Chapter 886

Chapter 886 was rejected

Harley had spent ten days writing the script and had mustered the courage to go to Jasmine for help,

all for the sake of Nina and his daughter. Now he had sold the script and chosen a suitable house but

was ruthlessly rejected by Nina.

Harley couldn’t figure it out. He didn’t understand that he had always been on Nina’s side, but the two

of them were still on the verge of falling apart.

“Nina, talk to me, can’t we take care of the baby together?” He asked. Her silence was eating him up so

he stepped forward and held her hand, only to have his hand gently pushed away.

“Sorry Harley, I’m so exhausted from everything. I just want to rest here.”

Maybe this is how their fate was meant to be. No matter how they seemed perfect for each other, they

just couldn’t be together.

Seeing her determination in Nina’s eyes, Harley drew a deep slow breath. He still wouldn’t give up.

“Give me a chance, okay? I promise to give you a peaceful life in the future, and I promise not to let the

baby…” Harley trailed off as the sound of True Paul’s crying echoed through the room.

“I’m going to check on her,” Nina announced and walked towards the bedroom.

Harley followed closely, watching Nina pick up their daughter and pat her on the back to comfort her. It

was a joy to see his daughter, but he noticed that the baby was a little thinner than a normal baby

would due to premature birth and the previous illness, so he felt more distressed. He stood there and

watched Nina coax the baby but after a while, he was tired of being a bystander so he stepped forward

and held out his hands.

“Let me hold True Paul,” Harley asked gently for fear of another rejection.

Nina, however, handed the baby over to Harley, sighing and saying: “True Paul was frightened two

days ago, and now she drinks very little milk powder every meal. Every time she falls asleep, she

wakes up crying loudly.”

Hearing these words, Harley immediately thought that the reason why her daughter was frightened

must be related to her previous miscarriage of Sylvia. But now, he did not pity Sylvia in the slightest

and put all his emotions and attention on Nina’s mother and daughter.

“Nina, just come with me. The house I told you about is in a good location. I rented it and I promise

you’ll like it. That way I can take care of you too.”

Nina pursed his lips and said nothing. To her surprise, she found that the baby which was coaxed by

Harley had stopped crying shortly after. Was the child closer to her father?

With Harley’s repeated pleas, Nina began to ponder on the offer. But before she could respond, the

sound of footsteps was heard outside and soon the house’s door was opened.

Nina turned around and saw that her parents had bought a bunch of vegetables and fish so she took

the daughter from Harley’s arms. “It’s better for me to hold her. you should go and say hello to my

parents,” Nina said, sitting on the edge of the bed, while Harley left to pay his respects.

“Mr. Kasen, Mrs. Ariana, you bought so many vegetables!” Harley exclaimed the first thing on his mind,

with a teeth-baring smile, as he saw the couple.

But the old couple didn’t share in his joy. They had learnt that Nina was slapped by Carlee, and

decided to be at war with the Timothy family from now on.

“Harley, your mother is too difficult to get along with. My daughter is either suffering from stress or

suffers humiliation in your house,” Kasen Paul said with a stern look.

Ariana, who was not very happy to see Harley, frowned and said angrily: “That day your mother

slapped half of Nina’s face swollen. You didn’t take it seriously, but her father and I felt distressed.

Since Nina was born till now, neither her father nor I have ever laid a finger on her.”

Only then did Harley know what had happened that day, and what was missing that his mother didn’t

tell him about. His whole body froze and suddenly felt ashamed.

“I’m sorry for what happened. I’m willing to apologize to you for my mother,” Harley said with a deep

bow.

However, Kasen Paul pulled him in, seeing the embarrassment of Harley, and his attitude was not as

hard as before.

“Harley, I don’t deny your affection for Nina, but your family…”

Kasen Paul shook his head. “You better take care of your own family first, otherwise we will not trust

Nina and granddaughter to you.”

Hearing Kasen Paul’s refusal, Harley was sad. He knew that his family was really in chaos at the

moment.

“Well, what you have said makes sense. I’ll come back to pick them up after I’ve dealt with everything,”

Harley reluctantly agreed before leaving the Paul family house, dejected.

As soon as he stepped into the sun, he felt dizzy and tired of everything. Not being able to take Nina

and his kid, his mood turned gloomy. He even began to lose interest in the second script he was

planning on working on. To him, there was no point in doing anything. As for his promise to Kasen Paul,

it seemed so out of reach. Frustrated, Harley sat in the car in deep thought.

Just as he tried to catch some rest, he heard the phone on the dashboard ring, and when he took it in

his hand, he saw that it was Jasmine’s call.

“Jasmine, is there something wrong with the script?”

Over the phone, Jasmine heard Harley’s weary voice and immediately guessed that he had probably

been rejected by Nina. But Jasmine has to get down to business first.

“There is no problem with the script. I want to inform you that the crew you introduced has been

successfully connected, but at present, you can only be an assistant director. If you are interested, let

me know so I can tell them

To make more money for the baby’s necessities, Harley wanted to try to work as a director in addition

to writing scripts. After a few years of filming, he once spent more time in the crew than at home, so he

knew the director well.

“Okay, then I’ll start as an assistant director. When do I start work?” Harley responded after thinking for

a while.

Jasmine chuckled softly. “Why are you in such a hurry? First, you have to communicate with the crew.”

She then made an appointment for him. But just as Harley was driving to find Jasmine, a white car

slowly drove to the community where the Paul family was located.

“This kind of place! It’s so shabby!” a voice who was sitting in the car at the moment said. Her voice

had a high sense of superiority. When the guest stepped out, it turned out to be Carlee.
