Lethelp you apply it." Once Jordyn had the baby, he planned to send her away immediately, ensuring she never cbetween him and Nyla again.
He stepped forward, but Nyla suddenly stepped back, saying, "No need. I'll do it myself." Seeing the distance in her eyes, Clark suppressed his disappointment and forced a smile. He handed her the ointment and reminded her, " Apply it now and again before bed. The swelling should go down by morning." She took the ointment from him. "Thank you." "I'm your husband.

As he turned away, he heard the door close behind him, and a bitter smile tugged at his lips.

After a few seconds, she looked up at him, saying, "I'll go back to work now. Thank you again for yesterday." Damon didn't look at her, his eyes focused on the document.
Feeling a tightness in her chest, Nyla turned and left. She did not want to humiliate herself further.
Once the office was quiet again, Damon threw the document on the desk, frustration and anger boiling over. He had already guessed Nyla's 2/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 164 answer when Clark asked if she would ever love him last night, but hearing it confirmed still stung.
