“Chris Jewell, do you take Paige Quirk to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love and honor her until death do you part?” The priest asked Chris. Paige looked at the priest in surprise. How did he know her name? A minute ago, she was worried the priest might read out her sister’s name. Shocked, the guests whispered among themselves. That was not the name of the bride. “I do,” Chris answered, his voice aloof as always. The priest gleefully nodded and asked Paige, “Paige Quirk, do you take Chris Jewell to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to be faithful to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love and honor him until death do you part?”Paige looked at the priest and replied, “I do.” With a faint smile, the priest announced, “Now, you may exchange rings.” The best man and maid of honor brought out the ring boxes and opened them.

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 2 The Second-Best Sister

New Romance in Marriage Chapter 3 Bad Luck
Paige's grandparents blamed Wendy for not giving them a grandson, and they constantly berated her. Wendy resented Paige, believing that she was the reason for her suffering.“I don’t like Chris,” Paige said callously, trying her best to hide the hurt and pain in her flat voice. Sierra stopped Wendy from saying anything further. She tugged on Wendy’s sleeve and shook her head. Wendy looked at Sierra and glumly closed her mouth. “Mom, Paige is not that kind of person. As her sister, I know that. Chris is her brother-in-law. She will never do that. She’s a kind and honest girl,” Sierra told Wendy. Wendy glanced at Paige and scoffed. She said, “Don’t let Sierra down. She trusts you. Don't do something shameless like stealing her man.” Paige had no words. ‘Who was Mom calling shameless?’She had done nothing to deserve that. Yet, Wendy labeled her shameless. Paige was sad and angry, but she said nothing. She knew that whatever she did would be wrong in Wendy's eyes. She was

Paige stole a glance at Chris, and their eyes met. Chris caught her staring. It was eerily silent. Paige froze and blushed in embarrassment. She shied away from his gaze and wanted to break the silence. However, no words came out of her mouth. “Go and take a shower,” Chris said. Paige looked at Chris in shock. Did he just tell her to shower? She murmured, “I…” Chris uttered, “Take a shower.” Paige said, “We…” Chris insisted. “Take a shower.” Paige had no words. Chris said, “Go on.” “…Oh.” Judging by his frown, Paige believed Chris was angry. She was a little scared of Chris. So, Paige went into the bathroom and took her clothes off for a shower. The hot water splashed on her, soothing her mind and body. She felt alive again after Chris led her around like a puppet all day. She was finally herself again. While showering, Paige reassessed her life plan. Chris was unreadable. She could not figure him out. This morning, Chris stormed out after receiv
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 5 Time
Although Paige was nervous, she bit the bullet and took her time to approach Chris. “Thank goodness I have time. Otherwise, you would never have made it over here today,” Chris said indifferently. Paige’s face reddened. Despite her slow pace, it took only a few steps to get to Chris.She anxiously stood three feet away from Chris, who sat in bed. Chris looked at Paige without a word. Paige felt uneasy under his gaze, not knowing where to put her hands and legs. She nervously took a gulp and said, “Mr. Jewell…” Chris suddenly grabbed her hand and yanked her toward him. Paige stumbled and fell onto the bed with him, crying out in surprise. Chris was on top of her, looking deep into her eyes. His burning gaze made her jittery. What was he trying to do? “M-Mr. Jewell…” Her voice trembled with nerves. Chris said nothing as he stared at her rosy cheeks. There was something about Chris’ gaze that made her feel like prey.Paige knew what Chris was thinking, even thoug

The receptionist glanced at Sierra. It was hard to forget a pretty face such as Sierra’s from the wedding reception.“Can I have a form of identification for registration?” The receptionist asked with a smile. Sierra handed over her driver's license, which showed she had the same last name as the bride. The receptionist believed Sierra's story and assigned her the room next to the bridal suite.Then, Sierra took the key card and walked into the elevator. …In the bridal suite, Paige grasped onto Chris for dear life. He came on so strong that she had to cling to him for balance. She looked at Chris. The intensity in his gaze scared her. “Chris…” Paige let out a soft cry of his name, her voice trembling with sobs.Chris had made her cry earlier. She thought the crying would stop Chris, but boy, was she wrong. His behavior was not that of a brother-in-law. Paige thought if she reminded him that they were supposed to be in-laws, Chris would remember she was his ex-fiancée
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 7 Home
Paige sighed in relief. She walked past Chris to the living room and saw the clothes on the sofa. Paige went over and picked them up for a look. They were brand new. She took them and headed to the en-suite bathroom to get dressed. She felt comfortable in the loose-fitting athletic wear. Paige emerged from the bathroom after a change of clothes. “Come on. Let’s get some food in you,” Chris said. Paige gave a nod. She was hungry. Paige walked with Chris out of the suite and took the elevator downstairs to the restaurant. Since Chris had ordered for her, the server immediately served the food when they sat down. Paige believed she could finish a six-course meal without a problem. The reality was she lost her appetite after the main course. It was because Chris was staring while she was eating. Paige found it strange that she only managed to finish one main course while Chris finished two. She was not a slow eater, but Chris did not rush through his meal either. He ate w
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 8 Pack Your Things
Paige looked at the clock on the wall. It was 11:00 AM. She had been asleep for four hours. Paige grew nervous at the sight of Chris. It was hard to keep her cool when she was around him. Chris threw his jacket onto the sofa and loosened his tie as he approached the bed. “…You’re back,” she said stiffly. “Yeah,” Chris answered indifferently. He got into bed and drew close to kiss Paige’s lips. She caught a whiff of the smell of alcohol. The alcohol mixed with his musk was intoxicating. Paige tried to push him away. However, Chris mistook her struggling attempts as coy play, and he was digging it. After locking lips with Paige, Chris took a shower and went to bed. However, Paige lay wide awake. She peeked at Chris, who was asleep. With his eyes closed, the man’s piercing gaze was gone, and his facial features softened… What the hell was he thinking? Why had he married her? Was it to get on her sister’s nerves? Was it to uphold the Jewells’ reputation? Paige could

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,
