Clark briefly flipped through the reports, handed them back to Jordyn, and said indifferently, "Remember to keep these safe."
Jordyn took the reports. After placing them back in the drawer, she turned to face Clark. "Clark, is something wrong today? You seem a bit off."
Her unease grew as she wondered if he had discovered something.
Clark squinted slightly and, after a few seconds, said, "It's nothing. I'm probably just tired from work."
"Then lie down on the sofa, and I'll give you a massage," Jordyn offered.
"No need. I have work at the company. I just came to see you. Get some rest," Clark replied.
Normally, Jordyn would have tried to persuade Clark to stay, but she had her own concerns and didn't push the issue today.
Once she confirmed that Clark's car had left, she immediately called Rebecca. "Rebecca, did you say something to Clark?"
"What do you mean?" Rebecca asked.
Jordyn sneered. "What do I mean? Clark suddenly showed up tonight asking to see my prenatal check-up reports. The only person who knew about that was you. You must have said something to him!"
Rebecca sounded impatient. "You're not worth my trouble. Instead of questioning me, maybe you should consider if you've done anything to make him suspicious. After all, guilty consciences have a way of showing, don't you think?"
"Are you sure it wasn't you?" Jordyn pressed.
The response she received was a dial tone.
Jordyn put down her phone, feeling a twinge of unease. Could it really not have been Rebecca?
She had been extremely cautious lately and hadn't done anything to raise Clark's suspicions.
After thinking it over for a long while, without finding any clear answers, Jordyn decided to visit Clark's office the next day.

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....
