Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Nyla nodded. "Yeah."

"Your suitor must be quite wealthy. I remember that bracelet symbolizes a lifetime of love for only one person. He must really like you."

A discreet flash of sarcasm crossed Nyla's eyes as she placed the bracelet back in its box. "Maybe." Seeing Nyla's lack of enthusiasm, Sasha felt

a bit uneasy but didn't press further. Over time, she had learned that although Nyla appeared gentle and approachable, she was very private about certain matters. Besides, they weren't close enough for such i

As Nyla closed the jewelry box, Lucia happened to pass by. She caught a glimpse of the diamond bracelet inside and felt a surge of jealousy. After her previous experience at the bar, she decided not to confron

In the evening, as Nyla exited the company, she saw Clark standing a short distance away. She paused and looked at him.

Upon seeing her, Clark quickly approached. "Nyla, let's have dinner together tonight."This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Nyla lowered her gaze, her hands slightly clenched. After a moment, she looked up at him, her expression calm. "Alright."

Relieved by her affirmative response, Clark smiled. "I booked a reservation at your favorite restaurant, but/ if you prefer something else tonight, we can switch."

Nyla shook her head. "No need. That's fine."

As they approached the car, Clark hurried ahead to open the passenger

door for Nyla. Since their wedding. Clark had been so busy with work that they rarely had the chance to dine out together. Ironically, he seemed to find the time after she discovered his affair. With that thought, a trace of mockery crossed Nyla's eyes.

Once Nyla was seated, Clark closed the door and walked around to the driver's side. As he started the car, he asked casually, "You didn't like the bracelet I sent you? Why aren't you wearing it?" "I like it, but it's not practical to wear while doing experiments."

Clark fell silent for a moment before speaking again. "Nyla, I don't oppose you working, but doing experiments is exhausting. You used to stay up all night for it in university. I don't want you to be so tired. Let me

His primary concern was that he had discovered Damon's company had invested in Park Pharmaceuticals and was now one of its shareholders.

Although Nyla claimed there was nothing between her and Damon, Clark instinctively wanted to minimize their interaction. His affair with Jordyn had started similarly-

too much time spent together leading to a lapse in judgment. He didn't want to make the same mistake again.

Nyla frowned at him. "This is the work I love. No matter how tiring or hard it is, I find joy in it. I hope you

can respe

my choice."

Clark's grip on the steering wheel tightened, his knuckles turning white.

Sensing that their relationship was finally beginning to thaw, he didn't want to risk another argument that could bring them back to square one. Reluctantly, he decided to let it go for now, planning to address it a "Alright, I'll respect your decision. But if you ever want to quit, just do it. I can support you."

Nyla smiled, saying nothing. Clark could more than support her-

he was already supporting a mistress. Ten more wouldn't be an issue for him, apparently. He seemed to forget that the money he was spending was their marital assets.
