Damon knew her well enough to understand that once she made up her mind, no one could change it. Thus, he didn't press the matter further.
As they arrived at the restaurant entrance, they ran into Clark and Jordyn.
The moment Clark saw Nyla and Damon together, his expression turned cold.
"Uncle Damon, why are you here alone with Nyla?" Clark asked icily.
"Thelped her out with something, and she's treatingto dinner to thank me. Is that a problem? Or are you just eager to provide the tabloids with more material? Perhaps you want to give the paparazzi more evidence of your affair?" Damon retorted.

"Since we've run into each other, why don't we all have dinner together?" Clark suggested.
Damon shot him a frosty glance. "Sitting your pregnant mistress at the stable as your wife-only you would think of that." Clark's expression darkened. He wouldn't have suggested it if he wasn't so keen on preventing them from spending talone together.

"Ms. Jayston, I don't mind joining you for dinner. After all, I'm not that petty," she said.
Nyla hadn't intended to engage with Jordyn, but + causing trouble, she couldn't let it slide.

"That's not necessary. I'm riding with Uncle Damon," she replied calmly.
Clark's anger bubbled like a volcano on the verge of eruption. He seemed ready to lose control. "Nyla, don't forget-you're still my wife!" he snapped.
Nyła chuckled, her gaze clear and piercing.
"And I don't recall any law that says just because you're my husband, I have to listen to everything you say," she retorted.
