A Complicated Romance Chapter 431
”Travis, did you forget what Mommy told you? You can tell Mommy if you want anything, but don’t get too close to strangers. You’ll put yourself in danger.” “But Uncle Michael said that he is going to buy an airplane for me. He’s going to give me lots of toys!” “Mommy will tell Uncle Sean to buy those toys if you want them.” Travis immediately understood his mother’s words. “I understand, Mommy. I’ll tell Uncle Sean to buy those toys for me. I won’t tell Uncle Michael to buy them for me.” The smile on Michael’s face froze in an instant. What was the meaning behind Christina’s actions? Was he not allowed to get closer to his son? He did not know that Christina was threatened by Heather a while ago. Christina did not have a place to vent out her pent-up anger. If Travis was not beside Michael, she definitely would have fought with Michael. Michael was a two-faced man. That kind of man was so disgusting! Christina played with Travis for a while. Then, she looked at Michael co

Heather was shocked. However, she did not have any time to hesitate. That was the only thing she could do. Travis’s condition had stabilized, so he did not need to stay in the hospital every day as he could rest at home. It was that little guy’s birthday the day after. Christina and Sean went to the hospital to bring him back home. They even organized a birthday party for him. On that day, Travis received a lot of presents. As such, he was overjoyed. Travis had even made a wish while blowing the candles. He wished that Uncle Sean would become his father. Michael appeared at the door with gifts when they were eating cake. He had only known about Travis’s birthday moments prior. He rushed to the party right after he bought a gift. However, he overheard the little guy wishing that Sean would become his father. Michael’s face dimmed down in an instant. Rachel saw Michael standing at the door. She then smiled coldly. “Travis, why not call Uncle Sean as your Papa since you like h

Michael felt sorrowful upon remembering the vows Christina made on their wedding day. The tall man stood on the street with tears welled up in his eyes.Since when did he lose her?The assistant acted on the orders quickly. On the same day he received Michael’s phone call, he brought several bodyguards with him and flew all over to America to bring Heather home.Michael disappeared after leaving the Young residence. Heather failed to reach him on the phone, so did the assistant once he arrived in America.Travis’ birthday party was still going on. The servants in the house discovered the present left by the door and brought it inside.Inside the box was a massive toy plane model that Travis had always wanted.“Wow, Mommy, is this present from you?”Christina was astonished too as she had no idea who it was from. She suddenly remembered Travis mentioning it in front of Michael before. Could it be from him?Why did he leave silently after dropping off the present instead of comin

“I’m unforgivable to you, right?”Christina remained quiet. She knew what Michael did was not entirely unforgivable but… there were too many obstacles between the two of them. Serena, Suzy, Heather… The relationship did not belong to just the two of them anymore. It was destined to fail.For a short period of time, she almost wanted to forgive him and start things afresh, even if it was for the sake of the child. However, she gave up on the idea in the end.She should not have started in the beginning and gave each other false hope, knowing that it was doomed to fail anyway.“We can’t change fate. I’m not going to leap into the pit of fire knowingly because I’m no longer that fool I used to be.”“Pit of fire? Christina, do you think I betrayed you? But not once have I forgotten about our promises! My love for you has never changed!”“So what?” She asked. “You know things aren’t going to be the same anymore, so what’s the point?”She was not young anymore and could not afford t

Halfway through the vows, the butler called. “Young Master, something terrible happened. Travis has gone missing!”This shocked Christina and Sean greatly. They could not be bothered about the ceremony and rushed outside after mumbling a quick apology to the staff. They were anxious through the ride home. The butler was waiting by the door when they reached the Young residence.“What happened?”“Young Master, I’m sorry! It’s my fault! I walked away to make a cup of tea and Travis was nowhere to be found when I returned.”“Check the security footage right away!” Sean instructed. The footage showed that Travis picked up the phone in the living room when the butler walked away to make tea. It was unsure who was on the other end of the phone. He left the house alone after hanging up. There was a car parked outside the Young residence. Upon seeing Travis approaching, someone leaped out of the car and abducted the little boy before driving away.Who was that? Why did he want to abduct T

At Michael’s order, Logan escorted Heather to the airport personally for fear that she would come up with some strange ideas to extend her stay in America.Michael bought some alcohol and stayed in the hotel room after giving that order.Logan knew he was not feeling good because of Christina’s marriage, thus he did not want to disturb the man.Unexpectedly, Heather did not try to make a fuss this time and agreed to board the plane. However, she brought several doctors along with her, claiming that she might need treatment if she feels unwell during the flight.Logan agreed without thinking much about it.Indeed, another car was waiting by the airport when he dropped Heather off. Two doctors in white coats appeared with a child and they boarded the plane with Heather.He thought that was the doctor’s child, so he did not question more. He could not see the child’s face from a distance either.His mission was to send Madam home, and would not meddle in other affairs. He saw Heath

“Alright, I’ll think of a way to get Travis away from the Larson family. I won’t be kind if Heather dares to be irrational!”Matthew was boiling with fury.He knew Rachel was involved but he could not criticize her in front of Sean. He would not have agreed to engage her if he had known earlier that she was so cruel. He had no idea she was also behind this abduction, or he would be coughing up blood out of rage by now. After the call ended, Sean thought for a few seconds before calling Ariel too. He wanted her to pick Christina up from the airport and look for Travis together if possible.Sean finally went home after sorting out everything. Old Madam Young who was waiting anxiously at home went forward to receive him. “How’s it going? I heard from Rachel that Heather took Travis away. Is this true?”“That’s right! Logan said she boarded the plane with two doctors and a child. I’m certain that the kid is Travis.”“Heather is a troublemaker. How could she be so unreasonable?” Ol

Besides, Christina would undoubtedly go looking for Travis the minute the plane touched down. Heather was an unreasonable madwoman. Matthew figured Christina would be at a disadvantage if he was there to support her.Although Sean told him that Michael was furious about Heather’s behavior and promised Christina to bring Travis home, Matthew did not believe any of it.He knew Michael had never given up hope on Christina. Since Travis was with Heather, perhaps Michael might seize this opportunity to blackmail Christina into getting back with him.Anxiety rocked through him at the thought of Christina’s difficult situation. Immediately, he instructed Fred to check every major hospital in Jade City to see if Heather had checked the boy in any of them. Then, he hopped into the seat behind the wheels and sped along the highway toward the airport. Upon arrival, he locked the car and headed toward the entrance. He looked over his shoulder when someone called out his name from the back. Ar

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. She came from a prestigious family and was highly educated.

“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
