New Romance in Marriage Chapter 219 Hoodwinked by Shelly
Even though the earrings looked nice, Paige was not in love with them.Shelly eyed Paige with pursed lips and a displeased expression. Paige blinked, looking at Shelly. Was Shelly not planning to raise her paddle for a bid? Did she get cold feet when she saw Chris? Or was the price making her back off?‘Come on, Shelly. Don't chicken out.’ Paige wanted to see a showdown between Shelly and Chris.Seeing no sign of Shelly or Pierre bidding again, the auctioneer announced, "Sold for nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars."The auctioneer grinned and continued, "Congratulations to the gentleman at number 9 for winning this pair of jade earrings."Paige frowned, feeling a mix of emotions.Chris looked at Paige, thinking that winning the earrings for her would make her happy and excited.However, judging by her expression and reaction, she did not seem thrilled."What's wrong?" Chris asked casually. "Not happy?"Paige glanced at Chris, shaking her head. "No."Chris raised an ey
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 220 Shelly Might Resent You Now
Now, Chris treated her with such ruthlessness. Why had he become like this? Could it be Paige's doing?"It's okay," Paige smiled, saying, "My husband says it's just a small amount of money."Shelly was at a loss for words.Nine hundred and ninety thousand was indeed a measly sum for Chris."He says he’s willing to spend as much money as needed for me." Paige smiled sweetly and shyly.Shelly’s expression changed. How shameless could Paige be, always flaunting and showing off?Would she die if she did not? Would she?!Paige looked at Chris, hoping for some response. After all, even a casual response from Chris would have a huge impact on Shelly.Chris looked at Paige, nodded, and said, "Yeah. Spending money on you is only right."Shelly was hit hard with a blow.She watched Chris and Paige, the harmonious, loving couple. It was so irritating that her nose tingled, and her eyes turned slightly red."Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom." Shelly stood up and left with g
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 221 Another Encounter
Chris asked casually, "Really?""I wasn’t thinking of using your money to find some eye candy and live the high life," Paige replied.‘Why bother with that?’ Paige thought. She could use the money to buy a house, start a small business, and live a simple life. Why waste it on young men and unnecessary luxuries?"Hmm?" Chris squinted slightly, a sly smile playing on his lips. "So, you've thought about me being killed by Shelly, and then you live carefree with my wealth?"Paige hesitated to admit it.Chris' smile was terrifying. It was reminiscent of the Joker, a master of taking lives with a casual demeanor."No!" Paige quickly denied, lifting her head defiantly, meeting Chris's gaze. "I want my husband to be healthy and live a long and happy life.""Heh," Chris chuckled lightly, clearly not believing her.Paige thought hard about how to make him believe her."It’s true." Paige said earnestly, "If I wanted you dead by Shelly, I wouldn't have warned you to be cautious.""Is tha
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 222 Bob's Affair
Sierra nodded. "Okay."The mother-daughter duo sat on the couch, chatting about daily affairs. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Wendy jumped up in surprise, looking flustered.Sierra looked at Wendy in confusion, wondering why her mom's reaction was so strong to a simple doorbell."Mom, what's wrong?" Sierra asked with concern.Wendy forced a smile. "Nothing. Someone's at the door. I'll go check who it is."Wendy reached the door. When she saw through the camera that it was the lawyer, she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it might be him, returning after disappearing for a while.Opening the door, the lawyer walked in."Mr. Smith, what brings you here?" Wendy asked with a smile.Mr. Smith looked at Wendy and said, "There are some things I want to tell you in person."Wendy's heart skipped a beat. Mr. Smith was in charge of her divorce case, and usually, they communicated through phone calls or messages. Today, he came in person, which meant it had to be important.T
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 223 The Quirks Belong to Her
Sierra's silence left Wendy feeling dissatisfied. She frowned, looking at her with irritation. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you planning to tell your dad? Bob isn't even worthy of being your dad!"Sierra looked at Wendy and said, "Mom, can't you and Dad stay together?"Stay together?Wendy was taken aback. Then, she furrowed her brows and said angrily, "Impossible."In the past, she did not want a divorce because of her love for Bob. Now, she had found a new love, someone who had captured her heart deeply. As for Bob, she used to think he was outstanding. However, now he seemed like an old man—silent, domineering, and always putting up a front before her.Her new love was young, good-looking, and had a great physique.

Sierra strolled towards the neighborhood entrance, lost in thought, when she seemed to collide with someone in a daze."Ouch..." The person she bumped into collapsed instantly, screaming, "Ouch, my back! It hurts so much."Sierra snapped out of her daze, looking at the person on the ground—a silver-haired elderly man. She could not fathom how she bumped into him, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of her father's illegitimate child. Could she really have bumped into someone?The elderly man's expression seemed too exaggerated, though.Sierra was walking at a normal speed. How could she have hit him so hard?"You owe me money," the old man said, looking at Sierra. "My back… It’s broken."Sierra was at a loss for words.Now she understood she had encountered a scam.Sierra was furious. Already in a bad mood, she had nowhere to vent her frustration. Typically, she might have given a small amount to avoid trouble, but not today! Her anger was seeking an outlet, and this scammer

In no time, people dispersed, leaving only Sierra and Dan."It’s okay. Everything's fine now," Dan said gently to Sierra.Sierra looked at Dan, gratitude and admiration filling her eyes. "Thank you."Dan smiled warmly. "No need to thank me. I've seen you twice before. Do you live in the second building?"Sierra laughed. "No, it's my mom who lives here."Dan nodded, suddenly realizing, "Ah, I see."It seemed his guess was correct."Hi, I'm Sierra." Sierra smiled, extending her hand to Dan."Dan." Dan shook hands with Sierra.Sierra hesitated for a moment. It might be her imagination, but it felt like Dan had exerted a little force while shaking her hand, making her feel his strength. His palm was broad. There was a slight callus tickling her smooth hand.Her heart fluttered, and she glanced deeply at Dan.Dan caught her gaze, smiling gently. "You must have been scared just now. How about a drink to calm your nerves?"Sierra looked at Dan, nodding with a smile. "Sure."Her f
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 226 Appeasing the Girl Again
Sierra said, "...No."Now that her parents' divorce was inevitable, how could she stop it? Even if her dad did not want to divorce, her mom was determined to."So, what do you want me to do?" Paige asked.Sierra looked at Paige and moved her lips, wanting to say something but unsure how to start.Paige looked back at Sierra, understanding her sister's thoughts. Sierra had already talked to her about it the last time. What Sierra wanted was Quirks Enterprise.Before, Sierra had always seen Quirk Enterprise as their family's treasure. Since the Quirks only had two daughters, with Paige being less favored, Sierra always assumed the Quirks would naturally be hers. However, Bob now had a son with another woman, and it was not just any son. It was a grandson their grandparents had long awaited to carry on the Quirks’ legacy."Sierra, Quirk Enterprise was built up by Grandpa and Grandma and handed down to Dad... It's the effort of two generations, and we haven't contributed anything

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

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.
