Jess was too soft, so that was why she would give in to her unfair destiny. However, Rachel would not. She would make her own luck.Worst came to worst, even if Rachel could not have Matthew’s love, she would still hold onto his body firmly. After all, men were all the same!Previously, Old Madam Young realized that Rachel was trying to set Christina up. As such, her pure and innocent image in the old madam’s heart had crumbled. Luckily, Sean did not know about this. Otherwise, he would surely go against her.Although Old Madam Young would not intervene in their family issues, no one dared look down on her status. A single word from her could decide the appointment and the removal of the company’s higher-ups.Rachel still needed support from her. Plus, the old madam did not express her dislike to outsiders, so their relationship looked just the same as before.She bought some fruits and supplements for Old Madam Young, but the servant told her that Sean and Old Madam were discussi
Old Madam Young had met Travis before in the hospital, and she did hear the doctor say that the best way to treat his disease was by using umbilical cord blood. Therefore, the old madam quickly thought of a possibility.“Did Christina go back to Perth to find Michael?”Sean nodded to admit it.“Travis is Michael’s son?” The old madam’s expression changed. “Was Christina chased out by them when she was pregnant? They really are a bunch of scum!”“Keep your voice low, Grandma. Christina doesn’t want a lot of people to learn about it.” Sean quickly reminded the old madam as he was afraid that someone would hear her because of her ear-piercing voice.“Don’t sweat it. It’s quiet here. No one will hear it.”Behind the door, Rachel’s hand stopped when she was about to knock on it. Then, she stuck her ear near the door carefully.“Michael is cold-blooded indeed. Christina called Michael to ask for help, but he rejected her directly because he was busy with his engagement to Serena.“Mi
Heather could not let Christina step foot into their house, so she had to stop them.Winona was anxious because Michael had taken precautions against them, so everything they wanted to do could not escape his eyes.Suddenly, Winona came up with an idea. She had almost forgotten about Suzy. Michael would not have his guard up with Suzy because she was very close to him.After Christina thought about it thoroughly, she went to tell Francis about Michael wanting to remarry her. However, Francis’ expression was awful. “Christina, I don’t agree!”Back then, Francis would support Christina no matter what her decisions were, but this time, he disagreed because Michael had hurt her too deeply.Christina explained to him, saying, “Uncle, I didn’t agree to his proposal because of myself. I did it for my son.”“You don’t necessarily need to do this if it’s for your son. Sean or Matthew will treat Travis like their own son, so why do you need to believe in Michael’s words and marry him?”Ch
While they were conversing, Christina curved her lips when she saw two familiar figures walking into the restaurant. Michael said that he could not accompany her because there were some problems with his company, yet he had time to have dinner with Suzy. What a joke.Christina recalled Michael’s sweet talk during their time together. He even proposed to her last night and swore that he would treat her right forever.Her laugh deepened. Fortunately, Christina had yet to make her decision, and luckily, she was having this dinner with Matthew. It was because of this opportunity that she could witness how this deceitful man would lie to her.Matthew followed Christina’s gaze, and when he saw Michael with Suzy, he laughed indifferently. Michael was bonding with his side chick while wanting to remarry Christina.No one thought that there would be such a coincidence today. Matthew was pondering in his heart as he took a glimpse at Christina just to see her expression growing dark.Christ
“Miss Garcia, don’t stand at the roadside. Come in.” Suzy invited her.Serena looked at Michael pitifully. “Michael, can I?”Michael scowled, then said with a cold voice, “Get in.”“Thank you, Michael.” Serena climbed into the car. She hung her head low because she did not dare to look at Michael’s expression.Michael did not feel well since getting out of the restaurant. Hence, he leaned on his seat and quickly dozed off.Heather and Winona waited impatiently in the house, and finally, they saw Suzy and Serena bringing Michael back home. Both of them were over the moon because their plan could succeed tonight.Suzy left after she was done with her task. Then, Heather hinted at Serena to go for a quick shower because nothing could go wrong tonight.Serena knew it in her heart, yet she still needed to act in front of Heather.Serena did not have to have sex with Michael tonight. All she needed was to fake a scenario where they had slept together. Then, she would proceed to make
Knock, knock, knock.Heather brought breakfast into his room after she knocked. “Michael, breakfast’s ready.”Michael frowned. “Why am I here?”“You were drunk yesterday. It was Serena who sent you back home.” Heather did not let him know what happened yesterday. It was not too late for Heather to let him know after Serena got pregnant like how she had discussed with Winona and Serena.If Serena could not get pregnant and Heather exposed it too early to Michael, her son would be furious. Michael did not know that Serena had rushed to the hospital before the sun was up to do a test tube baby.Michael sat up and massaged his forehead, only to realize he was naked. “Mom, where are my clothes?”“You smelled awful yesterday. I took your clothes off and washed them for you.” Heather explained to him.“How did I get drunk?” Michael’s stomach was weak, and that was why he dared not drink too much liquor. Moreover, Michael only had three glasses of wine while he was having dinner with Su
At the crack of dawn, Christina rushed to the hospital without having breakfast. The doctors were still not on duty and the corridor was almost empty. There were only a few people queuing.Christina stood at the entrance to wait for her doctor after she made an appointment. Then, Christina caught a vaguely familiar voice coming from behind.“Mom, will it go wrong this time?”“Don't worry, Serena. It won’t go wrong this time.”Christina turned around just to see Sophia and Serena in the hospital’s corridor.“Aunty Winona is here. We don’t need to queue up, so why are we here so early?” Serena looked unwell because she had left the Larsons’ household at 3 a.m. Therefore, Serena was suffering from severe sleep deprivation.“Aren’t you worried about such an important thing? I just don’t know what to say to you!”“Anyway, we got Aunty Winona. There won’t be an issue, so what’s the rush?” Serena looked unhappy that Sophia had woken her up and brought her to the hospital this early.T
Christina was so emotional that she almost cried. Christina immediately called Sean once she got out of the outpatient department and shared the good news with him.“Is it?” Sean’s voice sounded complicated as if he was happy for Christina but in a sad manner. “That’s great. We can cure Travis’ disease now.”“Yes, I’m so happy. I can finally save my son!” Christina started to sob.Travis heard Christina’s voice. “Momma, when are you coming back to see me?”“Good boy, I’m coming back right now. Momma isn’t going to be apart from you again.”“Yeah!” Travis was over the moon. “Momma, Sean said he has a surprise for you!”“What surprise?”“Uncle Sean will tell you once you’re back.”Michael’s missed call notification popped out on Christina’s phone right after she hung up. However, she did not bother about it. Christina took a cab and went straight back to Oak Lake Villa because she wanted to pack up and leave.There were not many of her things here because Christina never planned
