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
“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
Christina’s hand froze while holding the door handle. Matthew was so quick to get engaged to Rachel! It would be normal if he had gotten engaged to another woman, but Christina’s heart felt strange after she heard those words.Naturally, Serena and Sophia would not give up such a great opportunity to irritate Christina, so the both of them were having a conversation about it.Christina tried to calm down, but she realized she was not able to do so. Those b*tches intentionally wanted her to be in sorrow. Christina opened the door and strode out of her room.She went out to have a walk alone, not knowing where to go. Without realizing how much time had passed, Christina stopped because her legs were starting to ache.Only then did Christina realize that she had come out with empty hands. She put her hands into her pockets and found a few coins in them. Heaven would always leave a door open, and this saying probably fitted well in her current situation.News of Matthew’s engagement h
