A Complicated Romance Chapter 462
Heather urged Winona to keep it a secret as she wanted to let Serena nurse herself back to health first. When the time came, she would let her son in on Serena’s pregnancy and get Serena and Michael’s marriage settled. With that, there was nothing Christina could do about it. Winona came to observe Heather’s attitude this time. To her relief, Heather was rather enthusiastic about Serena’s pregnancy. After that, Heather talked about the bidding for the sports project with her again. Now that bidding of the sports project had begun, Heather was undoubtedly concerned about it. She heard that Matthew had found a team of Westerners with a background in design. Even though Michael hired Joshua Carlin as the chief designer, Heather felt uneasy about it as things were unpredictable. During the development project last time, Heather and Michael were under the impression that they had decisively won, yet it turned out that they lost to Matthew. In this regard, they could not afford to drop t

Before the new project commenced, a media conference was held, as usual. Matthew and Michael attended the conference punctually. The both of them were confident and breezy, and they greeted each other with a nod. Most people that did not know them would have thought that they were friends or even besties. Christina sat in front of the television and watched them act flawlessly on the live conference. She could not help but feel amazed that entrepreneurs were excellent at acting, and their acting level was close to that of a professional actor. Both companies organized a joint wine party at night. However, Matthew missed Christina, so he let Fred attend the party on behalf of him, and Matthew went to Beverley Villa to find Christina. Francis and Ariel were at Beverley Villa too. Francis even prepared various dishes to celebrate the return of Christina and Travis. Once Matthew entered the villa, Francis and Christina congratulated him. Travis followed them and congratulated Mat

The next day, Rachel went to Matthew’s Beverley Villa. Christina was shocked upon seeing her, but she still welcomed Rachel respectfully. No matter what, Rachel was Matthew’s rightful fiancée. Rachel’s attitude did not change, and she walked in with a straight face, even Christina greeted her warm-heartedly. “Christina, you came to stay with my fiancé secretly while you hide from my brother. What are you trying to do?” Christina acted calmly. “I didn’t keep anything from him. Sean knows that I’m here. He even called Matthew yesterday night just to ask him to take care of Travis and me.” Rachel choked, which made her expression look terrible. “Men are possessive, and thus no man would let another man take care of his woman. Don’t you understand? Besides, you had a relationship with Michael before, as well as scandals with Matthew back then. Although my brother didn’t lecture you, shouldn’t you be staying out of this?” “Miss Young, you’re worrying too much. I know Sean, and he’

“Christina, Michael is Travis’ father. Even if you’re divorced, your ex-husband still has the responsibility to pay you and your son compensation fees. Why do you always reject him? Back then, I didn't understand no matter how much I thought about it, but now, I finally understood.” “What did you understand?” “Christina, you’re the typical example of a greedy woman. You’re playing with Michael, my brother, and Matthew. To have a relationship with three men at once, making them willing and pleased to commit to you. Do you have a sense of accomplishment?” Her expression changed. Initially, Christina did not favor Rachel, so she went hard on Rachel. “Miss Young, I have a clear conscience on what I have done. However, you’re the one who did a lot of bad things behind Matthew’s back. Aren’t you afraid of him finding out?”Christina had taken a step back, but Rachel still wanted to irritate her. Thus, naturally, she did not need to be courteous to her. “You stay in my fiancé’s house
A Complicated Romance Chapter 466
When Michael appeared at the villa with toys he had bought for Travis, the boy was crying on Christina’s shoulder. Tears streamed down like a waterfall as he sobbed. Michael bolted forward. “What’s the matter? Why is Travis crying?” Travis wiped his tears as he saw Michael. Then, he then ran to his bedroom to take his water blaster and aimed it at Michael. “You’re a bad guy. Leave. Momma and I don’t want to see you!” Michael was drenched the moment he was about to utter something. With an angry face, Travis aimed the water blaster at him. “Bad guy. Hurry up and leave. I’ll shoot you if you don’t leave.” Although Michael was clueless, he could see that Travis was frustrated. The kid had no ulterior motives, so he just did what he wanted to do, and now, he was hostile toward Michael. “What happened?” Michael shifted his gaze to Christina. “Rachel made a scene just now, she told Travis about your relationship to him.” Christina smiled bitterly, and up until now, she did not
A Complicated Romance Chapter 467
“Michael, what happened to you?” Heather was bemused, but Michael stood up and pushed Heather to the study room with him. Michael then closed the door and sighed. “Mom, Travis knows that I’m his father.” “Isn’t this a good thing?” Upon hearing this, Heather was on cloud nine. “When are you going to bring him home?” “Bring him home? Mom, how could you think this is a simple thing?” Bitterly, Michael smiled. “Travis hates me for abandoning them. He took his water blaster and aimed it at me. He said I’m a big liar, too.” Michael could not go on because Travis’s angry expression and voice were lingering in his mind. Words could not describe how he felt. “It’s all because of Christina. If she had told Travis about the truth early, would he look at you like you’re his enemy?” Heather looked at her son’s desperation, and of course, she blamed everything on Christina. “Mom, it has nothing to do with Christina. Now I know why Christina wouldn't let me meet with Travis, not because she

Michael sighed quietly upon detecting the hostility in Travis’s eyes. “Where’s Christina?” “She left to get groceries,” Francis replied. “Uncle, don’t speak to the big fat liar. Get him out of here quick!” Travis pointed at Michael, his little face twisted in anger. “You better leave now to prevent further aggravating the boy. He can’t take any more of this!” Michael dared not infuriate his son more so he turned around and left the living room. He planned to wait for Christina outside of the villa. A brief moment later, he heard a commotion behind him. He looked over his shoulder to see Travis chucking the things he bought out of the house. The little boy could not carry all of the things at once so he made three separate trips before he threw everything Michael bought on the floor. Then, when he was done, he slammed the door shut behind him. Michael forced a smile. The little boy had definitely inherited his mother’s bad temper. He bent down to pick up everything Travis
A Complicated Romance Chapter 469
Christina saw Michael standing by the door by the time she returned from grocery shopping. There were several bags filled with food and toys left on the floor. She knew what happened without having to ask. “Travis is not taking this well at the moment. You should visit another time.” “Christina, I want to talk to you. Properly,” Michael pleaded. “About what?” she asked. “About Travis. About us.” “You saw it yourself that he’s reluctant to see you. As for us, there’s nothing left to talk about.” Her words were laced with indifference. “Christina, you mentioned you don’t want my apologies anymore and neither do I. What I want to say is we should get back together and get married right away for the sake of our children.” “Have you lost your mind?” “No, I’ve thought it through. Travis is rejecting me now because he thinks I abandoned the two of you. I want to change his impression of me.” “You want to get back together with me to change his impression of you?” she scoffed

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.

“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
