Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Nyla's steps faltered, and she glared at Clark. "What did you tell m, ad?!"

Before Clark could respond, Harrison shouted, "You're questioning Clark? How could you betray him with his uncle?!"

Nyla's fingers trembled with rage. She couldn't believe Clark had the gall to twist the truth, and even more, she couldn't believe her father had fallen for it.

"Dad, do you really see me as that kind of person? You didn't even ask me, and you just believed Clark's side of the story, thinking I betrayed him?!" she questioned.

Nyla took a deep breath, deciding not to hide Clark's infidelity any longer. "Do you know it was he who-"

"Nyla, your dad was so upset earlier that he almost fainted. The doctor said he can't take any more stress. Do you really want to push him to the brink?"

Clark's loud voice drowned out Nyla's words.

She clenched her hands at her sides, her hatred for Clark reaching a peak. "If you know my dad can't take stress, why did you come here and tell him nonsense?!!

Clark sighed, looking helpless. "Fine. If you say there's nothing between you and my uncle, then I'll believe you. Just move back home and I won't hold anything against you." Harrison, who had just calmed down a bit, got agitated again. "You moved out?!"

Nyla took another deep breath and spoke slowly. "Dad, I'll explain everything to you later. Right now, you need to focus on getting better. Please don't get involved in our issues." "Move back home immediately! Married couples shouldn't live apart!" Harrison ordered.

Harrison and Nyla's mother had divorced after sleeping in separate rooms. He didn't want Nyla to go down the same path. Besides, if Nyla left Clark, she might be vulnerable to bullying. Clark quickly tried to soothe Harrison. "Dad, don't worry. I'll talk to Nyla. I'm sure she'll come back home.

soon."

Seeing Clark's seemingly conciliatory act, Nyla was furious. "Clark, can you stop pretending and making everyone sick?"

She hadn't revealed Clark's misdeeds out of concern for Harrison's health. Yet, Clark had exploited that, slandering her in front of Harrison.

Harrison frowned and was about to speak when the hospital room door opened.

Wren walked in with a thermos, smiling as she saw both Nyla and Clark. "Nyla, you and Clark came to visit your dad?"

Nyla nodded briefly, then looked at Clark. "Our problems are between us. Don't bring it up in front of the elders. Let's settle this outside." With that, she turned and left the room.

Harrison called after her, but she ignored him.

Wren glanced at Clark, her brows furrowing slightly. She was aware of his affair, and seeing him now filled her with disapproval and dissatisfaction. Clark didn't notice her gaze. He turned to Harrison and said, "Dad, today was my fault. Don't be angry with Nyla. I'll handle this. Please don't worry." Harrison sighed. "Nyla has been spoiled by me since she was little. For my sake, please be more patientProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

with her."

"Don't worry. She's my wife. I'll take good care of her," Clark assured him.

With that, Clark nodded to Wren and left the room.

As he stepped out, he saw Nyla waiting at the end of the hallway. She was clearly waiting for him.

Clark smiled and walked toward her.

As soon as he reached her, she slapped him hard across the face.
