A Complicated Romance Chapter 468
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

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

Christina interrupted, “Michael, your mother’s not one to keep her word. You probably shouldn’t take her promises seriously.”“It’s serious this time. You don’t have to worry about her. I won’t let her affect you either.”Michael expressed his desire eagerly. “Christina, you’re expecting now. Travis was born without a father. Do you want the same for this child too?” She remained silent for a while before replying. “I’ll try talking to Travis but he’s not really your biggest fan right now. As for us, I think it’s better to leave it and just go with the flow.” He had nothing more to say after that. He could not rush into solving the conflict with her because she was greatly discouraged after all the pain. It was not something he could resolve with a few simple words. It was more important right now to stop Travis from disliking him. Matthew drove to the hotel Rachel was staying. She was delighted to see him. “Matthew, I’m surprised to see you here.” “Rachel!” He glared at her

“I really couldn’t spare the time.” Serena was reluctant to meet Rachel.Her mother had told her to be extra cautious at this time and avoid inviting trouble. Naturally, she needed to be careful. “Miss Garcia, I have something important to talk to you about. Let me remind you that it’ll be your loss if you refuse to meet me. This might even cause you to lose Michael forever.”Hearing this made Serena uneasy. Was Rachel speaking the truth or was she simply trying to frighten her? Would she really miss out on crucial information if she refused to meet her? Rachel thought it was strange that Serena was hesitating. What was she afraid of?Finally, Serena chose to meet with Rachel in a coffee shop near the Garcias’ residence. Rachel hurried there as quickly as possible but Serena was still nowhere in sight. She was rather annoyed. What was Serena playing at? The coffee shop was right across her doorstep but she still did not show up on time?She was still annoyed when Serena walked th

Christina had been pregnant for quite some time now, so Rachel thought this was already a piece of common news. It appeared that Heather had kept Serena in the dark. “Miss Garcia, Christina’s expecting again. If this baby is brought into the world, then she would have two children with Michael. Are you following me?”Serena was dazed for a long time, trying to digest the news of Christina’s pregnancy. This was shocking. She was still overjoyed about her own pregnancy when suddenly this news hit her like a bombshell.‘Christina, why do you always have to go against me?’Rachel smiled at her. “Miss Garcia, I come here today to discuss a perfect solution with you.”“What do you have in mind?” Serena was brought back to reality. Her cheeks burned from having embarrassed herself in front of Rachel earlier.She was not experienced enough in comparison. Rachel was about the same age as her but she was already an astute, sly fox.First, she had to verify if the news of Christina’s preg

“Winona?” Michael was taken aback.He had suspected that Winona could be Suzy’s mother, but Suzy denied that herself. If so, why did she stay in touch with the woman so often? There was something fishy about this.The more Michael thought about Suzy ringing up Christina to lie to her, the more uneasy he felt. He tried suppressing his emotions as he described what happened the night Suzy invited him out for dinner. “What do you think?”“Suzy did that?” Logan was evidently surprised. He spent quite a fair amount of time with her in the past and had a good impression of her. He found it difficult to believe something like this happened out of the blue.“Christina doesn’t lie. Suzy must’ve rung her up. What do you think her motive is?”“Is it possible that Suzy… was bribed by Madam?” Logan asked tentatively.“That’s what I thought too, but what’s the reason she forced me to get drunk? To provoke Christina so she would leave?” Michael reckoned that was too much fuss if it was just for

Michael and Logan left the company immediately, hoping to find an answer from the driver back then. In the end, the hotel management told them they did not have a staff who matched their description.Michael was completely astonished. Suzy was the one who hired that driver that night. Evidently, she had been plotting against him since before the dinner started.Since he already discovered someone was intentionally scheming against him, then there was no point to continue searching for that driver. He left the hotel without a word.“President Larson, what should we do now?” Logan realized the seriousness of the issue.“Let’s go home!” the man replied.“Madam is not well…” Logan was worried that Michael would argue with Heather at home, so he reminded him about her condition. Michael shook his head. “There’s no point arguing anymore. I just want to go home to find out what happened that night.”“It’s unlikely Madam will tell you anything if she’s the mastermind behind this.”“Some

Winona did not feel like she could trust Heather. The latter was an untrustworthy person who only cared about immediate benefits. It was possible she might go back on her words anytime now that she had already acquired the stadium construction project. “Umbilical cord blood can be used to cure leukemia, but it’s not a sure-proof solution. You’ll have to see if it’s a match.”Heather was taken aback. “What? What do you mean by that?” She did not know much about these medical terms.“The umbilical cord blood of a sibling from the same parents only increases the chances of being a match, but it’s not guaranteed.”Frustration rocked through Heather. “What should we do, then? What would happen to Travis if the child Christina’s carrying isn’t a match?”“Don’t get too worried for now. I’m just talking about a probability. I didn’t say it’s definitely going to fail. Besides, Serena’s also expecting Michael’s child. If Christina’s baby doesn’t match the boy’s, then we can try Serena’s.”

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. Even in dire straits, she still maintained a certain grace that made her stand out from the crowd.Scarface spotted her on her first day at the bar. He ordered his men to drag her into the private room and tortured her the entire night.She resisted in the beginning. However, without anyone to depend on, she had no choice but to give into Scarface’s tyrannical abuse.Several times later, he found himself attracted to her. Every night, he would ask for her instead of other women.Serena, who could not escape from him, gave in eventually. She even ended up becoming his lover.By doing so, she found someone t

“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
