New Romance in Marriage Chapter 149 You Have a Fever
So...Could it be that Sierra was faking her fainting spell?The thought that her sister might be faking it hit Paige like a ton of bricks. She could not believe her sister would stoop so low to deceive her.While her sister was being examined, Paige was genuinely worried. If her sister was indeed faking it, her tears and distress were all an act that her sister could hear. Even though she knew how upset she was, her sister continued to pretend to be unconscious.Paige bit her lip, her face turning pale. She looked at Chris and said, "Sierra... she couldn't possibly be faking it."Despite Chris's reasoning and deduction, her desire to believe in her sister remained unshaken. She did not want to accept the idea that her sister could be capable of such deception.Chris watched the stubborn Paige and sneered. "Hmph..."Paige continued to bite her lip, resolute in her gaze. No matter what Chris said, she refused to believe her sister would do such a thing."I wonder how long you ca
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 150 Taking Medication
Paige gazed at Chris, her eyes wide with concern. She asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?"Chris stared back coldly. "Are you cursing me?""I'm not," Paige replied, feeling unfairly accused. She had only asked if he was sick because she cared. How had it turned into a curse?It was like offering a dog a bone and getting bitten in return. Ungrateful."Are you cursing me with illness?" Chris pressed."I'm not," Paige defended herself. "You were the one who said you bought medicine for yourself. I was concerned about your health.""Concerned about me?" Chris raised an eyebrow, his gaze locked on Paige.Paige blushed and looked away, suddenly shy in his presence.Chris was taken aback. Why was she blushing again? Perhaps she had a fever."The temperature in North Cannes is different from Hevensforth. It's been getting colder, and I was worried I might catch a cold. That's why I bought some cold medicine in advance," Chris explained."Oh," Paige said, starting to underst
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 151 Ordinary Love
No matter how pitiful she appeared, Chris remained unfazed. When a man was in love, even a single tear could soften his heart, but when a man was not, not even a river of tears would make him flinch. Why could Sierra not understand that simple truth?"Paige..." Sierra forced a smile.That sight tugged at Paige's heart. She knew her sister was in the wrong, but was that not how people often behaved? When a stranger did wrong, you could criticize them from a moral high ground, but when your loved ones made mistakes, you held a different standard. Even when it was clear that the other person was at fault, you could find a thousand reasons to defend them.Chris naturally noticed Sierra's pained expression and let out a disdainful snort. Emotional women like Paige, who wore their hearts on their sleeves, would struggle in the professional world."Sierra, are you okay? Are you feeling alright?" Paige asked with concern.Sierra smiled weakly and replied, "I'm fine. My cousin is getti
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 152 Requesting Paige to Handle Something
Chris observed the contented smile on Paige's face and raised an eyebrow. However, a faint smirk slowly stretched across his face. At that moment, Paige's phone rang.Paige retrieved her phone and saw her father calling, which was unexpected. Her father was usually distant and would not contact her without reason. She answered the call, "Dad...""I want you to come home for dinner tonight," Bob said with a smile. Paige was skeptical of the unusual request. “Is there something you want to talk about?”"No, I just miss you."Paige fell silent. Did her father really want her around? Or was he just trying to be polite?"Alright," Paige agreed.When the call ended, Paige stared at her phone. She knew something must be up, but her father probably could not tell her through the phone, and that was why he found himself an excuse.She was a little uncomfortable with her father’s sudden closeness.Then, she turned to Chris and said, "I need to go to my parents' home for dinner toni
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 153 Flower Bay Project
Chris observed Paige.Paige was not one to concern herself with his work. It seemed she had no desire to meddle in his business. Other wives might investigate and understand more about their husband's companies, but Paige would be content with serving him coffee and never attempt to delve into the company's affairs.Yet today, she suddenly asked about the company."Why?" He raised an eyebrow, asking, "Why the sudden interest in the company?"Paige hesitated. She looked at him and thought he must know the reason behind her question.In truth, he did know. He understood that Quirks wished to invest in the Flower Bay Project. The project had garnered substantial attention, and with the Jewells’ involvement, all the Quirks had to do was invest and sit back to reap the rewards.However, he was waiting for Paige to speak up. If only she would open up to him, he could consider involving the Quirks in some way.He had his reservations about the Quirks, except Paige. Their behaviors an
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 154 Paige Flirts
Paige was perplexed, but it made sense in a way. "Shelly wants you to provoke the boss, to make him dislike you, and create conflict between you two. She aims to take advantage of the situation," said Gloria.Gloria, having gained experience early in life working in nightclubs, had encountered all sorts of people, so she easily saw through Shelly's cunning plans.Only then did Paige realize that Shelly had such intentions. It did seem like something Shelly would do. People could be incredibly complicated creatures.Gloria continued to caution Paige, "Madam, our boss is pretty headstrong. If he wants to help the Quirks make money, you won't need to say a word. If he doesn't want to, no matter how hard you try, he won't change his mind."Paige nodded. "I understand.” She knew Gloria was looking out for her. The relationship between her family and Chris was indeed a tricky one. Having Chris help her family make money did not seem fair, and it put Chris in a difficult spot.… At
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 155 Flirting 101
He always wondered how a man could like that kind of behavior.Yet now, he watched as Paige spoke in a high-pitched voice, flirting with him, and surprisingly, he liked it. He really liked that side of Paige.Finally, he could understand those men.Chris put down the documents, stood up, and said to Paige, "Let's go."Paige looked at Chris, taken aback.Was it just... that simple?She did not think she had not put much effort into flirting. All she did was follow what she had seen in videos, and her attempt at flirting was stiff and awkward.However, Chris seemed to like it. Was flirting really that effective?Paige started to understand something. Sure enough, women who knew how to flirt had it easier.It was time for her to level up her flirting skills.… Paige and Chris returned home and had dinner. As soon as they got back to their room, the phone rang.It was a call from Bob.Paige knew why her father was calling, and she glanced at Chris, who noticed the screen disp
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 156 Paige Confronts Pierre
Next to the recliner, there was a small, elegant table, which held a tray of fruit snacks and beverages prepared by the servants for Paige. Sipping on juice and scrolling through her phone, she basked in the sunlight and gentle breeze, feeling utterly content.Days like these were truly wonderful.As Pierre entered the gates of the Jewell Family estate, this was the scene that greeted him. The wind tousled Paige's long hair and the flowing dress, making her look exceptionally beautiful. Pierre approached her."Paige," he called with a smile.Paige glanced at him and asked, her tone indifferent, "What's up?"Initially, her impression of Pierre had been quite positive. Later, when he had clearly seen Shelly framing her and did not step up to clear her name, her opinion of him had soured. From then on, she held a grudge against Pierre.Perhaps it was not entirely his fault. After all, Pierre had feelings for Shelly. So, naturally, his loyalty leaned toward her. While Paige cou

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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 698 I Secretly Care For You
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,
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 697 Taking Pictures of Chris
Before Hunter was born, Chris was the absolute darling of the family. His grandfather favored him, and his parents loved him dearly.However, Hunter's arrival had changed everything. The elders in the family revolved around Hunter all day long. Zander’s first question upon waking up each morning was about Hunter, followed by Ann cuddling Hunter, calling him her darling, and so on.It seemed like everyone had forgotten about Chris.How could Chris, who had always been so cherished, accept that?Chris's expression stiffened as if his thoughts had been unexpectedly revealed, his eyes flickering momentarily.Paige chuckled and said, "Are you seriously competing with a child for attention? Besides, you've been pampered by the family for so many years. Hunter has only been pampered for a few days."Chris retorted coldly, "I'm not competing with him."Paige did not buy it for a second. 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 696 Chris Gets Jealous
Before, Paige could not understand people showing off their babies and wondered why they would go crazy posting their kids on social media. Now, she got it. She found her kid to be the cutest in the world and could not help but snap his photos and post them on her social media platforms to share him with others, hoping for compliments and praise for her little one.However, she also understood that posting too much could annoy people. Hence, she restrained herself to only posting once a day and made sure to fit in a couple of photos!That was her absolute limit!She felt uneasy if she did not post her baby for a day. Then, when she saw her friends' comments praising her little one, she felt happy and proud, like they were getting closer as friends.Indeed, becoming a mom had changed her mindset.Chris, who was watching Paige show off their baby on social media, was even more dissatisfied!

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 695 Buying Ava A House
After what felt like ages, Ava lay on the hotel's large bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as the sound of rushing water filled her ears. Niel was in the shower. After releasing his pent-up emotions, he headed straight for the shower. Meanwhile, she lay there, her body aching. She did not want to move a muscle because every movement brought pain.Niel was thrilled with the new experience, but Ava was suffering. She was starting to regret getting involved with Niel. He was going overboard with satisfying his physical needs, and she feared that if things continued like that, Niel might end up causing her harm or maybe even unintentionally ending her life. She had heard of such things happening before, so now, she was caught between a rock and a hard place.On one hand, she did not want to let go of Niel and give up on all the sacrifices and efforts she had put in when she was on the brink of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a billionaire's wife. On the other han
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 694 Niel And Ava
Pierre fell silent, pondering Shelly's words carefully. Upon reflection, he found Shelly's proposal to be pretty reasonable and entirely feasible. If he were to wait until Shelly entered prison to serve her sentence, he could break up with her afterward. Once his relationship with Shelly ended, his parents would not be as angry. Even if there were some constraints preventing them from openly helping him, they could still assist him discreetly. After all, he was their son, who shared the same blood with them. His parents could not possibly abandon him entirely and let him fend for himself. By lowering himself in front of his parents, he believed they would not neglect him. By then, acquiring the five million dollars would not be too difficult.Shelly watched Pierre, not pressing him to respond. She believed Pierre knew what choice to make. Five million might seem like an astronomical figure, but for the second son of the Alfonsos, it was not much.After much deliberation
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 693 Shelly Wants Money
She looked at the evil smile on Chris' face, and it all came back to her.Did Chris Intentionally take Hunter to the guest room to hand him over to the nanny so that it would make it easier for him to do what he wanted? What a scumbag! However, since it was something she had personally agreed to, she would not back out.Paige did not resist Chris, and a long time later, she collapsed on the bed. She felt like she should have taken care of Hunter and not fallen for Chris' tricks.Taking care of a child was not as exhausting!She was too tired to even move her fingers.The next day, Paige slept until late morning and then got up to go down for breakfast.When Ann saw Paige, she asked with concern, "Paige, didn't you sleep well last night?"Paige looked really worn out."Didn't Hunter sleep with the nanny last night?" Ann asked curiously.Paige blushed with embarrassment and said, "Last night… I wasn't used to sleeping without Hunter, so I didn't get a good sleep."Ann smile
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. She did not want to refuse him, but her body would not allow it.Chris glanced at Paige and said, "We can try other
