Clark looked at Nyla with a complicated expression, disappointment washing over him. In the past, her gaze had always been warm and loving, but now it was so cold.
"Nyla, how have you been? I heard you're involved in a lawsuit over the leak of Prospectus Technology's experimental data. You—"
Nyla frowned and cut him off sharply, "That doesn't concern you. Just keep your woman in check and make sure she doesn't lash out at random people."
Without waiting for Clark's response, she let go of Jordyn and walked away.
Jordyn had wanted to confront her, but her expression changed when she noticed Clark's gaze lingering on Nyla as she left.
She wrapped her arm around Clark's, speaking softly. "Clark, we're here to look at rings today. Let's not let someone irrelevant spoil our mood."
Clark pulled his gaze away, looking at her with a trace of coldness. "If you see her again, treat her as a stranger or avoid her."
Jordyn's eyes flashed with anger, but she tightened her grip on Clark's arm and forced a smile. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Now that her relationship with Clark had finally improved, she didn't want to risk it by fighting over Nyla.
While choosing rings, Clark was clearly distracted.
Jordyn pretended not to notice, trying on several rings before selecting a pair she liked and having Clark pay for them.
After buying the rings, Clark sent Jordyn home and left.
The moment Clark was gone, Jordyn's smile vanished, replaced by a cold look.
She called Rebecca. "When are you going to make a move on Nyla?"

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....
