Paige felt like she was being looked down upon.

"Do you think, back in the day, the Burts didn't beg me?" Chris said.

"...But what if the Burts offered you a really sweet deal now?"

Chris raised an eyebrow. "What? Am I that obsessed with vanity to you? Besides, what kind of sweet deal could the Burts offer? The whole Burts?"

Hearing Chris' tone, Paige's heart skipped a beat. Did he mean if the Burts handed everything over to him, he would divorce Paige and marry Nina?

Chris usually acted like he did not care about the Burts, but now, it seemed he was eyeing the Burts.

Paige darkly wondered if Chris had been waiting for this opportunity—the Burts to hand everything over to him.

Chris looked at Paige, smirking. He could tell what she was thinking by her expression and gaze.

"What? Worried I won’t be able to resist temptation? Divorce you to marry Nina?" Chris asked, still smirking.

"No!" Paige refuted immediately. She looked at Chris, saying, "Honey, how could you be that kind o

    Why should she be treated like this? It was just too much. How was she supposed to live without Chris? The Quirks had never been kind to her, so she had always known she had to thrive without them. However, Chris was different. Until this moment, she had wholeheartedly relied on him, trusted him, and admired him. The thought of leaving him was unbearable.Just contemplating leaving him made her feel so miserable that she almost felt like dying. Living a life without him seemed impossible. The days without Chris might be too much for her to bear.The more Paige thought about it, the sadder she became, and the more tears fell from her eyes.Chris felt like things were getting out of hand as he saw Paige's tears flowing like a river. It seemed like the joke had gone too far."Don't cry..." Chris said, reaching out to wipe away Paige's tears.However, Paige stubbornly turned her face away, refusing to let Chris wipe her tears.In her mind, she thought, ‘Hmph... If he wants me to

    Somehow, Chris' words made Paige feel a bit guilty and self-reflective. She could not help but reflect upon herself. Had she not made an effort to understand Chris?No, she had! She had put in effort! Paige genuinely cared about Chris. She made an effort to understand him, nurturing their marriage and attentively listening to Chris."You're slandering me!" Paige glared at Chris, feeling angry. She thought Chris was skilled at turning the tables, deliberately saying things to mislead her, and then shifting the blame onto her. If her willpower was weak, she might actually believe she was wrong, misunderstand Chris, and question herself.So, Chris wanted to manipulate her!The scumbag.She would not fall for Chris's intentions.Chris raised an eyebrow, calmly saying, "Slandering you? Tell me, when have I slandered you? After being married for so long, with just a glance or a facial expression, I know exactly what you're thinking. Do I have mind-reading abilities? No. It's beca

    The moment Sierra uttered Chris’ mentioned words, the Burt family felt extremely awkward. Nina was their cherished jewel, and for Chris to say something like that seemed too much. It was as if he disregarded the Burts and Nina entirely.However, after a second thought, Chris was not entirely wrong. Though Nina was the Burts' treasure, for Chris, she was just that—the Burts' treasure. She held no significance for him whatsoever.They had no connection.Chris genuinely did not have to care about any emotions Nina might harbor. Love or hate, it was all irrelevant to him."How could he…?" James said angrily, his eyes turning a furious shade of red. "How could he say such cruel words? Nina has gone through so much for him, and he... he..."James could not find the words in his anger.How could Chris ignore Nina's genuine feelings like this?Did he not realize that what he easily dismissed was something others longed for but could not attain? Moreover, he disregarded Nina in such a

    Oh, she was infuriated.If she were not pregnant right now, she would go outside and attract a couple of bees just to vent.Paige nodded, looking at Chris as she said, "Well, I know why I haven't had suitors or admirers after marriage. It's because I'm loyal, always remembering that I'm a married woman. Otherwise, do you think I'm not in demand? In this society, where men outnumber women, I don't look bad, have some money, and am a college student. Do you really think my market value is low?""Do you think your market value is high?" Chris raised an eyebrow.Paige said, "It's not that high. I don't think I'm exceptional, but I've received love letters since elementary school. My nickname is even on the school's confession wall. Even in college, guys were sliding into my DMs."Without mentioning all this, he probably thought she was undesirable.Chris furrowed his brow. "Really?""Do you think I would shamelessly make up such things to deceive you?"Chris nodded seriously. "Ther

    The laughter was a genuine, hearty laugh, too.She was truly happy, not putting on a show. Though he sat with his back to Paige on the balcony, he could hear the sounds of her playing on her phone. The laughter emanating from the device suggested she was watching short videos, and the fact that she was laughing so genuinely meant she had stumbled upon something amusing.She was carefree, without even a hint of sadness or unease in her heart. If not, she would not be able to laugh like this, let alone laugh so joyously.Chris could not help but appreciate Paige's carefree attitude. It was truly commendable.She now knew how to rile him up. Was she intentionally trying to provoke his anger? Well, her audacity seemed to be growing.Who gave her this confidence? Was it his indulgence? Or was it the pregnancy?Did she think that because he pampered her and was unable to harm her due to her pregnancy, she could act recklessly without consequences?Chris stood up. Yet, Paige, engro

    How much longer did Chris intend to torment Nina?Sierra glanced at Nina, sensing something off about her current mood. Could it be a relapse of depression? Well, if that was the case, so be it. Nina deserved it."Nina," James gently held Nina's hand, saying, "Don't be so foolish in the future. Think about our parents and me. We all love you so much."With teary eyes, Nina nodded. "Mm."James smiled tenderly. "Nina, you’re such a good girl."Sierra rolled her eyes, feeling the urge to vomit last night's dinner. James was truly disgusting. It was hard to accept that she had given up a high-quality guy like Chris for this repulsive man.Thinking back, if she had not fallen for James' charm and had smoothly married Chris, even though Chris might not have loved her as he loved Paige, he would have treated her with respect. Certainly better than James, who sneakily flirted with other women in her presence.Nina's preference for Chris over James must have been based on compariso

    It seemed Paige did not have much convincing power.Struggling to sit up, Paige freed herself from Chris' embrace. Blushing, she said, "Well, I'm very well-behaved when I sleep. I won't just voluntarily end up in your arms."Chris chuckled. "You're asleep; how do you know you're well-behaved?""I've always been well-behaved when sleeping. The position I fall asleep in at night is the same as when I wake up the next morning,” Paige earnestly replied.Chris raised an eyebrow. "You think I haven't slept with you? Do you wake up in the same position as before?"Paige blushed even more. "That's because you mess up my position."Back when she slept alone, she indeed maintained the same posture throughout the night. However, after marrying Chris, that changed. At night, Chris would cuddle her in various positions—face to face, from behind, having her lie on top of him, or resting her head on his shoulder. Several sleeping positions in one night."How did I mess up your sleeping positio

    Ten years of treatment, shattered by Chris' cold words in a few meetings. How many decades does one have in life? How many more for Nina?James did not want Nina to spend her life tormented. In the years spent accompanying Nina during her overseas treatment, he delved deep into understanding depression. Though depression might not inflict physical pain, the mental anguish it caused could make a person break down repeatedly.Nina, so beautiful, deserved a lifetime of happiness, not continuous mental breakdown.Sierra noticed James softening and continued to fan the flames, saying, "When it comes to Nina, we really have to seek Chris' help. Otherwise, Nina..."Sierra did not finish her sentence. However, James knew. If Chris did not help Nina untangle her emotional knots, she might never get better. Perhaps, unnoticed by them, Nina would take her own life, leaving them forever.The thought pained James. Sierra was right; they had to rely on Chris for Nina's sake. However, he des

    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,

    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

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.

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

    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?"

    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
