“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
“I’m not having another baby because of Michael, I’m doing it just for Travis. The doctor said that the success rate of bone marrow transplant is only 50%, and the rate for cord blood is the highest, so I have no choice.” Matthew was silent for a while. “I have nothing against you having another baby, but when I think of Michael, I just feel so uncomfortable. We have truly let this scumbag off the hook!” “I’m just doing it for my son.” Christina reiterated. Matthew took a deep breath and did not say anything. It was said that maternal love is the greatest love in the world, which was present in Christina. She hated Michael so much, but she was willing to have another child with Michael just for the sake of her son. “Christina, a man who has cheated after marriage usually has a messy lifestyle. Stealing his sperm shouldn’t be tough. When the time comes, I’ll find a coquettish young girl to seduce him, get his sperm and take a nude photo of him, then expose him!” “Will he fall
“What do you plan to do, President Larson?” “Tell Old Master Henderson that his beloved grandson is back with Christina again!”Matthew was looking for an architect on a large scale. On the other hand, Michael was not idle either. While Matthew went to other cities to meet architects, Michael had already hired Wilson Halter, a well-known local architect.Wilson Halter had designed sports arenas for many sports events. With him in the project, the chance of winning would be much higher. Of course, Michael knew everything that Matthew had information about. He would not give up finding Martin Harris. It was better to have two strings to his bow just in case of emergency so that he could secure an unassailable position. Hearing that Michael had hired Wilson Halter, Matthew was not very surprised by it. Wilson and Michael had a good relationship, it was normal for Michael to recruit him as his architect. Christina was worried when she heard this news. “What should we do? Wilson Hal
“Christina, you have to take a break. Don’t wear yourself out.” Christina knew that John was afraid she would feel uncomfortable after hearing Sophia’s words, so he changed the subject. She did not accept it. “Heather and Miss Garcia are as close as a mother and daughter, are you envious of them?” Sophia smiled awkwardly. “I’m more than happy that the Larsons treat Serena well, why should I be angry?”“I’ve lived with the Larsons. I knew that Heather is a noble woman on the surface, but a shrew behind the scenes. She’s vicious and cunning when it comes to treating people. How great it is that Miss Garcia is close with Heather like mother and daughter. People who think alike tend to bond well. Hope you’ll always be so harmonious with each other.” Christina was being honest. She knew Heather very well, and she was also clear about the plans in Sophia and Serena’s hearts. Even if they got bullied by Heather, they would present a false sense of peace, leaving no trace on the surface
Christina raised her head with a faint smile. “Thank you, Mayor John!”Seeing that she was always exhibiting this kind of detached attitude, John left the room and went downstairs with a gloomy expression. Sophia came over and handed him a bank card.“Johnny, life must be difficult for Christina. I have some personal savings to spare, you help me hand this to her.” John hesitated for a moment then shook his head. “No need. You don’t have much in your personal savings either, keep it for Serena. I’ll think of ways to help Christina out.” Sophia was just acting anyway and did not have the intention of giving her money. John declining her was just what she wanted. Watching John entering his study room, she turned around and went into Serena’s room. As soon as she saw Sophia, Serena started complaining, “Mom, that witch is way too vicious. She came back to make us unhappy. I can’t stand it anymore. You should think of a way to kick her out!”“What can I do?” Sophia asked. She woul
Whatever they had planned had nothing to do with her. Her kid would not have the slightest involvement with these people. “Christina, you really do have a kid?” The shock in John’s heart intensified. “When did you get married? Who’s the kid’s father? Why didn’t you bring your kid back this time?” “My child’s father is dead. As for whether I’ll bring my kid back or not, do you think my son would be willing to live in this kind of household, Mayor John?” “Christina, I’m the child’s grandfather after all. Why have you never told me about your child?” Christina sneered as she had never intended to acknowledge John as her father, nor had she planned to let Travis know of his grandfather’s existence. “That’s my child, why should I tell you?” “Christina, you…”“It’s getting late now, and I need to rest. You can leave now, Mayor John.”John let out a heavy sigh as he saw the door closing right in front of him. He turned around to go downstairs as Sophia came forward and approache
“I know very well what kind of person you are!”John stared at the woman in front of him. Back then, Winona exhausted all methods to deal with Molly. It was obvious how calculating and manipulative she was, so misdiagnosis was something she could totally carry out. “Go ahead and check it! Come and convict me after your investigation!” Winona was not the least bit afraid. “She couldn’t have children for years when she was married to the Larsons, was it all my fault? Just because she had a child later on, you’re putting the blame on me now?” Winona also knew John very well, she knew that he would definitely investigate the matter from last year. “You only think of questioning me, why don’t you think that I was the one that helped cure her illness? “You?” John showed disdain on his face. “You would be so kind?” “I prescribed so many medications for her. Perhaps one of the prescriptions I gave her was right, and her illness was cured. You should thank me instead.” Winona defended
After releasing all the anger from deep within, Winona put on a smile and went to Henry’s room. She knocked on the door and went in. It was quiet with only some rustling sounds, Henry was painting at his desk right then. There were already many portraits on his desk, all of which were portraits of Molly, her smile as bright as sunshine in the spring. The floor was filled with all types of woods, which were carved with Molly’s look. There were a multitude of postures, including seated and standing ones as well as angry and charming ones. Every time Henry recalled one of Molly’s smiles or gestures, he would draw it out and carve it on a block of wood. He said he never wanted to forget her, every word and smile of hers. Several rooms at home were already filled with Molly’s sculptures and portraits. Winona suppressed the tumbling sensation in her heart and walked to Henry’s side, standing still. “Henry, I have something to tell you.” “I’m swamped, we’ll talk about it tomorrow
