The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley)

Dominick paused midway, watching as Paisley entered the elevator with the nanny and Serena. Hearing Grayson's urgent shout, he gradually calmed down and quickly returned to Marissa's side.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Dominick asked softly.

Marissa shook her head, leaning into Dominick's embrace. "Dom, it's all my fault..."

"It has nothing to do with you. You were trying to help me." Dominick helped Marissa sit down. "Don't be so foolish in the future."

Marissa nodded obediently like a loyal puppy that had done something wrong. "Okay." She stroked Grayson's cheek. "I just feel sorry for Grayson. He longs for a mother so much."

Grayson pouted, his eyes red but stubbornly refusing to let the tears fall.

"Good boy, come here," Marissa said.

Grayson rushed into Marissa's arms, finally unable to hold back his tears.

"Don't cry. She doesn't want you, but I do. From now on, I'll be your mother," Marissa said, her eyes also turning red.

Dominick watched this scene, feeling a pang in his heart. He thought, 'Paisley, why are you so cruel?'

In the car on the way back, Serena lay in Maria's arms.

Although Maria had just managed to pull Serena away from Marissa in time, Serena was still somewhat frightened.

Maria gently patted Serena's back and said to Paisley, "Paisy, how much longer do we have to stay in Harrowfell?"

Maria didn't want to stay here for another day. Just thinking about the possibility of reencountering those annoying people made her feel uncomfortable and irritable.

Paisley understood what Maria meant. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "At least a few more months."

The TV series that Paisley was collaborating on with Gary hadn't started filming yet. Once it began, she would have to cooperate with the crew as per the contract.

Moreover, Paisley had several other projects in Harrowfell that were already contracted, and she couldn't back out at the last minute.

"Maria, if you don't like it here, you can take Rena back to Brightmoor first," Paisley suggested, thinking it might be better for Serena not to be around her.

"No," Serena immediately protested. "I don't want to leave Mommy. Maria, I don't want to leave Mommy." Serena clutched Maria's clothes, shaking her head vigorously.

Maria couldn't bear to see the little darling unhappy, nodding repeatedly. "Okay, we won't leave your mommy."

"Then you can't leave either. I can't be without you," Serena insisted, holding onto Maria's clothes tightly, her eyes sincere.

Maria was melted by Serena's expression. "Okay, I can't be without you either." Maria thought, 'How could I bear to leave her? She's been my precious since she was a baby.'

Serena smiled and nestled back into Maria's embrace.

As Maria and Serena chatted and laughed affectionately, Paisley fell into silence while driving.

Paisley recalled her collaboration with Gary, and her previously relaxed mood vanished in an instant.

So far, the female lead for the show was still set to be Brittany. During this time, Gary had used various connections and methods but had not been able to change this outcome.

Paisley tightened her grip on the steering wheel. This project was her labor of love, and she absolutely wouldn't allow someone like Brittany to ruin it.noveldrama

Paisley thought, 'If Gary can't resolve this issue soon, I'll have to handle it myself. I'm really curious about who is funding Brittany or the Sullivan family.'
