A Complicated Romance Chapter 239
“I know, Mom.” As Serena thought about how Heather had threatened to kill herself if Michael did not divorce Christina, she silently made up her mind to please Heather no matter what it took.Christina had taken a cab and headed towards the Garcia family the moment her plane landed. Since she did not manage to rest on the plane, she decided to take a nap in her room instead. After she woke up, she went to the dining room to look for some food.Having washed herself up, Christina now looked totally different from the sloppy woman she was just now. She was refreshed and revitalized, with no trace of tiredness. “Your cooking is still the best, Miss Laura. It’s been such a long time since I tasted your food. It smells so good!” Christina praised as she ate.Miss Laura stood next to her as she looked at Christina. “Do you like it that much, Christina? I’ll cook every day just for you then.” “Thanks, Miss Laura.” Christina let out a sweet smile before she devoured the food in front of

“Siblings who are related by blood don’t even look alike. What more those who have different mothers?” Michael’s tone was very calm.“How evil is Francis? Christina could’ve grown up in luxury and wouldn’t have had to go through so much with him if he didn’t take her away from the Garcia family!”“Yeah. If we had known that Christina is John Garcia’s daughter, you wouldn't have treated her so bad, right Mom?” Michael’s calm voice was deeper than usual. She wondered if he was trying to ridicule her for what she did.Heather’s face flushed. “No, you’re wrong. Our main conflict was due to the fact that she was infertile. It had nothing to do with her identity.”“She was living in a stressful environment, so it’s not unusual for her to be infertile under those circumstances.” Michael gave a laugh of mockery.“Let’s not talk about this for now, Michael. Now that Christina has admitted that John Garcia is her father, she would definitely do something to take her revenge on us. You must

Heather Sunderland did not understand what had gone wrong. Everything she had done from the beginning was for her son’s sake, yet why did Michael Larson not appreciate her efforts?After dinner, Christina Williams went back to her room, took a shower, and gave Francis Williams a phone call. As she filled him in the details of what had happened in the Garcia family, Francis became worried. “Be careful, Christina. Don’t fall for Sophia Kendrick’s tricks.”“Don’t worry, Uncle Francis. I’ll be careful.”The call ended. Unable to sleep, Christina laid on the bed as she thought of what had happened that day. She had managed to remain calm when she saw Michael and Serena standing in the lobby, yet she was very bothered about it. Putting up an act, she tried her best to hold her emotions in although she was very sad.She tried her best to maintain her composure in front of the two who had hurt her so many times. She knew how shocked Heather would be as soon as she learned of Christina’s tr

Christina rushed to the bus stop. She waited for some time, yet there were still no buses to be seen. Just as she was prepared to call a cab, she saw a car around the corner and noticed Michael Larson’s cold gaze staring right back at her.Christina had not expected to meet him there. Assuming that Michael was here to meet up with Serena at home, her first reaction was to look away. As she looked in another direction, she forbade herself to glance back at the man.The sound of a car door opening could be heard behind her back as Michael strode towards her. As he quickly shrouded over her, Christina was overcome with a familiar sense of masculinity. “We need to talk.”Christina had completely ignored what he had said. Seeing how calm she looked, Michael’s heart thumped even faster underneath his chest.It was already late at night yesterday but Michael found it impossible to drift to sleep. Twisting and turning in bed, the first thing he did when morning came was to find Christina

Was it not too late for Michael Larson to ask Christina Williams why?“My mind went bonkers,” Christina replied.“Are you back to take revenge on Serena?”Serena! How intimately he had called her! Christina turned her head around with animosity in her eyes. “So what if I am?”Michael glared at her. “She’s my fiancee and I’ll protect her at all cost. I will never let your evil scheme prevail, so you better keep your tricks to yourself!”This was not the first time Micahel said something like that to her. He said the same thing when he tried to protect Suzy the last time. It was hilarious, yet heartbreaking too. She must have been blind to fall for Michael back then. She could not believe that she thought he would give her a happy life.The good thing was that it was all in the past. They had nothing to do with each other now.I deserved the pain and suffering you all inflicted on me in the past, Michael Larson. Things have changed now and I swear to make you pay for everything

Just at that moment, Fred Nelson walked in and was shocked to see Christina there. “You’re back!”Christina nodded her head. Letting out a sigh, Fred raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. “Travis will get better soon. Don’t worry too much.”Seeing how caring Fred had been towards Christina, Matthew Henderson started to feel uncomfortable. “Let’s get down to business.”Fred took out a document. “The National Sports Day will be held in Perth this year. We should be able to bid for the locations for each sporting game and also the construction of the sports arena soon. The profits are estimated to be above ten billion.”Matthew’s facial expression immediately turned serious as soon as they talked about business. “Have they given out the forms for the bid yet?”“No, but I managed to get you a copy from someone I know.” Fred placed the documents in front of Matthew. As Matthew read it, joy lit up his face. “What a gem! I’m going to be loaded this time!”Fred n

Wendy placed her chopsticks down. “Who’s that? Is it your mother-in-law?”Serena nodded her head. A crease had begun to form on her forehead and the smile on her face had been completely wiped off. Nothing bad could happen to the sports arena project this time or Heather Sunderland would show her attitude again. Christina started to writhe at the thought of this. Judging from the fact that Heather had to personally call Serena to check up on the project, it could only mean that the Larsons valued it a lot. If John had not pulled strings the last time, there was no way that Matthew Henderson could win over the project that easily. This time, John might take Michael Larson’s side instead just to make up for his loss.Christina could never let this kind of thing happen. She would never let Michael and Heather live in peace.Travis was still lying in the hospital at this moment, suffering from a disease. How was it fair for the bad guys to thrive in life if Travis was in so much pain?

It was quite an unpleasant meal as everyone’s minds were full of thoughts. Christina eventually did not feel like eating anymore. She put down her fork and left.Christina did not make those remarks merely to humiliate Sophia and her daughter. After coming out of the dining room, she waited for John in the living room. “I’ve got something to tell you.”“Alright. Let’s talk in my study room.” John supposed that Christina would probably make some unkind remarks, so he did not wish to let Sophia and her daughter hear their conversation.However, Christina did not appreciate his intention. “There’s no need for that. We can talk over here.”After coming out of the dining room, Sophia and her daughter initially planned to return to their room to calm themselves down. As soon as they heard that Christina wanted to discuss something with John, both of them lingered for a moment and ended up sitting on the couch in the living room.With Sophia and Serena seated by his side, John frowned an

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.

“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
