New Romance in Marriage Chapter 125 Didn’t Say I Won’t Leave You Alone
Ann wanted to control her son and his marriage. “Did you tell her I won’t leave you alone?” Chris asked indifferently. Paige turned red in the face and looked at Chris. She could not possibly make such a shameless remark to Ann. Ann would have a problem with Paige saying that. In fact, she would call Paige shameless for thinking her son would be all over her when she did not have the charm, the looks, or the body. “I didn’t mention it,” Paige murmured blushingly. Chris uttered callously, “You can tell her that when we’re home tonight.” Paige wanted to apologize and say she could not do it. “I think Ann is right. We’re young. We should listen to our bodies and practice restraint. Moderation is the key. Too much of anything is bad for us.” Despite the burning in her cheeks, Paige bit the bullet and blurted it out. “Bad?” Chris raised his brow at Paige. Paige remained quiet. Chris asked, “Are you worried I'll push myself too hard and not be able to keep doing it?”
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 126 Kick the Door Down
Shelly’s stilettos were killing her from walking about, and she had to focus on work.Sometimes, Paige could see the weariness on Shelly’s face. Shelly had an inflated ego, and things were not going as she planned. Although she said she came to the Jewell Group to learn, everybody knew what she was really after. Shelly was trying to get close to Chris. She thought that since Chris had plenty of secretaries and assistants, she would have an easy job and time to spend with Chris. It took time for two people to bond, and they would develop feelings for each other as they spent time together. However, it never occurred to her that the job as Chris’ secretary was demanding. Shelly would only see Chris in the morning during the briefing, and it would depend on her luck if she got to see Chris the rest of the day. On a good day, she might be able to see Chris. The worst part was not even that. Shelly had to work alongside Sandra, and if she did not pay attention, Sandra would
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 127 Snitch
Sandra, Margaret, and Gloria exchanged looks. Although Shelly said nothing, the look on her face showed she got the snub. Shelly was new, so she probably did not know Chris’ routine. Although work was important, he did not overlook his health and quality of life. When he had an afternoon nap every day, he would lock his office door to stop anyone from bothering him. They knew Shelly would be shut out, but no one gave her the heads-up. What was the point anyway? If they were nice to tell her about it, Shelly might think they were out to stop her. Shelly needed a rude awakening to accept reality. Although Shelly pretended to work, she could not focus. Her attention kept being drawn to Chris and Paige in the lounge, and she wondered what they were doing. Were they sleeping or sleeping together? Shelly knew that Chris and Paige were married, so it was normal for them to engage in intimacy. …Chris woke up at 1:40 p.m. without an alarm clock. He had trained his biological clo
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 128 Paige’s Bragging
The Jewell Group was a tangled web of family ties, with relatives clinging to their paychecks despite their lack of productivity. Ann had a few family members in the business, so she was speechless. Even though she was tempted to refute Chris, the thought of her relatives silenced her.Ann was born into a rich family but had other poorer relatives. Many of her Barwise relatives worked at the Jewell Group for high salaries despite doing little work.“Besides, can’t I give my wife a perk to enjoy?” Chris looked at Ann and asked indifferently, “Can’t I give my wife a special advantage?” Ann had no words. Although Chris appeared calm in expression and tone of voice, his choice of words was aggressive. It made Ann displeased. She felt that Chris had chosen his wife over his mother. Chris was mean to her while defending Paige, and that was something Ann could not tolerate. He was indifferent to other women before, and Shelly, his first love, and Sierra, his fiancée, were no
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 129 Attend a Wedding Together
Paige was just an average and ordinary heiress. Despite everything, she got exclusive pampering from Chris.“Mr. Jewell is right.”“Mr. Jewell is a manly man.” “He’s so nice to you, madam.” The three secretaries in the room commented with a smile. They were not sucking up to Paige. They honestly believed that Chris was good to Paige. Not many men would be supportive of their wives, even if they had the means to. Only a handful of men would give their mothers sass to defend their wives. Paige was a lucky woman, and they were envious of her. Paige’s cheeks flushed red.Although Paige intentionally bragged in front of Shelly, she felt shy and self-conscious. It was embarrassing. That was the little incident in the morning, and since they were busy, the women resumed their duties. … Sierra invited Paige out for afternoon tea, which Paige did not want to go to. She was afraid of being along with Sierra because the latter would bring Chris up every time, and Paige fel
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 130 Get Down on Your Knees and Beg
After much hesitation, Paige decided to invite Chris on the trip. “Are you going?” Paige looked at Chris and asked hesitantly. Chris raised a brow, pretending not to understand, and inquired, “Where to?” Paige stared at Chris, speechless. He was smart to catch on, so he must know what she was talking about. The question was deliberate and uncalled for. Displeased, Paige pursed her lips without saying anything. Chris was likely not interested in going. If Chris had a heart, he would suggest going together with her to Hannah’s wedding instead of making her ask. What a jerk! “Nothing,” Paige replied. She could attend the wedding herself. At worst, she would just have to listen to gossip about her. It was no big deal because words would not harm her. Chris looked at Paige with his brow raised. It seemed the woman had learned to sulk at him. She was really pushing her luck. Paige was quiet and docile when they first got married, always giving in to his wishes. No
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 131 Gloria Is Losing Her Job
Maybe the boss teased Paige on purpose so that he could enjoy the blush on her face. Gloria could not believe she could watch a sweet rom-com live-action at work. …Shelly came back with Sandra after settling some work outside. When she saw Paige, she greeted her with a smile,” Paige.” Paige nodded to Shelly but grumbled to herself, ‘Must she do this all the time?’Both of them hated each other, yet Shelly always made it seem like they were friendly. It was intolerable. Paige hated herself for not being shameless enough. She could have ignored the woman greeting her instead of replying. In fact, she believed she was being too polite. It may be awkward trying to turn down a polite greeting, but she also had a feeling that she would suffer the consequences one day. Unfortunately, it was her personality, which took time to change. Fortunately, all Shelly did was greet her instead of starting a conversation. …During lunch, Shelly suddenly asked Paige, “Paige, did Joneus
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 132 Making Shelly Mad
Shelly knew the secretaries revealed the story to her just to make her mad. Since she joined the company, she noticed that the secretaries were rather fond of Paige. She had no idea how Paige charmed them. “Madam is really a happy girl, and the boss treats her so well,” Gloria lamented. Sandra and Margaret nodded in agreement. “The boss really does treat the madam well.” Shelly could not bear to listen to them anymore. Must they talk about how well Chris treated Paige in front of her? “Shelly, do you think the boss treats the madam well?” Gloria asked Shelly with a smile. Shelly replied dully, “I don’t know.” Gloria chuckled. “I guess so. You’re still new. You’ll know when you’ve been here long enough.” Gloria was wrong because Shelly did not want to know at all. After that, Shelly decided to ignore the secretaries and send Joneus a text. Since Chris was not attending the party, she did not want to go as well. She was tired, both mentally and physically. She wanted

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.

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

"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,
