Nyla panicked and lunged at Clark. "Give me back my phone!"
Clark stumbled backward from her sudden attack, struggling to regain his balance. He grabbed her hand and said coldly, "I came here today to discuss something with you."
Nyla wrenched her hand away. "I have nothing to discuss with you."
She looked up at him with a cold, unyielding gaze, her demeanor starkly different from the gentle woman he once knew.
"Nyla, I've informed my grandparents that I won't be returning to the Sumner Group. I'm planning to start my own business," Clark said.
Nyla's expression remained unmoved. "What you do has nothing to do with me."
Clark's gaze darkened. "Nyla, we're married. We're supposed to spend our lives together. Do you really want to make our relationship so strained?"
His words struck Nyla as somewhat amusing. How could he still be dreaming that she would spend her life with him?
Nyla's silence caused Clark's grip on the phone to tighten, his knuckles turning white.
He took a deep breath and said softly, "It was wrong of me to ask you to tell my grandparents that you wanted a child. I apologize. I won't force you to do things you don't want to do in the future."
"If that's all you wanted to say, you can leave now," Nyla said curtly.
"Nyla, I need your help to start my business. You're working for someone else at Prospectus Technology.
"Why not join me? You'll only need to focus on drug research in the lab. I'll handle everything else and give you shares in the company. You'll be a shareholder. What do you think?" Clark offered.
Nyla laughed softly. "So you've finally revealed your true intentions. But it's a pity. I don't have a second patent right now. Even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you."

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....
