New Romance in Marriage Chapter 273 The Three of Them

However, no. Not only did he refrain from harming them, but he went so far as to facilitate their relationship and ensure their marriage. What kind of otherworldly man could pull off something like that?One could also say he had feelings for Sierra, but after marrying Paige, the things he did… did not seem like the actions of a man in love with Sierra.Even someone as experienced as Wendy could not see through Chris.However, for some reason, Wendy trusted Chris.He was so powerful that nothing seemed beyond him.Since it was a promise from Chr

It was such disgusting behavior. "Madam..." Gloria suddenly asked excitedly in a hushed tone, "Do the other Jewells know about your pregnancy?"Paige nodded. "They do."Excitedly, Gloria asked, "And what was Neil, Tina, and the others' reaction?"Paige thought for a moment before saying, "Nothing special, really."The Jewells maintained a facade of harmony on the surface.Gloria thought about it and agreed.Big families like the Jewells maintained a facade of peace on the surface, no matter how they might feel about each other in private. While Paige and Gloria were chatting happily, Chris returned and heard laughter coming from the secretary's office. Among his three secretaries, Sandra and Margaret were usually composed and reserved. They would not be laughing and joking in the office, and Gloria, being a bit more lively, would usually not have anyone to chat and laugh with.In that case, who was Gloria laughing and joking with?Moreover, the voice sounded somewhat fami

Paige could now express herself smoothly, without stumbling over her words. He did not think she could speak like that without anyone teaching her.Under Chris’s stare, Paige felt a little awkward but, more than anything, shy. How did she bring herself to say something like that? What would Chris think of her?"Even if I’m good-looking, wouldn't you get tired looking at me?" Chris asked.Paige shook her head, keeping her eyes fixed on Chris. "Honey, I could look at your handsome face for a lifetime and would never get tired of it."Although exaggerated, Paige genuinely felt that way. She could truly admire Chris's face for a lifetime. They had been married for several months, and every day, Chris seemed to become more attractive. Chris cast a deep look at Paige, wondering where that girl learned such sweet talk because it was well-learned indeed. Most importantly, he found it incredibly enjoyable.It seemed like Paige was a good learner and Gloria was indeed a qualified te

Did he not think it was expensive?He clearly found the previous cars too pricey to buy for her."Are you getting it?" Paige asked."Do you like it?"Seeing Paige nod, Chris said, "In that case, I’ll get it."After that, Chris placed the order online, with Paige watching him. She could not believe that he was buying a car worth millions when the ones she picked just a few moments ago were only hundreds of thousands or a few million. Why did he not buy those for her?"Why didn't you buy the ones I liked just now?" Paige asked in confusion.Chris said indifferently, "Those cars were cheaper than Tina's."Paige did not know what that meant. Did he not buy the ones earlier because they were too cheap and not because they were too expensive?It slowly dawned on her that Chris was competing with Niel. Since Niel had gifted Tina a car, he wanted to gift her something even more expensive.When did Chris become so childish?Chris looked at Paige, saying seriously, "It’s because m

Then, the waiter started serving the dishes, and everyone began to eat. As they enjoyed their meal, Maria Leon spoke up with a smile. "Sierra, do you have any requests or preferences regarding the wedding?"Maria was James' mother.Blushing, Sierra said coyly, "Mrs. Burt, I don't have any specific requests or preferences for the wedding. As long as I can marry James, I'll be content."Maria was pleased with Sierra's response. She had been worried that Sierra and the Quirks would make extravagant demands."I know you're a good girl," Maria said with a smile.

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,
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.

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.
