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

    "Um... My sister mentioned that James will be dropping by tomorrow, so she told me to let you know. She said you should stay home and wait for James," Paige informed Chris.Chris raised an eyebrow, studying Paige with a curious look. Paige felt slightly awkward and uneasy under his gaze. Did Chris think she was making up excuses to talk to him?"James is coming to see me?" Chris questioned.Paige nodded. "Yep."Chris chuckled lightly. "And why is James coming? Am I supposed to roll out the red carpet for him? What does he think he is, someone important?"Paige hesitated, then whispered, "He said he's coming to... seek justice for Nina.""Heh..." Chris scoffed dismissively, nodding. "Alright. If that's the case, I'll be at home tomorrow, waiting for James."Paige sighed inwardly. Chris might agree with his mouth, but judging by his expression, James was in for a rough time tomorrow. However, Paige had no sympathy for James. In fact, she was ready to help Chris stab him in the

    So why would he ask that? Did he genuinely not know, or was he just playing dumb?"It's been a while since I saw Paige. I came to check on her," Sierra said with a smile.Chris replied, "She's asleep."Sierra was at a loss for words. Asleep? Was she not supposed to instigate James to come to the Jewells and confront Chris so Paige could give James a hard time? Now, both she and James had come, and Paige was asleep?! She seriously suspected Paige was messing with her. Perhaps it was not Paige who wanted James to show up, and instead, it was Chris. Could it be Chris did not know how to ask her directly, so he instructed Paige to tell her? Sierra looked at Chris, surprised. ‘Who would have thought you were like this, Chris?’"Since getting pregnant, she tends to sleep more," Chris explained.Sierra nodded with a smile. "That's true for pregnant women."Sierra glanced at James.James kept his gaze fixed on Chris. Although he had not spoken yet, his eyes were hostile.Chris,

    Back then, when Nina attempted suicide in front of him, Chris remained unfazed. Now, an apology was out of the question."Chris, you've gone too far!" James gritted his teeth, infuriated. "Nina poured her heart out to you, and you treat her like this? If anything happens to her, you'll be a murderer!"Chris nonchalantly responded, "If you think I'm a murderer, go ahead and call the cops. Let them arrest me and throw me in jail."James was shocked speechless.Chris' actions were beyond the reach of the law. He did not commit murder, but he did shatter Nina's heart. That was why she tried to end her life.Sierra, witnessing James fuming impotently against Chris, felt a sense of satisfaction. That served him right!"Chris, if anything happens to Nina, I won't let you off the hook," James angrily threatened, glaring at Chris as if he could devour him whole.Chris calmly inquired, "Won't let me off the hook? What exactly are you planning to do to me?""I..." James fumed, attemptin

    James never expected Chris to bring up this matter. Originally, he planned to use it to punish and retaliate against Chris. However, at that time, Chris showed no reaction, so James thought Chris did not care. Now, Chris was bringing it up.Was Chris really bothered by it or just indifferent?Sierra looked at Chris. Regardless of whether Chris cared or not, she did not care anymore. What difference did it make if he cared?Chris was now living happily with Paige, and Paige was about to have a baby. Could Sierra still hope Chris will have a change of heart towards her? In the past, she did have such hopes, but now, she had given up. Even if Chris did have a change of heart, she might not accept him. She was different now.During this time, she, Paige, and Chris have all gone through a lot. They were not the same as before. Now, Sierra had no feelings for Chris and did not think about being with him. Her sole focus was getting revenge on James and Nina and then taking contr

    Chris gazed at James and casually retorted, "So, did you get your punches in?"Damn!What a defeat!Just a light, casual sentence from Chris completely crushed James."Who got beaten up in the end? Don't you have a clue?" Chris asked.James contorted his face, glaring at Chris with resentment. If his strength allowed, he would have torn Chris into pieces, making sure Chris suffered a gruesome fate. Unfortunately, his strength did not permit it. At present, he was pinned down on the couch by the Jewells' security personnel, utterly helpless.Not only was he beaten, but he also had to endure Chris's mockery.James was on the verge of exploding, gritting his teeth as he glared at Chris. "Chris, you’ll get what’s coming for you.""Heh..." Chris scoffed disdainfully, mocking James, "James, do you think, with your role, you could cause me harm? Are you worthy?"“You!!! Let me go... Let me go!!!" James struggled angrily, roaring.It was as if he was a trapped beast.However, no m

    She had it all planned out. However, it all slipped away because she fell asleep! Paige was furious and heartbroken that she had missed such a golden opportunity.Chris must have not woken her up on purpose."Why should I have woken you up?" Chris asked nonchalantly.Paige stared at Chris in anger and disbelief. What did he mean by asking why he should wake her up? Was that not something he should do?"You didn't ask me to wake you up," Chris said."We're not on speaking terms. How could I have asked you to wake me up?" Paige replied. If she said that, it would mean she lost again."Since we're not speaking, why should I wake you up?" Chris countered.Paige was left speechless. She looked at Chris for a while but could not find the words to speak."Why are you talking to me now?" Paige finally blurted out after a long pause.Chris looked at Paige and said calmly, "You spoke to me, so why wouldn't I respond? I'm not a petty, grudge-holding man. Since you talked to me, I res

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.

    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

    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. Then, when she saw her friends' comments praising her little one, she felt happy and proud, like they were getting closer as friends.Indeed, becoming a mom had changed her mindset.Chris, who was watching Paige show off their baby on social media, was even more dissatisfied! They had been married for a long time and had a child together, yet his appearances o

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
