A Complicated Romance Chapter 412
“Based on the fact that the child in your belly is mine!” Michael started to lose his composure.Sean gave an ironic mock. “This won’t come in the way between my marriage with Christina!”“Stop taking advantage of the situation, Sean, and act like a gentleman for once.”“I’m pretty sure that this has nothing to do with whether I’m a gentleman or not, President Larson. Moreover, you have no right to talk about being a gentleman after what you’ve done.”“Anyway, I’ll never allow you to marry Christina! Never!”“We shall watch and see.” Sean turned a blind eye towards Michael’s fury. “Excuse me, President Larson. Duty calls.”Michael felt himself going crazy as he watched Sean leave, yet he could not help but let out a soft murmur in defeat. “I would’ve killed you if you weren’t the one who took care of my wife and children, Young!”“What a scene you’ve made, President Larson!” Michael turned his head around and blushed the moment he saw Christina. He then let out a dry laugh. “Is

Having packed her suitcase, Suzy was ready to head for the airport. Winona was there to see her off in person.“Mom, I’m leaving now.” In fact, she was reluctant to leave, and even more reluctant to separate from her mother with whom she had just reunited with. She had no idea when she would return from overseas.“Kid, you’ve got to take care of yourself when you’re overseas. Call me if you need anything.” Winona acted reluctant to part with Suzy when she was in fact longing for her to leave as soon as possible.She felt that having Suzy around was like a huge burden as she could not do things freely. She was afraid that she might accidentally show her slip in her speech. To appease Suzy, Winona personally drove her to the airport and helped her with check-in before sending her to the departure lounge. It was only after the airplane had taken off that Winona was finally relieved. The weight on her shoulders was finally lifted, and with that, she left the airport while humming a

As soon as Sean came to his senses, he first pulled open the car door. “Quickly get out of the car and take a look!”“She has stopped breathing.” The chauffeur turned the woman’s head carefully and placed his hand in front of her nose. Sean was taken aback the instant he touched the victim’s face. “It’s her!”“Do you know her?”“Yes! Her body is still warm. Send her to the hospital first. She might have a chance of surviving!” Sean ordered.Despite the bloodstains on Suzy’s body, Sean carried her into the car with the chauffeur’s help before the chauffeur started the car and headed for the hospital.After they had arrived at a nearby hospital, a doctor rushed out to wheel Suzy into the operating room.Sean did recognize the girl, but he only knew her by sight.He had attended a meeting in Perth a few years back. His schedule that day was quite hectic and because of traffic congestion, he arrived late at the hotel where a meeting was held. Accompanied by his entourage, he was in

Winona and Serena came to the hospital surreptitiously at midnight.With only a handful of miscellaneous staff around, the hospital was very quiet at that time. Though on Winona’s way to the operating room, she ran across a nurse who was on duty. “Chief Physician Harris, are you here because something has come up?”Deep down, Winona felt that it was very unlucky of her to come across someone she knew. In fact, she had chosen a night slot for the operation in order to hide the truth. Although Winona was annoyed, she still plastered a smile on her face. “I left something in the hospital, so I came to take it.” The nurse believed her and politely said goodbye to her. Soon, Winona opened the door of the operating room and went inside. A few minutes later, Serena had also arrived at the operating room with Sophia’s company. “Did you meet anyone on your way here?”“No,” Sophia replied.Winona was relieved to hear that. She then instructed Serena to lie on the operating table. They ha

When Michael entered the room, he happened to spot the notification for Matthew’s incoming call on Christina’s phone screen light up.He glanced at the bathroom door which was shut tight, but he could hear Christina and Travis singing while bathing.Michael was disgusted with Matthew’s behavior. Matthew was already engaged, so why was he still calling Christina?Hiding his bitterness, Michael swiped his finger on the screen to pick up the call.Matthew began to speak, not knowing that it was Michael who answered the call. “Christina, Michael that b*stard went to America to disturb you, didn’t he?” The corner of Michael’s mouth twitched, and he replied angrily, “What makes you think that I came here to disturb Christina?”Matthew got the shock of his life as he did not expect Michael to pick up the call. “Why are you the one answering the call? Where’s Christina?”A thought struck Michael after he threw a sideways glance at the bathroom door. Curling his lip upwards, he replied,

Rachel was snuggling idly on the couch in her room. When she saw Matthew’s name pop up on the notification on her phone, her heart leaped right away.Matthew rarely called her on his own initiative. He did ask her about Christina’s affair yesterday, and it made her feel very uneasy. Even so, she feigned enthusiasm when reporting Christina’s and Travis’s condition to him. She had also told him that Sean and Christina were getting married so that he would stop having feelings for Christina. At that time, Matthew’s tone was very cold. Rachel knew that he was upset about Christina’s upcoming marriage, but time would heal everything. She believed that he would forget about Christina in no time and be ready to marry her. Michael should have just gotten to work at this time and since he was calling her, could it be because he had given up completely after finding out that Christina was getting married? Which prompted him to think about his fiancée and how well he wanted to treat her?R

Matthew felt a growing sense of unease the moment he hung up the phone, and he immediately called Sean to ask about the matter. Based on Sean’s explanation, Old Madam Young was afraid that Michael would escalate the matter, so she made him stay in the Young family’s house for the time being. Moreover, Christina had no intentions to get together with Michael again nor allow him to acknowledge Travis.Upon hearing Sean’s words, Matthew finally let out a sigh of relief. “Sean, please take care of Christina and her son. Don’t let Michael hurt them.”Sean knew that Matthew always had Christina in his mind. “Don’t worry. With my presence, no one can hurt them.” Matthew gave the matter some thought. “The biggest problem now is that Christina will undoubtedly lose to Michael in a child custody battle, so we have to come up with a solution as soon as possible. The best is to immigrate Christina and Travis to America, then Michael won’t be able to do anything about it.”“Don’t worry about

“Sean, you must keep a watchful eye on Rachel. She’s envious that I like Christina, so she’s thinking about harming her. Since she has done it once, she’ll definitely do it the second time. You must protect Christina well.”Sean remained silent for a moment before he replied, “I got it.”After all, Sean and Rachel were a family. No matter how bad his cousin was, he could not bear bad-mouthing her in front of Matthew. Even today, he still dared not tell Matthew about the previous incident where Rachel secretly called the police and caused trouble for Christina.If Matthew found out about affairs like this, he would definitely cancel his plan to marry Rachel and never forgive her. Meanwhile, Heather was lying on the couch watching television alone. The house was getting quieter, but if she had a child to keep her company, she would not be leading such a dull life.Serena then crossed Heather’s mind when she was thinking about the child. Heather wondered if she was able to get pregn

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.

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.

“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. 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
