Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

CHAPTER 10

Clark froze for a moment and instinctively said, “But you always buy these flowers when you go to the florist.”

Nyla looked away, Clark had probably forgotten that he had given her Jullet roses the day he confessed. It didn’t matter anymore. If he could betray their relationship, it was no surprise that he couldn’t remember such a small detail.

“That was in the past.”

She walked past him directly to the bedroom. She could feel his gaze on her, but she no longer cared if her words hurt him.

After changing clothes and coming downstairs, the housekeeper had already set dinner on the table. “Mr. and Mrs. Sumner, dinner is ready.”

Nyla nodded and went straight to the table, starting to eat without even glancing at Clark.

Clark frowned but said nothing, silently sitting across from her.

The housekeeper, Patricia Bambra, noticed the tension between them and guessed they had argued. She picked up the flowers from the coffee table, smiling at Nyla. “Mrs. Sumner, should I arrange these flowers in your room as usual?”

“No, just throw them away.”

In the past, even when they argued, Nyla had never been this cold. Patricia was momentarily at a loss and looked toward Clark.

Without lifting his head, Clark said indifferently, “Do as she says. Throw them away.”

Patricia regretted her words, realizing she had said the wrong thing. She quickly put the flowers down and retreated to the kitchen. After a moment’s hesitation, she sent a message to Clark’s mother, feeling that this argument was different from the ones before.

After dinner, Nyla got up and headed back to the bedroom. Just as she was about to close the door, a hand stopped it.

“Nyla, are you planning to stay this cold to me forever? We’re supposed to spend our lives together–Id rather you hit or scold me than give me the silent treatment.”
