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

Heather glared at Christina before she made her way to the restaurant exit as well, chasing after her son.Christina’s day was totally ruined, so she held Travis in her arms and made her way home. Travis was so frightened by the scene earlier that his voice trembled. “That old granny was so mean! She bullied you, Mommy!”Christina held Travis closer to her. “Travis, let’s not play with Uncle Michael again okay? Otherwise, that bad granny will keep bullying us.”“Yes, I’ll do whatever Mommy says. I won’t play with Uncle Michael again next time.”Michael did not heed Heather at all. Instead, he went back into his car and drove home all by himself, with Heather’s car trailing closely behind. Eventually, both of their cars arrived home and they passed through the main gate one after another. Heather tossed her purse on the sofa and called out, “Michael, I need to have a word with you!”“Fine!” Micheal turned back around and sat down on the sofa as he stared at Heather coldly. His

Her son was clearly siding with Christina. At this point, she was certain that he returned home with only one purpose in mind — to get on her nerves!“Michael, I can’t believe you’re going against me for Christina. What kind of drug has that witch lady been feeding you? You don’t even acknowledge your own mother anymore! Look, if it weren’t for her disobedience back then, I wouldn’t have treated her like how I did now.”“Great, now you’re pushing away the responsibilities. Do you really think I’m deaf or blind? You looked down on her from the very beginning. You savored every single opportunity to belittle and humiliate her. The more she persevered, the worse you became. She is also a woman like you, so why do you have to be so cruel to her?”“Me? Cruel to her? She wasn’t able to bear a child, and I’ve looked all around for any potential cure or specialist that may help her, spending so much of my own time and energy on this matter. But what did I get in return? Not only did she not

John was attending an event today and was accompanied by Sophia, leaving Serena alone at home. Serena thought that the house was too desolate and it made her feel uneasy.Just as she was about to ask Wendy out to shop together, she received a call from a servant of the Larson family. “Miss Garcia, it’s me.” A bad feeling came over Serena’s heart. “What happened? Is something wrong?”“President Larson and Madam just had a huge argument at home.”“Over what?”“President Larson already knew about Christina’s childbirth…” The servant described the matter briefly while Serena became more flustered as she listened to it. After hanging up the phone, Serena roamed around the house, not knowing what to do. She could not be bothered about anything else at the moment. She quickly gave Sophia a call, but the latter hung up without answering the phone. As she could not sit still, she picked up her bag and went out to find Sophia. Right then, she saw a car driving into the compound from

“Heather probably won’t want to help raise the kid. She’ll definitely think of ways to stop it, so we only have to add fuel to the fire.”“What ideas can she think of? Michael doesn’t care about her life or death now, so why would he listen to her?”“That’s because he knows Heather won’t really seek death. This method can only be used once. A foolish person will only fall for the trick if it’s used multiple times,” Sophia sneered, “Since she can’t persuade her son, Heather will probably move on to Christina. By that time, we’ll just add fuel to the flames.”At night when Christina went out to throw the trash, the sky was already enveloped in darkness. It was then when she saw a black luxury car parked downstairs. Matthew had already left, so who else would be waiting downstairs? She walked over and shouted, “Matthew?”Michael never expected that Christina would appear at this time. After arguing with Heather, he no longer wanted to stay home. As he drove around, he somehow ended

Christina interrupted him, saying, “Don’t talk about the past. I’ve already forgotten about it.” What a joke. He became cold and indifferent after a love affair and only explained things to her when he remembered what happened so many years after. Did he think his words could make up for the misery she had suffered over the years? Whatever that was done could not be undone. It was useless to quibble about something that happened in the past. “Mr. Larson, we’ve been divorced for more than three years. We no longer have anything to do with each other. There’s no need for you to bring up the past and explain to me. Besides, I don’t want to hear it.”“Christina, I know you hate me and I hate myself too!” Michael’s voice sounded sorrowful. “If I knew you’d make this decision, I would’ve never let you go in the first place…”Christina interrupted him again, saying, “If you’re here to ask for my forgiveness, then please go home. I won’t accept your apology and I won’t forgive you eith

Since Christina was leading a hard life, then she could give her some money. If money could not solve the problem, then she could only use ruthless methods. There were ways to deal with a down-and-out woman with no power and influence. How unfortunate it was for Christina to see Heather in the morning! Christina walked around Heather as if she had seen a ghost. Like a ghost hanging on to Christina, Heather caught up with her. “Christina, I want to talk to you.” Christina wanted to ignore her but could not get away, so she followed her to the cafe next to them. Heather regained her usual elegance as though she had forgotten that tea splashing incident from that day. “Christina, I know you’ve been having a hard time these few years. As a woman, I sympathize with your situation, so I’ve decided to give you a sum of money.” She tried her best to speak softer, but it turned into ridicule and insult in Christina’s ears. Christina felt that the woman’s words sounded particularly har
A Complicated Romance Chapter 165
Heather left Christina’s neighborhood in a rage. Not knowing who to talk to, she went to find Doctor Harris. “Dang this witch. She used to make me angry every day previously and now she’s clinging to my son even after their divorce. I’m so angry!” “Drink some water to cool down first.” Doctor Harris poured a glass of water for Heather. Heather was still enraged. “I offered her money and she doesn’t want it. She probably wants to remarry Michael. Michael’s also blinded by love, still treating a married woman who has a child as a piece of treasure. This makes me so mad.” “Christina was always criticized by you for not being able to conceive. Now that she has given birth to a child, she probably came back to retaliate against you. She’s just using Michael’s feelings for her as a way to go against you on purpose. You must be careful. Don’t let her ruin you and your son’s relationship.” “Yes! This woman probably doesn’t have good intentions. I won’t allow her conspiracy to succeed

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.
