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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 292 Nina Burt
Chris nodded.Paige said, "I'm still not used to how Mom's treating me well now."Chris looked at her and said, "Do you want her to be hostile again? Do you prefer it when she treats you poorly?"Paige responded, "It's not that. It's just... Mom's attitude changed too quickly. That makes me uneasy. Do you think she would be unhappy if I had a daughter?"Perhaps the experiences she had in the Quirks' family made her fearful. Paige was especially afraid that Ann might not like her if she had a daughter. She worried that her daughter would be treated the way she had been by her grandparents.Chris reassured her, "Whether she's happy or not, it doesn't matter. Whether it's a son or a daughter, they are our child, not theirs."He understood Paige. Growing up in such an environment had left her with these worries. If Paige had grown up in a family full of love and care, she wouldn't have these thoughts and concerns. His wife had indeed endured too much hardship in the past."Stop ov
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 293 Lisa's Scheme
Shelly calmly replied, "Let’s see." She stood up and told Tanya, "I have things to attend to. If you don't mind, I'll leave now."Tanya nodded, saying with a smile, "Sure, go ahead. I'll stay a bit longer."As Shelly left, Tanya stirred her coffee with a spoon. Nina was coming back.…In the morning, when Paige woke up, Chris was no longer in bed. However, Paige knew that Chris had spent the night at the hospital with her.The hospital bed was a bit short for a tall man like Chris, and sharing a small bed was cramped. Although Chris could have gone home to sleep comfortably in a larger bed, he chose to stay and squeeze onto the hospital bed with her.Feeling warm inside, Paige blushed slightly when the nurse entered, saying, "You're awake? Mr. Ji asked us to tell you that he went to the company and will come back to the hospital in the afternoon.""Ah," Paige responded, her face turning a bit red. Why did Chris have to tell the nurse all that? He could have just told her direc
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 294 Malicious Trio
Paige suddenly looked at Chris, who was engrossed in his work. She thought Chris was rather good at getting people out.Sensing something, Chris raised his head and met Paige's gaze.Paige blinked. Chris, understanding the unspoken cue, stood up and approached the bedside. Lisa, Millie, and Annabelle turned their attention to Chris.Chris said to Paige, "You should rest."Paige didn’t respond.Lisa smiled and said, "Get a good rest, Paige. We'll visit you another day."Paige nodded, "Alright."Lisa and the others stood up, bidding farewell to Paige. "See you, Paige, Mr. Jewell”"See you." The trio left, and Paige let out a sigh of relief.Chris looked at Paige and asked, "Do you still keep in touch with them?"Paige hesitated and Chris remarked, "Those with ill intentions should have been cut off long ago."Paige awkwardly replied, "We used to share a dorm, and Annabelle and I are in the same department. It's hard to completely sever ties. That wouldn't be appropriate."C
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 295 Shameless Lisa
Paige stared at Chris. What was he saying?Chris looked at the phone, and Paige anxiously glanced at the screen, which showed the other party was typing. Soon, a message arrived.Lisa: [Actually, it's not necessary to have a maid.]Paige: [Huh? What do you mean?]Lisa: [Paige, if you trust me, I'm willing.]Paige: [Willing for what?]Lisa: [I'm willing to help you... take care of Chris.]Paige was left dumbfounded, unable to comprehend Lisa's shocking words. How could Lisa say something like this? Chris observed Paige's reaction. She finally understood that those girls from the dorm did not have pure intentions toward him.Paige was shocked by Lisa's words. She couldn't understand how Lisa could express such shameless intentions. Was Lisa out of her mind? Or had Lisa completely lost her sense of decency?Lisa wasn't insane. She understood that expressing such shameless intentions might be unacceptable to most people. In the past, Lisa wouldn’t have accepted such behavior a
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 296 Far From Over
Paige gritted her teeth, "Endure it!"Chris responded, "The doctor said enduring it for too long is harmful."Paige stared at him.Chris looked at Paige, "What do you think we should do?"Paige hesitated. She wasn't a doctor; how was she supposed to know what to do?"Would you really let me endure this and risk harming my health?" Chris asked. "If my health is compromised, there's a chance it might not work in the future."Paige replied, "...It can't be that serious."Chris raised an eyebrow. "You don't believe me?"Paige nodded and said, "Women all over the world get pregnant. It's not just me. Other women go through it too. How do their partners handle it?"Chris said, "Did you miss what Lisa told you just now? Husbands are most likely to cheat during their wife's pregnancy. As for other men... they stray."Paige hesitated and replied, "Even if some do, that's only a small percentage. What about the majority?"Chris raised an eyebrow, "Small percentage?"The young girl se

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 298 Holy Water and Amulet
Even if Mildred gave Justin the money, what difference would that make? She may not have cash on hand, but she still owned several commercial properties and houses easily worth tens of millions. If she needed money, she could simply sell the properties. After all, she had intended to pass them on to Justin later on."Thank you, Grandaunt. You can trust me; I won't let you down. Once I make money, I'll repay you immediately," Justin assured.Mildred nodded with a smile. "Alright, I believe in you."Mildred transferred the money to Justin.

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

"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. The elders in the family revolved around Hunter all day long. Zander’s first question upon waking up each morning was about Hunter, followed by Ann cuddling Hunter, calling him her darling, and so on.It seemed like everyone had forgotten about Chris.How could Chris, who had always been so cherished, accept that?Chris's expression stiffened as if his thoughts had been unexpectedly revealed, his eyes flickering momentarily.Paige chuckled and said, "Are you seriously competing with a child for attention? Besides, you've been pampered by the family for so many years. Hunter has only been pampered for a few days."Chris retorted coldly, "I'm not competing with him."Paige did not buy it for a second. She smiled and said, "Sure, you're not competing with him. You're just afraid we'll spoil Hunter."A

Pierre fell silent, pondering Shelly's words carefully. Upon reflection, he found Shelly's proposal to be pretty reasonable and entirely feasible.

Even if there were some constraints preventing them from openly helping him, they could still assist him discreetly. After all, he was their son, who shared the same blood with them.

By then, acquiring the five million dollars would not be too difficult.Shelly watched Pierre, not pressing him to respond. She believed Pierre knew what choice to make.

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. He meant that although she did not have money, she still had a young body.It seemed all Chris lusted was her body."I’m still recovering," Paige said with a slight blush on her face. She knew Chris had been patient for a long time. They barely had any intimacy during the last trimester of her pregnancy, but there was nothing she could do. She did not want to refuse him, but her body would not allow it.Chris glanced at Paige and said, "We can try other
