A Complicated Romance Chapter 250
“What happened?” Christina asked in surprise.“I heard from Dad that Martin was highly sought-after when he was in the spotlight back then. Besides architecture, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of antiques and paintings. Many European collectors have asked him to appraise paintings.” “There was once where a France collector requested Martin to purchase a set of precious antique paintings which was available within the country. The collector eventually found out that those were reproduction paintings. Because of this, Martin went bankrupt and subsequently disappeared.” “Just because of that?” Christina found it unbelievable. “With his well-established reputation, he could’ve made a comeback despite his bankruptcy. Why did he have to seclude himself?”“There has been another rumor of him living in seclusion, not because of the paintings. It’s because his dearest woman had married another man. In fact, he had fallen deeply in love with the woman. At last, he got out of the public e

“It’s not easy to get bone marrow. A lot of patients in the hospital never get the chance to find a bone marrow that matches them.”After thinking over it, Christina told Francis the suggestion provided by Doctor James. “Uncle Francis, I’m not just planning to get their assets when I go back this time. I’ll also be taking Michael’s sperm to have another child. The blood inside the umbilical cord can be used to save Travis.” Much as Francis felt like stopping her, he was unable to come up with any other alternative, so he tacitly approved it. “Christina, I’ll support you regardless of your decision. I hate myself for being useless and incapable of helping you with anything.” “Uncle Francis, what makes you say so? You’ve done more than enough for me.” Christina held Francis’s hand. “Somehow I’m getting grumpier recently, and I haven’t been feeling myself. What should I do, Uncle Francis? I feel that I’ve become evil. I’ve become an evil person.”“Christina, you’re not evil. You’re

“According to Mayor John’s logic, all babies would enjoy drinking milk. You might as well give me a milk bottle.”John was embarrassed, while Christina pretended that she did not notice his expression. “Y’all just enjoy your meal. I have something to discuss with you after you finish your meal.” John was stunned to see her turn around. “Aren’t you eating?”“These oily dishes are disgusting and nauseating. I’d better go back to my room and have instant noodles.” After making such a remark, she believed that they would not be able to eat well.Christina actually said that the dishes were disgusting. How were the rest going to eat the food? Serena couldn’t resist commenting. “Christina, these are what Mom deliberately prepared for you. Even if you don’t appreciate it, you shouldn’t have made such unpleasant remarks!”“Sorry. Unlike Miss Garcia who’s a young lady from an eminent family, I’m just an ordinary person. I have no idea how to describe the dead bodies of these animals on th

“Shh!” Sophia immediately stopped her daughter, then she glanced at Miss Laura who was clearing the leftovers. “I’ve reminded you many times to be cautious about your words!”John went up to Christina’s room. After knocking on the door, he entered the room. “Christina, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. To be honest, I only found out later…”“Stop!” Christina waved her hand. “I’m not concerned about that. Let’s be honest with each other. I’ve come back to the Garcias’ house as per your request. When are you giving me your assets as you’ve promised? John was stunned. He did not expect Christina to be so forthright. “In a few days.”“In a few days?” Christina asked.“Christina, are you really desperate for money at this moment?” John asked tentatively.“Yes!”“I’ll give you all the money I’ve saved up over these few years, okay?”“What about those paintings? Are you not giving them to me?” Christina asked.“Of course they belong to you, but I’ll only hand them to you after Sere

Christina was shocked to receive a call from Heather who asked her out. She had a gut feeling that nothing good would come out of it, and therefore rejected the old witch outright.With great determination, Heather then went to Christina’s workplace. Having failed to shun Heather, Christina had no choice but to agree to meet her.In the cafe, Heather showed an embarrassed smile. “Christina, the reason why I came looking for you is to clear things up with you.”“Old Madam Larson, we have nothing to do with each other. I don’t think there’s anything we need to discuss.”Heather looked annoyed. “Admittedly, I forced Michael and you to divorce back then. You can choose to hate me, but I hope you won’t hate Michael.”After hearing the corny remark, Christina stood up and was about to leave. “Sorry, I’m too busy to chatter with you. I don’t want to see any of you from the Larson family. I hope you won’t appear in front of me anymore.” Seeing her leave, Heather began to feel anxious. “

“If you can’t remember, I’ll refresh your memory bit by bit. Now, please apologize to her!”“Why should I apologize?” Christina stared coldly at Michael. “I used to be very tolerant only because you were my husband and she was my mother-in-law. Who are both of you to me now? You’re not in a position to make me apologize, are you?”“You have no respect for an elder, so you must apologize!”“Ah! How domineering of you, President Larson!” Matthew strode in from the door.Among them, Christina was most surprised to see Matthew, who was unaware of her relationship with Michael earlier. She did not want to let anyone know about it anyway.His sudden appearance at this moment made Christina jump out of her skin. Earlier, Matthew suspected that Christina was in a relationship with Michael. However, he never thought that Christina was Michael’s ex-wife just because Serena was his fiancée. He felt that even if both the sisters fell in love with the same man at different times, John woul

Watching Matthew getting punched a few times, Christina panicked and grabbed the vase on the table, aiming to smash at Michael. Heather was worried that her son would get hurt, so she pushed Christina a little. The vase missed Michael and fell between both Michael and Matthew. Matthew and Michael were beating each other inextricably. The vase fell and shattered in the middle of both of them, which left them stunned at the same time. They looked at Christina at the same time. Christina looked at Matthew somewhat at a loss. “I...I didn’t mean to hit you!”While speaking, she hurriedly went to assist Matthew. Matthew grinned and said, “Aim properly when you want to hit next time. If not, just stay aside, don’t cause extra trouble!”Christina nodded saying, “Okay!”Michael stood by the side while listening to the conversation between both of them, his heart ached as though it was being torn apart. He was hit first, but Christina only thought about Matthew and even helped Matthew

“He’d finally found a woman of the same social status after all the trouble, and she had a miscarriage because of me. He must have hated me to the core. It’s already merciful of him to make me leave with nothing.” Christina could not help but mock herself.Matthew felt angry on her behalf. “Tell me, who’s the secret lover?”“It’s his current fiance!” “What?” Matthew’s eyes widened all of a sudden. “Serena was his secret lover back then?” “Is that weird? Her mom eventually became a married wife by being a mistress. She only inherited her mother’s blood.” Christina recalled what happened that year. “I hated both her and her mother ever since they caused trouble for my mom. That’s why I lost control and went and hit Serena impulsively upon knowing she got pregnant.” “Impulsive? How is that impulsive? In that case, you would be an idiot if you didn’t hit her!” Matthew was enraged. “John already knew that you had a hard time, and yet he still made Serena marry Michael. He total

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.

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.

“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
