A Complicated Romance Chapter 194
The Hendersons and the Youngs were close friends, so it was totally possible for them to have a political marriage due to their business interest.Christina kept her phone and sat on the couch weakly. The cold tears in her eyes were flowing down continuously.‘Matthew, you told me you’d never lie to me. You said before that you’d marry me and provide Travis with a home. You told me you’d be good to me forever and ever.‘I had decided to let go of the past to accept you and hand my future to you. How could you lie to me like this?’Christina was awake for the whole night. The next morning when Matthew came to fetch her, she gazed at his smile disappointedly.Michael was right. Matthew was from a rich family background while she was just a miserable woman. Thus, how could it be possible between them? Matthew pulled her into his car before starting the engine. “Christina, why don't you look happy? You didn’t sleep well yesterday? You have dark circles under your eyes.”Christina a

“I know we’ll face a ton of difficulties when we’re together, but I’m serious. As long as you decide to be with me, I’ll handle all those things and they won’t be our obstacles anymore.”Christina’s heart felt heavy, but her mind was sober. “There are obstacles between us, and most of them will be from your side. I don’t have any obstacles from my side, so you need to rethink whether you want to be with me.”Back then when she was with Michael, Francis had told her that she would face a lot of pressure after she married the Larsons and those problems could not be settled with love alone.Francis was correct. Hence, she could only blame herself for being stubborn and wanting to be with Michael. Ultimately, this was her outcome.The Hendersons were a distinguished family, so how could they allow a divorcee with a kid to enter their door?“Christina, let’s find a place to talk.” Matthew started his car, and moments later, they reached his apartment.After Christina sat down, he made

“What do you mean?”“Do you have a bad memory? Did you forget what I told you before? Matthew has a fiancée.”“Michael, you’re disgusting. You’re a man, but you’re driving a wedge between him and me like a woman. You won’t fool me!”“This means that you’ve asked him about it, but he denied it?”“There’s no such thing, so why does he need to deny it?”Michael sneered, “So, my good-hearted advice has made me the bad guy now.”“You have a heart?” Christina mocked him.“You have a strong prejudice against me, so you won’t listen to whatever I say. However, I still need to remind you.”Michael’s eyes were dark before he continued, “I believe that you know what kind of people the Youngs are. Back then, if Old Madam Young could use devious methods to break you and Sean apart, then Rachel will have the capability to deal with you, a woman who lacks status. She has arrived in Perth, and you, as Sean’s ex-girlfriend, I’m sure that you already know how powerful she is!”He turned and lef

Christina followed the two bodyguards to the hotel’s café where Rachel was already sitting there. She stirred her coffee graciously and lifted her head when she heard noises. “Miss William, long time no see.”“Miss Young!” Christina sat opposite her. The Young family’s genetics were terrific because the males were handsome while the females were fabulous.When Christina was in high school, she had met Rachel before because of her relationship with Sean. At that time, she knew that Rachel would grow up into a lovely lady, and now that it had been a few years, she was indeed drop-dead gorgeous.Rachel was observing Christina as well. After so many years, time had never left a scratch on her face. She was stunning as always. “Miss Williams, you look just as magnificent as you used to!”Christina smiled as she spoke in a calm voice, “You asked to meet me not because you want to praise me, right?”“You’re still as straightforward. I like it. Christina, I’ve always wanted to be friends

“Well said, Miss Young, but has it ever occurred to you that your relationship with Matthew isn’t acknowledged by the law? You’re calling me a mistress, but the same goes for you. In the end, we still need to see who Matthew will choose. After all, plenty of women have a crush on him, and you’re one of them as well.”“You… Christina, after not seeing you for years, you’ve become a glib talker as well.”Christina had said Rachel was one of many women to have a crush on Matthew. She turned her nose at Rachel, changing her expression.“I’m insignificant when compared with you.” Christina smiled coldly.“Are you still holding grudges against me because I stopped you from being with my brother? Is that why you’re clinging to Matthew to take revenge on me? Am I right?”“Miss Young, you’re taking yourself way too seriously. I left Sean not because I was afraid of you. It’s because I’ve never loved him. Who do you think you are?”The unimpressed look in Christina’s eyes made Rachel go ma

“I’m sorry. I was in a rush, so that’s why I forgot to tell you.” Christina apologized, but Matthew did not mind it. “I’m heading back to my company. See you later.”Christina took the bus after she hung up the phone. The road was full of cars because it was peak hours, so she was stuck in the middle of the road. Luckily, Matthew was her boss, which meant she would not get lectured even if she was late. Upon thinking of him, she started smiling sweetly.Then came a familiar voice. “When is this heavy traffic going to end?”Christina turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. She realized it was Doctor Harris, the one who tried to cure her infertility. At that time, she had always appeared at her office, so all the patients thought she was Winona’s daughter. They even said that she and Winona looked alike.Regarding how similar she looked to Winona, Christina found it strange as well. The two women did not know each other well and were not blood-related a

Michael frowned because he did not understand what the situation was. Then, his assistant reported to him saying that Rachel had left Perth.Christina was still currently glued to Matthew but Rachel had retreated after showing up for just a short while. This was certainly not her style.Back then, the Youngs butted in and forced Christina to break up with Sean. Nevertheless, Christina did not hide from them then and now could even make Rachel leave in dejection. How could she have changed so significantly?She hated unfaithful men the most previously, yet she was now together with Matthew, the playboy.Michael was very emotional because this meant that she was indeed in love with Matthew. That was why she ignored him for being a fickle lover as well as confronted Rachel just for him.He was disheartened, and he could not accept what the outcome was. Was he going to watch Christina marry Matthew and see her throw herself at him?Michael used all his wits to think of a way because

Christina looked at the old man in front of her, stunned. She did not expect him to suddenly call out her dead mother’s name.“Molly Williams is my mother.”The old master let out a soft “mhm”, his voice still gentle and warm as he said, “I assume that Matthew has told you about some of the Henderson family’s affairs before?”“A few.”“Then you must definitely know that his father had abandoned them, right? What do you think of this, Miss Williams?”She did not know what was in the old master’s mind. The only reason that he wanted to meet her was to persuade her to leave Matthew, was it not? Why was he beating around the bush instead of telling her what he wanted?Despite this, she was sure that the Hendersons’ old master was not such a silly man. As he had specially asked her out to meet up with him, Christina knew that he definitely had intentions for saying what he said.Unable to figure the old man out, she gave a bland reply, “I sympathize with it.” “Trust me, it was no j

In fact, Matthew was the one who planned this entire thing. He had been keeping a close eye on Rachel since she returned.He could let bygones be bygones if she was willing to settle down.

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. Her head was covered with a black cloth as they forcefully pushed her into the van.Serena and Rachel were already at the agreed-upon location when Scarface instructed Christina to step out of the vehicle. The latter’s belly was round, and both of her hands were

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. However, without anyone to depend on, she had no choice but to give into Scarface’s tyrannical abuse.Several times later, he found himself attracted to her. 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
