"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.

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.

"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?

Ann, however, gave them a brief glance without much expression.Paige continued, "Mom, Shelly resigned from her job at the company."Ann's response was calm and collected as she merely said, "I know."Paige could tell that it was Ann who had influenced Shelly's decision to resign. Ann had initially arranged for Shelly to work at the company, hoping she would make a good impression, but ultimately, Ann's concern for Chris's reputation was her top priority. Paige had once believed that Ann favored Shelly, but now it was clear that Ann's true allegiance lay with Chris.Luna, who seemed puzzled, inquired, "Shel was doing well, why did she resign?"Paige shook her head with a smile, "I don't know."Ann turned to Luna and said, "Luna,
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 200 Andrew Carter
Paige remained perplexed, her brow furrowed. It seemed like she still didn't quite grasp the situation.Chris observed her continued confusion and raised an eyebrow.

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 202 Paige is Nervous
"Your brother said Andrew's eyeing the future heiress of the Jewells. Marrying you is his ticket to more perks and benefits,” Paige explained.Luna blinked, absorbing the revelation. It was not entirely unexpected, given the cutthroat world they lived in—where alliances were forged for the sake of business gains.Luna looked at Paige, grateful for the heads up. "Thanks, Paige. I got it.”Paige reassured her, "Don't worry. If you don't like Andrew, your brother won't force you."Even though Chris had not explicitly said that, Paige had confidence in him.

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.

"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,

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.

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.

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.
