A Complicated Romance Chapter 128
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’
A Complicated Romance Chapter 130
Serena nodded at Christina, and it was considered a greeting to her. However, Christina put up a cold face and pretended not to see her by ignoring her.She only called her sister when there was nobody around, but they were like strangers in front of everybody.Everyone who attended the dinner party was famous and well known, whereas Christina was just an assistant. Thus, she was unfit to be here, and she was attacked quickly by other women who envied her beauty.“Isn’t she the divorcee who participated in the blind date show?” somebody recognized her.“Yeah, rumors say that her ex-husband chased her out. I remember very clearly. She’s living with a kid, and Mr. Henderson even supported her by being on the show.”“She rejected Mr. Henderson that time, and she chose to hold hands with a normal guy. Is she with Mr. Henderson now?”“She pretends to be lofty on the surface but seduces him secretly. Nowadays, women really fancied having a sugar daddy!”“Tsk tsk. A woman like that dar
A Complicated Romance Chapter 131
After staying there for a moment, Christina excused herself and went to the garden at the back.Her legs hurt because she had not worn high heels for a long time, and her sole burnt. She took off her high heels to relax her leg for a while when nobody was around.Michael’s eyes followed her once she went out.Christina heard a voice from behind while she was using her hands to massage her leg. “Do you think Matthew would throw up if he sees you scratching your leg?”She did not turn her head when she answered, “Why do you care if he’s going to throw up or not?”Christina’s cold tone provoked him. Therefore, he approached her and asked, “Who’s the man?”“What man?” Christina was bemused.“I’m asking you, who’s the father?” Michael got closer to her, and his eyes were filled with a dangerous vibe. “Are there too many men around you that you can’t even remember who’s the kid’s father?”Christina was shocked when she realized that Michael was asking about her son’s father, and she
A Complicated Romance Chapter 132
Michael sat on the bench disappointedly and lit up a cigarette. The sorrow in his heart did not ease off. Instead, it made him feel more miserable.After three years, he still remembered his words, and his heart did not change even a little. Michael hoped to reunite with her, but she was determined to get away from him. Not even a view of her back was left for him.For every moment that he could not have his eyes on her, it was torturing for him. He could not believe that she would forget him and all the unforgettable experiences they had before.Michael’s heart was stabbed brutally when he heard that boy called Christina, mommy, in the mall, and also when he saw her motherly-side and kindness with his own eyes.It was ironic that Michael expected her to return to him. Who knew that Christina had forgotten him, remarried a man, and even had a son.‘Who is the guy? Who is the man that she’s willing to have a son with?’ Michael felt terrible as his heart started to ache.He thought
A Complicated Romance Chapter 133
Christina was fixing her makeup when she heard the sound of high heels coming from behind, as well as the fragrance of Chanel perfume assailing her nostril.She had already known that it was Serena who entered the washroom without turning her head. Christina's lips curled up coldly. Serena cared about Michael, but unfortunately, it was futile no matter how much care she gave him. A leopard could not change its spots!Michael had an affair back then, so how could he listen to her obediently?Cheating was like a drug, and men loved it after they had a taste of it. They had done it once, and thereby they would do it again. Thus, she could not blame Serena for keeping track of him.Serena was occupied by a few ladies earlier when she was in the lobby. After she was done talking with them, she realized Christina was missing. She looked around and found that Michael was not by her side too, so she started to panic.She searched the lobby and saw Matthew chatting with his guests. Hence,
A Complicated Romance Chapter 134
Serena changed from her usual soft image as she held onto Christina’s arm and started messing around with her. Christina was disgusted by her actions, so she slapped her.Either she was slow to react, or because of some other reasons, Serena did not duck and took the slap right on her face. It made her fair face swell immediately.At that moment, a few ladies walked into the washroom and were shocked by the scene.Serena was the Mayor’s daughter, dignified and noble. As for Christina, she was just a nobody, so how dare she slapped her? Does she want to die?Serena covered her face and cried the instant she saw the ladies came in. They prattled about it, and the incident was quickly spread to the lobby.Michael came back from the garden after he had finished smoking. The corridor was crowded, but he could see Christina being surrounded in the middle with just a glance.He panicked and dashed forward. Serena looked at Michael as if she had met her savior. She was tearing and threw
A Complicated Romance Chapter 135
Michael’s eyes were dark when he asked Christina, “Why did you slap her?”She was not the Christina that she used to be. She was not dumb, and eventually, she had already known about Serena’s purpose. Hence, how could Christina let her do as she pleased?Christina smiled calmly and answered, “You want to know what’s the reason?”Michael nodded. “Yes. I want to know why.”“I want to know what’s the reason too!” Matthew came out of nowhere. He stood beside Christina and held her hand. “Don't be afraid. I’m here!”Matthew was just like a hen with one chick.“Alright then. If everybody wants to know why. I’ll tell everybody thoroughly what's the reason I slapped her. However, it’s quite lengthy and complicated, so it might take some time.”Serena was shocked that she even forgot to cry.Why did Christina not act as she had predicted? Christina even said that it would be lengthy and complicated, so was she going to expose her for having a baby with Michael?Serena’s self-respect wo

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. However, the woman did not learn from past mistakes and once again partnered up with Serena to plot against Christina.Matthew went along with their plan. He even found someone to set this up to lure them into the trap.Christina’s due date was approaching after Rachel and Serena were taken care of. Michael began making preparations for Travis’ transplant operation.He hired the best hematologist and gynecologist before arranging for both Christina and Travis’ operation to take place in the same hospital.The delivery went smoothly. Christina gave birth to a baby girl, and Heather was over the moon.Everything had gone well, and it was about time to start on Travis’ operation. Christina was accompanied by Matthew and Rachel whereas Heather stayed close by the baby’s side. Michael comforted Chri

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. Her head was covered with a black cloth as they forcefully pushed her into the van.Serena and Rachel were already at the agreed-upon location when Scarface instructed Christina to step out of the vehicle. The latter’s belly was round, and both of her hands were

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. He ordered his men to drag her into the private room and tortured her the entire night.She resisted in the beginning. However, without anyone to depend on, she had no choice but to give into Scarface’s tyrannical abuse.Several times later, he found himself attracted to her. Every night, he would ask for her instead of other women.Serena, who could not escape from him, gave in eventually. She even ended up becoming his lover.By doing so, she found someone t

“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
