"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'll come find you.""Nina... Nina... Nina..." Martin seemed not to have heard Nina's words clearly, just mumbling "Nina" continuously.Nina paused. Martin sounded like he was drunk.It seemed that Martin genuinely loved her. However, due to her brother's interference, he was forced to give up on her and their days together. For a man to resort to alcohol to numb himself, Martin must be feeling terrible.Normally, he suppressed his longing for her, refraining from contacting her. Now that he was drunk, he subconsciously reached out...Nina's tears flowed even more fiercely.Her heart ached for Martin, but at the same time, she blamed James even more.Who gave him the right to interfere?"Martin, where are you? Are you drunk?" Nina choked out."I'm not drunk... not... Nina... Nina..." Mart
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 621 Stirring Up Trouble
Nina was stunned.She never expected James to actually kiss her.James wrapped his arms around Nina and held her close. His lips pressed against hers, unmoving... His heart pounded hard.

After all, he was not planning to hide his feelings forever. His parents would know sooner or later about his feelings for Nina. Since Nina was just an adopted daughter, being with her did not violate any moral standards.James released Nina and parted their lips.

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 622 Give Birth to an Heir
Had James intentionally got close to Sierra?After all, Sierra was Chris' fiancée.Was James seeking revenge against Chris?It seemed like James had also guessed Russell's thoughts and stayed silent."James..." Russell felt deeply unsettled. He looked at James with a serious expression and asked, "Did you do it on purpose? Intentionally taking Sierra away from Chris? Were you seeking revenge against Chris for hurting Nina?""Yes," James did not deny it, looking directly at Russell as he admitted. “Why should Nina be the one so heartbroken to the point of severe depression while Chris can get married and have children with other women without care? I couldn’t stand for it. How could Chris hurt Nina like this?""You're crazy!"

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 623 I'm Not Picky
James looked at his father, unsure if Russel was just trying to scare him with empty threats or if he had truly made up his mind."Dad, I really love Nina," James said softly, hoping to evoke some sympathy from Russel and make him reconsider."James, I know you love Nina, but I also love Burt Corporation and money. I won't risk Burt Corporation for anything," Russel said seriously.James did not know what to say at that moment. He never expected his dad to make such a decision.Did he mean nothing to his father?His dad did not even try to persuade him, only giving him the freedom to have an heir before letting him be.If he followed his father's words, having an heir would distance him from the heart of Burt Corporation's power.

After all, every man wants to be successful and have h
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 624 How to Be a Bitch

When Martin told Sierra about his actions, Sierra told Paige.Paige was shocked to hear it all.Paige: [How can Martin be so scheming?]Sierra: [To become a bitch, you've got to have some tricks up your sleeve.

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 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,
