New Romance in Marriage Chapter 537 A Substitute
"Mom, I'm fine," James said with a cold expression.Indeed, he was not injured. The security personnel at the Jewells restrained him without causing any harm.Relieved to see James physically unharmed, Maria asked, "What happened? Why did you go to the Jewells and get into a fight with Chris?"Russel was also furious.He had hoped that by marrying Sierra, James and Chris would become brothers-in-law who would support each other's growth. Yet now, an unexpected event had unfolded.Angry, James explained, "I went to find him, hoping he could come to the hospital and talk some sense into Nina. But Chris claimed Nina's death had nothing to do with him, and despite her condition, he was so heartless and cruel. Shouldn't I seek justice for Nina?"Russel and Maria were left speechless.As Nina's parents, they naturally sided with her. They, too, found Chris excessively indifferent, but Chris was just that way, indifferent to Nina's life or death. There was little they could do about it
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 538 Women Have Many Sides to Them
Paige: [Oh.]Sierra: [When it comes to Nina's infatuation with Chris, anyone who bears a resemblance to Chris, even just a bit, becomes someone Nina dives headfirst into.]Paige: [All it takes is someone just a little similar?]Sierra: [That’s right.]Paige: [Well, Ava and I share about 70 to 80 percent resemblance. What should I do?]Sierra: [No need to worry. Even if Ava were your identical twin, it wouldn't matter because you're right there by Chris's side. Compared to you, Ava is just a knockoff. Imagine if you have a genuine work of art, would you even consider having a replica? Definitely not. But when you can't have the real thing, you settle for a substitute. You're the real deal, and Chris, having you, won't spare a glance at Ava. Only someone like Nina, who can't have the authentic, would go crazy wanting a substitute to satisfy her desire for similarity and possession.]Paige: [Is that so?]Sierra: [Absolutely. Don't overthink it. Chris likes you for who you are. If h
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 539 I Will Always Love You
Paige could not help but think Chris was being a bit silly by insisting on wiping her tears away with his hands instead of a tissue. Did he not know tissues absorb better than his non-absorbent hands?"Don't worry about me," Paige said stubbornly. Though deep down, she was not as upset as before."How can I not worry about you?" Chris chuckled. "You're my wife. If I don't worry about you, who else would I worry about?"Paige found comfort in his words, but she still kept up her tough exterior. "Worry about whoever you want," she retorted."I want to worry about you," Chris insisted.Paige shot him a glare. This time, Chris was smarter. Instead of using his hands, he grabbed a tissue from the small table nearby, effortlessly wiping away the tears that seemed impossible to get rid of before.Paige wanted to cry again, but strangely, the pain in her heart had eased, and the tears would not come."Come on. Tell me why you're crying," Chris asked.Paige turned her face away st
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 540 Between Loving and Liking
"Why?" Chris asked, "You just said people's preferences change over time. Today, you’ll like strawberries, and tomorrow you might like oranges. Today, you’ll like this celebrity, and tomorrow, you'll be obsessed with another. You like me now, but maybe one day you won't.""I won’t." Paige shook her head.Chris raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so sure?""The reason I might have fleeting crushes, liking one celebrity today and another tomorrow, is because they're all outstanding in their own ways. They're all pretty much on par, so I hesitate between them. But you, you're the most outstanding man out there. If I love such an exceptional man like you, I won’t settle for someone less. Besides, the chance of meeting someone more outstanding than you in my lifetime is very, very slim," Paige explained."A slim chance doesn't mean it's impossible," Chris said calmly. "So, if you meet someone more outstanding than me, there's a chance you'll fall for them?""No, that's not what I meant," P
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 541 Chris is Unlike Himself Today
Paige glared at Chris. "If saying sweet words can make a woman happy, why don't you try?"Chris chuckled. "Because I'm a man of action. I don't waste time on empty words. Haven't you heard the latest hit song? It goes something like this: 'You say you love me, but your actions speak louder than words.' To know if a man truly loves you, don't listen to what he says but observe what he does. What’s the use of a man who only talks about love but doesn't care for you, doesn't cherish you, or doesn't invest time or money in you in real life? He may call you the most beautiful, but behind your back, he might talking about other women, celebrities, or colleagues with attractive qualities."Paige pondered.Chris really was a trendsetting CEO. As someone constantly immersed in work, he surprisingly knew the lyrics of the latest popular songs and could analyze them in detail. That was not very CEO-like.Typical CEOs should be absorbed in their work, oblivious to the outside world."How do
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 542 I’ll be a Hundred Years Old By Then
Maybe she had gotten used to Chris constantly challenging her. That could be why she found it unsettling when Chris gave in to her."What's up?" Chris looked at Paige.It seemed like what he said did not make the young lady very happy either.Paige shook her head. "Nothing."There was no way she could say she was not used to him giving in to her. If she did, Chris would argue with her till no end. Moreover, she could not win against Chris. If she could debate with Chris, she would not mind arguing until the cows come home.Chris nodded, staying silent.Paige thought for a moment and said, "Sierra mentioned… finding a guy similar to you to hook up with Nina."She thought it was better to tell Chris about it.Chris looked at Paige in surprise.Those two sisters were up to no good.Seeing Chris's surprised expression, Paige felt a little uneasy. She did not know if he was unhappy or bothered by it."A substitute?" Chris asked.Paige did not expect Chris to know about sub
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 543 Who’s Ava With
Chris may seem indifferent to the new receptionist, who eerily looked like Paige, but deep down, it bothered him enough to prompt a thorough investigation into Ava.Chris, after reviewing some documents, casually tucked them away. Upon sensing no further instructions from Chris, the assistant made a savvy exit from the office. Chris, with a pensive expression, decided to summon Ava through the secretary.In the secretary's office, Sandra and Margaret were occupied elsewhere, leaving only the idle Gloria. When Gloria received Chris's directive, a faint sense of unease swept over her. It seemed trouble always found its way to her.Finally, Chris had noticed Ava. Gloria skipped the phone call and personally went to get Ava from reception. During that, Gloria toyed with the idea of sending a secret message to Paige but ultimately resisted. She could not act rashly.What could Chris want with Ava? It was perhaps not the melodramatic gossip circulating within the company, and
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 544 Stake His Life On It
"Get out," Chris said, clearly not interested in prolonging the conversation with Ava."Okay."Ava, filled with confusion, exited the office.She did not understand what Chris meant. He knew she was here on Randall's behalf, so why keep her in the company?It was truly beyond her comprehension.On the other hand, Gloria had long abandoned her post leaning against the door because she realized the door was too thick and of good quality, offering excellent soundproofing. As she could not hear a thing, she waited outside, anticipating Ava's exit.Before long, Ava walked out, her eyes red.Gloria was surprised, wondering if Ava had cried and why.Did Mr. Jewell scold her to tears?Concerned, Gloria walked up to Ava. "What happened? Is everything okay? Did you get a scolding from Mr. Jewell?"Ava said, "No.""If not, what's wrong?" Gloria asked.“I’ve got sand in my eyes."Gloria wanted to roll her eyes at Ava.Chris's office was cleaned spotless by the janitors every day, s

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
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!

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.

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
