Nyla lifted her head to speak, but Clark grabbed her hand and smiled. "Grandma, we're working on it!"

Nyla tried to pull her hand away, but Clark's grip was too tight.

If he wouldn't let her be, she wouldn't make it easy for him either. She turned to Marie. "Grandma, I'm looking for a job right now, so having children might have to wait."

The room fell silent.

Clark's grip on Nyla's hand tightened painfully, and she winced.

Damon glanced at Clark's hand on Nyla, noticing the bulging veins, then looked away indifferently.

Clark's aunt, Anne Sumner, sneered. "Nyla, don't blame me for being blunt. You've been married for years. How can you not have a child yet? If it weren't for Clark insisting on marrying you, do you think your family could have ever married into the Sumners?

"You should be grateful. If you don't want to have Clark's child, there are plenty of women who do. If someone else steps in, you'll be the one looking foolish."

Besides, Anne thought, "Who knows if Nyla is fertile?"

She sounded like she meant well, but her gaze at Nyla was filled with an air of superiority.

Marie frowned at Anne, disapproving. "Anne, enough."

Anne pursed her lips but stayed silent.
