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. Many are discussing the new receptionist.Various speculations and wild imaginations filled the air.Even though Chris had not been at the office for the past couple of days nor interacted with the new front desk, rumors and whispers were slowly spreading throughout the company.Paige knew about it, too, of course.After all, Gloria informed Paige.Even though Paige and Gloria had not met in a long time, they had been keeping in touch on WhatsApp. From time to time, they chatted and shared all sorts of gossip—whether it was about the company or the entertainment industry.Gloria: [Paige, there's a new receptionist in the company.]Paige: [Huh?]She was quite puzzled. 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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 435 Right Under Our Noses
It looked like it was not just Gloria who did not regard him highly. Paige did not seem to, either. Was it because he lacked authority and dominance?…In the secretary's office, only Gloria remained; the other secretaries were busy elsewhere. Gloria pulled Paige into the office, eyeing Paige's belly. "Seems like there's a little bump.""Yeah." Paige smiled and nodded.Gloria advised, "You must control yourself and not overeat. If you gain too much weight, it'll be troublesome for your figure."Paige replied, "No worries. I've hired a nutritionist, strict calorie control with proper nutrition. I won't get fat."Gloria nodded, saying, "Many men cheat because their women get too fat and ugly during pregnancy."Paige thought Chris was not that kind of man; he did not care much about appearances. If he did, he would not have rejected Shelly."Did you come to the company to see Ava?" Gloria asked.Paige, puzzled, questioned, "Who's Ava?"Gloria sighed. "You don't even know the
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 436 Chris’ Confidence
Ever since the incident at the restaurant, Paige hardly ate anything outside. Chris nodded. "Then let's go home. I’ll have the pastry chef make something for you."Paige smiled and nodded. "Okay."She was happy now. If anyone tried to ruin her happiness, she would not let them off easily. Hmph... Even the sweetest person can turn dark when provoked.…Paige discovered that there seemed to be no real secrets in this world. When a person resembling Paige appeared at the company, rumors spread within certain circles.So, Sierra covertly probed Paige about her knowledge of Ava's affairs. Paige asked Sierra, [How did you find out?]Sierra did not hide it and said openly, [I was Chris' fiancée for over a year. I still have some connections in the Jewell Group.]Paige was taken aback.Sierra: [Don't mind, Paige. In the past, I wanted to know about Chris’ actions within the company, so I did establish some connections. I no longer have those intentions, though.]Paige: [It's not
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 437 Regretful Gloria
Paige was at a loss for words.Gloria: [Take, for instance, deliberately making mistakes in documents and then tearfully apologizing in front of Mr. Jewell. Afterward, to compensate, working late into the night to showcase one's diligence and dedication.]Gloria: [Some intentionally show disdain towards Mr. Jewell, trying to prove they're different from other women who fawn over him. While others worship him, they deliberately act aloof to catch Mr. Jewell's attention.]Gloria: [The tactics these women use are truly endless. I've been amazed countless times.]Paige: [Are these women sure they're not mentally unstable?]Gloria: [That's exactly what I think. However, Mr. Jewell never disappoints in how he handles them.]Paige: [Huh?]Gloria: [The one who spilled coffee? Mr. Jewell had his secretary send the bill to her and made her pay for his expensive custom suits. That lady, I heard, is still paying off her credit card debt.]Gloria: [The one who deliberately messed up the doc
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 438 I’ll Hit You If I See You
“Of course.""Madam, rest assured.""In the future, we'll be bothering Madam frequently."The trio smiled in agreement. Paige pondered and thought her sister was truly smart in choosing these three. They were perfect.The front desk might seem unimportant, but they were well aware of who entered and left the company daily. Human resources knew everything about employees, from who hired them to where they lived and their alma mater. The public relations department, as the company's emergency unit, was well-versed in the daily occurrences of the company.Sierra had not randomly chosen these three; she carefully selected them.After finishing afternoon tea, Paige and Sierra took the three on a shopping spree. Paige bought them gifts—not too expensive, but not too cheap either, including bags and jewelry worth a few thousand dollars. The trio felt Paige was great, not just as Mr. Jewell's Madam but also as a friend. She did not order them around. Instead, she treated them like fr

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.

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

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?"

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
