“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
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
Christina blushed the second she heard his words that sounded so much like a confession. She tried to change the topic at once. “The housekeeper is innocent. He didn’t know that his nephew stole the car. Can you ask your friend not to fire him?”“You’re so stupid!” Matthew pressed a finger into her forehead. “Why did someone as bright as myself would have relations with a dumb woman like you? You never learn your lesson! Did you forget that he threatened you for money just now?”“That’s his nephew and has nothing to do with him. I just think it’ll be really sad if he gets fired too.”“Only a dumb woman like you would think he’s innocent. He’s committed numerous crimes in the past!” Matthew explained, “Harry spends a large part of the year in France and rarely ever comes back. His branded cars and luxurious villa in the country are all taken care of by the housekeeper. He has been renting the cars out and receiving rental fees in return. Not only that, he’s been up to some heinous st
Heather dwelled on the matter for a while and agreed to the idea after coming up with nothing. Travis had grown a lot. His clothes were getting shorter. Christina brought him to a mall to shop for a few sets of clothes since it was her day off. She was reminded of how old her uncle’s clothes were, so she went to the men’s section as well, ready to pick a few garments for Francis.She put Travis on the sofa and instructed him to sit there and rest. She went and picked some clothes for Francis. However, Francis was gone when she turned back after a round of selection.Dread gripped Christina’s heart. She threw the clothes down and ran out of the store. “Travis! Travis!” she shouted frantically.There was no Travis in sight. Christina looked everywhere for him. “Did you see my son?” She stopped a passerby in a frenzy and asked.He shook his head, and she continued her search.She still could not find him. Terror was written all over her face. Her voice was choked with sobs. “Travis
