New Romance in Marriage Chapter 366 Eight Lifetimes of Good Fortune Accumulated
Wendy glanced through the surveillance feed and was taken aback to see several police officers in uniform approaching. Her heart skipped a beat. If one had a clear conscience, they would not be afraid of ghosts knocking at their door. However, she had something to hide, and that made her especially nervous.Yet, fear could not keep her from opening the door. Wendy sighed and greeted the officers with a forced smile, "Officers, can I help you with something?""Are you Ms. Wilson?" One of the officers inquired."Yeah, that's me." Wendy nodded."We have a murder case related to you. Please come with us to the police station to assist in the investigation," the officer explained.Wendy felt a shiver down her spine. A murder case? What murder case?"Officer, what murder case are you talking about? I have no idea," Wendy said, trying to maintain composure despite her racing heart and trembling body.The only people she had harmed were Paige and the child growing inside her belly

Chris spoke, "Nowadays, people can be treacherous. You're young and naive and can’t see through it all."Paige stared at Chris with a hint of grievance, wondering why every conversation had to turn into a personal attack."Don't look at me like that," Chris continued. "Haven't you heard the trending phrase? 'Guard against fire, theft, and best friends.' Often, the ones plotting against you are the people closest to you."Paige, indignant, retorted, "My best friends are genuine, not like those online backstabbers."Chris smirked. "How can you be so sure? Do you think you're the only smart one who knows her true friends? Do you think others can't see through it? Or are they all more foolish than you?"Paige was left speechless.Chris added, "Your best friends should be happy for you, wishing you well now that you’re married. However, what about yours? Instead of celebrating, they pity you as if you've entered a grave. Isn't that a kind of curse?""Don’t be ridiculous," Paige prote
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 368 Wendy Seeks Help
It was as if he was the one expecting a child.Chris noticed Paige turning her face away, knowing the young girl was upset."Shelly did it." Chris shifted the topic."Huh?" Paige turned back, puzzled, as she looked at Chris. Was she too slow to catch up with Chris's high IQ train of thought? They were talking about her friends. How did Shelly get involved?Moreover, what did Shelly do?Paige hesitated for a moment and suddenly realized. He was talking about..."Did Shelly threaten Ms. Wilson?" Paige asked in surprise.Chris nodded. The girl was not entirely clueless, and she was getting smarter. Was this the effect of being around a clever person like himself? "How did she know about Ms. Wilson and Dan?" Paige asked, curious.Chris said, "Shelly and Wendy happened to work out at the same gym."What a coincidence! Paige thought.Hevensford had numerous high-end gyms, yet Shelly and Ms. Wilson happened to be in the same one. It must have been when Shelly saw Dan and Ms. W
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 369 Sierra Confesses to Paige
Wendy was not pleased after hearing Sierra's words. Did she need someone to take care of her during the later years of her life? In truth, she did not. Even if she lost the divorce case, the money she could get was substantial enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life. With that, could she not retire on her own terms?"Is it meaningful to talk about those distant things now? If you truly care and love me, you should help me with my current predicament," Wendy said, irritated.Sierra fell silent for a moment and then apologized. "Mom, I'm sorry."Holding the phone tightly, Wendy was furious. She knew Sierra did not want to help her."I know you'll have to rely on Paige and Chris in the future. Since you don't want to offend Paige and Chris for my sake, have you thought about whether Paige would even consider you her sister if she knew what you've done to her?" Wendy said coldly.Since Sierra was disregarding the mother-daughter relationship, Wendy decided not to hold
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 370 Best Friends Are To Blame
Chris remained silent. Paige had a point. No one is a saint; everyone harbors some dirty thoughts at some point in their lives. The difference lies in whether those thoughts manifest into actions. Some act on their dark impulses, while others let those thoughts remain just that–thoughts."While Sierra has done many wrong things to me, no matter what, I can't bring myself to hate her. You, growing up showered with love and expectations, might not understand someone like me. I never experienced the warmth of expectations and love at home. I was scolded and used as a punching bag regularly, especially by my mom. Whenever she argued with Dad or Grandpa, she believed it was because of me. Mom made it crystal clear many times that if it weren't for health issues preventing her from aborting me, she would've gotten rid of me long ago. She said other kids were angels sent to repay their parents, while I was a demon seeking revenge. All her misfortunes and disasters were my fault. I was yo
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 371 Innocent and Well-behaved
Paige nodded obediently.Chris turned to Ann. "What's up?"Ann glanced at Paige and hesitated before asking, "Do you know who's responsible for Paige feeling unwell and bleeding?"Chris and Paige exchanged glances. They were well aware.Chris nodded. "Yeah."Ann looked at Paige, who also nodded.Then, Ann said, "Shelly's mom reached out to me."More accurately, she begged Ann.Ann and Shelly's mom had been socialites since childhood, so they had always had a good relationship. Later, both families married and had children, giving birth to Shelly and Chris. Ann had practically watched Shelly grow up and observed how Shelly's parents raised her.That was why she thought highly of Shelly and believed that Shelly was worthy of her son. As Shelly and Chris got closer, their families' relationships deepened. Ann and Shelly's mom quickly became middle-aged best friends.Even after Shelly and Chris broke up, it did not affect the bond between the two middle-aged friends. However,
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 372 Shelly and Wendy Argue
"If you could harm your grandson, why didn't you do the same to your daughter back then?" Shelly asked with frustration.Wendy remained silent.Could Paige and the baby inside her be considered the same?Paige was a living, breathing person, while the child in her womb was just an undeveloped embryo. In Wendy's eyes, an embryo did not equate to a life, so it was not against her conscience to plot against it."You're a useless woman," Shelly remarked. If Wendy had been a little more useful, Paige might not be alive and kicking right now.Infuriated, Wendy looked at Shelly and replied with contempt, "Useless? If I'm useless, what does that make you? You couldn't outshine Sierra back then, and now, Paige. You helplessly watched as Chris and Sierra got engaged and Paige married Chris. You even witnessed them in love, and now, you're witnessing Paige carrying Chris's child. If I'm useless, you're even more so. If you had any value, you could’ve done something yourself instead of forcin
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 373 The Shepards Apologize
Rory glared at her. "You may say that, but going to jail means your life is over. Do you know what going to jail represents? Your reputation, the Shepards's reputation, and all the effort we've put into you over the years would be in vain. In our circles, those with power and influence won't marry someone with a criminal record."Shelly bit her lip, staying silent. She knew her dad was right.Going to jail would indeed destroy a significant part of her life, but what choice did she have?"Do you think… if I beg Chris, he might let me off?" Shelly looked at her father. "If Chris had even a little sympathy for me or the Shepards, he wouldn’t have gone straight to the police."Rory fell silent.Indeed, what Chris did was too harsh.If Shelly made a mistake, they could negotiate, discuss compensation, and apologize. However, Chris went straight to the police.It meant Chris refused to show the Shepards any mercy.Rory looked at May.With red eyes, May said, "After I found out abou

The receptionist did not reply. Gloria: [You're in trouble. I can't save you now.]The receptionist: [No, I haven't eaten it yet.]Gloria: [Good thing you haven't. I'm coming down.]As soon as the receptionist received Gloria's message, Gloria stepped out of the elevator.Upon reaching the front desk and noticing the bag of strawberry laces opened on the desk, Gloria glared at the receptionist. "You said you hadn't eaten it!"The receptionist looked a little guilty. "I just opened it and haven't had a chance to take one yet."Gloria sneered. "Haven't had a chance? You sound like you regret it."“I don't.""You can't afford this cup of bubble tea. If you did take one, watch out… You might lose your job."The receptionist paused in surprise.

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 he take her for?Besides, what could a woman do with photos? She was not one of those perverted men who did some creepy stuff with women’s photos."Nothing worth admiring?" 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. 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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 696 Chris Gets Jealous
Before, Paige could not understand people showing off their babies and wondered why they would go crazy posting their kids on social media. Now, she got it. She found her kid to be the cutest in the world and could not help but snap his photos and post them on her social media platforms to share him with others, hoping for compliments and praise for her little one.However, she also understood that posting too much could annoy people. Hence, she restrained herself to only posting once a day and made sure to fit in a couple of photos!That was her absolute limit!She felt uneasy if she did not post her baby for a day.

She did not want to move a muscle because every movement brought pain.Niel was thrilled with the new experience, but Ava was suffering. She was starting to regret getting involved with Niel.

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 694 Niel And Ava
Pierre fell silent, pondering Shelly's words carefully. Upon reflection, he found Shelly's proposal to be pretty reasonable and entirely feasible. If he were to wait until Shelly entered prison to serve her sentence, he could break up with her afterward. Once his relationship with Shelly ended, his parents would not be as angry. 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. His parents could not possibly abandon him entirely and let him fend for himself. By lowering himself in front of his parents, he believed they would not neglect him. 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. Five million might seem like an astronomical figure, but for the second son of the Alfonsos, it was not much.After much deliberation
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 693 Shelly Wants Money
She looked at the evil smile on Chris' face, and it all came back to her.Did Chris Intentionally take Hunter to the guest room to hand him over to the nanny so that it would make it easier for him to do what he wanted? What a scumbag! However, since it was something she had personally agreed to, she would not back out.Paige did not resist Chris, and a long time later, she collapsed on the bed. She felt like she should have taken care of Hunter and not fallen for Chris' tricks.Taking care of a child was not as exhausting!She was too tired to even move her fingers.The next day, Paige slept until late morning and then got up to go down for breakfast.When Ann saw Paige, she asked with concern, "Paige, didn't you sleep well last night?"Paige looked really worn out."Didn't Hunter sleep with the nanny last night?" Ann asked curiously.Paige blushed with embarrassment and said, "Last night… I wasn't used to sleeping without Hunter, so I didn't get a good sleep."Ann smile
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
