However, in the next moment, Clark found his suspicion somewhat laughable. If he were truly infertile, how could Jordyn be pregnant?
On the other end of the line, Michael spoke up after a brief silence. "Mr. Sumner, is there anything else you need?"
Clark's voice was low and firm. "No, that's all."
He had initially considered asking Michael to schedule another body check-up, but now he felt it was unnecessary.
Just after ending the call, Clark walked into the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Jordyn was coming out of the doctor's office, holding a report and smiling.
"Clark, the doctor says the baby is healthy," she said.
"Great. Since the check-up is done, let's go," he replied curtly, not waiting for her reaction as he turned and walked away.
To Clark, merely accompanying Jordyn to the prenatal check-up was already a significant gesture. He had no interest in the finer details or in taking care of her. After all, Jordyn had nothing and wouldn't leave him, even for money.
Jordyn's expression dimmed as she watched Clark's retreating back. She then quickened her pace to catch up with him.
…
As they reached the parking lot, they ran into Nathaniel and Rebecca.
Rebecca's face was pale, and she looked a bit wilted. She greeted Clark and Jordyn with a smile. "Mr. Sumner, Ms. Austen, are you here for a prenatal check-up?"
Her gaze briefly flicked over Jordyn's stomach with a hint of derision.
Jordyn frowned and shot Rebecca a warning look.
Rebecca seemed unaffected, as Jordyn was never her target.
Nathaniel greeted Clark and then turned to Rebecca, speaking quietly. "Rebecca, we're running late for our appointment with the doctor."

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....
