New Romance in Marriage Chapter 427 I’ll Do My Best
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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 428 Grapes
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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 429 Having a Girl
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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 430 Stay for Dinner
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. On one hand, she hoped Chris would leave so that she would not have t
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 431 Fulfilling Promises
She almost cried from the bitterness as she forced down the brussels sprouts. What kind of chef did the Jewells have? Why were the brussels sprouts so incredibly bitter?Sierra glanced at Tina. Back in the day, Tina had targeted her quite a bit. Even when she considered marrying into the Jewells, she never confronted Tina directly. However, news about Niel being 'expelled' from the Jewells had spread among the social circles. They said Master Jewell was disappointed in Niel, stripping him of his inheritance.Sierra had heard about it, too.Naturally, she saw this as the perfect opportunity to taunt both Tina and Niel. After all, Tina had not spared her share of taunts in the past.Smirking, Sierra said to Tina, "I'll follow Paige's lead and call you ‘sister-in-law’. Even though you lost the baby, don't be too upset. Just take care of yourself, and you'll have another child sooner or later. Look at how much your Niel loves you. He's not going to the company anymore, only staying
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 432 A Woman's Revenge, Ten Years in the Making
Chris gazed at Paige and suddenly burst into laughter. His smile was captivating, his face radiant, and his eyes could easily bewitch anyone.Paige, however, felt a shiver down her spine as he laughed. Was this not how villains in those TV shows transformed? They smiled beautifully while committing cruel deeds. The happier the smile, the more gruesome and bloody the actions.In Paige's eyes, Chris now seemed like a villainous character straight out of a TV series."So, you find me talkative?" Chris asked Paige with a smile. "What's the rush? Can't wait?"Paige’s face instantly turned beet red as she stared at Chris. "You're talking nonsense. Who's in a rush?""Aren’t you?" Chris said, still smiling. "You told me to start without the chatter because you find me too talkative, right?"Paige was at a loss for words.No, she had not. She only found Chris' chatter annoying.What was the hold-up?She rarely listened anyway. After all the talking, not a single sentence was someth
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 433 She's Older Than You
In these two days, the office gossip groups have been buzzing with excitement.

The front desk was not a particularly important position, so why would Gloria suddenly tell her this?Gloria: [She bears a striking resemblance to you.]Paige: [...Really?]Gloria: [Do you think I’m lying to you?]Paige: [Well, there
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 434 Gave Her Too Much Freedom
She was not too big or too small; just the normal size."I'm not flat, either!"She genuinely was not!Even though she could not boast, she was absolutely, positively not flat!Absolutely not!Chris, with a meaningful glance at Paige's chest, remarked, "I didn't say you were flat. I just meant your size is, well, average. Plain and ordinary, really."Paige deflated instantly. Fine. Paige could admit she was just average among women. Perhaps she should put in some effort. She was only twenty, and science said women fully matured at twenty-five. Why not give it a shot? It might not work, but it would not hurt to try.Once she gave birth, she would use all kinds of fancy creams and indulge in daily doses of milk and papaya for some enhancements.She refused to believe it would not work.Right now, she was just average. However, with a bit more development, she was determined not to be just average.Paige secretly made up her mind. She was going to put in the effort to develo

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. "Is it expensive?"Gloria nodded. "It is."“Good thing I didn't take one," the receptionist mumbled. Gloria rolled her eyes. If they were not on the same team, she would not even bother saving her."Why is this bag of strawberry laces

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.

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?"

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
