A Complicated Romance Chapter 328
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
A Complicated Romance Chapter 330
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
A Complicated Romance Chapter 332
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

“This shameless woman should be exposed. Let everyone witness her contaminated body and soul.” “I want to beat her up so badly!” The camera lights kept flashing, stinging Christina’s eyes. Surrounding her ears were all vicious verbal attacks. Worse even, a female ‘reporter’ came forward and pulled her hair forcefully. Christina had never once fought. The pain that she felt from her hair being pulled made her move her hands around to shield herself from those fists and slaps. Fortunately, the security guards of the building appeared just in time. Her manager also rushed out of the building to save Christina from the chaos and called Michael to report the situation. Once Michael received the news, he could not care about going to work. Instead, he immediately called Christina. Upon discovering her phone could not be reached, he drove over to Christina’s office by himself. When Michael arrived at Christina’s office, she was no longer there. Those women and reporters who were m

By the time Michael reached the foot of the hill, the sky already turned dark. It was dangerous to head up the hill at night. He ran up the hill and tripped over rocks multiple times. His arm was already bleeding by then. When he finally reached the cemetery, the surrounding was dark and he could not see anything at all. Not knowing which Molly’s tombstone was, Michael started shouting in panic, “Christina...Christina…”No one responded to him in the dark, the cold breeze from the top of the hill kept blowing his way. He kept yelling while searching for Christina, and suddenly his feet stumbled on something. Looking down, he found a lady’s shoe. As expected, Christina was on the hill. Following the navigation in his memory, he slowly felt his way around the tombstones nearby Molly’s, and finally noticed a small figure curled up on the ground. “Christina!” Feeling distressed, he shouted her name and stretched out both of his hands quickly to embrace her in his arms. Christin
A Complicated Romance Chapter 335
Both Sophia and Serena overheard Miss Laura on the phone from downstairs, and they knew it was from Michael. As the night wore on, Michael no longer gave them a call. The mother and daughter glanced at each other. “It looks like Michael had found that witchy woman.” “Mom what should we do now?” Serena asked. “If we pretend to know about it, it will instead arouse Michael’s suspicion. Call him and say that you just saw the news on the internet, then ask how Christina is doing now.” Serena nodded and took out her phone to dial Michael’s number. However, no one picked up from the other end, and it was the same thing even though she kept calling multiple times. “Mom, Michael didn’t pick up. Has he started to suspect me?” Before Sophia could speak, Serena’s phone rang and it was Wendy’s number.“Serena, bad news, those reporters...they…” Wendy got so nervous that she got tongue-tied. “Serena, these people...were taken to the detention center!”“What did you say” Serena also pan

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.

“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.
