New Romance in Marriage Chapter 103 Getting Nails Done on Day 1
Chris had multiple meetings a day, many tasks to complete, and lots of social engagements to attend. As expected, money did not grow on trees. Working was a lot harder than going to school. Once the secretaries and assistants had finished reporting, Chris said, “This is Paige, my wife. She will be interning here for the summer holidays. Sandra Kelly, she'll be in your care.” Sandra nodded respectfully. “Sure.” Chris stopped talking, so their business was done there. The assistants and secretaries left his office. “Should I go too?” Paige asked Chris. Chris nodded. “Go on.” Paige went out. “Mrs. Jewell,” Sandra called Paige. Paige blushed and replied awkwardly, “Just call me Paige.” Mrs. Jewell just did not sound right to Paige. Sandra looked at Paige in surprise. She did not dare to address Paige by name because Chris was a stern CCO. God knew what Chris would do if he were to find out she was on a first-name basis with Paige. “Madam, please follow me,” Sand

No words could describe the air in the room. Unsure of Chris’s intent, Gloria said, “It will take a moment. I have not applied diamond studs to the manicure yet.”Chris had no words. He told Paige, “Come to the office after you’ve had your nails done.” Paige replied, “Oh.” Chris walked away. Gloria looked at Paige, and Paige met her gaze. “Do we carry on, madam?” Gloria asked. Chris seemed like he could not wait. Paige glanced at her hands and said, “Carry on.” She had some of her fingers painted. It was strange to leave out the rest. “Okay.” Gloria went on to do Paige’s nails. “Madam, are you scared of Mr. Jewell?” While painting Paige’s nails, Gloria asked. Gloria believed Paige was scared. Sandra and Margaret pricked their ears up for Paige’s answer. Taken aback, Paige looked at Gloria and responded, “Honestly speaking, I am.” Gloria stared at Paige with a smile and commented, “We’re scared, too.” Paige was speechless. She looked at Gloria in shock
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 105 Chris and Gloria Are Out
Paige wondered if she got the wrong idea about Chris. She sat in bed, cracking her head for answers. Just then, the door opened. Startled, Paige jolted to her feet from the bed. Chris raised his brow as Paige looked frightened. “Did I scare you?” Paige blushed. “No.” “What were you doing in here? You were away for a long time,” Chris asked. Paige dared not say she was searching for clues left behind by other women in the room. She lied, “I was in the washroom.” Chris raised a brow. “That long?” She had been in there for at least half an hour. “Constipation?” Chris asked. Paige turned red and looked at Chris, whispering, “No.” Chris nodded and asked, “What do you want to have for lunch?” Still blushing, Paige inquired, “Are we going out to eat?” Chris replied, “I’m fine if you want to dine out.” Paige blinked. “Is there a cafeteria?” “Yes.” Chris nodded. He asked, “Do you want to go to the cafeteria?” Paige gave it a thought before shaking her head. “
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 106 Conquer the Workplace and Women
Paige nodded and went with Chris. She kept close to Chris, carefully sniffing him. Having spent the day with Gloria, Paige had smelled the scent on her. Gloria wore a strong perfume. Paige carefully took a whiff. Chris smelled of laundry detergent, which her clothes also smelled like. It was the brand the Jewells used for laundry. There was also a faint scent mixed with the smell of laundry. She found the scent familiar, and it did not belong to Gloria. Gloria carried a strong perfume, but the smell on Chris was faint. Paige could not put her finger on the scent. However, it definitely was not Gloria’s. Paige sighed in relief to herself. He did not have Gloria’s scent on him. Paige wondered if she should take it that Chris was away for work with Gloria that afternoon instead of going to the hotel, as she presumed. However, who could the scent belong to if not Gloria’s?Chris should not smell of anything other than laundry detergent. After all, he did not use cologne.

“You don’t believe me?” Chris asked as Paige looked skeptical. Paige shook her head. “I don’t.” Chris curled his lips at Paige and said, “You’ll believe me.” Then, he turned around and left. Paige looked at Chris’ back in confusion. What was that supposed to mean? How would she believe him? Paige could not understand what he was trying to say. Was she supposed to verify with other men if they wanted to conquer their woman in their office? She was not a psycho. There was no way she would approach other men to ask such an absurd question for no reason. God knew what those men would think of her if she did.Seeing that Chris was stepping into the elevator, Paige picked up the pace and joined him. There was no one else in the elevator. The elevator exclusive for high-management executives was technically just for the Jewells. Now, Chris and Paige were the only ones in the elevator. Chris stared at Paige. Not knowing what to say, she gave Chris a confused look.
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 108 Hurry Up and Bear a Son
Paige asked curiously, “How much is that?” Chris said, “After taxes and pension contributions, it’s five thousand bucks.” Paige had no words. That was still a pretty good deal. Although 5,000 dollars was not much to Paige, she had a job, even if it was just making coffee. Making coffee was a job, too. Now that she was on the work task force, she should get paid for her time and effort. Seeing that Paige was silent, Chris raised his brow. “What’s wrong? Is the amount too little for you?” Surprised at first, Paige then shook her head. “No.” Truth be told, if her day-to-day tasks at work were like today, she would feel like she did not deserve the 5,000 dollars. All she did today was brew Chris a cup of coffee.She would earn 5,000 dollars a month after taxes for making a cup of coffee a day. Anybody would fight tooth and nail for this job. As Paige had no more questions, Chris held Paige and pressed her onto the mattress. Paige blinked and stared at Chris in shock.
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 109 Men Are Easy to Please
Instead of pursuing the question further, Gloria said, “If there are any problems with Mr. Jewell’s health, you should convince him to see a doctor. He shouldn’t be embarrassed to talk about his issues with the doctor. He’s young, strong, and has a good immune system. I’m sure he will be cured of any illness.” Blushing harder, Paige whispered, “He doesn’t have any health issues.” Gloria said, “None?” Paige nodded with a red face. “Yeah.” Gloria sighed in relief. That scared her. She honestly thought Chris had health problems. “Um… You can do it, madam. May you conceive a child soon,” Gloria said while glancing at Paige’s belly. Paige had no words. She observed the sincere look on Gloria’s face. It did not seem like Gloria was lying to her. Gloria genuinely hoped she could be pregnant as soon as possible. Paige wondered if she had the wrong idea about Gloria and Chris. Gloria wanted to carry on the conversation when the phone rang. She glanced at the phone before
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 110 You’re A Goof
Paige suspected Gloria sweet-talked Chris that way.“I don’t think he’s angry,” Paige said against her conscience.Gloria was speechless. She looked at Paige and wondered if Paige was for real. It was clear that Chris was furious. Yet, Paige believed he was not. Gloria had reason to think that Paige was a goof. “I think Mr. Jewell is angry,” Gloria commented. Meeting Gloria’s gaze, Paige said, “I don’t think he is. If you think he is, why don’t you butter him up?” Gloria was lost for words. She looked at Paige, dumbfounded. Butter Mr. Jewells up? As if she had the guts. Besides, who was she to sweeten Chris up? Gloria imagined herself tugging Chris’ arm and simpering, “Don’t be mad, Mr. Jewell. I love you the most. Don’t be mad. Here’s a kiss. You shouldn’t be mad after we kiss.” The thought of it just made Gloria shudder. She could not do it. “There’s no point in me appeasing him. I’m not anybody to him. Besides, Mr. Jewell isn’t angry with me,” Gloria

The receptionist did not reply. Gloria: [You're in trouble. I can't save you now.]The receptionist: [No, I haven't eaten it yet.]Gloria: [Good thing you haven't. I'm coming down.]As soon as the receptionist received Gloria's message, Gloria stepped out of the elevator.Upon reaching the front desk and noticing the bag of strawberry laces opened on the desk, Gloria glared at the receptionist. "You said you hadn't eaten it!"The receptionist looked a little guilty. "I just opened it and haven't had a chance to take one yet."Gloria sneered. "Haven't had a chance? You sound like you regret it."“I don't.""You can't afford this cup of bubble tea. If you did take one, watch out… You might lose your job."The receptionist paused in surprise. "Is it expensive?"Gloria nodded. "It is."“Good thing I didn't take one," the receptionist mumbled. Gloria rolled her eyes. If they were not on the same team, she would not even bother saving her."Why is this bag of strawberry laces

Chris chuckled. "Really?"Paige's face turned slightly red. She felt embarrassed saying that, and it felt like Chris did not believe her. However, she bit the bullet and nodded. "Yeah, really."Chris smiled and said, "Well then, when you miss me next time, don't just think about it because thinking won't do you any good. When you miss me or care about me, just send me a message or call to check in. After all, I can’t read minds. Also, if you want to hug me, just hug me. Don't hold Hunter in your arms and say you want to hug me. That's just hypocritical."Paige faltered. Hug him when she wanted to hug him? Thanks, but she did not want to hug him. She could easily pick up Hunter, but could she lift Chris so easily? She was not that strong, to begin with."Remember. From now on, when you think of me, send me a message. Ask me if I've eaten, what I've eaten, if I'm tired from work, what I'm doing, or tell me what you're thinking about. Don't keep it all to yourself," Chris said wit

What did he take her for?Besides, what could a woman do with photos? She was not one of those perverted men who did some creepy stuff with women’s photos."Nothing worth admiring?" Chris raised an eyebrow.Paige nodded. "Yeah, they’re nothing worth admiring."Indeed, there was nothing worth admiring about the photos."Ha!” Chris snickered.Paige remained silent and thought, ‘Here comes the snickering again.’"You don’t mean what you say," Chris remarked.Paige frowned. "What did I say that implies otherwise? You're a strange one. You're right here in front of me. Why would I need to admire the photos?"Chris grinned. "So you don't want to admire the photos, but you want to admire me, a living person."Paige blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed. She did not mean that, but what she just said seemed to imply exactly that."How would you want to admire me?" Chris teased.Admire was such an intriguing word.Paige blushed harder. "How else can I admire you? Just by looking,

She smiled and said, "Sure, you're not competing with him. You're just afraid we'll spoil Hunter."A

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 692 What Else Do You Have
Even if she offered her sincerity, Chris would not appreciate it, so what else could she offer? "Is money the only thing you have? Do you have nothing else besides money?" Chris said.He thought she was truly clueless. Even after being married for so long and having a child together, did she not know what he wanted?However, Paige was indeed puzzled. Besides money, what else did she have? What else could she have?Chris looked her up and down, speechless. Paige might not have understood what he meant before, but she did now. He meant that although she did not have money, she still had a young body.It seemed all Chris lusted was her body."I’m still recovering," Paige said with a slight blush on her face. She knew Chris had been patient for a long time. They barely had any intimacy during the last trimester of her pregnancy, but there was nothing she could do.
