“Chris…” Unable to take it anymore, Sierra ran to Chris and held onto his hands tightly. She cried in tears. “I was wrong, Chris. I know I was. Please give me another chance. I really love you, Chris.” Sierra wailed out loud. She was lost in James’ tenderness. However, despite his affection, he was not as extraordinary as Chris. Due to Chris's indifference, she was tempted by James's tenderness and consideration. If Chris had shown her even a little concern or affection, she would not have strayed to James.Paige was speechless. ‘Well, this is awkward.’Here was her sister, pinning after her husband in tears. Paige did not know how to deal with the situation. So, she just stood there. Chris did not pull away from Sierra’s grip. Instead, he looked at Paige. Paige was dumbfounded by the staring.

Chris only loved Sierra. Yet, now, Chris said to her face that he did not love her. He never had. The fact that Chris did not have feelings for her was a blow to Sierra’s confidence. Sierra’s belief, the very thing supporting her pride and smugness, was non-existent. At that moment, Sierra felt like her whole world had fallen apart. Paige and Wendy looked at Chris in shock. Like Sierra, they had thought Chris was in love with Sierra. Otherwise, he did not have to choose her. “No.” Sierra bounced back and said, staring into Chris’ eyes. “If you don’t love me, why did you get engaged to me?” Chris replied without emotions, “Everybody at home wanted to get involved in my marriage.” He was Chris Jewell, the future successor to the Jewells’ billion-dollar corporation.

Paige was speechless.She did not give up on persuading Chris. “Look, murder is a crime. You won’t get away with killing me. I don’t think you would want to throw your life away because of me, right? It’s not worth it.” Chris smirked. “Do you think I’ll do the job myself?” Paige said, “It’s still a crime to mastermind a murder. You’ll be convicted.” Chris uttered, “If I do it, I’ll make sure the plan is foolproof. Don’t worry. I won’t throw my life away because of you.” Paige had no words. Based on what he said, it sounded like he would hire an assassin to kill her so he would not be linked back to it.With the power he possessed, Paige believed Chris could make it happen. Actually, he would have no difficulty planning the perfect murder. Paige was without a word. She dared not say anything as she could potentially make Chris angry and kill her without a trace. The last thing she would ever do was cheat on him. … The pair arrived at city hall. They submitted t

Like before, Chris handled the check-out while Paige stood far away with her face down to hide her embarrassment. To check everything was in order, the receptionist called the cleaner to inspect the room for any damage or items used by the guest.They communicated through a walkie-talkie. Since Paige stood a distance away, she could not hear the interaction clearly. Nevertheless, she picked up on the consumption of two boxes of protection. Paige’s head hung lower. She did not dare look at anyone. She wished she could bury herself in a hole.
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 46 The Boy Next Door
So, Paige changed her attitude. If she gave Sierra a chance and helped her to persuade Chris, Sierra would only spiral deeper into the hopeless relationship and hurt herself in the end. There was no one home as expected. Paige put her passport back in the study and took off. Someone called out her name when she walked out of the front door. “Paige.” The voice was strange but somewhat familiar. The person talking sounded cheery, too. Surprised, Paige turned around and looked at the man approaching her. With his back against the light, the sunset cast a faint orange on him, making him appear warm and tender. “What? Don’t you know me anymore?” The man came close to Paige and asked with a smile. Snapping out of her thoughts, Paige shook her head with a blushing face. “…No.” She took several deep breaths to pull herself together before asking the man, “What brings you here, Randy?”The man was Randall Lott. His family lived in the same neighborhood as the Quirks, so bot

Paige gave a nod. Chris said goodbye to his group. The business partners left as they had other plans for the evening. Chris approached Paige and said, “Come on.” Paige nodded. “Okay.” She smiled at Randall and said, “You should get home with Sierra, Randy. We’re leaving.” Randall nodded. Sierra did as well, her eyes lingering on Chris. Although Chris broke her heart with his cruel words, she still could not get over him. Chris was a captivating man. His social status and family wealth aside, Chris had the looks and personality women appealed to. He acted without emotions, and no woman could win his heart. It was the type of personality that challenged women to tame and capture his heart. He was easy to love and harder to fall out of love with. Sierra knew that. However, there was no turning back between her and Chris. The right thing to do was move on from Chris and be with James. Although James could not compete with Chris, she was reaching high by being w
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 48 Running Into Sierra and James
Paige did not like Kyle. She did not have a good feeling about the man. However, she thought Chris and Kyle were friends. That was not a nice thing to say about his own friend. “How is he bad?” Paige asked. Chris replied, “He has no dignity. He’s sleazy with women.” Paige had no words. She could guess the filthy tricks he pulled on women. Lisa must be one of his victims… Paige brushed off her thoughts. Kyle would never do that to Lisa. Paige could tell Lisa was happy to be with Kyle. She nodded and said, “Got it. I will keep my distance from him.” Paige believed she would not cross paths with Kyle again. She continued looking for a place to rent. Seeing that Paige was focused on finding a place, Chris snatched her phone. “What are you doing?” Paige looked at him in shock. Why did he steal her phone? Did he have nothing better to do? He did that out of nowhere. Chris looked at her and replied, “You can forget renting. I’ll get you a house if you make me

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.

"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,
