Chapter 340
Impatience flickered in Nylaâs eyes. âI do. t have anything to say to you, and I donât see you as a plague. To me, youâre just a stranger.â
Clark looked somewhat helpless. âWhy be so stubborn? We used to love each other. Even though weâre apart now, I still want the best for you. Itâs just that my uncle isnât right for you.â
Nyla frowned and said coldly, âI donât want to hear your nonsense. Move aside!â
Her good mood, which had brightened after meeting Caroline, was completely ruined by her encounter with Clark.
Jordyn sneered. âClark, stop talking. If she wants to be the third wheel, let her. Itâs not like youâll be the one embarrassed in the end.â
Nyla had initially tried to ignore them, but couldnât help glancing at Jordyn upon hearing this.
âSpeaking of being a third wheel, Ms. Cheatham, you must have a lot of experience since you moved up from being a third wheel yourself, right?â she retorted.
Jordynâs face turned ugly. âNyla, what are you babbling about? Clark and I are legally married now. Iâm the legitimate Mrs. Sumner. Unlike you, who was just a temporary fling for Damon. Now that his ex is back, heâs eager to get rid of you. Itâs really laughable!â
Nylaâs expression remained indifferent. âJust because you have a marriage certificate doesnât mean you didnât start as a third wheel. Do you want me to post those disgusting videos of you and Clark online so people can see what kind of people you are?â
Jordynâs anger flared, and she was about to retort when Caroline,

who had been watching, couldnât hold back any longer.
âClark, I saw you and Nyla together back in university. You were so good to her then. I never thought youâd turn out like this,â she said.
Clark just noticed Caroline, recognizing her as Nylaâs senior from university. They had dined together a few times.
Suddenly, the fond memories he had tried to forget resurfaced.
Back in university, he had been very good to Nyla. At that time, he was entirely devoted to her and couldnât bear to see her cry. Whenever her eyes reddened, he would feel as if the world were ending and would clumsily try to comfort her.
Eight years was a long time, and he had forgotten when he had gradually stopped caring as much. Perhaps he had assumed she would never leave him, so he had begun to hurt her recklessly.
Seeing Clark lost in thought, Jordyn clutched her stomach and cried out, âOh, Clark⦠My stomach hurtsâ¦â
Jordynâs distress broke through Clarkâs thoughts. He turned to her.â Whatâs wrong?â
âI donât know. It just suddenly hurtsâ¦â Jordyn cried.
Jordynâs brows were furrowed, her face pale and genuinely distressed.
Clark ignored Nyla and Caroline, quickly helping, Jordyn away.
As their figures disappeared, Caroline finally turned to Nyla with concern. âNyla⦠Are you okay?â
Nyla smiled. âIâm fine. Iâm no longer unset. Iâll take you back to your hotel.â

On the way back to the hotel, Caroline seemed hesitant, wanting to say something but struggling to find the right moment.
When the car stopped at the hotel entrance, she finally gathered the courage to speak. âNyla, I hope youâll seriously consider what I
mentioned earlier. Itâs only been four years, and you still have many years ahead of you.â
Nyla nodded, her gaze soft. âI know, Caroline.â
