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!

As the unit upstairs burned fiercely, a lot of the residents started to rush their way down. As he was sprinting up the stairs, it was hard for Michael not to bump into anyone.“It’s burning upstairs, don’t go!”Ignoring what the residents said, Michael ran all the way to Christina’s floor. Both Christina and Francis were nowhere to be seen.The door to her unit was locked and faint cries of a child could be heard coming from the inside. Using his shoulders, Michael tried to slam himself against the door but it was to no avail. As the cries grew louder, panic began to overtake him while fear crept up his heart.Not giving up, Michael desperately tried to knock down the door by ramming his shoulders into it and kicking it furiously. A resident who had been fleeing for his life stopped to persuade him. “The fire’s coming. You’d better run now or you won’t be able to make it!”Pushing the man away, Michael continued to ram the door down while yelling, “Christina! Christina Williams!”

Christina was still unconscious by the time she came out of the emergency room. Travis bawled his tears out while shaking her arms. “Wake up, Mommy! I’m so scared!”Michael gave the boy a hug as comfort. “Your mommy’s tired, Travis. She’ll be fine after a nap. I’ll be here with you instead.”Travis was a sensible boy, so he stopped crying when he was told that his mother would be fine, yet he did not let go of his tight grip on her hand. Seeing this, Michael felt his heart ache. How much had the boy gone through for him to be so sensible at such a young age? With that in mind, he instinctively placed his hands over theirs.A long time passed before Christina finally opened her eyes. “Mommy’s awake!” Travis leaped in joy. The first thing Christina saw when she woke up was Michael’s face. Somehow, the mere sight of him gave her a bad headache and she felt her energy draining away. “You… What were you doing at my house, Michael Larson?”“You’re awake, Christina! How do you feel?” Mi

John was the first to know about the explosion and personally made a visit to the hospital to calm the victims down.It was only natural for a bunch of journalists to follow after him. After all, he was the mayor, and paying a visit to the hospital would make leading news in the papers. As it was part of his job, John had wanted to check on the injured at first but never expected his daughter to be one of them.With her head bandaged by gauze, Christina looked extremely pale. Seeing her like that made John feel really sad as he held onto her hand. “Are you in pain? You should just focus on getting well and leave the rest to the government. Just let us know if you need any help and we’ll try our best to help you.”Noticing that the reporters were taking photographs, Christina held in her resentment toward her father and tried her best not to push his hand away. “Thank you, Mayor John.” After that, John instructed the hospital to do everything within their power to cure the patients

Serena had already anticipated him to say something she would not have liked to hear, yet she could not help but feel sad at how direct Michael was being.After all, she had placed the blame for her miscarriage onto Christina in hopes that this would guilt trip Michael into being in a relationship with her.

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.
