New Romance in Marriage Chapter 191 Ann's Family
Ann deliberately spoke in a harsh and insulting manner to Paige. Paige looked at Ann with a pale face, finding her words deeply hurtful. How could Ann speak about her parents in such a way?"I..." Paige wanted to argue but was cut off by Chris who said, "Even if there was infidelity or an affair, it doesn't concern you, Mom."Ann's frown deepened, and she became even angrier. If Chris hadn't defended Paige every time, perhaps Ann wouldn't be as furious or resentful toward her. That saying about forgetting one's mother after marrying a wife looks to be true in this case. Ann couldn't comprehend how Paige had managed to bewitch Chris."How can it not concern me?" Ann said angrily. "The Quirks are my in-laws. The news about the divorce will spread and my friends will be questioning me about what's going on. It's embarrassing and awkward to be dealing with a divorce at their age."Paige lowered her head; it was true that matters in the Quirks would cause trouble for the Jewells.

Ann's face turned red, rendering her speechless. Frank continued, "If I were you, I would keep my mouth shut and do nothing. I'd wait for the day when Chris takes over the Jewells.

Are you aiming to manage the Jewells?"With your passable business acumen, connections, and wealth, you could have already built a successful career. But look at what you've achieved. Look at your father and your brother, look at your family, the Barwises. The lot of you aren't cut out for business. "You've let your father and brother turn the Barwises into what it is today. It's hanging by a thread, ready to collapse at any moment. What? Has your family not caused enough trouble for themselves? Do you also want to bring trouble to the Jewells?"Ann angrily glared at Frank, "You... You're just spouting nonsense."Frank asked, "Where did I speak
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 193 Paige's Outburst
Sierra remained silent. She acknowledged the reason in James' words. Few people knew that she had betrayed Chris. Many uninformed onlookers sympathized with her, believing it was impossible for her to give up such an outstanding man as Chris. To them, it seemed like Paige had snatched her man. Sisterly rivalry in love was a common occurrence in today's society. However, if she were to marry someone else within just a few months, the public opinion would shift once again. James had valid concerns, but Sierra couldn't help but feel dejected. She had expected James to be excited and overjoyed by her proposal, but his response had been calm, cold, and rational.The lingering disappointment weighed heavily on her heart, and the recent coldness from James had left her anxious. Could it be that James never loved her? Was it possible that he only saw her as a challenge, not as a woman he cherished?After all, she was Chris's woman. If James could steal her away from Chris, it would b

Paige asked Shelly with a smile.Observing Shelly's changing expressions, Paige couldn't help but chuckle in her mind.Shelly had been bullying her for so long. She must have thought Paige was easygoing and weak.Shelly looked at Paige and asked, "Can't we still be friends after a breakup? The relationship between me and Chris... it's impossible for us to cut contact. We've been going to school since we were kids. We grew up in the same social circle. We have the same friends and classmates."Paige smiled as she looked at Shelly and said, "But... Miss Shepard, it would seem like you want to be more than just friends with my husband, doesn't it?"Shelly calmly replied, "You've misunderstood. Chris and I are just friends.""Oh..." Paige appeared to have an epiphany and apologized to Shelly with a smile. "I see. It was a misundersta

Ann hesitated for a moment, taken aback by the turn of events."Mom," Paige suddenly looked at Ann, "Do you think... Shelly might be doing this on purpose?"Ann furrowed her brows, "Doing what on purpose?"Paige continued, "Mom, just think about it. Could Shelly be harboring resentment because she couldn't have Chris? So, to exact revenge, she's intentionally creating misunderstandings. That makes it seem like Chris and his ex-girlfriend have a murky relationship, and it'll tarnish Chris's image?"Ann was left speechless, staring at Paige in astonishment. She was taken aback by Paige's conjecture.Even Chris couldn't help but shoot a curious glance at Paige, wondering what was going on in her mind."Mom..."

"I know you have feelings for Chris, and Paige is the third-wheeler in your relationship with him. But… Chris and Paige are husband and wife now. Your behavior will be looked down upon, and it will harm both your reputation and Chris'," Ann explained.Shelly bit her lip. She understood. Ever since she started working as Chris's secretary at the Jewell Group, there had been continuous gossip behind the scenes. People called her shameless because Chris was already married, yet she persisted.She had heard plenty of unkind words, both directly and indirectly. But Shelly did not care. No matter how harsh the words, she could endure them as long as it meant being with Chris."Aunt Ann, I don't care," Shelly said with tear-filled eyes."But Chris does," Ann replied.Shelly fell silent."Shelly," Ann continued, "Chris and I are going to inherit the Jewell Group in the future.

"Mr. Jewell, here's your green tea," Paige said.Chris nodded faintly and took a sip. He furrowed his brow. "It's too strong."Paige responded with a puzzled expression, "Too strong?""Go and brew a lighter one," Chris instructed.Paige sighed internally but didn't protest. She was now certain that Chris was intentionally being difficult and taking out his frustration on her."Okay," Paige replied and obediently headed to prepare another cup of tea.She returned to the office, carrying the tea."Mr. Jewell, your tea is ready," Paige informed him.Chris glanced at Paige, then picked up the tea. He took a sip and put it down, all while keeping a strange, unsettling gaze fixed on her."What's wrong?" Paige felt uneasy under his intense stare and couldn't help but ask.Chris calmly stated, "This is the same tea as before."Paige blinked, looking at Chris in disbelief. How could he tell? She didn't have a preference for tea and found them all to taste quite similar."I brewed a

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.

"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,

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.
