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

“Michael Larson’s father had an affair?”“No, Heather Sunderland’s father did. On top of that, she had been abused as a child and went through a lot because of that.” Due to his identity, Matthew Henderson had managed to obtain the inside scoop about Heather’s background. “What she went through as a child was tough, but it was her husband’s death that really messed her up. Eventually, her personality took a turn for the worst as she became radical. If Serena Garcia’s true identity is revealed, Heather will never let her off the hook.”No stranger to Heather’s radicality and cruelty, Christina Williams suddenly found herself looking forward to Michael and Serena’s wedding. What would Heather do if she realized that her own son had married another home wrecker’s daughter? It would be such a nice change of event.As Michael helped Serena get into the car, Serena looked back at him with tears on her face. “You probably know that I faked my dizziness back there, right? I only did that be

John Garcia creased his forehead. “We can’t just let Christina Williams continue to misunderstand you that way.”“Serena had already been misunderstood for three years. What more now? Don’t worry about us, John, it’s nothing. You shouldn’t raise another issue with Christina now that she has finally let her guard down against you.”Persuaded, John sighed. Seeing that he had stopped insisting, Serena Garcia and Sophia Kendrick sighed in relief.Sophia put down her act as soon as she got to the room and glared at her daughter in rage. “I told you to keep away from that b*tch, Serena, especially before your marriage to Michael Larson. Why didn’t you listen to me?”“Mom, I...”“I won’t be able to help you anymore if you ever act so impulsive again!” Worried that things would not end up the way she wanted to, Sophia felt upset as she sulked in annoyance.“I lost it today when I saw Michael and Christina kiss, mom. It turns out that he had always loved her all this time!”“You should a
A Complicated Romance Chapter 138
The main reason when Michael Larson made Ariel Grande lose her job was to get Christina Larson’s attention. However, she did the exact opposite and he had only seen her once before she completely disappeared from his life again. As she ghosted him, Michael had no choice but to let Ariel go back to work.As if she knew Michael’s plans, Christina would rather be humiliated than fall for his tricks. Just like that, Michael’s plans had never succeeded as the woman never appeared before him again.From the encounter at the restaurant, the way Christina looked at his mother was full of resentment and hate. Her attitude towards his mother was no different than it had been three years ago, and it was not surprising that his mother hated her too. After all, no one would like another who had been nothing but rude to themselves.On the other hand, this proved that Christina did not care about his marriage at all. Perhaps she had never even loved him.That was why she had kept mum when he was

Things would be so good if the boy had been Michael Larson and Christina William’s son.After playing by himself for a while, Travis Larson felt bored as he ran over to Francis William’s side. Hugging the man’s leg, Travis said, “Can we go find mommy, grand uncle?”Francis squatted down in front of the child. “Your mommy’s still at work. Be good, Travis, and just play with me here.”Travis pouted. “But I want mommy. Mommy said that she wants to send me to kindergarten. Can I not go?” “Kids like you need to go to kindergarten, Travis. Moreover, you’ll meet a lot of friends there too,” Francis replied.Upon saying so, Francis lifted his head, only to see Michael standing in a distance. As his face darkened, he carried Travis and left.Michael stood rooted to the ground after listening to the conversation between Travis and Francis. If Travis were to attend kindergarten soon, he should be around the age of three.It had been three years and a half since he had split from Christina

The man’s name was Finn Ryder. He was Christina William’s childhood friend and they both had attended the same high school. Finn had always had a crush on Christina, but her beauty meant that she was constantly swarmed by a pool of suitors. Insecure about himself, Finn decided to keep his feelings to himself.After high school, Finn got into a university abroad and had a work permit as soon as he graduated. Christina had gotten married by then, and so did he.

Michael immediately instructed his assistant to investigate Christina’s past once he got back to the company, and by the next day, his assistant had presented him a detailed report. It turned out that Christina was telling the truth. Finn died because he was trying to save the boys, and in turn, he was praised by the local authorities back then for his actions.Christina had transferred Travis’s account out of the Ryders family account after Finn was dead.Michael did not know how to feel as his emotions danced around deep the depths of his heart. He had never imagined that his despicable measures to make Christina stay would cause her to marry another man and eventually gave birth to his son. All he had ever wanted was for Christina to return to his side. He wanted to grow old together with her, but why did things turn out this way?Michael had fallen head over heels with her the moment he laid his eyes on her.

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.

“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

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
