Upon seeing is completely different attitude toward Clark–no longer the cold and distant demeanor she once had–Valerie’s eyes flashed with frustration.

“Hyla, I hope you won’t regret your decision today” she said.

With that, Valane turned and walked away, testing the might lose her temper if she stayed any longer.

How had Nyla gone from being fine when she moved out previously to becoming so infatuated in less than a month?

Fuming in her car, Valarie was about to start the engine when she suddenly had a troubling thought. When she had asked Nyla if she still had feelings for Clark, Nyla had hesitated,

Moreover, her gaze toward Clark had been devoid of the previous affection and warmth–almost indifferent

Could it be that Nyla had some unavoidable reason for moving back?

Valarle decided she would talk to her again in the near future.

After Valarie left, Clark said, “Valarie is always bad mouthing me and ruining our relationship. You should have less contact with her in the future”

Nyla frowned and replied coldly, “She’s my friend. Whether she’s good or bad isn’t your concern. Besides, she’s not wrong, is she?

Clark’s eyes flashed with anger as Nyla defended Valarie. Was he not as important to her as a friend? But, realizing he was indeed at fault, he couldn’t argue back strongly,

Seeing Nyla turn back to her packing and not intending to engage with him, he hesitated but walked over

to her.

“Nyla, I’m sorry, I was too emotional earlier. I shouldn’t have spoken ill of your friend,” he said.

Nyla’s previously cold expression softened slightly. She nodded and said, “Yes, Valarie is my best friend. I hope you can respect her.”

After what happened today, Clark’s dislike for Valarie was deep–seated,

However, he knew it was unwise to argue with Nyla about her right now. He planned to address the issue of Valarie later, once Nyla had forgiven him.

“Alright, I’ll listen to my wife.”

Nyla’s gaze remained calm as she looked down.

“Oh, by the way, we need to move quickly. Grandma and Grandpa have invited us for dinner tonight,” Clark mentioned.

Nyla’s curiosity was piqued. The Sumner elders were known for their quiet lifestyle and rarely invited younger family members over except for their monthly family dinners.

“Why the sudden invitation?” she asked.

Clark smiled. “Grandma wants to introduce a potential girlfriend to Uncle Damon. She’s afraid the girl might feel shy being alone, so she thought it would be good for you to join them for dinner since you’re around the same age. Looks like you’re helping out again.”

Nyla was distracted, nearly dropping the photo frame she was holding.

After a few seconds, she managed a smile. “That’s good. If Grandma is introducing someone, she must be carefully chosen.”

“Of course. She’s the daughter of Builders Property’s boss. She just returned from studying abroad,” Clark mentioned.

The owner of Builders Property had amassed a fortune through real estate before shifting his company’s resources to the new energy vehicle industry.

The company had thrived, and now his net worth was over ten billion. His daughter was a suitable match for Damon, which explained why the Sumner elders were so eager.

Seeing that Nyla remained composed, Clark looked down thoughtfully.

Could it be that Nyla had never been attracted to Damon at all?
