Chapter 853 Weirdness in the Kitchen

Having been humiliated by the old couple, again and again, Tom stood in the corridor without saying a

word. He didn’t expect that after so long, even if Nina was betrayed by Harley and gave birth to a child,

they still couldn’t accept him as the right one for their daughter. To rub more salt on his wounds, Harley

stood there humming and pretending to take pity on him.

“Mr. Warren, if you want what’s best for yourself, I would suggest you steer clear of Nina in the future.”

Leaving Ton Warren meditating on this advice, Harley headed towards the elevator.

He thought he had won it all and was just a few yards away from stepping into the elevator when a

warm substance got splashed on his head, subsequently trickling down his face and soiling his clothes.

He turned round sharply only to see that Tom had caught up with him and had emptied a half bucket of

warm porridge on his head and was now holding on to the empty cooler.

“Bastard! That’s for daring to pour water on me!” Tom cursed, throwing the thermal bucket on the

window sill, before kicking Harley to the ground.

Not willing to accept defeat, Harley wiped the sticky porridge off his face and threw himself at Tom in

rage. The two went at each other, throwing punches at each other. This went on for a while, leaving the

hospital to suffer the steam, stench and salty smell of fish fillets.

Kasen Paul heard the commotion and rushed out to see what was going on. True to his suspicion was

Harley and Tom fighting.

“Dog bites dog, let’s ignore it!” Kasen Paul remarked, tugging at his wife’s sleeve and pulled Ariana

back to the ward.

During this time, Nina could only lie on the hospital bed, still crippled by the pains from childbirth. She

heard the commotion outside and vaguely guessed that the two were fighting again.

“Dad, can you help me out of bed? I don’t want them to be like enemies,” she asked when her parents

returned.

“There are a lot of things you need to worry about, Nina, but not those two rascals outside! Just lie

down and don’t move!” Ariana advised, stepping forward to stop Nina as she was determined not to let

her daughter get involved.

Minutes passed and the fighting had not stopped, Nina was

beginning to get upset, crying and persuading her parents to intervene.

“Parents, I’m sorry for this whole mess. But it’s Harley’s fault. Why do you take your anger on Tom

instead?”

Recently, Nina was always standing up for Tom. This pattern of behaviour was beginning to make the

old couple think that their daughter was still in love with Tom and this displeased them.

“My daughter, we know Tom has not betrayed you like Harley, but there is another reason why he has

not been accepted by us to be your husband,” Mrs. Ariana said, sitting on the hospital bed. “When your

father let him leave you, it wasn’t just because of his poor family background, but because of the

character of the young man.”

Kasen sighed despondently and shook his head before speaking. “I checked the details of Tom and

found that he often fought in junior high school, and he even stole things in high school, but because he

was not old enough, he was not sentenced, and it is said that he was almost admitted to a juvenile

detention centre.”

These remarks shocked Nina. In her impression, Tom has always been a simple and kind man. And

throughout their time together, Tom never mentioned these past experiences.

“Dad, are you kidding me? Tom can’t be that kind of person!” Nina retorted, confused about what to

believe.

Nina wanted to believe the words her parents spoke were not true. That perhaps they painted Tom to

her as a mischievous man just to get her to give up on her love for him.

“How could your father lie to you?” asked her mother. “We didn’t tell you at first, because we were

afraid that you would go into depression after you two broke up. But now you know, just keep a

distance from Tom.”

Kasen Paul agreed with his wife’s idea, and patiently enlightened his daughter: “You are still young, we

will introduce you to someone in two years, and don’t associate with Tom in the future.”

Nina was too stunned to say anything. Her head was in a spiral and she began getting sceptical about

Tom’s unbearable past.

At the same moment, Harley and Tom were ejected from the hospital by security. In this fight, none of

them had the upper hand, and the final result was just two losers. But after what happened just now,

Harley was optimistic about the future.

In pain and embarrassment, Harley drove home, took a shower, and hid in his room to look up

pregnancy meal recipes online. It happened that the servant came back from shopping, so he went

downstairs into the kitchen and immediately began to prepare the pregnancy meal by himself. Although

Harley rarely cooked, he believed that as long as Tom could do it, he could do it too. So off to the Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

kitchen he went to wash the ingredients he intended to cook the soup for Nina.

Outside the kitchen, looking in the clouds of mist and wondering why Mr. Timothy, who never touched

any dirt with his fingers, was so diligent today was Mrs. Barns; the servant.

Sylvia came to the living room from upstairs. She was surprised to see Harley busy in the kitchen.

“Mrs. Barns, Harley seems to be hungry, go and help him cook!”

Hearing Sylvia’s order, the servant explained embarrassingly: “Ms. Sylvia, it’s not that I don’t want to

help him cook. It’s just that Mr. Gibson had instructed me not to go into the kitchen.”

“That’s weird…” Sylvia muttered, frowning and curious about Harley’s odd behaviour.

Without hesitation, she walked to the kitchen in brisk steps, only to see Harley cooking with

headphones plugged into his ears. Too stunned to speak, she leaned against the refrigerator, watching

Harley chop some onion and ginger. When she was tired of watching, she tapped him on the shoulder,

announcing her presence.

“Harley, do you want to make soup?”

“Uh-huh,” Harley replied absentmindedly.

The boiling water in the soup pot on the stove was tumbling, and he turned around and put the

chopped onion and ginger in.

However, because too much water was added, Harley was accidentally scalded by hot water that

splashed out the pot.

He frowned suddenly, feeling as if his fingers were on fire. Seeing this, Sylvia hurried over to see the

damage done.

“Harley, are your hands okay? Let me see!” Sylvia’s words sounded like she was the one being

scalded.

Not wanting her pity, Harley threw Sylvia’s hands away impulsively. “My hand is fine. I’ll just wash it with

running water.”

After washing his hands, he attended to the vegetables, ignoring Sylvia next to him. Although Harley

has been talking coldly to her, Sylvia was beginning to suspect that something was unusual. She left

Harley in the kitchen and went back up the stairs to Carlee’s room and after a quick knock, walked in

and hurriedly closed the door.

“Did you know that Harley is back?” Sylvia said in a low voice.

The mother and son just fought last night, and Mrs. Carlee was still angry. “What if he doesn’t come to

his senses? I’m utterly disappointed in my son!”

“Harley is so weird today. As soon as he came back, he started cooking soup in the kitchen and made

some other things. It looked pretty bland.”

Hearing this, Carlee’s curiosity was also piqued. She stared at Sylvia without blinking and asked for

more details. Sylvia narrated everything, even telling her how much salt Harley put in the soup. Carlee

listened carefully, and suddenly slapped her thigh and shouted, “I get it! Harley is making a pregnancy

meal!”
