"Okay." Chris nodded nonchalantly.

He did not quite believe that blob of flesh could grow up to be like him.

Paige could sense Chris' indifference, and it made her angry. She looked at the blob of flesh in the baby cot, thinking, ‘Baby, my darling baby, you must do well. You must grow up better-looking than your dad and give him a slap in his face. Otherwise, your dad will blame me again."

As Ann and Luna hovered around the baby after the others had left, Paige slowly fell asleep on the bed.

Giving birth was exhausting.

Seeing Paige asleep and the baby too, Ann and Luna left quietly, so as not to disturb Paige's rest.

Only Chris remained.

When Paige woke up, it was already two hours later.

Opening her eyes, she saw Chris sitting by the baby cot, looking at the baby.

The little one was awake as well. As his eyes were still undeveloped and lacking focus, he just looked around randomly.

    Paige nestled gently into Chris's arms.With the two of them staying close and not speaking, the atmosphere in the room was serene and nice. “Does it hurt?” Chris asked Paige softly after a long while.Paige hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "Yeah, it hurts."After asking if childbirth hurt, Chris fell silent again and held Paige close.Paige thought for a moment before saying, "But… looking back now, it doesn't seem so painful."Back then, it felt like agony, but now, it did not seem that painful anymore.Chris said, "People say the pain fades with time, but your scar hasn't healed yet, and you've forgotten the pain?"While Paige pondered on that statement, she suddenly looked up at Chris and asked, "Are you saying you don't want us to have more children because you're afraid I'll suffer?"Chris looked at her and asked, "Aren't you suffering?"Paige looked at Chris in surprise, never expecting that Chris had decided not to have more children because he was afraid she

    "Do you want me to pick a name?" Paige said to Chris.Could she trust Chris' taste?Chris said, "Are you sure you want me to pick?"Paige was taken aback. "What's wrong? Can't you pick?"Chris nodded. "I can, but I'm afraid that in the future, you'll bring it up in an argument, saying I was dictatorial, I didn't give you the right to name our son, or you labored to give birth to a son for me but weren't qualified to name him."“I won't do that.""Are you sure?" Chris asked.Paige nodded earnestly. "I'm sure."Chris said, "In that case, let's call him Hunter."“Hunter Jewell?"Paige initially thought the name sounded ordinary, but after a while, she found it had a nice ring to it."Shall we go with that?" Paige asked.Chris nodded. "Okay."Paige looked at Chris and asked somewhat suspiciously, "Did you already have the name in mind?"Otherwise, how could he have instantly come up with the name Hunter?"Yeah." Chris nodded. "For my son, I had decided on a name early on. Do

    There was no way around it, though.After all, she could not resist Chris. What if Chris really tore the clothes apart?Paige slowly let go of her hand.Chris pulled open the collar and stared.Paige’s face grew even redder, her heart pounding rapidly."That's enough." Paige blushed, covering her collar.This time, Chris did not pull anymore. He said, “Well, there’s definitely a difference now."Paige blushed even more, slightly biting her lip, feeling a secret joy inside.Chris looked at Paige and said lightly, "However, don't be too happy too soon."Paige, with a red face, defended herself, "I... I'm not."Chris said, "When women have children, there will be a certain degree of growth because of breastfeeding. But when that’s over, it will return to its original state. There’s also a certain chance it will not be as good as before."Paige thought Chris was right."However,” Chris said lightly, “You don't need to worry too much. You need to have something to change.

    Chris nodded and returned to the hospital room.Looking at Paige sleeping with her eyes closed, Chris understood.Paige must be in pain from the episiotomy. She was just too shy to speak up about it.Chris could not fathom why she was being shy about it. They were husband and wife and had been intimate countless times.While Paige slept, Chris attended to his work.The situation with Luna escalated quickly online. However, Luna remained silent, and after Jewell Group issued its initial statement and legal letter, there were no further actions.Chris' people went to the hotel to retrieve the surveillance footage. As expected, the footage had already been taken, presumably by the security who had been paid off. They took the money, handed over the footage, and the other party destroyed it.So, proving Luna's innocence with the surveillance footage was impossible.However, that was not surprising.Chris' people also traced the person who bribed the security. They wore black sport

    In Hevensford, Paige only had herself as family. Being sisters in Hevensford meant taking care of each other and lending support when needed.Paige hesitated, feeling both embarrassed and shy to discuss this with her sister."Do you think I'm being too direct or crude, Paige? But the truth is all those men fancy young, pretty, and well-shaped women. Many women end up being abandoned after getting pregnant and having children. I know Chris treats you well, and you have confidence in him, firmly believing he's not that kind of person. However, those women who were abandoned and rejected once believed firmly that their boyfriends or husbands would love them forever, too. But what happened in the end? People aren't constant, and neither are their feelings. They change with time, circumstances, and people," Sierra said.People do change over time.Was she not a prime example?In the past, she did everything in her power to break up Chris and Paige. Now she hoped Paige and Chris would

    ‘Mother and son were safe?’Nina wondered if Niel was just plain stupid and his brain filled with crap. How could he let Paige safely give birth to their son? Did he not know what it meant for Paige to safely give birth to her son? "Congratulations to Paige," Nina said dryly. She wanted to congratulate her with a smile but could not force it out even if she tried. Sierra smiled and said, "Now that Paige has given birth to a child, her position in the Jewells is secure. I can relax now." Having a child does indeed serve as a talisman for Paige. As long as she does not do anything too outrageous, the Jewells will tolerate her. It seemed divorcing Chris and Paige would be even more difficult for Nina."Oh, right, Nina... I heard you're looking for someone?" Sierra asked with concern. Nina asked, "Who told you?" Sierra smiled and said, "In this family, there are no secrets." Nina looked at Sierra and nodded. "Well, I'm looking for someone. Sierra, do you think if y

    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,

    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

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.

    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

    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?"

    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
