last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
Shelly had been bombarded with all sorts of nasty comments and judgments the past few days.

Once a person celebrated by friends, she now faced relentless criticism from both men and women. Some even went so far as to insult her with money, inviting her to fool around with them for a price.

Shelly was furious.

She knew leaving the Shepards would put her in a tough spot, but she never expected it to be that difficult. It had not been long since she left home, and her former friends were already treating her like that.

The future looked bleak.

Pierre, who now lived with Shelly, experienced a similar downfall. Those who once praised him were now turning their backs on him, but he took it in stride. He saw it as an opportunity to distinguish between genuine friends and fair-weather companions.

Pierre was content.

Living with Shelly, like a married couple, felt like a dream come true.

"Hey, darling." Pierre approached Shelly, embraced her, and asked with a smile, "What do you feel

    Paige could not care less about her mom. Thanks to the messy divorce, her dad and mom had become bitter enemies, so there was no chance she would lend a hand to their mom. In that case, her mom would have no choice but to rely on herself.However, if her mom squandered the money or got swindled, she would have to spend Sierra’s money.Sierra pondered over it and decided to have a chat with Wendy about where the money went after her stint in jail.… Sierra arranged to meet Wendy at a coffee shop. When Wendy arrived, Sierra noticed she had aged in the short span they had not seen each other. Once a well-groomed lady, even with age, Wendy managed to retain her elegance. Yet now, Wendy’s wrinkles had become apparent, fatigue had taken a toll on her, and her eyes were clouded.It looked like her mother was afraid of going to jail. It must have been a tough time for Wendy, and perhaps she had been struggling to eat or sleep."Mom," Sierra called out to Wendy.Wendy nodded fain

    Caught off guard, Wendy stared at Sierra. She had not expected Sierra to think that far ahead."I wanted to manage your assets because I trust I wouldn't take a penny from you, but I don't trust anyone else. However, it seems you prefer to trust those so-called intermediaries and financial advisors over your daughter." Sierra expressed her frustration and sadness.Wendy hurriedly explained, "No, Sierra, it's not that. I just…”Sierra looked at Wendy and asked, "Just what?"Wendy opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself at a loss for words. In reality, she feared Sierra might have an eye on her wealth because she knew Sierra was not happy with the dowry she provided, finding it inadequate.Sierra had not explicitly mentioned it, but being Sierra's mother, Wendy understood her daughter's thoughts and actions perfectly. To Wendy, it was not about Sierra coveting her wealth; it was because that was all she had left. Having divorced Bob, relying on her family

    Chris glanced at Paige's round belly."You like the beef stew?" Chris asked.Paige hesitated and then admitted, "Well… I’m not a big fan of it."Chris eyed Paige's round belly again, wondering how she could say that when her belly clearly suggested otherwise.Paige confessed, "I just couldn’t stand Niel and Tina flaunting their love, so I purposely finished their stew to ruin their moment."She wanted to see how they could flaunt their love then.Chris raised an eyebrow, teasing, "Jealous much?"Paige pouted. "What do I have to be jealous of? I just think they're fake. We all know what their private relationship is like, yet they insist on putting on a show in public. It's just so nauseating."Chris teased again, "Are you really not jealous?"Paige insisted, "Nope."“Okay."Paige looked at Chris, sensing that he might not believe her entirely.It disappointed her that he thought she would envy such forced and cringe displays of affection."Do you think Tina forgave Niel?"

    That incomprehensible sense of comparison left Paige at a loss for words."Well, you see…” Chris stared at Paige, saying, "The reason you had all that stew last night was a hint, wasn't it? A hint about Niel's caring attentiveness to Tina, suggesting Tina has stew to savor while you didn’t."Paige fell into a brief silence.She observed Chris, wondering if he was overanalyzing the situation."I have some type of stew every day," Paige explained.Due to her pregnancy and Tina's recent miscarriage, both needed to have nourishing food to fortify their health. Consequently, there would be some type of stew at dinner almost daily."That's not the same," Chris insisted. "Niel had specially instructed the kitchen to make Tina's beef stew. Since Tina has a husband who personally directs the kitchen to make her food, you must have your husband personally instructing the kitchen to make you something too."Paige genuinely did not know how to respond.It was just stew. Whether personally

    If he did not want money, it meant he was asking for something else.Paige's eyes flickered nervously, a shade of red coloring her face.Chris, observing Paige's shy and uneasy expression, could tell she understood his intentions. He chuckled at the girl having a knack for understanding things.Blushing, Paige asked in a hushed tone, "So… what do you want?"Chris grinned and asked, "Don't you already know what I want?"Paige hesitated, nervously fidgeting with her hands.Not pressing Paige further, Chris continued to smile and stare at her silently. After a while, Paige nodded with a red face.Chris teased, "Alright. I won't go out this afternoon. Let's show off our love and drive Nina crazy."Blushing, Paige nodded again. "Yes."Chris assured her, "I'll perform."Paige knew he would perform. There was no need to emphasize it repeatedly as it would only make things more awkward."So… you'll have to reward me nicely tonight," Chris commented.Paige could not take it an

    Paige pouted and said, "Why is he worried about me? I'm a good girl, you know."Sierra could not help but laugh at Paige's adorable expression. Paige must be leading a happy life to look so cute, even more so than when she was with the Quirks.What was Paige like with the Quirks?She was silent and reserved, sometimes not uttering a word for the whole day. Her presence was so quiet and unassuming that Sierra forgot she existed at home many times.Sierra sighed, never expecting that her mistakes would lead Paige to such happiness. She did regret it, but what good was regret? No one could turn back time, and she could not have a second chance like the female protagonists in novels.Hence, no matter how much she regretted it, it was useless. Now, she could only hold onto the present.Paige looked at Sierra, thinking the latter did not believe her, and asked Chris, "Do you think I'm a good girl?"Chris cast Paige a glance before nodding at Sierra. "Yep, she's a good girl."Pa

    Paige glanced at Nina, who seemed like she was hinting at Chris, “Am I clean or what?”It made Paige wonder if Nina only liked Chris and no one else."No way!" Paige looked at Nina in astonishment. "You're so beautiful, and in all these years, no one has pursued you?"Nina smiled and replied, "People have pursued me, but… I just didn't like them.""Oh," Paige said, understanding what Nina meant. "Your standards must be really high."Nina smiled and said, "In matters of the heart, it's not about standards but feelings."Paige nodded.Nina then added, "I take marriage very seriously. I will only marry someone I like."After saying that, she looked meaningfully at Chris and continued, “As for Chris, I thought he would marry Shelly back then."Paige asked, "Why?""Because they were a perfect match. At that time, whether it was their peers or the elders, everyone thought highly of Chris and Shelly. They were seen as a match made in heaven."Paige looked at Nina and asked with a s

    Chris looked at her. "What's up? Are you doubting my skills?"Paige hesitated.Chris gazed at Paige and said, "Be it the capability to conceive or raise the children, I've got them all."Paige remained silent as she pondered what he meant. After all, only she could conceive and be pregnant… When Paige realized what he meant, she blushed and glared at Chris with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.Why did he have to be so straightforward, especially when Sierra and Nina were around? What would they think?In reality, Sierra and Nina did not think much of it. They were just envious of Chris and Paige's relationship and their "skills" to have ten kids!They were drooling with envy!"Get lost," Paige said shyly."Sure, I'm out," Chris said good-naturedly with a smile and went upstairs with his computer.Sierra and Nina just watched as Chris left, shocked that Chris did as Paige said.Nina felt conflicted.

    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

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,

    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

    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. Then, when she saw her friends' comments praising her little one, she felt happy and proud, like they were getting closer as friends.Indeed, becoming a mom had changed her mindset.Chris, who was watching Paige show off their baby on social media, was even more dissatisfied! They had been married for a long time and had a child together, yet his appearances o

    After what felt like ages, Ava lay on the hotel's large bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as the sound of rushing water filled her ears. Niel was in the shower. After releasing his pent-up emotions, he headed straight for the shower. Meanwhile, she lay there, her body aching. 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. She had heard of such things happening before, so now, she was caught between a rock and a hard place.On one hand, she did not want to let go of Niel and give up on all the sacrifices and efforts she had put in when she was on the brink of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a billionaire's wife.

    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

    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

    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
