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

It would definitely be impossible to persuade Serena. After thinking for a while, Michael thought of Matthew and suddenly had an idea.Within a week, all the large and small media corporations in Jade City started reporting about Michael becoming a sugar daddy to the belle of the ball from Jade City University. The news reports were all well-presented with photos of their rendezvous taken in secret. The media tracked them down and dug up everything about Michael being a sugar daddy. It turned out that Michael had already begun a secret affair with the belle of the ball, Suzy, as early as two years ago. The media found that Michael had brought Suzy to the hotel next to Jade City University on the night of the school’s anniversary dinner and only came out of the hotel the next morning. Later, another media company unveiled that Michael had secretly bought a high-end villa for Suzy. He was keeping his mistress in a splendid abode situated in a neighborhood with strict security meas

Christina glanced at Matthew. “You should chase after her if you like her! With your flirting methods as President Henderson, you could get your way with these beauties within minutes!” “Those ladies might be beautiful, but they aren’t my cup of tea. Now, I only like girls like you, Christina,” Matthew declared as he grinned at her. Christina ignored him. Matthew then talked to himself, “Michael is still bringing Suzy out in the teeth of the storm, which means that he has already confirmed their relationship. Is he ready to break up with Serena?” “How would I know?” Christina was in a bad mood. “Isn’t he afraid of offending John by acting like this? After all, John wouldn’t sit idly by since it involves Serena’s reputation.” Christina laughed. “The Larsons don’t rely on John for their prosperous business. Why would he be afraid?” “You’re not entirely wrong, but the weak wouldn’t fight the strong since ancient times. If John places him in a difficult position, then he’ll s

Christina did not understand why Michael would appear by her side even though he had a new girlfriend as well as a fiancée. As she thought of that, she grabbed some food for Matthew. “Don’t get too absorbed in talking. Eat some food too.” Matthew was extremely delighted. He immediately gobbled down the food that Christina had given him. He put on a satisfied expression and said, “Delicious. This is the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten in my life!” There was a glint of gloominess in Michael’s eyes. Another person joined in the fun, saying, “Mr. Henderson, you’ve finally decided to repent. How about you have a toast with Mrs. Henderson?” “Chug! Chug!” The others echoed his opinion. They quickly poured wine into two glasses. “Hurry up, fill up the glass with wine for Mr. and Mrs. Henderson!” Matthew raised his wine glass happily as the two glasses were placed in front of him. “Christina, we can’t disappoint everyone now that they’re pumped up. Have a drink.” Michael could n

Christina did not care even though she had already poured at least half a bottle of white wine into the goblet. After filling the goblet with wine, she passed it to Michael. Michael looked at her with a straight face and said, “Thank you, Miss Williams.” After he finished his sentence, he chugged the goblet of white wine. Suzy could not stop him in time even if she wanted to. Matthew had also realized that Christina was being too unusual today. He thought that Christina was standing up for Serena. Then, he remembered that Christina used to hit Serena previously, so she should despise the Garcias. Why would she stand up for Serena? Usually, Christina would not randomly target others and neither was she the type of person to cause a commotion while she was drinking either. What happened to her today? When she saw Michael sitting down on the chair after chugging the whole glass, Christina smiled. “Matthew, it’s your turn!” She then grabbed another goblet and poured wine into it

“It’s alright, I’m feeling happy today!” Matthew grabbed Christina’s hand as he looked at her tenderly. “Christina, today is the happiest day of my life!” “That’s right. It’s rare for Mr. Henderson to be this happy today, so Mrs. Henderson, you shouldn’t be stopping him!” “You’ve had too much to drink already. You can’t drink anymore. Otherwise, it’ll be unhealthy for your body.” Christina did not allow Matthew to continue drinking. Back then, Michael had injured his stomach from drinking too much. As such, his stomach continued to hurt even after so many years had passed. “As expected, Mrs. Henderson knows best how to take care of her husband. Mrs. Henderson, you were so fierce when you were forcing President Larson to drink more alcohol just now. Your reactions are completely different!” Michael appeared at the door with Suzy’s help. He saw Christina holding Matthew’s hand as she tried to stop him from drinking any more alcohol. When he saw such a scene, Michael’s face got ev

Ariel shrugged. “I almost forgot that you have to take care of your child at home. I’m fine now, so you should go back and accompany your son. Remember to bring me breakfast tomorrow morning.” Christina promised to do so. On the second day, Christina made a bowl of cereal for Ariel. She specially brought it to the hospital so that Ariel could enjoy breakfast. Ariel furrowed her eyebrows. “I thought that you’d buy some delicacies for me. In the end, it’s just cereal!” Christina smiled. “I’ll take you to enjoy those delicacies after you’ve recovered. Don’t start complaining now and eat your cereal.” “Alright, I’ll eat it. Remember what you’ve said. You owe me a feast, so you must pay your debt!” “Seriously? Once you’ve recovered, I’ll treat you to a meal every day.” “You’re the one who said that. You can’t go back on your word.” Christina’s phone started to ring while the two of them were chatting. “Miss Williams, this is Suzy. I have something to tell you.” “Sorry, I’m n

“Suzy!” A cold voice could be heard from the door. Michael was standing there unsteadily as he used his hand to hold onto the door frame. “Why did you come out? The doctor said that you shouldn’t be moving about.” Suzy quickly hurried over to help Michael with a worried expression on her face. Michael looked at Christina. “I apologize if Suzy has said anything that might have sounded unpleasant to your ears earlier. Please don’t take her words to heart.” Christina felt a little sad when she saw him still doting on his new lover. “There’s no need for apologies. President Larson, please watch over your girlfriend. Tell her to stop bothering others as it’s impolite.” “Alright.” The light in Michael’s eyes faded as Christina walked toward the door. After Christina left, Michael’s gaze became fierce. “Why did you take it upon yourself to look for her?” “I was worried for you. I didn’t want her to misunderstand you.” Suzy explained. Michael furrowed his eyebrows. He then walked

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.
