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

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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 32 Chris Is a Shopaholic
Chris led the way while Paige followed behind him. Paige was willing to do whatever Chris asked, so long as it was not breaking the law. She followed Chris to the second floor. The mall was a large shopping complex with a supermarket and jewelry section on the first floor and fashion stores on the second to fourth floors.The place carried various luxury brands. Chris took Paige into a store. Then, Paige witnessed the exaggerated shopping spree she had seen on TV before. “Not that, or that, and that. I’ll take everything else in her size.” Paige was moved to tears by Chris’ generosity. She could not believe she was living a scene out of a soap opera. That was really how the rich shopped. Although she came from a wealthy family, Paige had never bought luxury items so freely. She had a limited allowance. Her parents gave her twenty thousand dollars in pocket money every month. To the working class, the amount was a lot. However, it was just a drop in the bucket to an
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 33 Allowance
Chris’ clothes occupied the closet before, but Paige’s outfits had filled the space to the brim. Before, Paige believed Chris had a lot of clothes. Now, the possessions Chris owned were insignificant compared to hers. Paige stayed in the closet for a while before leaving the place. She tried on an outfit, then another. When she walked out of the closet, Chris was sitting on the bed, dressed in a bathrobe after a shower. Paige was dumbfounded. ‘That was fast’. He looked at Paige. She stared back at Chris, confused. She did not understand why he was looking at her. Chris had no words. Was it that hard to understand? He believed the message could not have been clearer. With his eyes on Paige, Chris pointed to the bathroom with his chin. Paige was shocked. She got it right away. Chris was telling her to shower. He was looking to get some… She got it. She totally got it. Blushing, Paige grabbed her pajamas and slipped into the bathroom. While picking paja

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.

"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,
