Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 164

Nyla pressed her lips together and looked down. “Yes.”

Out of the corner of his eye, Clark glanced at her phone on the table and said calmly, “I believe you. I brought some ointment. Let me help you apply it.”

Once Jordyn had the baby, he planned to send her away immediately, ensuring she never came between him and Nyla again.

He stepped forward, but Nyla suddenly stepped back, saying, “No need. I’ll do it myself.”

Seeing the distance in her eyes, Clark suppressed his disappointment and forced a smile. He handed her the ointment and reminded her, ” Apply it now and again before bed. The swelling should go down by morning.”

She took the ointment from him. “Thank you.”

“I’m your husband. It’s my duty to take care of you,” Clark said.

“I’m going to rest now,” Nyla told him.

“Alright, I’ll get back to work,” Clark replied.
