Chapter 47

"I'll take you back. With your hand injured, it's inconvenient for you to cook. You should move back to the villa for now. Once your injury heals, you can go back to your rental place."

There was a flash of dissatisfaction in Nyla's eyes as she looked at Clark in displeasure. "I'm just injured, not paralyzed. I can take care of myself."

They locked eyes for a moment, and Clark eventually relented. "Fine. Then I'll have the maid prepare meals and deliver them to you every day."

Seeing Nyla still wanting to refuse, he added in a low voice, "Choose between coming back to the villa with me or having the maid send you meals."

Having been with Clark for eight years, Nyla knew his personality well. He was never easy to persuade. If she refused again, he might actually go as far as forcing her back to the villa and keeping her there. "I'll choose the second option."

The tension in Clark's lips finally relaxed at her words, and his gaze softened as he looked at her. "I'll send you back."
