New Romance in Marriage Chapter 479 Was It Legal
Nina found herself in an awkward position. It was not easy for her to imagine not getting a share of the Burts' fortune. Paige, whom she had always looked down on, now seemed to outshine her in every way. In Paige's eyes, Nina was just an unwanted orphan, adopted out of pity by the Burts.Linda could not help but find Paige's question strange. Could Paige believe that Gene was not Bob's biological son but rather adopted from elsewhere?How could that be?Bob, who valued his bloodline and his son, would surely not marry her without confirming whether Gene was his. When Gene was still in her womb, Bob had done a DNA test to ensure that Gene was indeed his son before allowing Linda to give birth.It seemed absurd that Paige would entertain such malicious thoughts.Chris stated calmly, "Legally speaking, it's possible."Paige raised an eyebrow, prompting Chris to explain, "The legal relationship between an adopted child and the adoptive parents is equivalent to a biological par
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 480 Stealing James’s Limelight
Maintaining one's dignity was crucial, especially when the time called for it."Paige, did you have a good nap this afternoon?" Sierra asked with a smile.Her mood was fantastic. The wedding went smoothly, and she finally married James. Now, she was about to embark on her own journey!She had been waiting for this day for a long time, and the anticipation was getting overwhelming."Yeah." Paige nodded. "I slept really well."Sierra nodded in approval.Bob then raised his glass to Chris. "Chris, come on. Let's have a drink as father and son-in-law."Chris looked at Bob, who smiled as he said, "You know, you and Paige have been married for quite a while now, and we, as father and son-in-law, haven't had a proper drink together."With that, Chris raised his glass and said, "Cheers."Still, the same old rule applied: sometimes, one just had to play along.Bob nodded with a smile and downed his drink.If the elder was doing it, the younger had to follow suit.After finishing the
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 481 Chris Gets Drunk
However, what good did hatred and jealousy do?There was nothing James could do to Chris, certainly not charging and cursing at Chris.All he could do was scheme behind Chris's back, like conniving to hook up with his own wife and trying to outdo Chris, sacrificing even his marriage and emotions to spite and hurt Chris. However, it was all useless because Chris, seemingly impervious, did not feel a thing. In fact, Chris did not even acknowledge him.Chris must enjoy seeing him disapprove of him but do nothing about it.No, perhaps Chris had never regarded James in the first place. Whatever James felt, Chris did not care or know.That way, if James found out, he would surely be even more infuriated.He had done so much, treating Chris as a lifelong enemy, yet Chris just ignored him.All his efforts were powerless.Meanwhile, Chris continued to receive flattery and toasts from all directions.Seeing Chris flushed and his eyes a bit unfocused, Bob signaled Linda, who nodded and
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 482 Bob Holds Paige Back
Bob suggested, "Let's grab a coffee and chat." Paige nodded and trailed behind Bob as they walked to the cafe. Once inside, they sat down across from each other.Bob sighed, his gaze fixed on Paige. "Paige, it seems like I owe you an apology after all these years."Paige remained indifferent, choosing not to respond. She did not see the point of bringing up the past now.Besides, he probably was not genuinely sorry. He likely just wanted to use their father-daughter relationship to buy time for his own agenda.Initially, she doubted it, thinking that maybe Chris and she were overthinking things and that Bob was not as bad as they imagined. Yet now, all doubts were gone and replaced by a firm conviction that Bob was up to no good and that he was worse than they thought.He was exceeding her expectations of just how bad and disgusting he could be. Bob was constantly pushing her boundaries and challenging her understanding of him.Bob continued, seemingly frustrated that Pai
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 483 I’ll Send You Back to the Room
She never expected anyone to remember it.As long as she remembered it, it was enough."Paige… that might have been when I was on a business trip," Bob said.Paige looked at him and said, "You weren't on a business trip."Bob hesitated. "Well, maybe I did neglect you. I was busy with work. But why was I working so hard? It was for this family and a better life for your sister and you. I devoted more of my passion and time to work, so I may have neglected you emotionally. But materially, I've never treated you unfairly. Since you were little, your food, clothing, and expenses weren’t the best, but you never lacked anything. You grew up in a financially comfortable environment.""Yeah." Paige nodded. "You did provide me with decent material conditions, so I'll take care of you when you're old, regardless of whether or not you have money. I'll ensure you have a comfortable life, worry-free."That was her duty as a daughter.However, the things he did not give her, she could not giv
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 484 Give the Game Away
Paige glanced at Bob, contemplating the situation. If he had not schemed with Linda today, maybe she could still give him a chance. However, Bob was insisting on escorting her upstairs, clearly not intending to be a good father but rather to catch them in the act.Paige remained silent as they reached the eighth floor in the elevator. Her heart was pounding. She trusted Chris and his plans not to let Linda and Bob succeed, but what if?It was better safe than sorry. Anything could happen, after all. That was why the term "accident" existed.Although Chris was clever and skilled in scheming, there were moments of miscalculation. They soon arrived at the door of room 808. Paige hesitated at the door, wondering what she would encounter upon opening the door."Why aren't you going in, Paige?" Bob asked.Paige looked at Bob and questioned, "Do you genuinely want to be a good father from now on?"Bob nodded and admitted to his mistakes. "I know I messed up. Now, I want to be a go
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 485 Tables Turned
Linda's expression stiffened. Should she investigate the surveillance or inquire at the front desk? Either way, everything would become clear then.She glanced at Bob, who remained unfazed. What did he care about? Even if the surveillance showed Linda entering their room on her own, so what? Chris and Linda were already involved with each other, and now Bob could use that against Chris. As long as Chris did not meet his conditions, Bob would expose the affair. No matter the process or who was scheming against whom, as long as Chris had an affair with his stepmother-in-law, it was enough to ruin his reputation.He would not be able to wash off the stain for his entire life.As the heir to a major conglomerate, having such a scandalous reputation would have a tremendous impact on the conglomerate's influence. Chris, a man driven by self-interest, would weigh the pros and cons. He knew what to do and would not let small matters jeopardize larger gains."Paige," Bob said to Pai
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 486 Dirty and Foolish
Bob wondered how Chris found out.No, Chris could not possibly know. It was all definitely just a coincidence."So, why is she in our room? In our bed?" Chris asked, his tone icy.Linda, with tears glistening on her lashes, looked at Chris. She did not know what to say.It should have been Chris in that bed with her. How did it end up being another man?How did it come to this?Bob was awkward, furious, and lost for words.Paige hesitated and then took it upon herself to speak."Honey… Linda was just with another man in our bed," Paige said.Chris raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on Linda in the bed.Linda wished she could vanish before his eyes.What would Chris think of her?Would he think of himself as a degraded and shameless woman, doing indecent things with a stranger in another stepdaughter's room on the day of her wedding?If word of it got out, how could she face anyone?Linda covered her mouth, silently crying in sorrow."I don't care who she was with or what

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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 698 I Secretly Care For You
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
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.

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 695 Buying Ava A House
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.

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?" 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
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
