New Romance in Marriage Chapter 233 Shut Up
Even if Paige could not accept Linda, she would definitely accept Gene. After all, Gene was her little brother, sharing half of their blood, and blood was thicker than water."Paige, you shouldn't argue with Dad like that," Sierra advised. Paige furrowed her brow, asking, "Sierra, are you going to accept them?" By them, she meant Linda and Gene.Sierra paused, sighed, and said softly, "Whether I accept them or not, what difference does it make? Would Dad abandon them just because I can't accept them?" Her tone was filled with melancholy.Paige found Sierra’s words true. Bob would not abandon Linda and Gene just because Sierra did not accept them. Gene was the son Bob and her grandparents had been hoping for many years; he was the one to inherit Quirk Enterprise."I envy you so much," Sierra said. "You're married and don't have to live with the Quirks. After Dad and Mom divorce, he'll definitely let them move into the house. By then, I'll be in this house..." Sierra's words
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 234 Say You Love Me
Paige took a deep breath, mustering her courage to blurt it out, "Sierra wants to tie the knot with James, but it seems like James isn't keen on the whole marriage thing. So, Sierra has sent me to gauge his stance and feel out the situation with James."She spoke quickly, without a pause in between. Paige feared that if she stopped, she might lose the nerve to spill the beans.Chris stared at Paige, a prolonged silence hanging in the air. Paige, nervously biting her lip, met Chris's gaze with wide, shimmering eyes."Have you asked him?" Chris finally inquired.Paige shook her head cautiously and whispered, "Not yet.""Oh," was all Chris said, leaving Paige feeling increasingly uneasy.She waited with bated breath, half-expecting a scolding that never came. There was just silence. Confused, Paige wondered, that was it? Did he have nothing more to say?"Should I… ask him?" Paige asked tentatively. She felt like she was walking on thin ice, pushing Chris's limits.Chris respon

Sierra also had her pride."However, forcing won't do any good," Chris said.Paige looked at him, puzzled. "Why?"Chris explained, "People who want to get married will marry you no matter what. For those who don't want to marry you, no amount of pressure will work. Even if you force someone to marry you through extreme means, the marriage won't be happy."Paige suspected Chris was cursing Sierra, cursing that she would be unhappy after marriage."But… why?" Paige asked. "Why doesn't James want to marry my sister? They seem so in love."Sierra betrayed her fiancé for James, who knew she had a fiancé but still chose to be with her.Was that not because of love? If they loved each other, why not get married?If two people love each other, they should get married.Ordinary people might have issues like cars, houses, and dowries that could cause conflicts, but both the Burts and the Quirks were wealthy. They did not have to worry about money, so why not get married?"Heh..." Chris
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 236 Can't Sleep
Chris expressed confidently, “They won’t break up.”Paige questioned, “Why do you think so? Are you that confident in Sierra and James’s love?”“They're both scoundrels. One would say they're a perfect match in that regard. No one else would be right for them,” Chris explained.Paige was rendered speechless.Shortly after, she received a reply from James.James: [I want to spend a few more years in our own world with Sierra. I love her, and I want to love her wholeheartedly.]Paige: [Can't you be in your own world after getting married? Marriage allows you to do that openly.]James did not reply. Paige continued, [Do you know the pressure she's under now? She chose you over Chris and betrayed him. Yet, you drag your feet on marrying her. Do you know how many people are laughing at her behind her back?]James: [I know I’ve wronged her.]Paige: [Great that you acknowledge you've wronged her. For you, she gave up Chris—a man who surpasses you in ability, appearance, and character
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 237 Chris' Temper
Chris casually shook his head, commenting, "Typical small-mindedness of a woman."Paige gritted her teeth, glaring at Chris with anger. "You should learn from me. Just look at how great my temper is," Chris continued."Hmph," Paige scoffed, offering a mocking gaze in response. Chris raised an eyebrow. "You don't think I have a great temper?"Paige shook her head, "Not at all."Chris gave Paige a meaningful look, "Truly pitiful. So young, yet so blind."Paige fumed in silence.Chris continued, "You couldn't even see how great someone's temperament is when they're right next to you."Paige glared at Chris in anger. How dare he say she's blind? Her vision was perfectly fine.Chris raised an indifferent eyebrow, "Isn't it so? Sierra and James both betrayed me, and yet I endured it without retaliation. Don't you think I have an extremely great temper?"Paige stayed silent, contemplating Chris's question. Chris asked indifferently, "How many people do you think could handle thin

However, she couldn't help but add a cautious plea, "Just promise me, Chris, don't say anything untrue to my sister."Chris nodded in agreement, "Sure."Despite Chris' assurance, Paige remained uneasy. She decided to keep a close watch, ready to snatch the phone back if Chris deviated from his promise.She was determined to do whatever it took to prevent any misinformation from reaching her sister.Chris took
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 239 I'll Help Her
Paige could not fathom what Chris was planning."Are you... plotting something?" Paige cautiously probed Chris.Chris smiled faintly. "What could I be plotting? I simply hope they live a harmonious life and have children soon.""I'm not believing that!" Paige exclaimed.How could Chris be so kind? Sierra and James betrayed him, yet he wasn't angry with them and wished them a happy life?Chris said calmly, "You'll believe me when they're married."Paige pondered. Could her sister and James really get married?Did he think she was truly naive and gullible, ready to believe whatever he said? She had a mind of her own, with intelligence to match.Chris said calmly, "You'll believe me when they're married."Paige pondered.

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,
