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
The housekeeper instructed the maid, "Call Jack and the others in.""Got it."The maid left. 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. She thought to herself that if they dared to use violence to evict them, she would collapse on the floor, cry, and make a scene, disturbing the peace of the Jewells.She knew it would damage her dignity in front of the Jewells. However, for the sake of her only son, she had no choice but to do so.This old face was now fearless.Regardless of Mildred's threats and bluster, the maid, bound by loyalty to the Jewells, followed the housekeeper's orders.

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 557 What Do You Want?
Tina's heart was secretly thrilled. She found her emotions quite peculiar at the moment. Although she and Paige were allies in helping Chris against Niel, wishing for Niel's downfall, she could not stand seeing Paige happy. Observing Paige, who was once an insignificant girl, now living happily under her nose, made Tina envious and resentful.Why? Why did Paige get to be so happy when Tina felt like such a failure, so miserable in comparison? If Paige's happiness was not right in front of her eyes, Tina might not feel so upset. However, every glance at Paige's joy reminded her of her own misfortune.She wanted Paige as unhappy as herself.While bringing misfortune upon Niel was at the top of her list, she also wanted Paige to suffer.Tina was aware that there was something wrong with her mindset. In the past, before all these issues with Niel and Paige, she lived a happy life. Back then, she genuinely wished for happiness for everyone around her.However, since her own happiness
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 558 Tina’s Persuasion
Mildred felt Paige was doing all this for the Quirks' wealth.Hearing Mildred’s words, Paige was at a loss.Had she not explained clearly? Or did they see her as a money-loving woman?Even if she did love money, in her current position, she could not care less about the Quirks' meager fortune. She was Chris' wife now, and if she ever schemed for wealth, it would be Chris' or the Jewells', not the Quirks'. Moreover, she had never intended to pursue the Quirks' wealth, even before marrying Chris.Paige looked at Mildred. Since they insisted on giving money…“Hand over the entire Quirk Enterprise, then,” Paige said nonchalantly."Dream on!" Mildred angrily cursed at Paige, "You heartless woman! Quirk Enterprise is your grandfather and father's hard work. Asking for Quirk Enterprise is like asking for their lives."Paige stared at Mildred. "What do you want then? I said I don't want the money, yet you don't believe me. You insist on giving something to me, but when I ask for it, y
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 559 Selling Off Quirk Enterprise
Paige took a deep breath. Thank goodness those days were behind her. Now, she was the treasure in her husband's hands. She could express herself freely in front of him, share her joys and sorrows, and engage in casual banter. Tina, unaware if Paige absorbed her words, said, "Paige, think it over. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water." With that, Tina left.Paige, watching Tina depart, furrowed her brows slightly. Had she misunderstood Tina, and Tina was genuinely looking out for her?In reality, Tina was not concerned about Paige's well-being. She simply did not want the Quirks to fall apart so soon. If the Quirks crumbled, no one would trouble Paige in the future. Tina quite liked the people in the Quirks, from Wendy to Mildred. Just look at the various troubles they brought Paige.Tsk... Wendy was useless. If she had been a bit more effective, Paige's child would not have stayed safely in her womb until now. With so many people in the Quirks, how was it that n
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 560 Letting the Burts Buy Quirk Enterprise
Chris returned home and asked Paige, "I heard that Mildred and Wesley came by?"Paige was not surprised that Chris knew. In this household, Chris seemed to have a way of finding out about everything, big or small."Yeah." Paige nodded.Chris inquired, "What were they here for?"Paige countered, "Don't you already know?"Chris said nothing.Of course, he knew. However, he had to ask Paige so she would answer, and their conversation could continue.Chris looked at Paige, and Paige looked back at Chris.There was a moment of silence.Finally, Paige could not bear the awkwardness and Chris' gaze. She said, "They came to ask me not to hold Bob accountable."Chris questioned, "So, you agreed?"Paige looked at Chris with a touch of resentment and said, "Am I that naive? Besides, whether I agreed or not, didn't the housekeeper tell you?"‘The young girl seemed a bit fiery today,’ Chris thought."What's wrong with you?" Chris asked.Pregnant women were said to have unpredictable a
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 561 One Billion
Even if Chris lost to Niel and could not inherit the Jewell Group in the future, what Chris could get from other ventures would still be at least dozens or even hundreds of Quirk Enterprises. In Chris's eyes, Quirk Enterprise was unappealing. As for Paige, Quirk Enterprise might mean a lot of money. However, Paige was not driven by the love of money. It was the Quirks that Paige did not fancy. Once in possession of Quirk Enterprise, Paige would inevitably get entangled with the Quirks, and Paige wanted to avoid that.Sierra remained silent, and Mildred did not mind. She continued venting. Whether Sierra responded or not made no difference to her."Sierra, since the Quirks are selling, why not sell it to your in-laws? This way, we can sell it slightly cheaper and do your in-laws a favor. They would appreciate it," Mildred suggested.Sierra asked, "How much are we talking about selling it for?"Sierra had always considered Quirk Enterprise as her own before Gene appeared. Naturally

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

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,

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 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
