New Romance in Marriage Chapter 500 Paige Toughens Up
Bob was at a loss for words.Paige had made her point clear with that long string of words.She was uninterested in what the Quirks had to offer and would not take anything from the Quirks."Paige, no matter what, this is a little gesture from me to you. I know I’ve neglected you in the past, but I genuinely want to make it up to you now. Won't you give me even a chance?" Bob asked, his heart aching.Paige replied, "No need. You haven't wronged me."After all, it did not matter anymore."Paige..."Bob was not ready to give up.Paige suddenly felt irritated. Bob was going too far, doing things so excessively. Did he think she was oblivious, trying to deceive her like she was a fool?She had not spelled it out, hoping to save Bob a shred of dignity. However, now, it seemed utterly unnecessary.Someone like Bob was not worth preserving any dignity for."Do you really want me to spell it out? You want to give me Quirk Enterprise shares now, just to use me to get Chris to help Qu
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 501 Repent
Paige blinked and said, "Can I do the same to you?"Chris shook his head. "It might not work for me.""Why not?" Paige asked, puzzled. "Didn't you just say that from now on, no matter who it is, I should be tough? Doesn't that include you?"Chris asked Paige, "What gives you the confidence to stand up to others, to Bob, for example?"Paige hesitated.Her confidence, of course."My confidence comes from the strength within me," Paige replied.Chris smirked. "No, your confidence comes from me. It’s because I'm there to support you. No matter what you do, I'll clean up after you, support you, and help you. That's why you're so confident."Paige frowned. "That's not true."Chris continued, "When you can confront others, I can support you. However, if you confront me, I can't help you fight against myself. I'm not that foolish.""I told you. My confidence comes from the strength within me!" Paige insisted.In the past, she cared too much, which was why she did not break ties with
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 502 Moving Him with True Emotions
"Is this not over yet?" Paige asked in confusion.She had already apologized and repented as he asked, but he still seemed unsatisfied. What more did he want?Chris shook his head. "Nope."Paige sighed. "What do you want then?"Chris looked at Paige seriously. "I closed off my heart for you and sealed it with love. Can't you use your sincerity and dedication to move me? Melt me?"Paige blinked. "Move you? Melt you?""Yeah." Chris nodded seriously. "Use your true heart, genuine emotions, and sincerity to move me, melt me, and open my heart again.""Oh..."Chris raised an eyebrow. Did she get it now?"So, what should I do?" Paige asked.She might have understood the concept but had no idea how to execute it.Chris raised an eyebrow again. "Do I have to teach you?"Paige hesitated. "Uh... No, it's okay."She had thought about saying she needed Chris's guidance, but he did not seem willing to teach her."Good." Chris nodded. A hint of anticipation was in his eyes. He wondered
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 503 Niel Goes Back to Work
Bob was not so foolish as to not know why Linda and he were together. It was all about the wealth of Quirk Enterprise. He bet that if he truly hit rock bottom, Linda would be the first to leave. However, he did not care. His interest in Linda was not genuine love. It was merely because she was attractive and proactive. Also, luck had it that she was carrying his child—a son. So, they got married. Otherwise, Linda would be a hidden lover, cast aside heartlessly in her old age.Between him and Linda, there was no love, just a mutual exchange of needs. That was why he could let Linda seduce Chris. If he genuinely loved a woman, he could not bear to see her do such things.Linda looked at Bob in silence. She was not inclined to endure hardships with him. Young and beautiful, she had plenty of suitors. The reason she chose Bob, the older man, was his wealth. She was with him for a life of prosperity."Honey..." Linda, with teary eyes, said sadly, "I'm willing to endure hardship
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 504 I'm Afraid He Might Misunderstand
“Honestly, with your qualifications, you could easily get a different job. I always thought it was a waste for you to be a receptionist,” Jenny stated.Ava remained silent.So, Jenny smiled and continued, "With your education and skills, I'd have chosen a different job long ago. You could find something that pays much better than a receptionist's salary."Ava sighed. "I used to think that way, too. However, there are just too many international students now. Being a foreign student doesn't hold much value anymore. I consider myself lucky to have this job. You know, we spend millions studying abroad, only to end up with an ordinary job that pays a few thousand. The competition is fierce, and I'm content with what I have."Jenny nodded. "True, the competition is intense nowadays. However, Ava, you saw how Supervisor Jewell treated you just now. I'm afraid you might become the cannon fodder between Mr. Jewell and Supervisor Jewell."Ava looked puzzled. "Cannon fodder?""Yeah." Jenny
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 505 Everyone Wants a Promotion and a Raise
Paige: [Are you really so concerned about Niel now?]Chris: [Occasionally, I still need to show some concern. After all, we've been like brothers for so many years.]Paige was at a loss for words.Chris: [What if Niel's wild thoughts lead him to do something, and people who don't know think I did something to him?]Paige: [That actually makes sense.]Chris: [It doesn’t just make sense; it makes a lot of sense.]Paige: [Yeah, you're right, honey. You're absolutely right.]Chris: [Well, a wise man listens to advice.]Chris: [Do you need something?]Paige: [Well, honey, I thought about how hard you work for me and our kid. I felt bad, so I made some desserts. I'll have them sent to the office later. What do you think?]Chris: [Huh? You made them?]Paige: [Yes, I did.]Chris: [Then, by all means, bring them.]Paige: [Alright. I'll bring them in a bit.]Chris: [Hmm.]Paige started to change. Then, with the prepared snacks, she had the driver take her to the office.…Upon e

"Chef Willy has taught many apprentices over the years, but none of them can replicate his taste exactly," Chris remarked.Then, he chuckled. "If you can recreate Chef Willy's taste exactly, well, those five-star hotels might end up in a fierce competition to have you as their chef."Paige thought it sounded like an exaggeration. She stared at Chris. Although his expressions and tone seemed normal, Paige felt like he was mocking her.He should know she did not make the dessert.Chef Willy had been with the Jewells for years. Chris, who had been enjoying Chef Willy's desserts for many years, could surely tell if Chef Willy made it."Yeah." Paige nodded. "That is why you should cherish me. If I go out there in the world, many men will be fighting for me."Chris looked at Paige with a half-smile but remained silent.From the looks of Chris’s smile, she had a feeling that he had seen through everything."A couple of compliments and you’re bragging already? Let me guess… Which par
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 507 Tina Can’t Handle It
Paige nodded. “Yeah, we both look quite alike. Didn't you ask about this before?"Tina chuckled. "Did I? I forgot… But do you both really look alike?""Yeah.” Paige nodded. "We really do."Tina grinned. "I'm genuinely curious. I want to see for myself what the person who looks like you looks like."Paige suggested, "If you want, just go to the company. She's at the front desk. You'll see her as soon as you enter."Tina nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll check it out sometime."As Tina looked at Paige, it seemed like Paige did not mind having someone who looked like her at the company. People usually avoided those who resembled them, especially those with a certain status or identity, so she thought Paige would remove Ava.Surprisingly, Paige tolerated Ava staying in the company, working as a simple receptionist, greeting and sending off people every day. It was quite generous of her."Niel has seen her today," Paige added with a smile.As Niel glanced at Paige, Tina asked him,

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
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 696 Chris Gets Jealous

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 695 Buying Ava A House

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?"

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
