It was not secured if they only had sex once, and the following days were vital for her ovulation period. Thus, Christina thought of her own plan as she could only put up with the shame and bear it for a few more nights. Christina was shocked by Michael’s cooking skills when she looked at the kitchen, where Michael was busy cooking, because she did not know when Michael had learned to cook. Michael turned his head and smiled when he saw Christina’s expression. “You must be curious about why I know how to cook, right?” Christina kept quiet, but Michael still explained to her. “Back then, I was used to your food, so after you left, I was not pleased by the servant’s food. I recalled every detail from when you’re cooking and practiced it myself. My cooking skills have improved significantly over these past few years. I’m sure that you will be satisfied.” “Oh,” Christina answered him, then she did not speak anymore. Michael told her that he was always thinking about her, but Chri

Wilson Halter took up the photograph to confirm what he had seen. “Yes, that’s right. This is Master Davy! I attended his lecture back then when he was at the peak of his career. Too bad he vanished after that. As both Martin Harris and Master Davy had disappeared at the same time, Michael Larson made a bold assumption.“Shouldn’t Master Davy be a Frenchman?”“You must not know about this then, President Larson. Davy was just his artist name. Although he’s never revealed his true identity, he was actually born and raised in Australia.”“Do you know his real name?”Wilson shook his head. “No, I’ve only had the privilege to meet him once, that’s all.”The assistant thought of something. “The information that I’ve received shows that Martin studied in France, President Larson.”This was mind-blowing. If Francis Williams was Martin Harris, and Martin had been Master Davy, then where was the real Francis?The Francis that Michael knew was an honest and law abiding citizen. How was

Suzy Miller was crying so hard that she could not speak.As if she had been struck by lightning, Winona Harris sat there rooted to her feet. The emerald pendant before her eyes had been a gift her mother had left for her.A few years ago, she ran out of Hoover Alley in the dark of the night with a baby girl in her arms. As she handed over the baby to a man with a hunched back, she went back to the alley only to realize that her pendant was gone.Despite all this, there was one thing that Winona could conclude.

“Be honest with me, Christina. Do you really have no feelings for Michael anymore?”“Do I look like I have the time to think about that, Ariel?”“I think it’s time that you consider this issue seriously.” It was rare to see Ariel acting so serious in front of her. “It’s not just about you anymore, you know? If you become pregnant again then you’ll be having two of his children. Do you want them to grow up without a father?”“I’ve thought about this before. I’ll find Travis a father after he recovers from his disease.”“That’s not the same! How can a birth father be the same as a stepfather, Christina? Although I’ve never liked Michael, I think that you should consider being in a relationship again with him for the children’s sake.”Christina was stunned to hear this even though she knew that Ariel was doing this for her own good.No matter how nice your stepfather was, it would never be the same without a biological father. After all, the care that a stepfather gave would never b
A Complicated Romance Chapter 369
Michael felt that he was a terrible husband and it was no wonder that Christina would keep things to herself. If he had been more caring towards her, perhaps Christina would have been more open about her past.If Molly Williams’s mother remarried Martin Harris’s father, then Martin would be Christina’s uncle. Although they were not bound by blood, it was only fair that she called him that out of respect. However, he still did not understand why Martin Harris would pretend to be Francis Williams. After a long time, Michael finally mustered his courage to ask, “Besides Uncle Francis, does your mother have any relatives, Christina? What I mean to say is, did she have any other siblings back then?”Christina took a moment to think. “Nope.” She only had one uncle for as long as she could remember.Christina remembered asking her mother about this when she was young. Why did the other kids have their grandmother’s place to go to, but not her? Her mother replied by saying that her gran

“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.
