Michael was not offended. He rushed off to wash his hands before returning to Christina. “I’ve washed them so they’re clean now.” She ignored him because it did not matter if he washed his hands or not. The filth she meant referred to the fact that those hands had touched Serena countless times before. She despised herself for thinking that. They were officially divorced and she had decided to not have any connections with this man anymore. Therefore, who he chose to be with and whose hands he chose to hold were really none of her business. In spite of that, why would the thought of Michael and Serena sleeping together still disgust her and make her uncomfortable? Michael kept his hand near her lips anyway. Eventually, she could not hold it in much longer and bit down on his flesh. He grunted in pain but did not move away. The doctor, who had no idea of the truth, gave him the thumbs up. “Young man, not bad. You treat your girlfriend well!” “I don’t know him and I’m not his
Serena, who was already asleep, was annoyed to be woken up by the incoming call. Impatience took over her when she noticed the caller ID. “What is it?” “I saw Christina at the hospital!” She failed to control her composure. “Why should I care?” Wendy lowered her voice. “She’s injured. It was Michael who brought her to the hospital!” “What?” This made Serena jump out of bed. She instantly lost the intention to sleep. “Did you say Michael accompanied Christina to the hospital? Are you certain of what you saw?”“No doubt. I even took photos! Michael carried her out of the ward himself and they drove away in the same car. Serena, I wouldn’t dare to disturb you at this hour if I wasn’t sure!” Serena clenched her teeth as a shadow veiled her features. “Keep an eye on them. Let me know right away if anything happens.” Wendy was caught in a difficult position, thinking about her injured boyfriend. “They already left the hospital and I’ve no idea where they’ve gone… Maybe you shoul
Sophia became more infuriated the more she spoke. She had been teaching her daughter all these years yet Serena still failed to seduce Michael into the bed. This was a total failure. “You can’t blame me for that. I’ve taken the initiative many times but what more can I do if Michael is too stubborn about touching me?” Serena felt very aggrieved. They finally persuaded John to push forward the marriage date but Christina appeared out of the blue to mess up the plan. This lowly woman participated in the matchmaking reality TV show and claimed to be with a child. She was just playing to the gallery, to provoke Michael so he would return to her side! Serena grumbled and complained incessantly. It was unlike the young lady image she tried to present to the public. Her words gave Sophia an idea. Suddenly, the latter grinned. “My daughter, I’ve got an idea.” “What is it?” “Since Christina’s part of the matchmaking show, that’s where we’re going to start with. By doing this…” A v
Unexpectedly, after half an hour since the phone call, someone came knocking on the door. Matthew rushed inside the second Francis opened the door. “What happened? Why were you injured all of a sudden?” He made sure to leave last night only after sending Christina to the entrance of the alley. “It’s nothing. I sprained my ankle after tripping over something by accident,” she replied. “I’ll send you to the hospital.” “I’ve already been. The doctor said it’s no big deal. I’ll recover after resting for several days.” Matthew was not reassured. He ignored Francis, who was standing by the side, carried Christina into his arms and hurried out of the house for the hospital.Michael waited in his car by the entrance of the alley the entire night. He had just bought breakfast from a store nearby and was about to deliver it to Christina. He was just heading back when he saw Matthew running out from the alley with the woman in his arms. “You look slim but you’re actually quite heav
Francis picked up the bottle of wine and opened it in a skilled manner. He smelled the aroma of the wine. “French Louis that has been kept in a cellar. I didn’t think I’d have the chance to drink such great wine again.” This caught Matthew by surprise and he looked at the other man with curiosity. “Uncle, you speak French?” The packaging of the wine was covered in French. How did Francis know this was a bottle of Louis? Did he learn French? The majority of people these days could speak English but not too many knew French. How would a laid-off worker like Francis living in the lower class of society be fluent in French? Francis smiled. “Stop pulling my leg, President Henderson. Why would I speak French? I overheard when you were speaking into the phone earlier.” Matthew did not recall if he mentioned the name of the wine just now. This was the only type of red he had in the office thus he would not have to specifically mention its name. Unaware of Matthew’s confusion, Fred
Matthew thought he probably did overthink it. Francis must have gone through higher education in order to learn French. If that was the case, then he would not be living among the lower class of the society, jobless. Due to the mobility inconvenience, Christina stayed on the couch with a book after lunch to kill time. All of a sudden, she was reminded of the frenzied way Michael interrogated her last night. Therefore, she retrieved her cell phone and went on the online forum. She was shocked by the discovery. The majority of the posts were insults directed at her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law. The people online claimed to have found out their identities so they could be punished accordingly. She was overwhelmed. Little did she expect things would get out of control so quick. What she yearned for right now was to live peacefully. It was never her intention to get revenge on Michael and Heather. This discussion was the last thing she would wish for. Immediately, she made a
The Larson family benefitted from the turn of events but that did not make Michael feel better. He showered insults at the assistant after seeing the news. “Who gave you the permission to call the broadcasting station?!” The assistant looked to the ground. “President Larson, I felt bad that the netizens are scolding you thus I called the station with the phone from your office. I’m sorry.” Rage was written all over Michael’s face. He would rather be scolded all his life than to see Christina getting matchmade with other men on the TV. Not to mention with over thousands of men at once. The assistant remained silent as he felt very aggrieved. However, he discovered the fact that President Larson was still in love with Christina. No man could handle watching the love of his life being paired up on the TV. The assistant deserved this reproach. Matthew was also infuriated by the news. “Nice one, Christina. Every man in the city is now waiting in line to be selected by you!”
Matthew felt truly embarrassed this time. Christina did not consider his feelings at all. He initially thought of probing her with a joke but ended up being consumed by rage. He leaned back into the chair. “I’m thirsty. Get me my tea now!” She grabbed the glass on the table and left the room. Something was being thrown to the ground behind her though she had no idea what. This young master had a poor attitude. They were just making jokes a minute ago and he suddenly hit the roof. This was no fun at all! Most importantly, she had no idea what she said that threw him off. His attitude toward her became poor after this incident. Not only did he pull a long face every time she entered his field of vision, he also tortured her by making her run all over the office to complete random tasks. Christina thought Matthew was definitely the pettiest man in existence. After this incident, she made a mental note that she should be more careful around him so as not to provoke the petty ma
