A Complicated Romance Chapter 447
Christina would rather bear the legal consequences of her actions than apologize to Heather.‘That prick! How could she be so stubborn! It’s just an apology and it’s not like I asked for her life!’ Heather thought to herself. Should she really put Christina in jail? After all, the woman was pregnant with her own grandchild. If her future grandchild learned that Heather was the one that had forced his mother to go to jail, Heather could only imagine the hate he would hold against her. It was just that what was done had already been done, and she could not change the past. Even if she regretted her actions, someone had to give her an out too.On the other hand, Michael did not even visit her, and she did not want to call him up to tell him what was on her mind. Just as Heather was getting anxious, her lawyer visited her at the hospital and told her that Christina’s lawyer had applied for the Royal Prerogative of Mercy and that Christina did not have to go to jail.Although Heather

Christina was currently safe. Just as John was about to buy his grandson a gift and visit them, he received a call from Winona.John did not have a good impression of Winona. “What do you want?”“I want to tell you something about Christina.”“Since when do you care about Christina?” John smiled coldly.Winona and Molly used to be enemies who hated one another, and something seemed off for Winona to suddenly take an interest in Christina’s affairs.“Do you know why Christina had a falling out with Michael?” Winona ignored his sarcasm.“You know?”“Of course I do. I saw Heather today and she told me everything about it.”John met Winona in a coffee shop, and she told him everything that had happened.“Michael had a mistress named Suzy. I’m pretty sure you heard about this. When she saw that Michael reconciled with Christina, Suzy started to hate him and drugged Michael...”The light from John’s face instantly died out the moment Winona opened her mouth. “What has this got to d

This commotion attracted the attention of other customers, and everyone laid their eyes on Winona. As she thought of John who was sitting inside the private room, she did not continue to make a fuss and left the coffee shop in a scurry.After she left, John walked out and left in a hurry too.“Hey, isn’t that Mayor John?” Ariel’s colleague pointed towards John when he left the place.Ariel cast a glance at the man. “Yeah.”“What’s he doing at a place like this?”“The Mayor is a human being too and has his own life. What’s wrong with him having a drink here?”“No, not that. Do you remember the fierce woman who hit the waiter earlier on? She came out from the same private room.”Ariel had seen Winona hitting the waiter earlier on and did not put too much thought into it. Since her colleague mentioned it, she realized that something was off. It did not seem normal for Winona to meet up with John.John headed straight home after he left the coffee shop. Seeing his return, Sophia we

“If you don’t want anyone else to know what you’ve done, then you shouldn’t have done it at all in the first place. Don’t you understand this?”“What’s going on?” Sophia pretended to look panicked as she rushed over to them.“Look at what you’ve taught your daughter to do.” If looks could kill, Sophia would be dead by now.“It’s all my fault, Pops! This has nothing to do with mother. She doesn’t know about anything so you should scold me instead!” Serena knelt dramatically on the floor with a loud thud. “I’ll explain to Christina that none of this is Michael’s fault!”“Explain what? Do you think your explanation would mend their relationship?”John looked disgustedly at Serena. “Don’t you ever think of leaving this house from now onward!” After saying this, John furiously rushed into his study and shut the door. As Sophia reached her hands out to pick Serena up, the duo shared a look and let out a satisfied grin.On the other side, Ariel headed back to Matthew’s villa after she

“Wouldn’t Sophia go mad if John really is cheating on her with Winona?” Matthew became interested in the topic. “Looks like I better find someone to follow them and take pictures of their secret rendezvous!” “I agree!” Ariel lived for the chaos. “Both of them aren’t nice people anyway. Do you think they’ll end up in a fight with blood all over their fingers in the end?” Christina was not so interested in this. To her, her son’s illness mattered most, and everything else had nothing to do with her. “You’re just too stubborn, Christina,” Ariel mumbled. Christina could have lived on as the Mayor’s daughter, but she left her home to the mistress and the illegitimate daughter, allowing them to take over her position. If things had been up to Ariel, she would have fought with them to the bitter end. She would never have surrendered her position to them. Christina sighed. She knew that she had let Serena and Sophia off the hook by doing that, but her mother had just passed away. Alo

Although she was not in the picture, Ariel could not tolerate the evil deed Sophia and her daughter had done. Ariel was similar to Matthew in this aspect since he too found it hard to turn a blind eye to this. “I understand that you care about Christina a lot, it’s just that we should do things slow and steady. If we pay more attention to this, I believe that we will find a mistake no matter how careful they are.” “Does that mean you’ll look into this matter?” Ariel became excited. It had been some time since she wanted to expose Sophia, but she had not enough influence and power to do so. Having Matthew on her side was way better than tormenting herself to come up with a solution. “Yes.” Matthew nodded his head, “I’m not planning to pay much attention to John since he’s Christina’s father. No parent would hurt their children and I’m sure that this is the same case for Christina. On the other hand, Sophia isn’t her mother and we need to pay extra attention to her.” “Yeah. I thi

“To me, compared to that place, it feels more like home here.” Christina was blunt. She did not feel like seeing John in at all, yet she could not chase him away right in front of Travis. At that very moment, Francis came. Since Christina had moved into Matthew’s villa with Travis, Francis came over to help out as well. He was astonished to see John here, and his expression instantly darkened. “Why are you here?” Delighted at Francis’s appearance, Travis left John and ran toward Francis. “Granduncle, I just had some snacks. I’m not hungry yet, so you can cook later. Now play with me first.” “Alright. I’ll play with you for a while and cook later.” While speaking to Travis, Francis headed to the kitchen to put down the vegetables he had bought. Christina then stretched out her hands to take the vegetables. “Uncle Francis, go ahead and play with Travis. I’ll cook today.” “No need. I’d better do it since Travis likes my cooking.” “Granduncle cooks better than Mom. I want Gra

Christina did not want to see Francis and John come into conflict. In fact, her resentment toward John stemmed from her concern for him. When she was young, John was a good father in her eyes. Only because she had a good impression of him back then, she was unable to accept that he betrayed her mother. Even though Francis was just her uncle, he cared for her in a fatherly way. Compared to the Garcias, Francis had spent a longer time accompanying her ever since she left home. “You can leave first,” Christina said. From her words, John supposed that she was trying to chase him away on behalf of Francis. With that, he got even more furious and resented Francis even more strongly deep inside. John did not want to leave a negative impression on his grandson, so he swallowed his rage. “Travis, I’m going to visit you again tomorrow, okay?” “Okay. See you, Grandpa!” John turned his gaze to Francis before he left. “Thank you for taking care of Christina all these years. I’d like

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
