“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

The look on Sean’s face changed. “Don’t you worry about me. I’ll find a way to solve the problems.”“How? You’re just fooling yourself.” Matthew did not buy any of that. “You’re the most excellent heir of the Young family. The elders of your household have great expectations of you and they would never allow you to do anything reckless.”He suddenly changed the topic of the conversation. “But unlike you, I’ve been a good-for-nothing since young and everyone sees me as the useless second-generation rich kid. I can do anything I want without a care in the world!”“I can fight them till the end.” The light went out of Sean’s eyes.“But a woman’s youth is limited. Christina hasn’t got the time to fight alongside you.” Matthew let out a devilish smile. “Whereas in my case, if I say the child belongs to me, the old man will undoubtedly believe me and joyfully accept Christina into the family.”“Shameless prick!” Sean gave him a deathly glare. “Matthew, I’ll never let you off the hook if

Yara hung up on the phone in disappointment. Sean was in stitches while Matthew was so furious that his cheeks were flushed red like ripened tomatoes.The latter was displeased about Sean’s surprise visit back home. He had looked into it and discovered that there were no urgent matters waiting for him in the Young family. Hence only one explanation left — he must be back because of Christina.Michael was equally upset. No one knew the past between Christina and Sean better than him. She would not have broken up with Sean if Old Madam Young had not threatened it with her death.This had always troubled him greatly. Christina did not choose him because of love; she only did so to help Sean succeed.Although their relationship had improved tremendously after the marriage, Michael knew deep down that Sean remained a painful past in Christina’s heart.He had always protected this relationship carefully but it required more to maintain it. Christina’s heart was never with him.His eyeb

Christina was an attractive woman and John had a fondness for her beauty. Lured by the benefits, Matthew naturally seized this opportunity to use her as a bait to seduce John.What a prick Matthew was! Indeed, he did not truly love her but used her like a pawn. Michael knew all along that this playboy was up to no good!With that, he drove all the way to the old town to warn Christina.It was late, and Christina and Francis had been playing with Travis for the entire day. The boy had just gone to bed after taking a shower. Noticing that the milk in the fridge was running out, she decided to go get some.She stepped into the alley in her sleeping gown and slippers. Feeling as if she was being watched, she looked over her shoulder all of sudden only to find a car parked on the empty land.The window was up but she got a clear look of the person’s silhouette from the dim light in the car. Suddenly, a shudder passed through her.Christina could feel Michael’s dark gaze even from a di

Michael tossed and turned on the bed the entire night, unable to sleep in peace. He dreamed of a scene that happened many years ago when he met Christina in school. She was smiling radiantly like a beautiful flower as she dashed toward him, shouting his name. He was lured uncontrollably toward her soothing voice. “Christina!”Michael extended his arms to catch her but in a blink of an eye, she was pulled into another man’s embrace. That man’s tender smile was so warm, it was as if he was a bright sun. He lifted her off the ground and twirled around. Then, the two of them walked away together holding each other’s hand.“Sean!” He felt a sharp pain in his heart as he jolted awake. It was yet another stupid dream!It was already late at night. Travis had fallen asleep and he even began to snore. Meanwhile, having trouble sleeping, Christina stared at the ceiling in the dark.She tried hard from prohibiting herself to reminisce about the horrible past. However, like stubborn sprouts
