New Romance in Marriage Chapter 21 More Tricks Up My Sleeve
Tanya's feelings were so obvious even an idiot could see them. Chris, however, was no idiot. So how could he be so blind to her feelings?Besides, Tanya wore her feelings on her sleeve. “So what?” Raising a brow, Chris asked. He did not look fazed. Feeling at a loss, Paige gritted her teeth in frustration. “You keep in touch with her and even took her out on a romantic dinner when she’s in love with you. You’re leading Tanya on and giving her the wrong idea. She’d think you’re interested in her,” Paige said angrily. “I have never given her that impression,” Chris said callously. Paige glared at him. Chris was a two-timing flirt. He enjoyed the chase, never turning down a beautiful woman.Only a player would enjoy the thrill of the chase, stringing another woman along without committing to anybody. “You’re a two-timer!” Paige yelled. Chris had no words. He looked at Paige, taken aback by the comment never made about him before. Was he two-timing? Technically, h

Chris could feel a certain area of his going soft. “I could also get a private investigator to find proof of your infidelity so I can get a share of your assets.” Chris had no words. “I might consider lacing your food with a slow-acting poison. You’ll grow weaker by the day until you die,” Paige said smugly. She believed her ideas were great. Paige planned to follow through with one of her plans if Chris were to rub her the wrong way. Chris scoffed in disdain. The girl was so naïve. “What are you laughing about?” Paige frowned. “You’ll be committing deliberate harm by taking away my manhood. Even if you have the luck to harm me, you can’t escape,” Chris said aloofly. “You talk about taking my assets by finding proof of infidelity. Sorry to break it to you, but the chances of that happening are slim. If I cheat, you’d never find proof because I’ll make sure to cover my tracks. Besides, my shares were assets before we married, so they have nothing to do with you. I have

Though, Paige had nothing to be worried about. As far as the story setting went, Chris should be going after her sister for revenge, not her. It was Sierra who hurt Chris, after all. Sierra was the female protagonist, while Paige was just a disposable supporting character caught between the domineering COO and the female protagonist. Paige sighed to herself. As a supporting character who could be sacrificed at any moment, Paige felt weary. “Go.” Chris’ voice interrupted Paige’s random thoughts. Paige did not know what to say. Where was she supposed to go? “Shower,” Chris said. Paige froze. He told her to shower. Was it a hint? No, it was not a hint. He was basically telling her right to her face. What was going through Chris’ mind? He was thinking about nude photography a moment ago, but now his mind had gone straight to the gutter. Chris had better things to do as the COO of the Jewell Group. He should be thinking about business and profits. Paige was

Paige was at a loss. She blinked and stared at Chris with a blushing face. Any minute now, the CCO would begin to punish her. Paige was nervous and afraid that the punishment would go on all night long. She might not make it through the night. “And that’s how I’d be poisoned,” Chris said. Paige was shocked. What did he mean? How did the conversation return to the topic of poisoning?She thought Chris would throw her onto the bed and unleash his wrath on her. Why was he talking about poison again? Paige was dumbstruck. She wondered if she was too dense to keep up with Chris’ train of thought. Chris claimed he would be poisoned just by kissing her. What did Chris take her for? Did Chris really think she was capable of poisoning him through a kiss?Chris curled his lips as Paige stared blankly at him with her Bambi eyes. She was not quite getting the point. Silly girl. “I think you should consider using skincare products with fewer chemicals,” Chris

Paige replied, “…I’m hungry.” Chris said, “Get up. Come have breakfast.” Paige only looked at Chris. She knew she had to get out of bed to eat. However, she was… How was she supposed to get out of bed? Although she and Chris were intimate with one another, she felt uncomfortable being bare around him. Chris’ eyes were on Paige as she sat still in bed, even though she had said she was hungry. Did Paige expect him to feed her? “Should I bring the food up and feed you?” Chris asked. Paige stared at Chris in shock. She quickly shook her head. No, no, no. She could not possibly have him feed her. Paige would lose her appetite. Still, what was Chris thinking? How did he come up with such a horrifying thing? “Why aren’t you getting up, then?” Chris asked. Paige looked at Chris with clenched teeth. Fine, she would get out of bed. She would show Chris how absurd he was. Paige bit the bullet, pulled open the covers, and got out of bed. She slipped past C

Annabelle, Millie, and Lisa showed off their expensive purchases worth tens of thousands of dollars.Paige was curious, but she did not want to pry. People could buy whatever they wanted, and she had no right to ask about it.She lay in bed on her phone, reading online novels and watching short videos. “Paige,” Lisa suddenly called Paige. Surprised, Paige looked at Lisa standing by Paige’s bed. “What’s the matter?” Paige asked. Lisa looked Paige in the eye and asked, “What is higher society like?” Paige was taken aback. She looked back at Lisa, not understanding where the question was coming from. “Why the sudden curiosity?” Paige asked. Lisa blushed and replied, “I’m just curious.” Paige brushed it off, figuring that ordinary people found the high life intriguing. “High society has a different standard of living than most people,” Paige pointed out. It was not the answer Lisa was looking for. Lisa asked, “Um… Is it possible for girls from ordinary families to m

It would be embarrassing if Paige called and Chris refused her invitation for dinner. She had her pride. “Nah. He’s busy with work,” Paige said. Kyle said with a smile, “He still has to eat. He should make time for you too.” Paige had no words. She glanced at Kyle. Kyle called Chris by his first name as if he was close to the man. However, Kyle should know the situation between her and Chris if he was on good terms with Chris. Although Kyle could not possibly know that Sierra cheated on Chris, he would know she took her sister’s place to marry Chris. Paige doubted Kyle was oblivious to her relationship with Chris. Yet, he told her to invite Chris out.Kyle probably wanted her to make a fool of herself. Still, Paige had no conflict with Kyle. It did not explain his motivation. What was Kyle’s motive for asking her to invite Chris out if not to mock her? “Paige?” Kyle looked at Paige through the rear-view mirror. He asked with a smile, “What’s the matter? Are you w

“How did you guys get together?” Chris asked. From his perspective, it seemed as if Paige would never cross paths with Kyle. Somehow, they ended up having dinner together. Maybe they knew each other from before. “Chris, this is my girlfriend, Lisa.” Kyle pulled Lisa close and introduced her to Chris. “I only found out today when I picked Lisa up that Paige and Lisa were roommates.” Chris glanced at Lisa. The woman looked a little familiar. Lisa blushed when Chris looked at her. She curled her lips to say hello to Chris, but Chris quickly turned away. Her smile froze, but Lisa did not take long to pull herself together. Paige was oblivious to what had happened. Kyle looked at Lisa furiously. Lisa was his woman, and she tried to hit on Chris. Although Lisa had done nothing out of line, Kyle had been in enough relationships to know how a woman looked at a man.He did not care much about Lisa since she was easy. He was angry, not because he cared, but because Lisa tr

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

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

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?"

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
