Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 131

Feeling frustrated and aggrieved, Clark watched as Nyla finished her breakfast and left the table. As he stared at her retreating figure, he slammed his fork and knife onto the table, startling Patricia, who was seated nearby.

“Mr. Sumner, is the breakfast not to your liking?” Patricia asked.

Clark rose from his seat and departed without responding, hist expression stern.

As soon as he got into his car outside the villa, his phone rang. Seeing that it was Cindy calling, he answered with a frown. “Mom, what’s the matter so early in the morning?”

“Clark, did you know Nyla can’t have children?!” Cindy demanded.

Clark’s expression turned icy as he asked, “Did Jordyn tell you?”

“Never mind who told me. If she really can’t have children, you need to divorce her immediately!” Cindy insisted.

Cindy was infuriated. “I wouldn’t want to tell anyone! Your aunt is always complaining about Nyla not having kids. If she finds out Nyla can’t have children, she’ll mock me behind my back!”

“Just pretend you don’t know. How we handle this is our business,” Clark said, his tone final.

Clark’s warning tone, Cindy’s anger intensified. She was trying to help him, and now he was shutting her
