Taking note of the chilling aura surrounding Clark, Michael couldn't help but shiver with fear and nodded. "Okay. I understand."
After Michael left, Clark also drove away. Unwittingly, he found himself at the entrance of Nyla's apartment complex.
Memories of their past together filled him with a mixture of regret, both sour and bitter. If he hadn't been tempted by Jordyn, if he had been more resolute, he and Nyla wouldn't have ended up like this.
Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure—Nyla, slowly heading toward the entrance of the complex while carrying two heavy bags.
The weight of the bags forced her to stop and rest every few meters.
As Clark hesitated about whether to get out of the car, one of Nyla's bags broke, spilling the fruits onto the ground.
Taking a deep breath, Clark exited the car and walked swiftly toward Nyla.
Nyla was picking up the fallen apples when she saw Clark approaching. She immediately frowned, and her gaze grew guarded.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
Seeing the distant look in her eyes, Clark felt a pang of bitterness. "I was just passing by and noticed that you dropped your fruits..."
Passing by?
Nyla's apartment complex wasn't on a main road in Saintornia or on the way to his office. What were the chances of such a coincidence?
Nyla ignored him and didn't take the apple he offered. She continued gathering the scattered fruits and turned to leave.
Clark tightened his grip on the apple, his face a mix of pain and restraint.
After a moment's hesitation, he followed her. "Nyla, I came today to apologize... I—"

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....
