You should’ve been worried back when Sierra cheated on Chris."Bob stayed silent.Mildred reassured, "No need to fear. Chris won't dare to do it."Bob questioned, "He won't?"Mildred nodded with a smile. "He won't. Just think about it. If he retaliates against the Quirks, what would the people say? They'd accuse him of being heartless, going so far as to destroy his wife's family. Moreover, the Jewells have adversaries too! Their rivals won't miss any opportunity to attack them. Once the Jewells reveal a weakness, their rivals will pounce and tear them apart. In the world of business, especially in this era of advanced internet, reputation is crucial."Bob fell into silence.Mildred had convinced him.His mom's analysis seemed reasonable.Deep down, he still worried about Chris seeking revenge against the Quirks, but what his mom said was undeniably tempting.If Chris did com

Linda felt a pang in her heart. She bit her lip, eyes reddening as she looked at Bob. She knew Bob was upset, bothered by her past—a past she had kept from him.But right now, Bob had more pressing matters to attend to. His top priorities were Chris and Paige.Mildred, visibly angered, questioned, "Why go find her?"Bob had the strong urge to give Mildred a piece of his mind. Everything was going well until she intervened. She insulted Paige right in front of Chris, and that was why Chris got upset.Suppressing his anger, Bob said, "We need to apologize to Paige."The only solution was clear—they needed to make amends with Paige.Bob decided to humble himself, setting aside his pride and dignity to seek forgiveness from Paige.

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 287 The Last Time
Paige can deal with Chris after this. As Chris had a soft spot for her, it would be easy for her to appease him."Hello Paige, just dropping in to check on you," Bob grinned.Chris replied with a calm demeanor, "So, Mr. Quirk's the kind to visit without even bringing a get-well gift?"Typically, people would pack fruits when visiting someone in the hospital."Uh..." Bob chuckled awkwardly, "I was in a rush. I was too worried about Paige so I didn't get the chance to grab anything."Chris snorted but didn't say anything more.Paige got the picture. Her dad rushing to the hospital wasn't because he was worried about her health. He was here to discuss the online mess.With both Chris and Paige opting for silence, Bob felt compelled to break it."Paige... sigh..." Bob sighed heavily, his face filled with concern. "About the online stuff, Dad knows about it… I don't know how your grandmother pulled off something like that."Paige locked eyes with Bob, trying to unravel the meaning

Bob looked at Paige nervously, "Paige..."“Dad,” Paige interrupted, “I’m serious. I won’t forgive the Quirks. I won’t retaliate, but this is the last time. I won’t tolerate the Quirks anymore. From now on, whatever the Quirks do is none of my concern. Consider it as if you don’t have a daughter.”"I know what you're worried about, Dad. You fear Chris might take revenge on you Quirks. But," Paige locked eyes with Bob, "he won't. Chris won't harm you. However, he won't assist you either. That means you and the rest of the family can't use Chris's name in the future."Bob was silent.This was not what he wanted.Although Paige promised not to take any action against them, anyone with a brain could tell that the incident was orchestrated by them. The rift between the Quirks and Jewells had widened. If the Jewells did nothing to change the situation, the Quirks would find it extremely difficult to make a foothold in Hevensford."Paige," Bob furrowed his brows. He looked at Paige apo
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 289 Chris Talks to Paige
That truly was hitting Bob where it hurt the most—Quirk Enterprise. Her dad cared deeply about the company, and with Chris's threat, he would undoubtedly apologize.

She believed that without Paige, there might have been a chance for reconciliation with Chris. However, she had long abandoned that idea.Sierra was a smart woman. She knew who she could rely on.

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 290 How Cruel
Paige felt exposed under Chris's gaze and blushed, asking hesitantly, "What's wrong?"Chris replied, "If you want to invite her for dinner, you can call her now and ask. She hasn't gone far; she'll probably be happy to join us."Paige sighed, feeling like Chris had seen through her. 'If he already knows, then I might as well stop pretending,' she thought.Paige asked straightforwardly, "What did you and my sister talk about just now?"Chris looked at Paige and calmly said, "Nothing much."Paige was annoyed.What does he mean by 'nothing'? Was Chris deceiving her? Does he think she's naive just because she's young? If there's really nothing to hide, why did Sierra and Chris go outside to talk? Couldn't they discuss it in the hospital room? The fact that they chose to speak outside implies there's something they don't want her to know. What's going on between Sierra and Chris that she's not supposed to find out?"What do you mean by 'nothing'?" Paige asked.Chris looked at Pa
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 291 Clearing Bob's Name
Marriage was but a means to deplete her in-laws' resources for the benefit of her maiden family. Mildred had been indoctrinated with the idea that only her maiden family truly mattered, as a husband could be divorced, but parents were forever. The concept that a woman was a burden and should sacrifice for her family was deeply ingrained in Mildred's mind from her upbringing.Her parents taught her that girls were burdens and should play the role of a sacrificial lamb for the family. Her brother, growing up in such an environment, shared the same belief. He thought that his sister should sacrifice herself for his benefit, and any money she earned should ultimately be his.Despite encountering different perspectives as she grew older, Mildred couldn't break free from the mindset she had been raised in. She understood that these beliefs were wrong. But after years of being a sacrificial lamb, it was hard to change. Nevertheless, with the Quirks' standing behind her, Mildred felt c

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?"
