A Complicated Romance Chapter 198
“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
A Complicated Romance Chapter 202
Christina shook her head in denial as she simply could not accept the truth. It turned out that the one who broke up Matthew’s family was her mother. She was the woman Matthew had hated all these years!The old master had to be telling a joke, right? How could this be?“Do you understand now why I’m so against your relationship with Matthew, Miss Williams? I don’t care about your past marriage, nor do I care about the fact that you have a child. All I want to do is to protect Matthew from this. After all, Matthew grew up without a father. Do you think that he’d want to date you after he realizes that your mother broke up his family?”The way the old master spoke was calm, yet his words were firm as they engraved themselves deep into her heart. “Of course, I won’t stop you if you decide to remain with him after this. You have to remember something, though. The truth will always come out no matter what. Think about it before you give me an answer, Miss Williams.”Trying not to make

Michael placed Christina at the back of his car and buckled the seatbelt for her. As he made his way to the driver’s seat, he locked the door and drove the car.Christina was in an extremely unstable mood as she cried and yelled at the back of the car like a mad person. Michael had never seen her in this state before.Although he was sad to see her that way, an odd sense of joy crept its way to his heart. After what the old master of the Henderson family had told her, things would definitely come to an end between Christina and Matthew.Christina never stopped screaming along the way to the hospital. As Michael sped off, Christina feared for her sanity as she lost control of herself. She could no longer repress her emotions and letting out her frustrations was the only way to make herself feel better.The car stopped when they arrived at their destination. Ignoring her screams and slaps, Michael carried her and walked into the infirmary. “She lost her step just now, Doctor. Can you

“Let you go? Am I the Loch Ness monster or something? Am I that scary to you?” Matthew glared at Christina. “I can’t love a man who has had so many exes before me. You’re so filthy that you disgust me!”“What did you say?” Matthew was only one step away from exploding in rage. The woman actually called him filthy! She said that he was filthy!Matthew furiously lifted his fist as he prepared to strike. Thinking that he was going to hit her face, Christina instinctively closed her eyes when she heard a loud crash. It turned out that his fist had landed on the wall behind her instead.The skin by his knuckles tore as blood trailed down his fingers. Upset that he may have hurt himself, Christina quickly reached her hands out.Matthew was delighted at the thought that she had changed her mind. His joy disappeared the moment she reached her hands out toward her fingers. As she took the ring off, she passed it over to him. “Here’s your ring. I’ll stop by your office to send in my resign

“Firstly, I’d like to congratulate you, Miss Young. You have succeeded in making Christina leave me.” Matthew took a seat, his eyes dark and empty like his soul. “You’re becoming more and more ruthless, Rachel Young. I have to admit that I’m impressed.”“I...” Rachel felt wronged.“Did you think that I’d end up with you if you got Christina out of the picture?” The corners of Matthew’s lips curved upward into a smile as mockery lingered in the air. “We’ve known each other for 20 years, Rachel. Do you think I’m the kind of person to be fooled around with? Am I just another chest piece in your game? Why would I wait for so long if I had feelings for you?”“Why don’t you have feelings for me?”“Why should I?” Matthew glared at her. “Only those who fall head over heels would be blind to your tactics, Rachel Young. Unfortunately, I’m not one of them, and I know exactly what you’re doing. Let me tell you this. If not for Sean Young, I never would’ve noticed you nor looked you in the eye!

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.

“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
