Heather sat down with a long face. “Let me ask you something. Is it really true that Christina can’t get pregnant?”Having received Sophia’s call earlier, Doctor Harris had learned about Christina’s ability to get pregnant. Otherwise, she would not have known how to deal with Heather’s question. Doctor Harris walked over to Heather’s side and sat beside her. “What’s the matter actually?” “Christina has given birth!” Heather asked face-to-face, “You told me earlier that Christina could never give birth, but how did she manage to do so?”“She has given birth?” A look of astonishment crossed Doctor Harris’s face. “This is impossible! How can she give birth when she couldn’t even ovulate?”“Just because I trusted what you said, I forced my son to divorce her. But now she has given birth to a child. It’s all your fault!”“This is strange, too strange! Having treated many infertile patients over the years, I can’t believe that there’s a way to restore fertility! Back then, I only mad

Sophia was shocked to receive a call from Doctor Harris. “Heather has learned about it? That was fast.”“Yeah. She came asking why I lied to her, and I pulled the wool over her eyes. Having said that, I’m sure it’s not easy to deceive Michael as compared to Heather. You need to come up with a plan to get Micheal and Serena engaged soon.”“I know. I’ve been trying to come up with a solution over the past few days.” Sophia hung up the phone and then said to Serena, “Go and buy some tonics. Bring them to visit Heather and try to find out about the matter too.”Heather saw Serena on the couch chatting with her servant the moment she arrived home. As soon as Serena caught sight of Heather, she stood up. “Mrs. Larson, I’ve been busy looking at wedding dresses over the past few days, so I didn’t come and visit you. I hope you don’t mind?”The servant took out Serena’s buys and said, “Miss Serena has bought you a lot of food.” Seeing Serena made Heather feel a little better. “Of course I

Serena’s kindness was what Heather liked most about her. Serena was the sort of obedient and filial daughter-in-law that Heather was looking for.“Don’t be afraid, Serena. Even if Michael has learned about this, he won’t be able to do anything. I’m the head of the family. He won’t dare to speak against my decision! And I won’t allow that uncultured woman to enter our family anymore!”Serena revealed an appreciative look. “I can feel your kindness. I’ll respect and serve you the best I can!”As they were speaking, the servant came home from the market. Heather finally ended the subject and took her phone. “I’m going to call Michael to come back for dinner today.” She could reach Michael very quickly and his faint voice was heard. “Mom, what’s the matter?”“Hey. Can’t I give you a call when everything is fine?” Heather replied in a dismaying manner.“I’m busy!” answered Michael.“No matter how busy you are, you need to take care of your health. I’ve asked our chef to prepare your

Serena handed a stack of banknotes to the servant. “Thank you for your help.”Apart from Heather and Serena, Michael felt terrible as well. He had been feeling anxious ever since he learned that Christina had given birth to another man’s child after their divorce. At first, Micheal was under the impression that Christina had participated in the matchmaking show through a force of circumstances to fill the show’s vacancy. However, by the look of things now, it seemed like she really did intend to get her child a father through the show, which explained why she was successfully matched with Bill. In fact, Christina was just humiliating herself!Michael was gnawed by feelings of guilt and regret. He felt it was his fault that Christina had to deal with the current situation, and it made him think that he was supposed to do something to compensate her. Worrying over this matter not only made it hard for him to fall asleep at night, but he was not able to concentrate at work as wel

The next day, Michael left his house and arrived at Christina’s neighborhood punctually to see Travis kicking a ball on the field downstairs.The sight melted Michael’s heart, and his eyes turned gentle. He had never had a soft spot for kids, but somehow he was particularly fond of Travis. It was probably because he loved Christina very much, so he accepted and took to her son as well.However, Travis was unaware that he was being watched. He kicked the ball and quickly went after it. At that moment, a middle-aged man passed by the side of the field along with his son, who was a few years older than Travis. The boy picked up the ball first.Seeing that someone was holding his ball, Travis went to the boy and asked for it back. “This is my ball. Please return it to me.” “It’s mine since I picked it up. Why should I return it to you?” The older kid was very rude, but the man did not bother to stop his son since his son was not at a disadvantage. The middle-aged man was only focuse

“Still, you can’t just pick a fight with people like that, alright? If he likes your ball, you should let him play it with you.”“He wasn’t trying to play with me. He was trying to snatch my ball away. If I had lost it, you’d need to buy me a new one again, and I don’t want to waste any money or trouble you, Mommy.”Christina’s heart wrenched a little and she felt that it was all her fault. She had exposed Travis to the harsh reality of her family burden at such a young age. She should stop mentioning any monetary affairs in front of him next time. “Mommy has money, dear Travis. Mommy is working every day now, and I’m able to make lots of money! Mommy will buy you whichever toy that you like!”Travis gave it a thought. “Mommy, I don’t want any more toys. “I want to go to the amusement park one more time.”“Right, Mommy shall bring you there tomorrow!” Christina agreed almost instantaneously. However, Christina did not know why Matthew had been called back to the Henderson famil

At this time of the day, most people were already back home having lunch. The streets were empty, and the public bus had yet shown up. “Get in my car. I’ll send you guys home!” Michael pulled over in front of Christina, but she showed no interest. “The weather is so hot out here. What if Travis gets a heat stroke?” Michael said as he opened his door and walked down from the car.Looking at the beads of sweat forming on Travis’s forehead, Christina finally gave way and the both of them got into Michael’s car.Michael was so delighted that he made sure to drive steadily. “Travis, are you hungry?”“Yes, I am!”“Let Uncle Michael bring you somewhere nice to eat, okay?”Travis could do little to resist the lucrative offer. He was about to say yes but as he swept a glance at the look on his mother’s face, he refrained himself and said, “It’s okay, Uncle Michael. Thanks for your offer.”Michael was not about to give up just yet. “But think about the yummy fruit popsicles and the tas

Heather was eating at the same restaurant with a few of her companions, of which one of them alerted her, “Hey, isn’t that your son? Why is there a child with him?”Heather’s heart sank, and when she turned around to have a look, it was indeed her son, Michael eating with that homewrecker Christina. He was even helping that little brat with the food.It appeared that her son had long known about Christina’s situation. No wonder he acted strangely of late. Even his attitude towards her had changed. Heather grew a little anxious. If her son had long known about this, why had he not said anything about it? What was in his mind really?Heather swapped seats with one of her companions and began to observe the trio whilst she had her own meal. However, anger started to build up in her when she noticed how her son kept trying to win over the mother and child. She had thought about storming out of the restaurant, but she could not bear the humiliation that was unfolding right in front o

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

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
