A Complicated Romance Chapter 38
“Men will always find excuses for being a fickle lover. I’ve heard this excuse eight hundred times already.”“They’re finding excuses, but I’m honest!” Seeing that she did not believe in him, Matthew immediately stood up. “Christina, I swear!”His sudden reaction had made Michael’s fair face look even darker. Not able to put up with it anymore, Michael stood up too. “President Henderson, we meet again.”Matthew turned around. “Hey, you’re here too?”The Hendersons had kept in touch with the Larsons before they moved out of the country. Considering that Matthew had met Heather before when he was young, he took the initiative to greet her this time. “Hi, aunty.”She nodded with a smile, but her eyes were on Christina.Christina did not bat an eye at them as she slowly wiped her mouth with a napkin. Her carefree look had become cocky and arrogant in Heather’s eyes.Heather was a little confused. “Matthew, you and her…”Matthew waved at Christina. “Christina, come here. Let me intr

Matthew ran out of the café. “Christina, what’s the matter?”She pretended not to understand. “What?”“You were rude just now, and you embarrassed me.” He complained. “Michael saved you that night. Besides, his mother is your senior, you shouldn’t be so rude.”“She calls herself a senior?” Christina’s eyes flashed with hatred as she recalled the torture she suffered three years ago. “I hate people who take advantage of their seniority. As for Michael, do you think he genuinely wanted to save me?”Matthew then thought about Christina’s relationship with John. “Does Michael know that you’re John’s daughter?”“No!”“Why?”Matthew recalled the scenario that night. Michael’s posture was a little unusual when he was carrying her in his arms.“Christina, do you know Michael?”“I’d rather not!” She quickly answered before she zipped her mouth and closed her eyes to get some rest.Suddenly, a spark flashed through his mind as if he had gotten a clue but as he pondered, he realized tha

Christina would like to get Travis a father if there was a suitable opportunity, but she was worried that men were only attracted to her appearance. Thus, she did her makeup poorly and wore fake braces on purpose.Suppose someone was still willing to pick her, then not only must he be a loyal man, but must he really want to be with her too.“Serena, it doesn’t match. She’s not Christina.”“They look alike though. You can see it in her body figure, it seems identical.” Serena whispered, “Did Christina adopt a kid because she knows that she can’t give birth to a child?”“Just leave her alone. Even if it’s her, it doesn’t matter to us. Did you call Michael today?”“I’ve called him, but he’s in a bad mood. Mom, can you call Michael as well and have him come eat with us tonight?”Sophia knew very clearly what her daughter was thinking. “It’s useless for me to call him, you have to get your father to do it. Just wait for a moment, I’ll ask your father to call Michael.”“Alright. Thank

He was so disheartened here, yet that woman had gone to participate in a TV blind date program. She was clearly doing this on purpose to oppose him, to anger him to death!Matthew’s expression darkened, and without saying a word, he turned to leave. The old wooden flooring creaked under his forceful stomps.Francis closed the door, confused, once Matthew was a distance away. Though not long after, Matthew knocked on the door again and asked him which blind date program and which TV station Christina went to was.After getting the answers, he went downstairs once again with a dark expression.Back in the car, Matthew was furious. “That damn woman. How dare she go on a blind date behind my back. I’ll teach you a lesson!”His anger was not relieved even after cursing Christina, so he took out his phone and dialed his assistant, Fred’s number. “Do a check on the Blind Date Reality Show that the TV station is broadcasting.”Fred was stunned for a moment. “Young Master, why are you ask

Fred thought to himself, ‘Whether or not anyone chooses Christina is other people’s business. What has it got to do with you? How is she embarrassing you?’However, he could only carry those thoughts in his mind as he did not dare to voice them. “Yes, President Henderson, those people’s eyes must be smeared with crap. Christina is so beautiful, but none of them even noticed!”Matthew echoed the scolding before he suddenly realized something. “Fred, are you beating around the bush to scold me?”It did not feel strange when he was the one cursing, but when it came from another’s mouth, he heard it as unpleasant.“Of course not! President Henderson, what are you talking about?”“You must be scolding me! Hm, let me see. Christina was with me for three months before I discovered that she was a beauty. You must be insinuating that I’m blind and ignorant!” Matthew began to be unreasonable again.Fred complained bitterly, “President Henderson, that’s not true! Even if you beat me to deat

Christina did not dwell on Ariel’s words. The next morning, she entered the studio as usual and found that there was an additional empty chair in the male guests’ area.Although she did not watch TV, Christina knew how influential this program now was, so it was not strange that a male guest was suddenly added.The lights turned on, the music started, and the female host stepped on the catwalk to the front stage. Once she read the advertisement in her hand, she did some publicity for the program.“After just one episode, our program has already hit a new high in ratings. The waiting list for those signing up to participate has already grown to three months long.”Then, the host changed the topic and the spotlight fell on the empty male guest’s seat. “Everyone must be wondering why there is an additional empty seat here. It’s because we will be adding a new influential male guest!”The male guests who participated in the program were all selected after layers of evaluation. Accordi

All the people, including the host, followed his line of sight with pounding hearts.The first female guest was a model who was invited by the program with a large sum to support the show. She was tall, curvaceous, and her body was incredibly hot.During the last recording, out of the dozen male guests, most of them gave her flowers, which instantly made her famous and well-known overnight.As a model, the woman was well informed, so she recognized who Matthew was the moment he appeared. She remembered that Matthew Henderson had a fondness for models since several of his girlfriends had modeling backgrounds. Could it be that Matthew specially came here to confess to her?When she saw that Matthew’s eyes had fallen on her, she was so excited that she could hardly suppress her emotions. If Matthew confessed to her now, she would definitely go with him.However, her excitement soon turned to helplessness as Matthew’s eyes left her and fell on female guest No. 3.No. 3’s figure was n

Female guest No. 5 burst with joy and nodded forcefully. “I like it.”The corners of Matthew’s mouth curled upward. “Should I give it to you just because you like it?”This line was somewhat unexpected, and no one knew what Matthew was thinking. Female guest No. 5 pouted coquettishly and said, “Oh, you! Didn’t you come to me just to give me the flowers?”Seeing that Matthew had not given the female guest the flower, she thought that he had forgotten the flow of the program. So she reminded him kindly, “Mr. Henderson, if you like female guest No. 5, please give her the roses you are holding. According to the flow, the Q&A session will follow.”The audience’s cheers rose. “Give her the flowers, give her the flowers…”If things went along like this, female guest No. 5 would be the first female guest to take off her mask and successfully hold hands with the male guest.Matthew turned around to look at the host. “You’ve misunderstood. I don’t like No. 5. I just feel that she’s very si

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. Rachel and Serena were told to sit tight and wait for the good news.Scarface had a well-thought-out plan and got his hands on Christina before long.

Serena lost everything. She had no choice but to work as a bargirl to survive.Scarface was the person in charge of the bar she worked at. The ruthless man had pretty much slept with every woman who worked at his place. Naturally, Serena could not escape from that fate either.Serena was different from other bargirls.

“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

Suzy felt guilt-ridden and knew she was not in the position to demand anything from Christina. However, her mother had gone mad. 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. Christina would reject him for the sake of the child in her sister’s belly.At this moment, he was thinking of how everything was falling apart at this moment even after he had consistently pursued her all these years. He stood there in a daze for a long time before finally heaving a sigh.Perhaps this was their destiny. Suzy cried for a
