Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off Ex (Nyla and Clark) novel Chapter 188

**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane 188**

**Chapter 188**

“Yeah. We did tests before. Her body has a hard time conceiving, so I plan to have Jordyn carry the baby and then let Nyla raise it as her own,” Clark revealed, his voice steady but laced with an underlying tension.

Marie felt a surge of fury rise within her. “Why are you only mentioning this now?!” she exclaimed, her tone sharp enough to cut through the air.

If she had known earlier that Nyla was unable to bear children, she would have never allowed Clark to wed her, no matter how many times he had knelt before her, pleading for approval. The thought of Nyla, with her audacious demeanor, raising a child that wasn’t biologically hers filled Marie with a sense of dread.

Clark lowered his gaze, the weight of his words pressing down on him. “I thought with some time and treatment, we’d eventually succeed…” His voice trailed off, uncertainty creeping in.

Marie took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain composed, though her heart raced with indignation. “Call Nyla back immediately. You must divorce her!” she declared, her voice cold and unyielding.

Given Nyla’s previous displays of disrespect, Marie had already harbored dissatisfaction toward her. Now, with the revelation of Nyla’s inability to conceive, there was no way she would allow her to remain married to Clark. The thought was intolerable.

Clark lifted his head, meeting Marie’s fierce gaze. “Grandma, I won’t divorce her. Even if she can’t have children, I don’t care.” His defiance surprised even him, but something deep within urged him to stand his ground.

“You’re truly insane. If you don’t divorce her, you’re no longer my grandson!” Marie’s voice thundered as she turned on her heel, storming away with a fury that echoed in the silence left behind.

Richard, standing nearby, regarded Clark with a frigid stare. “I agree with your grandmother. Besides, Nyla plans to divorce you. Do you really want to spend your life with a woman who can’t bear children?” His words were laced with a harsh reality that Clark was reluctant to face.

They had been married for a mere three years, and already, the cracks in their union were showing. What would the future hold for them if this was how things began?

Unlike previous encounters, Clark felt an unusual stubbornness wash over him as he replied, “Grandpa, no matter what you say, I won’t divorce her.” His resolve was stronger than ever, fueled by a newfound sense of purpose.

Clark stood tall, meeting Richard’s gaze with a defiant glare. “Ask him about it yourself. I also want to see if he has the nerve to confess to you!” With that, he turned on his heel, leaving the room without a backward glance.

Richard’s furious shouts echoed after him, but Clark brushed them aside, his heart pounding with a mix of anger and liberation.

Outside the Sumner residence, Clark tilted his head back, staring up at the vast expanse of the clear blue sky. His eyes burned with resentment and determination. He was resolute in carving out his own path, refusing to be threatened or controlled by anyone again.

Meanwhile, Damon sat in a meeting at Prospectus Technology when his phone vibrated insistently on the table, breaking his focus.

Seeing Richard’s name flash across the screen, he raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Let’s take a ten-minute break,” he announced, excusing himself as he picked up the phone and moved toward the window.

As soon as he answered, Richard’s furious voice erupted from the other end. “Damon, Clark just accused you of coveting someone else’s wife. What’s going on?” The urgency in Richard’s tone was undeniable, and Damon felt a knot form in his stomach.
