Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 21

“Got it, but I need some time to process this. Please leave now.”

Clark frowned, noticing Nyla’s indifference. “Nyla, I said I’d give you time, but can you stop pushing me

away?”

Frustrated by his persistence, Nyla looked him in the eye. “You say you’ll give me time, but have your really? The day after I found out about your affair, you tried to force yourself on me, and today you did it

again.

“From the start, I haven’t seen any real remorse from you. You’re just trying to smooth things over quic

quickly, but I can’t move on that fast. At least not right now. Do you understand?”

Seeing the redness in Nyla’s eyes, Clark felt a pang of guilt and regret. He reached out to hold her, but she stepped back and avoided his touch, leaving his hand suspended awkwardly in the air.

“Clark, in all these years of marriage, I’ve never wronged you. We’ve been together for eight years, not eight months or eight days.

“You betrayed me and expect me to accept it quickly. Do you think that’s possible? Unless my feelings for you were fake, no normal person could adjust that quickly.

“I can’t calmly accept your infidelity so soon. I’m begging you, please stop pushing me.”

Initially, Nyla just wanted Clark to leave, but as she spoke, she couldn’t help but choke up.

Ever since discovering Clark’s affair, she had been trying not to think about him. She would keep herself busy enough to fall asleep the moment she hit the bed, hoping time would dull the pain of betrayal. However, Clark’s relentless pressure left her no time to heal.

Clark’s heart ached at the sight of her tear–filled eyes. “Nyla… I’m sorry…”

Ever since Nyla mentioned divorce, he had apologized many times, but this was the first time it felt

sincere.

Nyla wiped her tears, gradually regaining her composure. “Just go. I don’t want to see you right now.”

Clark pressed his lips together, wanting to stay but knowing she wouldn’t agree. He nodded reluctantly. You’re living alone outside, so be careful. If anything happens, call me.”

Nyla didn’t respond, her expression cold.

As he turned to leave, he caught a glimpse of a black suit jacket draped over the sofa. He paused, recognizing it as the one Damon had worn during his visit.

Damon, who never meddled in others‘ affairs, not only helped Nyla leave the villa today but also gave her his jacket. The last time they went to the family home, Clark noticed Damon’s subtle glances at Nyla.

Despite this, Damon was his uncle, and he had no interest in women. It must be a coincidence.

Not wanting to dwell on it, Clark quickly left.

Downstairs, he received a call from his subordinate.

“Mr. Sumner, the doctor refuses to perform the abortion on Ms. Cheatham. Her uterine lining is too thin,

and there’s a high risk of severe bleeding

Clerk’s expression darkened instantly “Find another doctor. There must be someone willing to do it.”

He hung up abruptly.

The subordinate, fearing the consequences, hesitated before calling Cindy

After hearing the situation Cindy hesitated for a long time before making a decision. “Bring her back!”

Clark didn’t visit Nyla for the rest of the weekend and the enjoyed a rare period of calm

On Monday morning, Nyla had just awed at the R&D department when Genevieve stormed in, furious, She confronted Lucia in front of everyone tua, come to my office right now!”
