A Complicated Romance Chapter 122
Sean shook his head. “You’ve never changed that bad habit of yours. You still take revenge on others, just like the old days.”Matthew glared at him. “Can you blame me? It’s Michael Larson’s fault for pissing me off! It’s not like I can ignore him if he keeps ruining my plans!”“What I mean is don’t be such an impulsive person. Do you want to be a strong opponent or an easy one?” Sean rebutted.“I’m forced to do this, okay? I can’t let things go on like this!” Matthew’s face turned sour. “Sean, can you tell your grandma that I have no feelings toward Rachel Young at all?”“Do you know how sad Rachel will be if she hears this? You have to be responsible for what you did to her.” Sean joked.“What the f*ck did I do to her? Till today, I’ve never laid a single finger on her. She’s the one following me wherever I go, okay?” Matthew found himself exploding in frustration when Sean brought up this topic. “Sean, Rachel and I grew up together, okay? We were practically stark naked next to

Michael’s phone rang in the evening. An unknown number was plastered across the display screen. “Hi, is this President Larson?”“Who’s this?” Michael asked out of curiosity.“I’m Wendy Cohen, Serena Garcia’s friend. Serena has been drinking today and keeps calling out for your name. Can you pick her up?”This somehow took Michael by shock. Serena was a gentle and elegant lady who had always maintained her image. It was rare that she would end up drunk. Michael gave a soft hum as a sign of agreement.On the other hand, Wendy gave an ‘OK’ sign to Serena. Receiving assurance from Michael, she felt relieved as the nervousness slipped away. Sitting on the sofa, Serena started to chug glasses and glasses of alcohol, not stopping for even a second to breathe as she swept the mugs off the table in front of her.“Drink up, Serena! I hope that you get the man tonight.”After she had chugged down a few mugs, Serena could feel the alcohol take its effect as her mind started to spin around he

Serena was forced to suffer in silence all because of that b*tch, Wendy, saying that she was sure they were going to have a great night together. However, it turned out to be a bad idea.John and Sophia reached the hospital after the nurse was done cleaning her room. He frowned when he smelled the alcohol, and his expression was terrible as well.“This is how you educate our daughter?” He turned around and scolded Sophia, “A lady getting drunk at the pub... See what she has become now!”John was disappointed by her daughter. Michael never really fancied her from the beginning, and because of this incident, she had spoiled their family’s reputation.Sophia hung her head low and kept quiet when she got scolded. She secretly hated Serena for being so useless. How could she make such a silly mistake at such crucial timing? What a troublemaker!Michael would despise her even more after this incident. However, Michael did not think much about it. After all, it was nothing personal to

“Brother, Grandma says that she regrets ignoring your feelings and letting you suffer alone for so many years. It's only because she wants to train you to become our family’s successor. Grandma also says that she won’t care and interfere with your marriage, even if you want to be with Christina.”Sean was stunned because he did not know that his grandma would say something like this. Rachel started tearing on the other end of the call. However, she continued, “Brother, you need to come back quickly. If you drag on… I’m afraid it’d be too late!”“Take care of Grandma first. I’m going to get a plane ticket now!”After she hung up the phone, Rachel made a funny face to Old Madam Young who was sitting on the couch. “Done. He’ll be back by tomorrow morning!”Old Madam Young gave her a thumbs up and praised her. “You sneaky little girl. You’re getting better at acting.”“I can’t compete with you when it comes to acting!” Rachel walked toward the couch and sat down. “Grandma, in case he

Travis got a little disappointed, but he comforted Christina. “Mommy, I don’t want daddy. I want to be with you, Uncle Francis, and Uncle Sean!”“Good boy.” Christina tightly hugged her son’s squishy body.“Mommy, what does daddy look like? Is he handsome?” Travis questioned her again.She replied, “He’s very handsome!”“Just like Uncle Sean?”“Yes, just like Uncle Sean!”“I knew that!” Travis threw himself into Christina’s arms, and he said with a smile on his face, “Mom, can I ask for something?”“Yes?”“I want Uncle Sean to be my daddy!”For a moment, Christina did not know how to answer him, but Travis was waiting for her answer. “Mom!”“Mommy will find a good daddy for you if you want a father, but it can’t be Sean.”“I want him to be my daddy, though!”Kids only knew who was good to them. Their thinking was simple, and it was not as complicated as adults.Christina did not say anything. Sean was the successor of the Young family, and she was just a lowly nobody. As i

Michael lost his mind when he heard Travis called Christina, mom. He subconsciously looked at his assistant, who was sitting beside him, and all he saw was Fred shockingly looking back at him too.Christina’s voice was gentle and full of motherly love. It was the kind of love that came from her heart, and it could not be disguised.Michael looked blankly at Travis as if his heart was filled with all kinds of emotions. ‘Why is he Christina’s son? Did she adopt an orphan?’Travis held his hands up to let Christina clean them when he had finished eating. After that, they both held hands and walked out, but suddenly, a man dashed out from beside.Michael blocked them halfway through and stared at Travis. “Whose son is this?”Christina yelled and walked out the door, “He’s mine!”Michael still stood there and did not move a muscle even after she had gone far away. He clearly saw that the kid’s features were similar to hers. Hence, there was no doubt that Travis was her son!His heart

Christina carried Travis tightly in her arms as she rushed home only to realize that Matthew had parked his car downstairs.Matthew felt embarrassed to meet her after his confession was ruined by Michael the other day. Also, she took a few days off to stroll about in Jade City with Sean.Christina was the first woman to excite and reject him. Thus, Matthew had a love-hate relationship with her and was addicted to her.He could not put up with it after he had not seen her for several days. Hence, he simply made himself an excuse. ‘I’m a man, and I should make the first move, not wait for a woman to take the initiative to get closer to me.’After he had thought that way, he showed up flamboyantly downstairs in Christina's apartment.He dared not go up to her room, although he had waited for three hours but still did not see her. He was about to leave when he saw Christina walking toward him with a boy in her arms.He questioned her impatiently, “Where have you been?”“We went to g

Christina retorted. “I’m on leave. You have approved it!”“I don’t see any proof! I’m not in a good mood, so get back to work immediately!”“Now?” Christina looked at him strangely and thought. ‘Is he out of his mind again?’“Yes. Right now!” Matthew ordered her. “There’s an entrepreneurs’ dinner party tonight, and I don’t have a partner. You’ll accompany me!”“No! I don’t want to!” She might see Michael there, so she shook her head instantly.“I’ll cut half of your monthly salary if you don’t want to!” Matthew threatened her.“Then, are you going to pay me more if I agree to go?” Christina asked.“Woman, why are you always thinking of money?”“If you want me to go with you, then pay me. I’m your assistant, not your partner!”“You…” Matthew pointed at her for a moment. “Fine, fine. Here’s your money, gold digger! Let’s go!”Christina initially wanted to scare him off, but she never thought that he would readily accept her. Hence, she started to struggle for an excuse. “I don’

In fact, Matthew was the one who planned this entire thing. He had been keeping a close eye on Rachel since she returned.He could let bygones be bygones if she was willing to settle down.

Besides, even if the plan failed, intentionally causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was not considered homicide by the country’s criminal law. The punishment was less serious as the behavior would be categorized as an assault occasioning bodily harm.Assault and criminal homicide were two completely different crimes.Rachel agreed to the suggestion. Scarface was indeed a ruthless man. He came up with this vicious revenge that would put Christina in pain forever.Upon agreeing on the details of the plan, Scarface and his friends from the streets proceeded to kidnap Christina. Rachel and Serena were told to sit tight and wait for the good news.Scarface had a well-thought-out plan and got his hands on Christina before long.

Serena lost everything. She had no choice but to work as a bargirl to survive.Scarface was the person in charge of the bar she worked at. The ruthless man had pretty much slept with every woman who worked at his place. Naturally, Serena could not escape from that fate either.Serena was different from other bargirls. She came from a prestigious family and was highly educated. Even in dire straits, she still maintained a certain grace that made her stand out from the crowd.Scarface spotted her on her first day at the bar.

“Just a little while ago.” Sean came closer. “Christina, we need to talk.”She nodded and followed him to the garden. He helped her to get comfortable on the bench. “Do you believe in fate?”She shook her head, unsure where this was leading. “I didn’t either as I’m a firm believer that hard work always pays off. But now I do.”He looked her in the eye. “I’ve been lost and struggled a lot since that incident, unsure how to face you. After considering this seriously for the past few days, I’ve finally mustered enough courage to meet you again.”A sigh escaped her lips. “Sorry, Sean. It’s all my fault.”“No! It has nothing to do with you, Christina. It’s my fault that my love is not strong enough. I discovered that Suzy is really great after spending the past few months with her. She’s just like you. She’s gentle, kind, pure, and adorable. I realized I’ve fallen in love with her.”This was not what he really thought.He loved Christina since the beginning of time and believed he

“That’s old history. We think Michael is actually pretty good.”“We? Who do you mean?” Christina teased.Ariel and Matthew had been spending a lot of time together lately. Christina went through that herself and understood the passion in her friend’s eyes. This silly girl was actually in love. She could not be happier for her.“Who else? Matthew, of course!” Ariel glared at Christina.“I say whatever’s on my mind, unlike you, who always keep everything to yourself and get stuck in dilemmas. Every good opportunity slips past you because of your indecisiveness!” “How can I not be? I promised to marry him but I’m now trying to convince him to marry someone else. Is this really the best thing for him? Will he be happy?”Ariel questioned after a brief silence, “Christina, let me ask you this. Who do you care for more? Michael or Sean?”Christina asked herself the same question too. She naturally cared more about Michael in the past, but she also started to develop a strong feeling f

The following morning, Serena hurried to the police station to file a report.The police treated this with high importance and warned her to be careful of Darren Cain as he was a vicious gang member who had served over a decade in prison.She became more frightened after hearing that. Immediately, she moved out of that house and rented a place somewhere quiet. As she was terrified, she stayed indoors for the next few days.Much of Christina’s stress was relieved without having to deal with Serena’s pestering.“Christina, John was at the last stage of cancer. It was lucky enough that he lasted until he did. This is his fate, so try not to get too upset.” Francis comforted the dispirited woman. It did not make any difference even though he was not the real Francis. He had long adapted to the identity after assuming it for so many years. Most importantly, Christina was still willing to treat him like a real uncle even after finding out the truth.“Don’t worry, Uncle, I’m fine.”

The harassment continued after the funeral. Serena went around spreading accusations and threatened Christina to give her money. Otherwise, she would report John to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for private corruption.If reported, the antique art collection would be seized and no one could get it!Christina became more frustrated after hearing that.She never expected John’s leniency toward Serena would cause her such a big problem. Matthew was infuriated by Serena’s unreasonable behavior. He suggested they could shut the woman up by teaching her a lesson. Sean shook his head. “That’s not going to solve the problem. Serena must’ve come prepared if she dares to stir up trouble. This is a lawful society. We can’t do as we wish.”“Are we actually going to pay her off then?” Ariel asked, “I think giving her money isn’t going to put an end to this. She’s certainly going to keep threatening for more!”Michael scoffed. “Why should we give her money? She can go

“I will, Dad, don’t worry. I’ll listen to Sister,” Suzy replied.“Christina.” John grabbed Christina’s hand in his own. “My greatest regret in this life is failing to take good care of you and your mother. I’m going to meet your mother soon. I hope she’ll forgive me!”Tears rolled down Christina’s cheeks. Men would speak kindly in the presence of death. She was unsure if Molly would forgive him, but she had long forgiven her father.He strained to pull Suzy and Christina’s hands closer together as he looked at them with pleading eyes. “The both of you must live peacefully together. Suzy, listen to your sister, and Christina, you must take good care of her on my behalf.”Christina looked at Suzy before nodding quietly. Then, John shifted his glance to Michael.“I’ve done many wrongs in this life. I betrayed my wife and disappointed my daughter. I hope you’ll do better than me. I’ll hand over Christina to you now. I’ll come back to haunt you as a stubborn ghost if you dare to wr

Suzy felt guilt-ridden and knew she was not in the position to demand anything from Christina. However, her mother had gone mad. She did not wish to see Christina continuing the fight with her mother.At a loss for what to do, she cried her heart out while in Christina’s arms.Sean felt a heavy feeling in his chest. He knew Christina too well after all the years they spent together. She was a soft-hearted person behind her stubborn facade. Seeing others in sorrow was her greatest weakness.There was no doubt she would choose to forgive Suzy and accept her as her sister.If that was the case, then the marriage between them was destined to fail. Christina would reject him for the sake of the child in her sister’s belly.At this moment, he was thinking of how everything was falling apart at this moment even after he had consistently pursued her all these years. He stood there in a daze for a long time before finally heaving a sigh.Perhaps this was their destiny. Suzy cried for a
