Chapter 231

“Mister said that he didn't have a girlfriend last time and he wants Mommy to be his girlfriend, but why is he getting married to another woman?” Travis was upset. “Mister is a big liar! Uncle Matthew is a big liar as well. I’ve already called him daddy, but he doesn’t want us now!”Christina carried his tiny body in her arms. She knew that her son longed for a father’s love, and he always wanted a father. If he knew that the mister on the television was his dad, he would be very disappointed.For such a cold-blooded father, she hoped Travis would never know who he was.Just then, Francis came back and saw Christina sitting on the couch, watching Michael’s engagement conference. “Christina, are you okay?”“I’m fine, Uncle Francis. I have given up on him long ago.” Francis was worried that Christina would get upset when she saw the news regarding their engagement.Looking at Christina’s tough expression, Francis was especially desolated. “Christina, I promised your mother that I’d

The doctor did say that there was another way. However, that would require Christina to have another baby with Travis’s father, and the new-born baby’s umbilical cord blood could then be used to cure her son’s leukemia.While Christina sat on the corridor bench crying, Sean comforted her. “If there’s no other way, then you have to do it. We need to save Travis.”She shook her head. “Wanting me to bear a baby for that disgusting man again? I can’t do it!”“Christina, there’s no other way. You must do it for the sake of Travis. After all, he’s Michael’s son too. As long as you tell him the truth, he won’t just stand there and do nothing.”“It’s useless. He already said that he will marry Serena, which means he has decided to forget about our past. Why do I need to disgrace myself by asking him for help?”“Even if there is little hope, you should still try. We can’t just watch Travis’s health worsen day after day.”“Travis is my son, and I’m, too, unwilling to see him tortured by th

Besides, Michael knew that Christina did not genuinely want to get back together with him.Christina hated Serena, so to call him at such a crucial time, she must want to get even with Serena by ruining their engagement and use this opportunity to embarrass Serena.“Christina, I don’t care why you’re telling me all of this, and I won’t call off the engagement.” Michael finished his sentence before he hung up the phone.She did not want to hear Michael’s voice at all. However, for the sake of Travis, she had to put up with the embarrassment and call him again.Michael’s phone rang twice before he hung up. So she called once again, but he had switched off his phone by then. Christina’s hands fell weakly from her ear. Her whole body was shaking and her face was pale. She was surprised that Michael did not ask her anything, and his words repeated in her mind. ‘No matter what your purpose is, I won’t call off the engagement.’‘Fine, Michael. If anything happens to Travis, I’ll make y

“John came to me before, saying that he wants to bequeath me a fortune and among them are some valuable antiques and paintings. I rejected him then, but I think it’ll be enough to cure Travis’s disease if I can get my hands on it.”“Christina, don’t force yourself. Let me handle the money.” Sean knew the hate Christina had towards John because never once did she beg John for help even when she was put in a dead-end. Hence, she must feel helpless to suggest it now. “I’m not forcing myself, I was just too naive back then. Besides, if my son and I can have an easier life with the money, then why not? For my son, I’d do anything.”“My son has suffered a lot with me because of my cowardness and avoidance issues, yet meanwhile the people who hurt me are still living an extravagant and carefree life. So why should I let them be? Not only do I want the money, but I want to make them feel bad forever too.”The sudden changes in Christina frightened Sean. “Christina, don’t be too extreme. N

John was worried at first, but he finally breathed when he saw Christina’s behavior. On the stage, Michael slid the ring on Serene’s finger smoothly with a polite smile on his face and no emotion in his eyes. He then subconsciously caught a glimpse of Christina who was standing at the entrance, clapping. Michael blanked out for a moment, and at that moment, Serene took the initiative to tip-toe and kiss him.A cheer rose in the lobby as the applause got louder. The smile on Christina’s face deepened. Only when the both of them kissed did Heather feel relieved. After this ceremony, the wedding would be fixed. She then turned around and looked at Sophia. “Hey, where’s your husband?”“He was still here just now. Maybe he went to the washroom…” Before Sophia could finish her sentence, she saw Christina standing at the entrance with John carrying her luggage by her side.Heather noticed Christina too and her expression grew dark. “Why is she here?”When their family servant, Miss La

Only then did Heather notice the luggage that John had been carrying in his hands, and he was right behind Christina. John had a sullen expression on his face and he did not look happy. He did not miss out on a single thing of what Heather said to Christina earlier on. He could not believe how brazen she was to humiliate Christina in public. It suddenly dawned on John that his daughter must have gone through far worse when she stayed with the Larson family. This was not criticism, it was straight-up abuse.With his heart burning in fury, John entered the house, luggage in hand without saying a word.By then, Michael and Serena were already walking over in her direction. Confusion was written all over Michael’s face as he wondered why Christina was there at that moment. Michael then thought of Christina’s phone call at midnight yesterday. Christina had said that as long as he called off his engagement with Serena, she would consider starting a relationship with him again.Not b

“Why is it impossible?” John began to lose his patience when he saw how Heather was looking at him. “I have to go first. Christina hasn’t had her dinner yet.”At that, John strode away from the room. Sophia motioned for Heather to take a seat next to her. As she made her way slowly towards Sophia, Heather looked at her. “What’s going on?”Sophia sighed. “It’s a long story. Christina is Johnny’s daughter with his ex-wife, Molly Williams. They had a misunderstanding a few years back which caused Molly to leave their matrimonial home along with Christina by her side. Sadly they were met with an accident on the way there and her younger brother, Francis never forgave John. He blamed Johnny for the death of his sister and took Christina away. We’ve been looking for Christina all these years but we only managed to get hold of her lately.”Sophia was so used to lying by now that she had excelled in that skill. Using an accident as an explanation, she tried to cover up the fact that she had

Heather had seen the elephant before, so she very quickly jumped back to her senses. “I see. Regarding Michael and Serena’s wedding, Sophia...”Sophia cut her off. “Johnny and I were in a dilemma because of this too. We were worried that Christina would be uncomfortable about it, but it turns out that she’s a rather understanding person. Since she did not oppose the marriage, Johnny and I figured to just go with the flow and just let the lovers be.”Sophia was good at muddling things up. She twisted and turned the truth, making up perfect lies as she concluded how the engagement was not an issue.Heather went along with it and smiled. “That’s good. Since Serena and Michael both love each other, we shouldn’t interfere as their elders. Let’s just give them our blessings.”Sophia nodded her head. “Michael and Serena shouldn’t feel guilty towards Christina too. Let the past remain in the past.”“Definitely. Let the past be in the past. We should look towards the future.” Heather natur

“I know, Mom.” As Serena thought about how Heather had threatened to kill herself if Michael did not divorce Christina, she silently made up her mind to please Heather no matter what it took.Christina had taken a cab and headed towards the Garcia family the moment her plane landed. Since she did not manage to rest on the plane, she decided to take a nap in her room instead. After she woke up, she went to the dining room to look for some food.Having washed herself up, Christina now looked totally different from the sloppy woman she was just now. She was refreshed and revitalized, with no trace of tiredness. “Your cooking is still the best, Miss Laura. It’s been such a long time since I tasted your food. It smells so good!” Christina praised as she ate.Miss Laura stood next to her as she looked at Christina. “Do you like it that much, Christina? I’ll cook every day just for you then.” “Thanks, Miss Laura.” Christina let out a sweet smile before she devoured the food in front of

“Siblings who are related by blood don’t even look alike. What more those who have different mothers?” Michael’s tone was very calm.“How evil is Francis? Christina could’ve grown up in luxury and wouldn’t have had to go through so much with him if he didn’t take her away from the Garcia family!”“Yeah. If we had known that Christina is John Garcia’s daughter, you wouldn't have treated her so bad, right Mom?” Michael’s calm voice was deeper than usual. She wondered if he was trying to ridicule her for what she did.Heather’s face flushed. “No, you’re wrong. Our main conflict was due to the fact that she was infertile. It had nothing to do with her identity.”“She was living in a stressful environment, so it’s not unusual for her to be infertile under those circumstances.” Michael gave a laugh of mockery.“Let’s not talk about this for now, Michael. Now that Christina has admitted that John Garcia is her father, she would definitely do something to take her revenge on us. You must
