Chapter 21
“Got it, but I need some time to process this. Please leave now.”
Clark frowned, noticing Nyla’s indifference. “Nyla, I said I’d give you time, but can you stop pushing me
away?”
Frustrated by his persistence, Nyla looked him in the eye. “You say you’ll give me time, but have your really? The day after I found out about your affair, you tried to force yourself on me, and today you did it
again.
“From the start, I haven’t seen any real remorse from you. You’re just trying to smooth things over quic
quickly, but I can’t move on that fast. At least not right now. Do you understand?”
Seeing the redness in Nyla’s eyes, Clark felt a pang of guilt and regret. He reached out to hold her, but she stepped back and avoided his touch, leaving his hand suspended awkwardly in the air.
“Clark, in all these years of marriage, I’ve never wronged you. We’ve been together for eight years, not eight months or eight days.
“You betrayed me and expect me to accept it quickly. Do you think that’s possible? Unless my feelings for you were fake, no normal person could adjust that quickly.
“I can’t calmly accept your infidelity so soon. I’m begging you, please stop pushing me.”
Initially, Nyla just wanted Clark to leave, but as she spoke, she couldn’t help but choke up.
Ever since discovering Clark’s affair, she had been trying not to think about him. She would keep herself busy enough to fall asleep the moment she hit the bed, hoping time would dull the pain of betrayal. However, Clark’s relentless pressure left her no time to heal.
Clark’s heart ached at the sight of her tear–filled eyes. “Nyla… I’m sorry…”
Ever since Nyla mentioned divorce, he had apologized many times, but this was the first time it felt
sincere.
As he turned to leave, he caught a glimpse of a black suit jacket draped over the sofa. He paused, recognizing it as the one Damon had worn during his visit.

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....
