A Complicated Romance Chapter 293
Old Madam Young was concerned about Christina, and her attitude toward the latter changed. She went to personally visit her at the hospital and even exhorted the doctor to take good care of Christina.Rachel was leaping up and down with joy in the living room by the time Old Madam Young returned. She hurried forward upon seeing the old woman. “Grandma, I have good news!”Old Madam Young did not appear gentle as usual. “Come with me,” she said coldly.Once they were in the study, she slapped Rachel across the face. “Tell me, was it you who secretly informed the police?”The happiness in Rachel’s heart vanished instantly, and her voice was full of grievances. “Grandma, I…” She wanted to deny it, but the words were stuck in her throat under Old Madam Young’s stern stare. She lowered her gaze to the ground.Old Madam Young’s face fell. “You’re refusing to tell the truth? Alright then, you know what will happen once I look into this myself!”Rachel gave in. “Grandma, I only called the

Old Madam Young left not long after checking on Christina. She reminded Sean when he saw her out. “You can’t be here every day. Don’t forget you still have a business to run. I’ll let the servants at home take care of Christina.”“Don’t worry, I can take care of her. I won’t neglect work.”“But you can’t be at the hospital all the time or people would gossip.”“Grandma, she’s my friend and she wouldn’t have gotten injured if not to save you. I have to look after her at the hospital.” Old Madam Young understood the hidden meaning behind her grandson’s words. He deliberately mentioned she was the cause of Christina’s injury to have the last word.If he thought of using this against her so he could be with Christina, then… Old Madam Young returned home with a load on her mind.She had encountered numerous obstacles in her long life but never once was she in such a dilemma.In actuality, she did not dislike Christina. Back then, she stopped the young couple from being together beca

Christina guessed that these calls were from Michael. His phone number had been blacklisted by her. He had probably come round to realize what happened and tried calling her using another phone number. The reason she went abroad was to avoid him. However, she would have to get involved with him again because of Travis.Soon, it would be the start of her ovulation cycle. No matter how loathsome this man was, she had to endure it for her son.The minute she opened the door to the Garcias’ residence, she noticed Serena and Michael sitting on the couch. John and Sophia were there too.The four of them were smiling and chatting. It was a joyous scene indeed.Her presence interrupted the harmony. Serena rose to her feet and said, “Elder Sister, you’re finally back.”She sounded genuine as if she had truly missed her. Ignoring the comment, Christina carried her luggage upstairs and returned after taking a shower. John called everyone to the table.Christina was the first who walked to
A Complicated Romance Chapter 296
“We’ll see about that.” Christina gave a vague reply. She understood perhaps Old Madam Young’s intention stemmed from the idea of repaying her kindness. However, she did not want to use that as leverage, not to mention that she no longer had the intention to be with Sean anymore.Her ambiguous remark allowed the others to imagine different possibilities.Michael tightened his fingers around the spoon until his knuckles went white. He could not repress the fire raging inside him. “Have some more food. You’ve lost some weight lately.” He helped Serena to get more food.The latter was overjoyed. Christina smiled at the couple. “You treat my younger sister really well!”This was the first time she called Serena her sister. John was over the moon to hear that. Michael, on the other hand, almost choked and started coughing incessantly.John also placed more food into Christina’s bowl. It was the same food that Michael helped Serena to. Christina immediately picked the food out and cast

Christina was not bothered about manners with this man. Since he had made the decision to walk into a marriage, he should stay loyal and take up the responsibilities of being a good husband and father. In her memory, her mother’s love for John was untainted. She tried all she could to be a good wife and a good mother. On the other hand, Henry left his wife and son in the name of love.Not only did he destroy his family, but he also ruined Christina’s. She did not have a good impression of this man. “I… I became friends with your mother from school.” A look of embarrassment washed over his face. He did not know where to place the roses in his hand.“Really? My mother had numerous friends from school but I’ve never seen them here before. What do you really want?” A married man visiting another woman with roses. Did he know no shame?“My mother’s reputation was perfect all her life and I want to keep it that way. Please leave. Don’t come disturbing my mother anymore.”Henry stood

Christina teared up because in this house, only Laura would care about her now. Therefore, she let Miss Laura enter her room. However, she inadvertently spotted Michael walking up the stairs.Serena’s room was on the other side of the corridor on the second floor. Michael really cared about Serena. While thinking about that, Christina closed the door emotionlessly.“Miss Laura, come sit down.” Christina took the black tea from her hands and took a sip.“Christina, are you hungry? I can prepare something for you to eat.”“Thanks, Miss Laura. I want some noodles.”“Alright. I’ll cook some noodles for you.” Miss Laura took a few steps while hesitating to say the words or not. “Miss Serena was hurt. Christina, do you want to check on her?”Christina was stunned, but she reacted quickly. “I know. I’ll go and have a look later.”Laura opened the door and left after she heard what Christina said.Christina never wanted to check on Serena, but she understood Laura’s efforts because she

Michael went to Oak Lake Villa after he left the Garcias’ residence. He was getting impatient after waiting on the couch for three hours, and when Michael was about to go look for her, he heard sounds of the door unlocking.He quickly sat back on the couch with a lazy posture and forced himself not to look in the direction of the door.The fragrance of a lady’s perfume assaulted his nostrils, and it was the Chanel perfume that he was familiar with. Michael pretended to be calm with his eyes staring at the entertainment show on the television.Initially, Michael thought Christina would not have come here. Not only was she here, but she also came while wearing such a strong perfume. It was out of his expectations.Christina probably deliberately applied heavy makeup to disgust Michael. However, all these were foolish tricks to him. No matter her makeup, he had already decided what to do with her tonight.The lady changed her shoes at the door, and as she got closer to the couch with

Michael took his coat and went out after he gave the orders. His blood was boiling as he drove away from Oak Lake Villa because Christina dared to make fun of him.That woman thought she could get away from him by blacklisting his phone number and hiding inside the Garcias’ residence? Christina must have thought that he would not dare to do anything to her openly in the Garcias’ residence! Michael gritted his teeth, and his gaze was fierce. ‘Christina, you’re still too inexperienced to challenge me. I’ve got to get you out of the house tonight!”The hostess called Christina to tell her that the customer had forced her out after she got chased out of the villa by Michael. Everything happened like how Christina expected it to. She let the hostess be the frontliner just to make Michael sick.From what the hostess described, Michael was most likely fuming. He had mysophobia, so he might not be sleeping well tonight.Christina laughed while gloating. When she was about to sleep, a ser

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.
