The bad feeling in Serena became increasingly intense!Serena returned to her room feeling crushed. She was disconcerted that on one hand, Michael had not returned home for a few consecutive days and he had accompanied a beautiful woman to the hospital; and on the other hand, her mom was rendezvousing with a strange man. She spent the whole night tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep. She felt the need to figure out what Michael had been doing lately.In addition to that, she had to figure out her mother’s relationship with that man.Christina did not inform Francis about her change of job. Only on the day she visited him did it cross his mind that he had not seen Matthew for a long while, so he casually asked, “Why don’t I see Matthew lately?”After a moment of silence, Christina answered, “Uncle Francis, Matthew has gotten engaged! I’ve also resigned and found another job.”“When did this happen?” Francis was astonished.“Quite some days ago.”“That b*stard behaves
“Sorry doesn’t mean a thing anymore. I’m very disappointed in you. I always thought that you were different from Henry but oh well, like father, like son. I’ve got only myself to blame for barking up the wrong tree!”Francis was seething with rage.“Sorry, it’s my fault. I thought I could provide Christina happiness, but I… I can’t pretend as if nothing has happened after knowing everything.” Every day since Matthew learned about the matter, he could not eat well nor sleep well as he simply could not forget Christina. As much as he hated Christina’s mother the most, he could not stop thinking about Christina.Yet now, the point was not whether he could accept the past. Rather, it was whether Christina would still accept him after she had found out about the truth, namely that her mother, Molly, passed away because of his mother.The answer was crystal clear. Christina would definitely not accept him like how he could not accept her.Now that their unpleasant fate had been sealed
From the time between Molly calling Francis to when she was met with an accident, Molly definitely did not have the time and energy to meet Matthew’s mother. Francis was certain that Molly’s passing was in no way related to Matthew’s mother.Never in Matthew’s wildest dreams did he expect this to be the truth. He had always felt that the incident was not as simple as it seemed. Since Molly’s passing had nothing to do with his mother, why did his mother choose to acknowledge it tacitly?Matthew was on the edge of his seat after Francis had left, so he decided to return home and asked his mother more about the incident. In fact, Madam Henderson did not commit suicide with the aim of frightening her son, but rather, it was because she did not feel like living anymore. Not only had she been abandoned by her husband for over ten years, but she was also misunderstood by her only son whom she depended on. She was so broken-hearted that she lost the motivation to survive, and with that, sh
The price of being apathetic did not only involve losing a family but also the suffering of countless condemnations. Madam Henderson felt that all of these suffering of hers must be her punishment from God, so she fasted and prayed religiously all these years. Henry was right to say that she was repenting of the bad deeds, as well her selfishness and apathy, that she had committed back then. Upon hearing this, Matthew was taken aback as he never expected the incident to turn out that way. “Mom, since you weren’t the one who caused Molly’s death, then why didn’t you explain it clearly to Henry? Why did you acquiesce in all of this?” “What’s the point of explaining? Henry had such a strong prejudice against me that he didn’t even give me the opportunity to explain, nor would he believe in me. Besides, I was indeed at the scene of Molly’s incident. Although I’m not the culprit of Molly’s death, it’s a fact that I didn’t rescue her!” “Henry doesn’t believe in you but I do! Why di
Upon knowing the sequence of events, the burden in Matthew’s heart was lifted but his mood remained gloomy. Matthew left the door and rushed toward the airport. Halfway there, he recalled what his mother and Francis had said. Molly must have met up with someone before her death. His mother said that Molly ran out of the cafe crying, so that person who made her sad and hopeless must have been in the cafe. This meant that after Molly was hit by a car, his mother was not the only one who did not save her. In fact, the person who was secretly hiding was the real murderer. He was so frustrated and muddled-minded just now that he forgot to ask who Molly had met. When Madam Henderson heard that her son had run out and gone straight to the airport, she sulked at home alone. However, she did not expect that her son would turn back and suddenly appear in front of her. “Mom, who was that person that Molly met the other day?”Seeing that all her son could think about was Molly’s accid
After knowing that Michael had not been spending the night at home, Serena started to secretly follow him. She lingered at his company entrance during the day and trailed his car in the evening to find out where he was going to spend the night. Michael was very busy during the day and he drove home alone after he got off work at night. Serena followed behind quietly, watching Michael drive his car into Oak Lake Villa. She knew before that Michael had a luxurious villa here, and she even once thought that it was for their marriage. However, Michael had never mentioned it in front of her, let alone brought her here, which she had been looking forward to him taking her here to live in this villa. Serena’s car was stopped by the neighborhood’s security guard as the security measures in this neighborhood were very strict. Every household was registered in the system and outsiders could not enter without the residents guiding them in. Serena could not call Michael for him to take h
Michael looked at her after turning around, “What do you mean?”“I’m reminding you that I’m Christina and not Serena. So I’m not someone you can order around!” Michael’s expression changed all of a sudden. Initially prepared to walk into the kitchen, he paused right then. He glared at Christina with eyes that were almost igniting sparks for a few seconds, then took off his apron and threw it on the floor before striding away. Christina smiled, not being bothered by Michael’s departure. This was what she wanted anyway. After Michael left, Christina opened up her bag and took out ovulation test strips for a test. Moments later, she saw two purple-red lines showing up, but the colors look relatively light. It seemed that her ovulation would be occurring in the next few days. Serena drove home angrily and told Sophia about her seeing Christina enter Oak Lake Villa. “Mom, what should we do now?” Sophia sneered. “Since she acted so recklessly, I’ll just do her a favor.” “What
Although Christina was feeling particularly reluctant deep inside, she could only shoot the works for the sake of her son. If Michael wanted her that night, she would not refuse his wish, instead, she would even synchronize with his needs. She was already emotionally prepared right then. However, Michael had been busy in his study, so Christina ended up falling asleep as she was too tired. Even though the day had arrived, it was not her official ovulatory time. Hence, there was no need for her to seduce Michael proactively. When Christina arrived at her office the next morning, she found that the atmosphere was a little odd as she kept feeling like someone was watching her in secret. At first, she thought she was thinking too much. However, when she went to the bathroom later, she overheard two female colleagues discussing something. “I thought she looked familiar in the beginning, but it turns out that she was the one that went on a reality dating show on TV.” “Tell me a
