**Chapter 192**
“Call me when you’ve made up your mind,” Clark instructed, his voice steady yet laced with an undertone of concern.
Nyla, feeling the weight of his words, grasped her phone tightly, her eyes glued to the floor as if the ground could swallow her insecurities. Once Clark departed, she hurriedly secured the door, the sound of the lock clicking echoing in the stillness of the room. She wedged a chair against the door, a small barrier that offered her a fleeting sense of safety in her turbulent world.
After a moment of contemplation, she took a deep breath and dialed Damon’s number, her heart racing with uncertainty.
In the living room of the Sumner residence, the atmosphere was thick with tension. Richard and Marie sat on the plush sofa, their faces etched with concern, while Damon stood across from them, his posture relaxed yet betraying an inner turmoil.
“Clark mentioned you have feelings for a married woman. Is that true?” Richard’s voice was sharp, his gaze piercing into Damon as if attempting to uncover the truth hidden beneath layers of familial expectations.
As Richard’s eldest son, Damon carried the weight of the family’s reputation on his shoulders. The thought of any scandal involving him and a married woman sent a shiver down Richard’s spine. He could not abide by such a disgrace.
Marie’s expression mirrored her husband’s displeasure. She had introduced Damon to countless eligible young women, each more suitable than the last, yet none had sparked even a flicker of interest in him. The idea that he would now be entangled with a married woman was nothing short of a catastrophe in her eyes.
Realizing that evasion was futile, Damon decided to confront the situation head-on. “Yes,” he admitted, his voice steady despite the storm brewing around him.
Richard’s frustration erupted as he slammed his hand down on the table, the forceful sound reverberating through the room. “I don’t care who you’re interested in! You need to put an end to this nonsense immediately!”
Marie’s hand flew to her chest, her shock palpable. “Damon, you’ve never caused us any trouble. With your status, you could have any woman you desire. Why on earth are you fixated on a married woman?” Her voice trembled, a mixture of disbelief and desperation.
Damon met their intense stares with unwavering resolve. “She’ll be divorced soon.”
Marie’s distress was almost tangible, her voice barely above a whisper. “Even if she divorces, it’s unacceptable! If you’re involved with a divorced woman, what will people say about you? They’ll say you’ve lowered yourself to picking up someone else’s leftovers!”
