New Romance in Marriage Chapter 612 Martin Confesses
She loved Chris. Martin was just a stand-in. While she enjoyed the ambiguous care, she would never be with the substitute.A stand-in was always a stand-in, unable to replace the main.She could not ruin her chance with Chris over a stand-in and firmly believed that she and Chris would end up together.Martin was just a comfort during the days when she could not have Chris.Nina pretended to be engrossed in the movie, avoiding looking at Martin.Martin glanced at Nina but said nothing, placing his hand on the armrest and watching the movie, too.…After the movie ended, Martin escorted Nina home.Martin was clear about his mission.Having interacted with Nina during this time, he could sense Nina's complex feelings towards him. On one hand, she treated him as Mr. Jewell’s substitute, but on the other, she seemed enchanted by his tenderness and care.He indeed treated Nina tenderly and caringly, but it was all an act.Martin regarded Nina only as a task to accomplish and ho
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 613 James’ Fertility Issues
Martin watched Nina's silhouette, his brow slightly furrowed. Winning over Nina did not seem so easy. She seemed to regard him merely as Mr. Jewell’s substitute, enjoying his tenderness while warning herself not to fall for him. It was tricky, and Martin wanted a quick resolution. He did not want to waste too much energy on Nina; being Mr. Jewell’s stand-in meant dealing with important matters for him, not these romantic entanglements. He had ambitions, after all. A man's focus should be on his career, not on trivial romantic affairs that offer no substantial help in life.…Sierra stared at the pregnancy test, frowning. She was still not pregnant. Despite James' consistent use of contraception, she had secretly tampered with it. However, why was she not pregnant yet? Sierra felt a bit anxious. She and James had been married for some time now. Although Russell and Maria had not said anything, she could tell from their expressions that they were eager for her to conc
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 614 James Deals With Martin
"Were you with Martin?" James asked.Nina only bit her lip lightly. Not speaking meant admission.James frowned, displeased. "Nina, do you even know what you're doing? Martin is Martin, and Chris is Chris. Martin isn't Chris."Nina murmured softly, "I know.""No, you don't know. If you did, you wouldn't spend all your time with Martin. You're treating Martin as a substitute for Chris," James said sternly.Nina could not find words to respond."Nina..." James sighed. Seeing her like this, James felt helpless. His heart ached for her. "You need to understand that Martin isn't Chris. Trying to forget Chris by using Martin won't work."Suddenly, Nina's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at James, choking back her words. "Brother, I know what I'm doing is wrong, but... what else can I do? I don't know what to do.""You silly girl..." James said, "It's simple. Fall in love with someone else, and naturally, you'll forget about him."Nina, her eyes red from crying, said, "Bro
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 615 The Child Isn't Mine
Paige nodded. "Of course, my sister told me.""Are you sure it was Sierra who told you?"Paige blinked. "What's wrong? I'm sure."Chris said, "If I remember correctly, didn't Sierra have a pregnancy before? If James is infertile, whose child was it?""Huh?" Paige looked at Chris, dumbfounded.She had not even thought about this before.It was true that her sister had been pregnant. How could she have been if James was infertile?Unless... the child her sister had carried was not James'.Paige felt a bit overwhelmed.She did not want to believe Sierra was like that.Even though James was a scoundrel through and through, it seemed a bit off for her sister to do something like this. Did her sister not love James so much?Why would she get pregnant with another man's child?"Perhaps the child was not James'?" Chris asked.Paige hesitated. She did not know how to answer.To her, Sierra was not that kind of person. However, why would her sister say James was infertile after get
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 616 Not a Match
That was the crux of the matter.Chris remarked, "It’s not something you need to worry about. Sierra is smarter than you. She'll figure it out." Paige was at a loss for words.Once again, Chris indirectly implied that she was not bright. Fine. Paige admitted she might not be as clever as her sister. However, even if her sister was smart, what solution could she come up with? James was infertile. If Sierra were to have a child with another man, paternity tests would expose everything. Unless... James did not know he was infertile. Paige's eyes sparkled with a glimmer of possibility. Normal men were always full of confidence, and nobody bothered to check their fertility. Sierra has been pregnant before. If James knew he was infertile, he would know the child was not his and use it as an excuse to break up with Sierra. However, James did not, which proved James must think he was a normal, capable man. Though she had not had experiences with other men, she read plenty o
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 617 James and Nina's Argument
"In the past, I didn’t think too much about it. But suddenly, I realized the gap between us," Martin said. Nina asked, "Did something happen?"Martin’s tone hinted at unspoken words. "No," he said after a pause. "I just realized that in both marriage and relationships, there's a notion of compatibility, of being on the same level. But between us and the Burts, there's a mismatch."Nina's voice faltered. "You...""Okay, I've made myself clear. From now on, don't call me or try to reach out," Martin said before ending the call abruptly.Nina could not believe it. One moment, they were talking. The next, his phone was off.He had her blocked everywhere. Was Martin so determined to cut her off?Why?She did not believe his excuse about mismatched backgrounds.From the beginning, Martin knew she was the Burts' daughter. He was fully aware of her status and still treated her well. How could he suddenly cut ties because of her background?Something must have happened.Nina furro
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 618 The Chemistry Between Martin and Sierra
Sierra was a bit surprised. She had not expected Nina and James to argue over Martin, not Chris.Well, Martin seemed to have some charm after all. She had known James and Nina for so long, and this was the first time she had seen them argue.Nina had always been gentle and soft-spoken in front of James, like a delicate flower, while James was caring and understanding, like a protective big brother to Nina...However, now, Nina was yelling at James, and James was telling Nina to leave. She wondered what spell Martin had cast on Nina to make her go this far for him.Sierra stood on the balcony, watching Nina leave. After a while, James drove off, too. Was he going after Nina? Whatever. Sierra did not care. It was better if they were both gone.Sierra took out her phone, pondered for a moment, and created a group chat with Martin and Paige.After creating the group, Sierra asked Paige to add Chris to the chat. Paige did not know what Sierra was up to but added Chris anyw
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 619 A Call from Martin
So what, though?Nina pretended not to notice him, her face cold as she started to head upstairs."Stop!" James called out to Nina.Nina halted and turned around. She looked at James, asking calmly, "What's up?"Nina's attitude reignited the frustration James had been suppressing all afternoon and evening.James had stayed up all night in the living room waiting for her. He had already made his stance clear, already softening to offer a silent apology.Yet, when Nina returned, she acted as if she had not seen him, and her tone remained indifferent.What was she implying? Was she going to get angry or even break ties over someone like Martin, a mere stand-in?"Coming back so late, what were you up to?" James asked, restraining his temper.Nina replied icily, "Do I have to report to my brother about everything I do now? Including where I go and who I see?"James frowned, his voice chilling. "Did you go to see Martin?"Nina looked at James, chin slightly raised, and said arro

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,
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

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.

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

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?"

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
