He answered, and Marie's booming voice cthrough. "Damon, chfor dinner tonight." Damon glanced at the pile of unfinished documents and immediately refused. "I'm busy." "No matter what, you must make ttonight. Otherwise, I'll go to your office and drag you hmyself," Marie warned.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, they headed to the Sumner residence.

As Clark pulled up to the entrance, Damon was about to walk in. Hearing the car, Damon turned around, his eyes narrowing slightly upon seeing the license plate. His expression becdistant.

Nyla noticed Damon first from inside the car and subconsciously tightened her grip on the seatbelt. Clark also saw Damon, and his gaze darkened. “Let's get out." As soon as Nyla stepped out of the car, Clark walked over and took her hand.

At that moment, Nyla's skin crawled. If Damon hadn't been watching, she would have pulled away from Clark's touch.

Noticing Nyla's compliance, Clark smiled and led her toward Damon. "Uncle Damon, what a coincidence." "Mm." Damon's gaze passed over their joined hands before settling on Nyla's face. "Why aren't you saying hello?" Nyla flushed with embarrassment. She had assumed that Damon would ignore her after what had happened in the restaurant. However, she didn't expect him to make things difficult in front of Clark.

She bit her lip and murmured, "Uncle Damon." Damon's gaze lingered on her red lips for a moment before he turned away coldly.

Noting Damon's frosty attitude toward Nyla, Clark was slightly surprised but quickly masked it with a smile. "Uncle Damon, Nyla is quite shy. You might scare her like that." "If she's scared, she shouldn't have been brought along," Damon retorted.

With that, Damon turned and walked away.

Upon seeing the smiles on Richard and Marie's faces, Clark's gaze darkened.

No matter how hard he tried, their attitude toward him was alwaysm lukewarm, unlike the enthusiasm they showed Damon. "Grandpa, Grandma," the couple greeted.

Marie looked at Clark and Nyla with a smile. "Clark, Nyla, you're here. Have e a seat. Ms. Hulle will be here shortly." After exchanging greetings with the elders, Nyla took a seat next to Clark but kept a slight distance from him.

"Damon, do you remember what I told you earlier? Be attentive to Ms. ve Halle tonight, or I won't forgive you!" Damon's peripheral vision caught sight of Nyla, who was staring at the floor, lost in thought.
