Chapter 836


    Chapter 836 Refusing to Compromise


    Carlee returned to her seat in the living room, this time with an oddly smug expression on her face.


    “The fool is searching for Nina, and he hasn’t found it yet, it seems,” she said.


    Carlee lingered on the lengthy note because she assumed that the reason Nina stopped bothering


    Harley was because she was dejected after being abandoned.


    Carlee felt absolutely no remorse, despite how terrible it may be for a pregnant woman to be in such a


    scenario.


    Carlee didn’t give a damn about the unborn child.


    Sylvia was, after all, young, gorgeous, healthy, and strong. In addition to having one child, having two


    or three in the future won’t be an issue.


    Sylvia feigned to be rmed when she heard Carlee contemting and added, “Mrs. Timothy, you can


    see Harley is sluggish; I’m going up to check on him.”


    “Just in time for you to develop sentiments, I suppose! Men are like this,” Carlee said with a sly smile


    as she shared her personal experience. “Whoever gives him warmth while at his lowest, will forever


    have that man’s heart.”


    “Really?”


    Sylvia, who has always imed to be uninformed about emotions, nodded cautiously and said, “Then


    I’ll try it. I just want Harley to be happier. I don’t expect Harley to ept me.”


    Harley’s obsession with Nina was cruel to Sylvia and she couldn’t see why she couldn’tpare to


    Nina.


    Sylvia took a deep breath and smiled at Carlee while keeping her head down to go up to the second


    floor.


    Harley was already resting on the bed at this point. He didn’t bathe because he was so exhausted. All


    he wanted was to fantasize about seeing Nina again.


    But soon as he started to nod off, Sylvia’s voice woke him up.


    “Harley, what are you doing? I want to discuss something with you.”


    Harley became irritated by the soft voice.


    “I’m sleeping. I’ll speak to you when I get up,”


    Then Harleyy over and turned his back on Sylvia.


    Hisck of interest in Sylvia had be a habit, but it wasn’t the best course of action in the long run.


    The rejected Sylvia considered how to remove Nina from Harley’s heart, which was the most important


    thing at the moment, as she stood outside the room’s door.


    Carlee saw her son sleeping in the room in the evening as night fell, so she knocked on the door and


    begged him to get up.

    “You need to eat. It’s almost seven o’clock. I won’t let you be foolish for that woman again, so get up


    now!”


    After pestering Harley for twenty minutes, Carlee eventually received a response.


    “I am an adult. You can’t tell me what to do. So leave me be,” Harley snapped


    When Carlee heard it, she became enraged and yelled, “How dare you speak to me in this manner!


    Would killing me make you happier?”


    Sylvia heard the argument in the hallway and rushed over to see what was going on.


    “All right, Harley, calm down. Mrs. Timothy is just worried about you. Why don’t we just eat in your


    room?” Sylvia said. Harley just snorted at her as he entered his room again and sat down.


    Sylvia quickly smirked at Carlee before continuing, “Mrs. Timothy, I’ll join you downstairs after I finish


    with Harley, ok?”


    Carlee nodded as she knew it would be impossible to enter Harley’s room with how upset her was. She


    watched Sylvia enter the room and close the door behind her. Carlee hoped that Sylvia was able to win


    Harley’s heart. She was getting sick and tired of Harley moping about Nina.


    “Don’t go against Mrs. Timothy, Harley.”


    Sylvia stood in front of Harley and talked, gently and calmly exining: “She’s old and has only recently


    been released from the hospital. What if she bes ill once more?”


    Harley scoffed.


    “How long do you intend to y this game? Do you believe that trying to appease my mum by being


    pregnant will make mepromise?”


    Harley had some knowledge about Sylvia, even if he was unaware of her pregnancy.


    He wouldn’t fall in love with this kind ofdy because of Sylvia’s duplicity, even if there was no Nina


    between them.


    Even after Harley revealed that he knew she was faking, Sylvia maintained herposure.


    “It doesn’t matter what you think of me, even if you detest me, but I hope you and Mrs. Timothy don’t


    do irreparable damage to your rtionship,” Sylvia sighed sweetly in response.


    “You don’t have to worry about me or my family. You could just leave me alone like I’ve been asking


    you to do.”


    Harley continued to reject her and snorted angrily without giving it a second thought.


    The forbearing look of Sylvia was pursed, and a tinge of concern was added.


    “But you can’t neglect your personal image since you are a public figure. Have you been reading the


    newstely? People have been saying damning things about you. You should…”


    Sylvia was interrupted by Harley, who scoffed and said, “I don’t care, even if I don’t act, I have saved


    enough money, so I can still live well.”


    In light of this, Sylvia felt helpless.


    She discovered that Harley was exhibiting an extreme attitude and was not susceptible to either good


    or evil persuasion.


    After dinner, Sylvia attempted to pacify Harley again.


    As she stroked her t stomach and spoke to herself, Sylvia began to y the family card. “You torture


    yourself like this every day, I’m scared you will get sick, what if the kid doesn’t have a father?”


    Harley viewed the unborn child as a burden because he held no affection for Sylvia nor the child. He


    didn’t even believe the child was his. Even if the child was his, Harley was at the point that he would


    disown the child if it meant getting Nina back.


    “If you’re worried so much, you can abort the child whenever you want, and I’ll pay for it. It’s not my


    fault you won’t listen to me. I have told you more than once that I don’t want you nor that child,” Harley


    said icily.


    Sylvia frowned and said in a tearful tone, “You still refuse to ept my child?” Harley surprised her by


    being so callous to herself. “Do you realize this a life you’re talking about? A life that you helped


    create!”


    “That is yet to be determined, you sly witch!”


    As Harley’s temper red, he sprang up, grabbed Sylvia by the arm, and dragged her out the bedroom


    door.


    “Our chat is over; please don’t bother me again.”


    With a loud bang, Harley mmed the door in her face and locked it to ensure she wouldn’t try toe


    in again.


    Finally, there was silence, and Harley just desired a restful night’s sleep. He jerked awake again after


    hearing Sylvia yell in agony from outside the door.


    “Harley, open the door for me-my stomach hurts so bad!”
