New Romance in Marriage Chapter 24 Delusional
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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 25 Roommates’ Strange Behavior
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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 26 Invite Chris Out
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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 27 Some Respect
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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 28 Pot Stirrer
“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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 29 Tough Paige
Paige stared at her roommates, her eyes wide with surprise. Millie, Lisa, and Annabelle appeared friendly, as if they were close to Tanya. They had only met Tanya the day before.

Paige’s three roommates were infuriated at Tanya for her sake after they ran into Tanya and Chris having dinner at the restaurant last night. Today, they had a change of attitude. Lisa, Annabelle, and Millie saw the look on Paige’s face and felt awkward. Yesterday, they supported Paige in teaching Tanya a lesson because they thought she was a mistress. Today, they were chummy with the mistress.“Paige, you got the wrong idea about Tanya,” Lisa said with a smile. Paige had no words. Tanya looked at Lisa in confusion and asked Paige, “What? What wrong idea did you have about me?” Lisa answered with a grin, “Paige thinks something is going on between you and C

From a woman to a woman, Paige saw the love in Tanya’s eyes as she looked at Chris. Tanya had a romantic candlelight dinner with Chris the night before, and now she tried to be chummy with Chris. It was a punch in the gut for Paige, who was Chris’ wife. No matter the circumstances of their marriage, Paige was still Chris’ wife.Tanya had no right to put Paige down. Paige believed she had become arrogant. She was afraid of Chris’ revenge and torment in the early days of their marriage. As Paige got to know him, she gradually lost her fear as Chris treated her with respect, except in the bedroom. Chris did nothing to her when she kicked up a huge fuss last night. “What’s the matter, Ms. Burns? You look upset.” With her eyes fixed on Tanya, Paige asked with a smile. Before T

Tanya gave Lisa and the others a look. The lot got the hint and started to persuade Paige, “Go on, Paige. It has been a while since we’ve been to a bar together.” “That’s right, Paige. It’s still early. It’s not like you have anything else planned.” Since Paige wanted to go anyway, she looked expectantly at Chris. “Babe, can we…” Chris interrupted Paige. “We have plans.” Speechless, Paige blinked and looked at Chris in confusion. She wondered what their plans were for the evening. There was nothing going on at home. Chris took Paige’s hand before telling everybody, “We should get going. I hope you have a great time.” He then pulled Paige up and took off. Paige did not protest. She simply let Chris drag her along. … Chris and Paige walked out of the restaurant. A few feet later, he paused. Paige fixated on Chris. Why did he stop walking? “Come on.” Chris pulled Paige along. Paige asked, “…Where to?” “Shopping,” Chris answered. Paige was dumbfounded. S

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 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 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?"

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.
