A Complicated Romance Chapter 177
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

“I don’t want to wait here. I want to find my son!” Christina’s legs were shaking. Her greatest fear was coming true. What would she do if Travis was never found?That was her son! What should she do now that her cute, obedient, and thoughtful son was gone?Matthew sighed when he saw the state she was in. “Okay, you can come with me!”He held Christina up as they stumbled out of the security room. The mall’s security guards and staff had been mobilized. They were searching for Travis at every inch. Under the lead of a security guard, Matthew walked to the blind spot shown in the footage with an arm around Christina. They found a shirt at the blind spot where the man carrying Travis had disappeared into. Taking the shirt away, they found Travis laying right under the garment and sleeping soundly. Christina reached out and pulled Travis right into her arms. Tears gushed out of her eyes once again as the feeling of finally finding something she had lost overwhelmed her.Matthew exte

A raging fire was ignited in her heart. This was the first time she had ever shouted at someone without caring how she would seem to others. She screamed until her voice turned hoarse.Heather was very satisfied with her reaction. “Christina, if I find that you still have any relations with Michael, things won’t be resolved as easily as it did. I’ll make your son disappear forever!”“Try that, and I’ll kill you!”“Christina, try and put yourself in my shoes. We’re both parents, and you love your son just as I love mine. I hope my son won’t be entangled with you again in the future. Today’s lesson is a small one. Do you understand?”“I’ll sue you! You wicked woman!”“What evidence do you have?” Heather sneered. “Christina, you don’t stand a chance in a fight against me.”“I don’t believe you can just get away with everything you do!”“I indeed can’t get away with everything I do, but I’m content with just getting away with putting you down.” Heather chuckled darkly. “You can try

Christina was having mixed feelings as she laid in his warm and generous embrace. Although Matthew was a playboy and had many ex-girlfriends, she knew that he was a kind person. She thought, ‘Matthew Henderson, if you really like me, please don’t let me down! I’ll give you my heart from this day onward!’Michael was sitting in his car and staring intently at the car with smooth lines that was parked in front of him. The woman in the car was beaming as she talked animatedly to the man.Her smile triggered his senses. He had seen this man send her home a couple of times in the past, but she had never smiled as brightly as she did at the moment. What happened that made her so elated?“Christina, you look so beautiful when you smile. Remember to smile more in the future!” Matthew stared greedily at Christina’s tiny but alluring face. The old Christina was back. This was the woman he wanted. She was beautiful but not naive. Matthew’s heart erupted with joy when he thought about how he

Matthew pulled Christina firmly into his embrace as he finally pulled back from the kiss. “I don’t want to leave today!”Her cheeks blushed within seconds as she tapped him on the head playfully. “Don’t you dare treat me like all your other women!”“Listen to me!” He grabbed her hands as he stared into her eyes. “I don’t want to be away from you anymore, do you understand? Christina, let’s get married!”“Married?”“Yes! Let’s get married right away! Then you can move in with me and I can finally do the things I want to do to you!” He laughed evilly.“Naughty!” She glared at the man. Marriage was not a simple love affair and Matthew was not the only person who had a say in this. “I’ll think about it.”She was also giving him some time to consider this properly.He pressed a finger on her red lips. “Silly!” A strange feeling materialized in his heart, knowing that she still did not fully believe him. How could he make her trust him wholeheartedly?Reluctantly, Matthew left Christ

“Father, you can be mad at me but Matthew’s your grandson, you can’t just let him be!” The flustered man tried convincing again.“You, as his father, abandoned him back then to be with that lowly woman. When did you care about Matthew? Don’t return to the Henderson family since you’ve decided to leave. It’s none of your business who he wants to be with! Out now!”“Father!”“I say out!” Old Man Henderson ordered with a long face.He threw the walking stick on the ground angrily when the man remained standing there. “Butler, what are you waiting for? Chase him out of my house!”The butler had no choice but to step in. “Master, please leave. We don’t want to infuriate Old Master more.”The man was reluctant but he was left with no alternative at this moment.Old Man Henderson was still in a rage after the unwelcome guest left. “How could that b*stard criticize Matthew after the disgraceful thing he had done back then? Matthew wouldn’t turn out like this if he hadn’t abandoned his f

Henry coughed softly to ease the embarrassment. “Matthew, I just came back from your grandpa’s. He has something to tell you.”“You must be kidding?” Matthew scoffed. “Grandpa’s most probably shaking with fury upon seeing his disgraceful, unfilial son. Would he really ask you to speak on his behalf? Ridiculous!”Henry ignored his mocking and spoke seriously. “Matthew, your grandpa wants me to tell you he doesn’t care if you’re just messing with that woman. But a divorced woman with a child is never going to be accepted to the Henderson family.”A flurry of emotions moved across Matthew’s features like a storm. “So what if I like a divorced woman? It’s nothing compared to you messing with a married woman.”“Matthew!” Henry could no longer retain his feelings. “There’s no love between your mother and I. There’s just something that you don’t know of…”“So that justifies your love for someone else’s wife?” Matthew could not care less. “Henry Henderson, you can divorce Mom if you don’t

No one really had any idea what actually went behind the closed doors of rich and powerful families. For reasons unknown to herself, Christina felt sorry for Matthew.He had been feeling down after Henry showed up thus she dared not disturb him. After work, Fred walked into her office carrying a delicate bag.“President Henderson bought this for you. Try it on.”“Why spend lavishly for no reason?”“President Henderson naturally has his reasons to do so. Meet him after putting this on.” Fred left after that, leaving the woman baffled.She opened the delicate bag and found an evening gown inside. It seemed like Matthew was going to attend another ball again tonight. There was a restroom in her office. She locked the door and got changed into the gown.Christina went to meet Matthew in his office after putting on the gown. He was not looking as gloomy as he was earlier today. Instead, he was smiling and joking with Fred. The two of them turned toward the door upon hearing the nois

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. 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
