Clark felt a wave of relief. It was fine as long as Nyla didn’t find out about that matter.
“Nyla, I blocked her a long time ago. She used a different number to contact me, and I hung up right away. I didn’t agree to have dinner with her,” he lied.
Clark looked at her with a pained expression, as if he were the one who had been wronged.
If Nyla hadn’t known about his disgusting affair with Jordyn, she might have believed him. Now, she couldn’t let him know she had been secretly gathering evidence of his infidelity.
Nyla looked down and forced herself to say, “Maybe I misunderstood you. Sorry.”
Seeing her soften, Clark spoke gently. “Rest assured. I promised you I wouldn’t have anything more to do with her, and I won’t break that promise.”
His words made Nyla want to vomit. How could he lie to her so effortlessly?!
She didn’t understand how the sincere and passionate boy she once knew had turned into this deceitful
man.

“So, why are you here today?” she asked.
“L… I just wanted to ask if your business trip went well,” he replied.
Nyla frowned. Did he come all this way just to ask something so trivial?
“It went fine. If there’s nothing else, you should leave,” she said.
Clark sighed. “Nyla, I’m your husband. I don’t want outsiders to know about your grievances while I remain in the dark.”
Nyla looked up sharply and met his knowing gaze, her expression turning cold. “Are you having me followed?”
“Not followed, protected,” he corrected her.
Nyla snickered. “Protected? When I was knocked out and nearly assaulted, where were your so–called protectors?”
Clark’s hands clenched at his sides, his eyes flashing coldly. If she had just listened to him and not gone on that trip, none of this would have happened. He knew he couldn’t say that out loud, though.
She brushed past him and grabbed her keys to open the door, but Clark suddenly grabbed her wrist. “Nyla, there’s one more thing.”

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....
