New Romance in Marriage Chapter 166 Bob Becomes Sensible
Chris gazed at the sweet-smiling Paige. He could not help but smirk.‘What a practical little girl.’Usually, she would not treat him this way. However, now, as she needed his help, look at how sweet her smile was. She even affectionately called him "honey”.Typical.Did that mean he was not her husband when he was not helping her with something? Should she not smile at him or call him "honey" then?Tsk.Paige observed Chris, feeling like there was something behind the way he looked at her."Let's go," Chris said.Paige replied, "Okay," obediently following Chris.…Inside the restaurant, Quirk's family had arrived early and was waiting in a private room.Bob had initially planned to come alone. However, Wendy and Sierra insisted on coming.He had a favor to ask of Wendy. He wanted her to give him money to invest in Flower Bay. He was not the type of man who did not let his wife have her own savings, and Wendy was a shrewd woman. Over the years, he estimated that Wendy
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 167 The Bracelet Incident
Paige should have been filial to her mother. When someone had something nice, they should show respect to their mother. Paige, however, turned out to be heartless. She put the beautiful bracelet on herself and completely forgot she had a mother."Paige, that bracelet is really pretty," Wendy said.Paige was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at the bracelet on her wrist. It was the first time her mother had complimented something of hers. Her mother never praised anything about her or the things she wore.Sierra glanced at it, too, saying, "Yes, it’s exceptionally beautiful. It must be expensive."Paige replied, "Um… yeah.""Mom," Sierra turned to Wendy. "Do you like it? I'll buy one for you tomorrow."In reality, she could not bear to buy such an expensive bracelet for Wendy, nor did she own one herself. She was pressuring Paige.Since Paige had one, it would be polite not to give it to her mother.Wendy smiled and nodded, saying, "Sure."Paige was at a loss for w
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 168 Divorce
However, Bob was not going to let that happen. He had always been the one who resisted while others followed along.He was not about to let anyone get the better of him. Bob could see that Chris was still quite fond of Paige and was willing to protect Paige. If Wendy offended Paige, it was the same as offending Chris. They were husband and wife, a single entity. When it came down to it, Bob would not come out well in front of Chris."Let's get a divorce," Bob said coldly.A quick one, too, if possible. There was no more time to waste. If they waited any longer and Wendy offended Chris, it would be too late to divorce or clear his name.Both Wendy and Sierra were stunned, staring at Bob in shock."Dad..." Sierra was terrified. Was Bob actually talking about divorcing Wendy? Although her parents' relationship was not great, they had been through thick and thin for so many years. In her memory, her parents had never mentioned divorce, not even when Wendy could not give bi
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 169 A Little Persuasion
Wendy looked at Bob, her heart growing cold. In this world, men love money, power, and women the most. Bob, though, did not want money but wanted a divorce from her. She understood there was no turning back from this situation."Why?" Wendy asked one more time, still unwilling to accept it. She genuinely did not understand why Bob was so insistent on divorcing her.Just a few days ago, he was asking her for money to invest in the Flower Bay Project. Now, in just a short time, he did not even want the money? As Bob's close companion, she knew he needed money more than ever.However, for the sake of a divorce, he was letting go of the money he needed the most. So, was it really just because Wendy wanted Paige's bracelet today?Bob could not be bothered with explanations. He thought Wendy was a fool. Now, even outsiders knew Paige had married Chris. Today was different from the past, and many wanted to curry favor with Paige. Yet, Wendy, as the person directly involved, could
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 170 Chris' Analysis
Chris nodded faintly without speaking. Paige lay in bed and stared at the ceiling. She tried to sleep but found it impossible. Before that, Chris had exhausted her both physically and mentally. She desperately wanted to sleep. However, sleep eluded her.After a while, Paige could not hold back and asked Chris, "Do you think... my dad might be cheating?"Forgive her for being so ordinary. Her dad wanted a divorce from her mom, and the first thing that came to her mind was infidelity. Why else would her dad want to divorce her mom? Was it just because of the bracelet incident today? She felt the bracelet issue might have just been the tip of the iceberg. There must be other reasons. When her mom asked for the bracelet, it was a subtle request. Perhaps she had misunderstood, and her mom never wanted the bracelet in the first place.Moreover, her mom had done much worse things to her before. Her dad never wanted a divorce, then.Chris asked, "Do you think your dad might be
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 171 Stay Strong, Don't Give In
Was Paige really not going to get involved in her parents' divorce? Just last night, she promised to talk to Dad about it. How could things change so quickly after one night's sleep? Sierra was getting anxious. She did not know if this decision was Paige or Chris'. Without responding to Paige, she got up, freshened up, and decided to go to the Jewell Group to talk to Paige face-to-face. Some things could not be resolved through text messages.Since she was going to the Jewell Group, Sierra dressed herself up beautifully and elegantly. She had visited the corporation frequently in the past as Chris' fiancée to establish her presence to all those women with ill intentions. However, since Chris married Paige, she had not visited the Jewell Group.She could not face it anymore.As Sierra left in her splendid attire, Wendy emerged from her room. She had not slept all night, and it was only at dawn that she managed to rest for a while. Now, she was awake. Her voice was feebl
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 172 Was the Quirks Still Her Home?
Was he warning or reminding himself?Paige nodded and said, "Yeah, I understand."She knew Chris hoped her thoughts would not be easily shaken by her sister.She would try her best.Chris looked at Paige, who had a determined expression.Why did he not believe her?He thought Paige would easily give in.All Sierra needed to do was shed a few tears and act pitiful, and Paige would probably waver again.Seeing that Chris was not going to say anything more, Paige left.…Sierra and Paige went to a cafe near the Jewell Group.Since it was morning, the cafe was empty, with only the two of them.They chose a secluded corner, sat down, and ordered coffee."Paige..." Sierra looked at Paige with a worried expression. She said, "After the argument between Dad and Mom last night, Dad left directly and didn't come back all night... When I left, Dad still hadn't returned."Paige's heart skipped a beat. Dad did not come back all night... Men staying out all night usually led to suspici
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 173 Coin Toss
The little girl could not hide her emotions, her thoughts written on her face.Looking at Paige, Chris clicked his tongue. She had been so confident before, saying she would not be swayed by a few words from Sierra. However, she seemed absent-minded now.Tsk.She was indeed wavering.Paige placed a glass of water on Chris's desk.Chris asked in a calm tone, "Did your sister tell you anything?""She didn't say much. Just asked me to persuade Dad not to divorce Mom,” Paige replied.Chris asked, "Did you agree?"Paige widened her eyes, stared at Chris, then slowly shook her head. "No."Chris looked at Paige. It seemed she had a little sense not to be easily swayed by Sierra's words.Paige gazed at Chris.Her thoughts were in turmoil, and she wanted Chris’ opinion.Chris stared at Paige in silence. Usually, Paige did not stay around for a moment longer after bringing in his coffee. She would turn around and leave. Why was she still there?Chris raised an eyebrow and asked,

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,
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 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.
