Chapter 147

"Eat your breakfast." Clark's tone was cold, clearly upset by Nyla's indifference.

Nyla replied, "I'm not hungry right now. I'll eat later. You should go back

Clark's anger, which had been simmering since earlier, finally boiled over. He looked at her coldly, his voice laced with accusation. "Are you not hungry, or do you just lose your appetite when you see me?" Nyla frowned. "That's not what I meant."

"That's exactly what you meant. When Grandma called you to the house last night, why did you lie and say you were having dinner with colleagues?" Clark demanded.

Clark sneered. "Don't take me for a fool, Nyla. Are you worried about me, or are you afraid I'll drag my uncle down?"
