A Complicated Romance Chapter 168
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

Heather rushed to the hospital when she heard that her son had been admitted. She heard someone talking inside the room before she even pushed the door open.Her expression hardened. Then, she turned and went toward the doctor’s office.It seemed that her son and Suzy were putting on an act just for Christina alone. If that was the case, she had to teach Christina a lesson. The hatred in her heart was growing unbearable.Heather asked about her son’s condition and the doctor told her that his stomach bled due to excessive consumption of alcohol. He was doing fine at the moment, but he would need to look out for his stomach in the long term for a full recovery. Heather did not go to his ward. Instead, she left the doctor’s office and headed out of the hospital.Christina walked out of the coffee shop and was ready to go to Ariel’s ward. Her mind was plagued with Suzy’s accusations and the way Michael defended Suzy. She could not lie and say she was not upset by that. Her heart t

Christina turned and looked at the man. “What happened?”“Who are you to him?” The man studied Christina.“He’s my uncle,” Christina answered.“He hit my car just now. Look at the state of the front of my car. You should compensate accordingly.”“Christina…” Francis was immensely regretful. This branded car had to be sent out of the country for repair, so the cost would be enormous. People from middle-class households like them would not be able to afford it.“Uncle, don’t fret. I have an idea.” Even though Christina had led an opulent lifestyle since getting married to Michael, she still did not know much about cars. She pointed at the car and asked, “I’ll help you fix it. How much will that be?”“You’ll fix it?” The man acted as if he had just been told a joke. “You can’t repair this car in the country. I’ll have to send it overseas.”Christina finally realized the gravity of the situation. It seemed like she would need to spend a large sum of money. “What do you want me to do
A Complicated Romance Chapter 175
Once Matthew put his phone away, he spared the man standing before him a glance. “How brave you are. Don’t you know what ‘digging your own grave’ means?”The man’s aura was originally hostile, but his guilty conscience got to him when he realized that Matthew did not fear him at all and was staring down at him with a nefarious gaze. Then, he remembered that the woman had said earlier that she came from a penniless household and did not come from an influential background. Therefore, he gathered his courage and asked, “Who are you? Why do you want to meddle in this situation?”Matthew waved his hand dismissively. “There’s no need to panic. Aren’t you asking for money? Someone will get you the money you want very soon.”Not long after that, two police cars arrived at the scene. The first police officer to get out of the car walked toward them. “Mr. Henderson, what happened?”Matthew pointed at the man in front of him and said bluntly, “He’s a car thief who I just stumbled into. You

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.

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.

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
