Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)

Clark stood for a moment before leaving. On his way back, he couldn't resist calling Michael. "Michael, arrange a medical check-up for me."

Michael's voice, filled with concern, came through the line. "Mr. Sumner, is something wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Just do as I asked. Since when did you start asking so many questions?" Clark snapped, hanging up coldly.

His mood was at an all-time low, wrestling with the possibility of infertility and the fear that it might be true.

He pulled over to the side of the road, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself. The check-up would reveal the truth. There was no way he could be infertile. And surely, Jordyn wouldn't deceive him!

Upon thinking of Jordyn, Clark's gaze hardened. He drove straight to her place.

...

"Clark, what brings you here? Have you eaten?" Jordyn's eyes lit up with delight as she quickly stepped aside to let him in.

Clark entered the living room with a blank expression and sat on the sofa, his cold eyes fixed on Jordyn's face.

Under his gaze, Jordyn grew uneasy, her smile faltering. "Clark, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? It's making me nervous..."

"It's nothing. I just realized I haven't really looked at you closely, so I wanted to take a good look," Clark replied.

His tone was casual, and Jordyn's cheeks flushed. She instinctively lowered her head. "Why are you saying things like that all of a sudden? It's making me shy." Inwardly, she was thrilled. She thought Clark's attitude toward her was improving. Once she had the baby, he would fall in love with her.

The thought of him treating her as he did Nyla filled her with excitement.

"Do you still have the prenatal check-up reports from last time?" Clark asked suddenly.

Jordyn froze at the unexpected question and instinctively looked up at him.

Clark sat on the sofa calmly, looking no different than usual. Yet, Jordyn couldn't shake a nagging sense of unease as she studied him with a probing gaze. "Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?" she asked.

Clark replied, "I just want to see them. After all, it's my child too."

Jordyn scrutinized him carefully but found nothing revealing in his expression. Pushing her doubts aside, she smiled and said, "They're in the bedroom. I'll go get them now if you want to see." FindNovel

As she turned away, her smile faded, replaced by a blank look.

A growing suspicion gnawed at her-was Clark beginning to doubt something?

Otherwise, why would he suddenly show interest in the prenatal reports when he'd always been indifferent? He'd only gone to the hospital with her after she'd brought it up multiple times.

Jordyn walked to her vanity in the bedroom and retrieved the prenatal reports from the drawer.

As she turned around, she gasped, startled to see Clark silently standing behind her. The reports slipped from her hands, scattering across the floor.

She pressed her hand to her chest, her face pale. "Clark, you startled me. You came so quietly..."

Clark's expression remained unchanged. "Did I scare you?"

"Of course, you did! Who wouldn't be startled by someone appearing out of nowhere like that?" Jordyn exclaimed.

She crouched slowly to gather the

scattered reports, then stood and handed them to Clark. "Here you go. All the reports from the initial pregnancy test to the follow-up check-ups are here."
