A Complicated Romance Chapter 95
“That’s right! Bill is a horrible man to have tricked Christina like that. He deserves a good punishment for what he did!” Sophia echoed. In actuality, she became more concerned. If the police had really caught Bill, then her scheme with Ninth Brother would come to light too.“John, did they get the man yet?”“Not yet! Those useless rubbish in the police station still couldn’t find a lead after three days. It’s so frustrating!”Sophia felt slightly reassured after hearing that. Ninth Brother mentioned that those people held multiple identities as Bill Hunt was a fake identity too. Hopefully, the police would never find out the truth or catch the culprit.Christina could have left the hospital after one night but Matthew had forced her to stay for two more just in case.She felt fine physically but mentally, she was scarred. Her terrible experience with men before made it difficult for her to trust men but this time, when she had finally put the past behind and opened up, she was

Christina tried again with patience. “Alright, Matthew, why are you calling me at this hour?”“Can’t I just speak to you?”“Fine! Speak away, I’m listening.”“Why don’t you do the talking and I’ll listen?”“I don’t know what to say to you,” she replied.“Tell me something that makes me happy!” He was being unreasonable.“What’s the matter with you? For drinking so much?”“I did drink, and I drank a lot…” He burped. “Christina, I like you. Do you know that I like you…”She rolled her eyes. This guy was evidently too drunk that his talkative side had taken over him. “Christina, I really like you. Why don’t you like me back? Why?”She refused to reply, and on the other side, he did not know if he should laugh or cry. “Christina, I just want you to show me a glimmer of hope. I don’t mind that you’ve had a divorce before, I don’t mind anything…”“Matthew, you’re drunk. Go to sleep!”“I don’t want to sleep. I want to hear you say that you like me. I want you to like me…” His voi

Christina had been to Matthew’s house before, so she was familiar with the way. The car drove steadily and pulled to a halt in front of his house.Tailing behind them, Michael did not look happy.When the car door opened. Matthew, who had been keeping his eyes closed, finally spoke, “I thought you wouldn’t come for me tonight.”“Did I have the choice?” She was annoyed. After all, how could she take the risk of offending her boss?“Christina, I know you like me, right? Even for a little bit?”His words had caught her by surprise and her body tensed up. Even the movements in her hands slowed down.He leaned back against the seat with his eyes closed and muttered to himself, “I’m handsome, rich, young, and successful. No woman can escape my charm. Christina, when did you fall for me?”She did not know what to comment on the man’s exceptional ego.“Matthew, I don’t like you. Stop talking nonsense!”“No, you definitely like me. There’s no reason for you to not feel that way. You’re

Matthew could still feel the heat of the slap on his cheek but he was not furious at all. What a great deal was it to exchange a slap for a kiss.Driving away, Michael could not stop replaying the image of Christina and Matthew kissing in his mind, and the heavy feeling in his chest grew more uncomfortable.This must stop. He had to prevent Christina from getting together with Matthew.The latter was a notorious ignorant, rich playboy. Michael would not allow her to be someone like him. After pondering for several moments, he realized that Matthew’s greatest weakness was his lust for women. As long as he could get leverage against him, then things would be much easier.With that, he retrieved his cell phone and called the assistant. “Matthew has a model girlfriend. Find a way to bring her to Jade City.”Christina slapped the man forcefully, leaving behind a clear print even after one night.The next morning at work, Matthew deliberately turned his swollen cheek at the woman but

Christina hugged the document in front of her chest and smiled politely. “Thanks to your mentoring, President Henderson!”Her words annoyed Matthew greatly, but she felt satisfied upon seeing the fury on his face.From picking up and having dinner with Yara, she had made everything up. He shouted many things when he was met with an accident the other day anyway and he really could not recall the things he had said.Christina was mad at him for using alcohol as an excuse to force a kiss on her last night, so this was her small revenge. However, after she had slapped him last night and deliberately frustrated him today, she finally felt that justice had been done.Coincidentally, Yara had called her when she returned home last night. “Assistant Williams, why can’t I reach Matthew on his phone?”“I don’t know,” she simply replied as she was not in a good mood. “Inform President Henderson that I’ll be heading to Jade City for work tomorrow.” A sense of superiority was obvious in h

Confused, Yara threw another glance at Christina. Why would Matthew bring his assistant to the dinner date?She was slightly displeased but could not find a good reason to voice her annoyance. Her gaze toward Christina turned suspicious.Christina was not an insensible person. She too felt awkward for becoming Yara’s target when she had done nothing wrong. Matthew was truly cunning to put her through this. If she knew, she should not have been so eager about this last night.Not long after they settled down in the private room, the dishes were served. Perhaps Matthew did this intentionally but he kept placing more food onto Christina’s place while he was still affectionate toward Yara. “Assistant Williams, I remember this being your favorite. Have some more.”She felt the coldness in Yara’s eyes once the man said this. The corners of her lips twitched into an embarrassed smile. “You remember wrongly, President Henderson. I don’t like to eat this but they are Miss Yara’s favorite…”

Christina called Matthew once she got into the taxi and told him that she had to leave early because something had happened back home. He flew off the handle at that. “Don’t be asking for your bonus this month!” Yara was finally happy upon hearing that. This assistant was not at all insensible after all. Now that the third wheel was out of the picture, she could do something naughty with the man.“Darling, where are we going later?”He smiled gently. “I’ll send you back to the hotel.”She was disappointed as she knew instantly that he was going to leave after sending her back. Had she been too arrogant before that the man had lost his interest?She deliberately played hard to get the last time she was at Jade City for a day to shoot a drama. It was expected that Matthew would be so obsessed that he would call her constantly after that.However, she had been waiting since then but she still had yet received a call from that man. It was as if he had completely forgotten about her.

“There’s something else I need to take care of so I brought the date forward!” Sean explained.Christina was so over the moon after ending the phone call that she forgot about Matthew. She was delighted to see her darling son tomorrow.She must first do some cleaning around the house but after checking the entire place, she realized that nothing much needed to be done. Disappointed, she sat down on the bed.Travis and Sean were used to living the good life abroad. What if they could not accustom themselves to staying at this small and lousy house?This mixed feeling accompanied her the entire night. The following afternoon, she and Francis went to pick up Travis at the airport.Travis, having not seen his mother for a long time, was on cloud nine as he threw himself into her arms. Francis also shared the same excitement. “Come here, Travis, come to uncle.”The boy freed himself from Christina’s embrace and greeted the man. Smiling, the latter carried the boy up in the air and kis

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. Her head was covered with a black cloth as they forcefully pushed her into the van.Serena and Rachel were already at the agreed-upon location when Scarface instructed Christina to step out of the vehicle. The latter’s belly was round, and both of her hands were

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
