Chapter 174
Damon’s expression was grim, and his voice was icy. “I suppose I was just being delusional.”
With that, he turned and left.
Clark glanced at Nyla, his eyes burning with anger. “What was that about the bar? Why wasn’t I aware?”
“Was there a need to tell you? Could you have gone back in time to protect me?” Nyla retorted.
Clark gritted his teeth. “Nyla, you know I don’t want you getting involved with my uncle!”
Just the thought of Nyla getting hurt because of Damon, and potentially ruining his own plans, made Clark’s anger boil over.
Nyla’s expression remained indifferent. “I don’t want you getting involved with Jordyn either, but you still sneak off to see her, don’t you?”
Clark’s face darkened, but he couldn’t refute her.
Seeing his face turn red, Nyla let out a small laugh. “Enough. Just go. I really don’t want to see you right now.”
Clark stared at her in silence for a long time, his eyes cold. “Don’t forget, with just one word from me, your father’s kidney transplant might not happen.”
Fury flashed in Nyla’s eyes. “Clark, is threatening me with my dad all you know how to do?”
Clark stepped forward and gripped her chin. “If it works, that’s all that matters. If you don’t behave, your father’s kidney will go to someone else next month.”
Nyla bit her lip hard, tasting blood but refusing to let go. She stared at Clark, his once–familiar features now seeming foreign.
Was this really the man who had promised to love her forever and never let her be sad?
She had believed in his promises, but now she realized how naive she had been. Maybe he had meant those promises, but people’s hearts changed.
“What do you want me to do? Apologize? Beg you?” she asked.
Clark sneered, his tone mocking. “Nyla, don’t act like I’ve wronged you. Can you honestly say you took that knife for my uncle without any personal feelings involved?”
From the way Nyla had looked at Damon earlier, Clark could tell she wasn’t as indifferent to him as she claimed. But she was his wife, meant to love only him. How could she love another man?
“Yes!” Nyla exclaimed.
Clark smiled dangerously and leaned in, speaking softly. “Nyla, I know you too well. When you lie, your right pinky finger twitches slightly. You probably don’t even realize it.”
Nyla’s eyes widened slightly, and she gritted her teeth as she glared at him. “What do you want?”
“It’s not about what I want. It’s about you not listening. need to show you the consequences of defying me,” Clark said.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
