New Romance in Marriage Chapter 550 Curiosity Kills the Cat
What a jerk, Paige cursed.Fortunately, she was an educated woman with brains, so she would not fall for his nonsense.No matter what Chris said, she knew she was a lively, cute, kind, and clever lady."So?" Chris grinned. "I say you're smarter than Ava, and you're not happy? Do I have to say you're dumber than Ava, or equally dumb, for you to be pleased?"Paige glared at Chris with a frown. She could not understand why that bossy guy had to open his mouth and say such infuriating words. She wished he could be mute.If he were, he would probably be more popular among the ladies."Spill it." Chris looked at Paige and asked, "What should I say to make you happy? Tell me, and I'll say it."All she wanted was for him to shut up. However, she could not bring herself to tell him that."I don't really want to hear anything specific," Paige said.Chris laughed. "Really? Don't you want to hear me say you're the most beautiful, adorable, and smartest young lady in the world?"Paige b
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 551 Paige Achieves Victory
"So, what shouldn't I know?"Chris replied, "Like how I plan to help Ava marry Randall successfully."Paige looked at Chris, asking, "And why can't I know about that?""Because I'm afraid that if I tell you, you'll sabotage it. If you know my plan in advance, you might ruin it, preventing Ava from marrying Randall," Chris explained. "As long as Randall doesn't marry, he'll always have a soft spot for you, be your backup plan."Chris' logic left Paige stunned. She could not believe he actually thought of her that way.Paige gazed at Chris, feeling wronged. "Do you really see me like that? Am I that kind of woman in your eyes?"Chris remained silent.Paige continued, "I've been sincere with you, even marrying you under uncertain circumstances. I've never done anything to betray you, either. Not only have I not done anything wrong, but I haven't even thought about it. I've been sincere with you, yet you think of me this way, believing I keep backups like keeping fish. You've truly
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 552 Narcissism Goes International
So far, it seemed this young girl was quite sensible. Born in the spring breeze, raised under the red flag, she was a good girl with deep roots and no crookedness. "What's your plan to make Ava marry Randall, then?" Paige curiously asked, genuinely intrigued.Chris replied, "Currently, I don't know yet. After all, I have no idea about the history between Ava and Randall. When I have time, I'll have to ask Ava and see if she's willing to let me help."Paige was astonished. "When you have the time?"Chris casually said, "When else? Their matters have to wait for my availability, right? As a busy and domineering CEO, I can't just drop everything and handle their trivial relationship issues anytime."Paige could not argue; he made a valid point. "If they hadn’t tried to approach my workplace, I wouldn't have bothered with them," Chris added."Alright, time to sleep," Chris declared, and Paige nodded in agreement.Yet, Paige could not shake off thoughts about Randall and Ava. Sh
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 553 Chris' Stand-in
Paige wanted to say something but wisely chose to stay silent.What was there left to say? Saying anything more might displease Chris. Then, she would have to endure a lengthy lecture from him.For safety, it was better to just go to sleep.…Even though Chris had promised to help Sierra find a man similar to him to seduce Nina, Sierra was also searching. There was strength in numbers; what if she finds someone first? One had to handle their own business and not rely on others for everything.While Sierra was still on the lookout, Chris' assistant contacted her, informing Sierra that the person had been found. Sierra had not expected Chris to find someone so quickly. Chris' assistant arranged for Sierra to meet the person in a discreet location.After arriving at the agreed-upon place, Sierra carefully scrutinized the person when she saw him. Strictly speaking, this man's face was not very similar to Chris'. At most, a two percent resemblance. It was understandable, though
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 554 Unexpected Encounter
Why had Chris not shown up? Did he really not come? Could Sierra have been mistaken? No, no, it could not be, absolutely not. Sierra could not have been wrong. Chris must have come to the hospital to see her; he must have.Nina, in her anxious state, hurriedly moved through the hospital and accidentally bumped into someone."Watch out," a man said, instinctively reaching out to steady Nina."What are you..." Nina began to scold the man for his walking habits. However, when she looked up, she was stunned. This man... Why did he look a bit like Chris?The man looked at Nina and asked, "Sorry, are you okay?" Nina stared at the man, feeling that he was becoming more and more like Chris."Miss?" The man, puzzled by Nina's silence, looked at her with confusion.Only then did Nina snap out of her daze. She looked at the man and forced a smile, saying, "I'm fine..." The more she looked at the man, the more he seemed like a copy of Chris, especially his eyes and eyebrows.The
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 555 Bob Was Detained
Chris looked at Paige with a sly smile and asked, "What? Are you curious and want to meet him?"Paige remained silent. Her inner thoughts were exposed.“Don’t bother. He’s only one or two percent of my elegance. Nothing worth seeing," Chris said dismissively."But... I'm curious," Paige insisted.Chris gave Paige a deep look and said, "Curiosity killed the cat."Paige stiffened.A clear threat!"Just one meeting could kill me?" Paige protested.Chris nodded. "Yep.""I'm not afraid!" Paige retorted, "Cats have nine lives."Chris smirked, not saying a word, and only watched her.Paige felt uneasy and slightly anxious under his gaze."Fine. I won't meet him, then," Paige finally caved, muttering under her breath.Not meeting him now did not mean she would not meet him eventually.Chris chuckled. "That's more like it."Paige was at a loss for words. Chris was such a scumbag!…Chris handed over the evidence to the police.With the evidence stacked against him, Bob had n
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 556 Mildred and Tina

Jack was the household bodyguard, so summoning him meant they were ready to use force.Mildred and Wesley probably had a hunch about Jack. Mildred sat confidently on the sofa.

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 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.

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.

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
