Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex! novel Chapter 64

**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane 64**

“Yes, I’m here to discuss business,” Damon stated flatly, his tone devoid of warmth.

Clark’s lips curled into a friendly smile as he responded, “Then I won’t keep you any longer. Nyla, let’s head inside.”

Nyla nodded quietly, her eyes cast downward, and followed Clark into the restaurant, her heart heavy with unspoken thoughts.

As she walked away, Damon’s expression darkened, shadows crossing his features as he watched their figures disappear into the establishment. His displeasure was almost tangible, a storm brewing beneath the surface.

Spencer, standing nearby, felt a wave of frustration rise within him at the sight of Damon’s scowl. Why was it always Damon who wore the weight of the world on his shoulders?

After a moment of internal debate, Spencer finally found the courage to speak up, his voice barely above a whisper. “Mr. Sumner, the meeting time is drawing near.”

Damon didn’t respond, merely scowling as he strode past Spencer and into the restaurant, the air thick with unspoken tension.

Inside, Clark was in high spirits. Tonight felt different; Nyla seemed less distant than before, and he had managed to smooth things over with Damon, at least for the moment.

Under the soft glow of candlelight, Clark’s gaze softened as it fell upon Nyla. “Nyla, I can’t tell you how glad I am that you’re willing to give me another chance. I promise you, I won’t let you down this time!”

Nyla barely registered his enthusiastic words, her mind elsewhere. She nodded absentmindedly, “Yeah, I believe you,” her voice lacking conviction.

She continued slicing her steak, the warm light illuminating her features, but her thoughts were far from the pleasant ambiance of the restaurant. The scene around her was calm and inviting, yet her heart was troubled.

Clark’s eyes sparkled with affection as he watched her, but Nyla remained oblivious to his gaze, her mind swirling with memories of her earlier encounter with Damon.

She hadn’t even greeted him properly; he must think she was ungrateful.

But even if he did, she had resolved to keep her distance. If she had her way, she would prefer to avoid any interaction with him altogether. It would spare her from the guilt that gnawed at her conscience.

“Nyla… Nyla?”
