Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 154

Nyla shook Clark off, dismissing him with indifference. “You’re overthinking it.”

Clark was dissatisfied with her dismissive response, and his gaze grew colder.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself, he softened his tone. “Nyla, I know you feel wronged, but Grandma is getting old. I hope you can be more understanding.”

Nyla found his words laughable. Whenever the Sumners were involved, Clark’s solution was always for her to endure. She had previously ignored these issues because she loved him, but now she realized she would always come second to his family and career.

“Don’t worry, I have no issues with her,” she said calmly.

After all, she no longer cared about Clark, so why would she care about anyone else?
