last update Last Updated: 2023-10-02 17:37:00
The temptation was deadly when the girl got drunk.

Chris knew Paige had a low alcohol tolerance, so it would be best for her to drink less to stay safe.

However, after what happened last night, he believed he should get her drunk once in a while for a different experience.

“What about last night?” Paige blinked at him, looking confused.

Chris raised his brows at Paige.

What did she mean?

“I got drunk last night. I… don’t remember anything. Did I do something embarrassing?” she said with furrowed brows.

Chris looked at her.

The girl was pretending to forget what happened last night, and her acting was rather convincing.

He almost believed her, if not for her terrible blushing. It was proof that she remembered what happened last night.

“Mhmm…” Chris nodded and decided to play along with her. “You were drunk and super active last night.”

Paige looked baffled when she heard him.

How could he lie to her? She was not active at all!

What a jerk! Liar!

“Really?” She asked shyly.

    Sierra was speechless. No matter how good other men were, they were no better than Chris. Besides, those who knew about her failed marriage with Chris knew what caused it. The men who knew the truth would never fall for her, but that did not matter anymore. She did not need another man right now because she had James. James might not be better than Chris. However, he was considered a decent man in the upper social circle. Sierra looked at her so-called friends. They might seem to care about her but were gloating at her misfortune. They asked her out today just to have a look at her pitifulness and tried to make her feel even more terrible. Fortunately, she was no longer the pure and innocent girl everyone could take advantage of. Before she left, she told James where she was going and asked him to pick her up. He would arrive soon. With James around, her so-called friends would be jealous of her. She could not wait to see their faces. Even if she did not marry Chr

    Why was Sierra so popular with the rich guys? Was it because she seemed pure and innocent? Men must be blind to believe the image she created. “Mr. Burt, what do you think about my purse?” The girl who bought the purse asked James. Sierra frowned at the girl. They might be fake friends, but they had maintained a fragile relationship for many years. What the girl did was an attempt to break that balance. James had a glance and said, “It’s okay.” The girl laughed. “I think it’s okay to. Did you know this purse originally belonged to Sierra? She got it from Chris as a Valentine’s gift.” James looked at Sierra. Sierra did not say a word. She did not feel guilty before James because she never did anything wrong. It was James who asked her out even when he knew she was Chris’ fiance. She cheated on Chris but not James. “Then why is it with you?” James asked the girl. The girl glanced at Sierra and replied with an evil grin, “It’s because the purse reminds Sierra of Ch

    Chris was so heartless.He had no idea how difficult it had been for Sierra to decide to return the items to him.There were countless nights Sierra would cry in silence, staring at his gifts and missing him. The items were not just things to her. They represented Chris’ feelings for her. Now, these items were no more. Sierra had nothing to remind her of Chris. Paige said, “Don’t be sad, Sierra.” She comforted Sierra clumsily. Paige was at a loss on how to calm her down. She could not possibly tell Sierra to get over Chris and move on. Sierra might think she was jealous. Still, Sierra was in a contradicting position. Sierra had a new boyfriend now, but she still carried feelings for Chris. It would be a problem if James were to find out Sierra could not forget Chris. James seemed like a nice man. Paige hoped that Sierra would cherish him. Paige wished happiness for Sierra. “Paige, can you return the items to me?” Sierra asked Paige with tearful eyes. Paige had

    Paige would not feel bad if Sierra had taken the money. “Why didn’t you give all the money to her?” Chris asked. Paige was dumbstruck. That was right. She could have offered all the money to Sierra. Those things belonged to Sierra in the first place. The money from the sale should go straight to Sierra. Paige could not do it, though. She was reluctant to part with the money.Paige blushed. She must appear obsessed with money. Paige turned to Chris with an embarrassed look. “Maybe I should wire the money to Sierra now.” “It’s fine,” Chris said. “I gave her the items. Since she returned them to me, they are mine now. What’s mine is yours. You can keep the money from the sale. No need to split the money with her.” Chris did not care much for the tiny sum. Even so, he did not want to give the money to Sierra. Paige had no words. She looked at Chris. He would not have suggested it if he did not want her to do it. It put her in a difficult position. “I don’t

    Although Kyle never talked about why they got together, Lisa had an inkling that it was because of Paige. However, Lisa refused to delve further into the reason. There was not any point in doing so. She did not plan to stay long in the relationship with Kyle anyway. They were dating now, but Lisa was not blind. She knew that Kyle did not love her. Anyway, she was not interested in Kyle, either. She was more into his money. Kyle’s family was not that rich, to be honest. However, it was enough in Lisa’s books. Kyle and Tanya gave her money and resources to move her career into acting. Lisa was on her way to becoming an actress. When she was to become successful, she would meet wealthier men and other suitors who wanted to date celebrities. For now, Kyle was Lisa’s stepping stone. Kyle was using her, but Lisa was using Kyle too. In the past, Lisa was not close with Paige. However, her relationship was not that bad, either. They hung out as roommates. However, Paige wa

    So it appeared Paige did not want to go through the physical examination. Paige must have told Chris about it, and now Chris had become her mouthpiece. Ann scoffed to herself. They were definitely not on the same page. It was no wonder Ann found Paige annoying. If Ann could have a daughter-in-law who shared her values, she would have someone obedient and subservient. Paige, on the other hand… Ann had left Paige out in the cold on purpose. She did not like Paige or Sierra for that matter. The reason was simple. Sierra and Paige were not good enough for her son. That was why she ignored Paige. However, Paige did the same to her. They were giving each other the cold shoulder. It made Ann angrier. Ann could dislike Paige and snub her, but Paige should feel fearful and uneasy. Paige should be all over her, trying to seek her favor. Paige had never once tried to kiss up to her. It was getting on Ann’s nerves. Chris’ affection emboldened Paige to disrespect Ann. She

    It was a shame that Ann’s plan had gone out the window. … That afternoon, Paige went to class and then enjoyed a nice break at Paulownia when she received a call from Wendy. “Mom.” “Come home for dinner. We need to talk,” Wendy said aloofly. Paige responded, “Okay.” Wendy hung up. Paige sighed. She wondered why her mother was looking for her now. Wendy was not fond of Paige. Her marriage to Chris did not earn Paige any favors with her mother either. Wendy believed Paige had stolen Sierra’s fiancé. To think that Wendy attended the wedding too. Wendy could have jumped out and stopped Paige from supposedly stealing Sierra’s fiancé. However, all Wendy did was stop Chris from leaving. The Quirks’ other family members suggested Paige took Sierra’s place in marrying Chris. Having done nothing to stop it, it seemed as if Wendy and Bob approved the idea. So, Paige did not resist for the sake of the Quirks. Still, she hated Paige for it. It was clear who the unreaso

    Paige studied Chris’ face, checking for his reaction. Chris looked back at Paige. “Ha…” Chris chuckled. “Are you trying to trap me with a baby?” Paige blushed. “No, I’m not.” That thought had never crossed her mind. Her parents had that thought, though. “You aren’t?” Chris asked with a raised brow. Despite her embarrassment, she gave a firm nod to show her determination. “I won’t do that to you.” “What are your thoughts then?” Chris asked. He never seemed to know what was going through her mind. Paige was speechless. What were her thoughts? Her thoughts were unimportant. It was not as if Chris would respect them if she were to tell him. At least, she did not think so. “I just want to be a good wife to you,” Paige said. Chris had mentioned that he only expected her to be a good and docile wife. “No kids?” Chris asked. Paige was speechless. She stared at Chris, unable to hide the blush on her cheeks. The question was out of nowhere. “You said we’d wa

    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,

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

    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

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.
