New Romance in Marriage Chapter 382 Faint From Anger
Mildred's eyes flickered as she said, "Justin… It wasn't intentional. He surely didn't mean to."Bob retorted, "Even if it wasn't intentional, he injured me and left Dad unconscious. If it were intentional, would he be a murderer?"Mildred fell silent for a moment before defending, "Justin is not that kind of person. He's a kind kid. How could he commit murder?"Bob stared at Mildred. "Mom, if Dad remains unconscious, what's the difference between Justin and a murderer? You love him so much and treat him so well, but when it comes to me and Dad, did he show us any kindness?"Just as Mildred was about to speak, Bob interrupted, "I've called the police, Mom. If you keep defending Justin, you might as well go back to the Lawsons."Mildred looked at Bob, boiling with anger. She felt that Bob was anything but filial. She gave birth to him, and he owed his success to her, only for him to treat her with such disrespect.She had taught Bob from a young age to treat the Lawsons well and c
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 383 Tina’s Situation
Although Tina did not miscarry, the baby's health did not look too promising.Paige stared at the doctor in surprise. Dr. Clarke would usually stick to the medical side of things without saying anything else.Today was different."Is Tina… not doing well?" Paige asked.Dr. Clarke nodded. Then, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, Tina… It could be because Niel is a little occupied."Paige was puzzled. Were they not talking about Tina's condition? Why bring Niel into the conversation?Slowly, it dawned on Paige. Dr. Clarke implied that Niel's busy schedule left little time for Tina, leading to her emotional distress. Did Tina really need Niel's constant presence?Dr. Clarke conducted the check-up, changed some of her medications, and left with the nurse without elaborating further.Paige turned to Chris and asked, "What did Dr. Clarke mean?"Chris glanced at Paige. "You're a woman. Don't you understand?"Paige quirked an eyebrow. "Should women automatically un
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 384 Tina Miscarries
He would come home late every day, claiming he had business meetings, but who had that many meetings? Even Chris did have that many. Though she stayed locked in her room, she got the lowdown on the situation upstairs from the maid and the nurse.The maid mentioned that Chris never went to the office, mostly staying home with Paige and reading fairytales at her bedside. The nurse shared how Chris sincerely inquired about Paige and the child every day, showing genuine concern. Each time she changed Paige's bandages, Chris would remind her to be careful...They all said Chris loved Paige, cared for her, and protected her. Upon hearing that, Tina's heart ached. Both she and Paige married into the Jewell family, both pregnant, and both on bed rest. However, the difference in treatment from their husbands was stark. Paige had the attentive Chris by her side, while Tina's husband seemed indifferent to her well-being. His morning greetings felt so perfunctory. How did she end
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 385 Tina Miscarries
Tina, with tears streaming down her face, asked persistently, "Tell me, who were those friends?"Niel glared at Tina, feeling a surge of anger boil in him. Exhausted from a night of drinking, he was physically and mentally tired. All he wanted was a shower and a good night's sleep, not dealing with Tina in the middle of the night.Despite his fatigue, he suppressed his temper. Tina's health was weak, and the doctor had warned against upsetting her; she needed to maintain a happy and calm mood at all times."It was just Quinton and the others," Niel replied. "It's late. Stop crying and go to sleep. Get some rest."Tina could sense Niel’s indifference toward her. As a pregnant woman, she was crying so sadly in the middle of the night, yet her husband showed no inclination to comfort her. He just wanted to dismiss her and send her off to sleep.He seemed utterly unconcerned about her feelings or well-being.In the past, he used to care for her deeply. Did he not care about h
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 386 Wishful Thinking
Between the two households, there was indeed competition.Regardless, the unborn child was innocent. Chris saw Paige's uneasy expression and reassured her, "Don't be afraid. You'll be fine."Paige looked at Chris, surprised by his remark. Does he think she's afraid because of Tina's miscarriage?She smiled gently and nodded. "I'm not afraid." With Chris by her side, she had no fear.In the morning, Chris left for urgent matters at the company. Ann arrived shortly after. She revealed more details about Tina's miscarriage.It turned out that Neil was the one who pushed Tina and caused the miscarriage.Ann said to Paige, "Don't worry, Chris is not like Neil. He won't be stirring trouble with other women." Ann confidently made this assurance to Paige as Chris had a lack of interest in other women.Paige blushed slightly. She nodded shyly. "Yeah, Mom, I know."After some thought, Ann added, "Just wait another three months. After that, you don't have to be overly careful… It’s
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 387 For the Rest of My Life
Paige stayed silent. Chris asked, "What's wrong? Feeling unconvinced?" He chuckled and said, “Let’s switch roles. Imagine you, a wealthy and accomplished woman, with everything at your fingertips. Now, there’s a divorced man in the picture. Even if he matches you in terms of status and looks, would you marry him? He has an ex-wife and maybe even children. Would you take that step?”Paige paused, stunned. Chris grinned, saying, "See? You hesitated. That means you would think twice about marrying a divorcee. With your outstanding qualities, you could easily find an unmarried man who matches you. Why go for a divorced man with an ex-wife and kids?“Considering the children, he can’t completely sever ties with his ex-wife. They married and had children together, so there’ll always be a bond. Can you be sure that they won’t rekindle old feelings during their interactions?“Once you marry this man, you become a stepmother. Being a stepmother is challenging, it’s not just talk. If yo
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 388 Tina's Hatred
She looked at her baby who had the shape of a baby boy.A boy she had been eagerly anticipating for three years.Her child was just a few months away from entering this beautiful world. However, due to Niel's actions, that chance was forever lost.In the hospital room, Janet and Liam yelled at Niel."Look at what you've done! What were you thinking? Tina was pregnant, and you acted without any consideration," Janet scolded. It was her grandson—the eldest of the Jewells' generation and a firstborn who could bring immense benefits to their family.Niel, feeling both angry and remorseful, didn't defend himself. He knew he was at fault in this matter.Yet, he believed Tina was also at fault.Why was Tina not letting him rest in the middle of the night, escalating the situation into a quarrel? Niel wasn't feeling well due to the alcohol he had consumed, and she still chose to argue with him. How could he be in a good mood?While he acknowledged his responsibility, he felt Tina a
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 389 Fight to Death
Liam continued, "The matters at home won't escape your grandfather's notice. Once he’s aware of this… his impression of you will only worsen."The situation of a pregnant wife while the husband indulged in excesses outside, leading to the tragic loss of their child… Liam could imagine how furious his father would be. Niel remained silent, lips pursed. Claiming not to regret would be a lie, but what use was regret now? The deed was done.Liam looked at Niel, obviously disappointed. As the eldest grandson of the Jewells, Niel had been showered with affection until Chris came into the picture. With Chris showcasing exceptional talents, Niel seemed increasingly ordinary. If only Chris were his son, how wonderful that would be!While intelligence might be an innate trait, what about character and temperament? Just look at Chris's calm and reserved nature. In comparison, Niel was impulsive and quick-tempered. He may keep up a good public appearance, but Liam knew what Niel was l

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. "Is it expensive?"Gloria nodded. "It is."“Good thing I didn't take one," the receptionist mumbled. Gloria rolled her eyes.

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

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. He was going overboard with satisfying his physical needs, and she feared that if things continued like that, Niel might end up causing her harm or maybe even unintentionally ending her life.

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.

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

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.

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
