However, she seemed absent-minded now.Tsk.She was indeed wavering.Paige placed a glass of water on Chris's desk.Chris asked in a calm tone, "Did your sister tell you anything?""She didn't say much. Just asked me to persuade Dad not to divorce Mom,” Paige replied.Chris asked, "Did you agree?"Paige widened her eyes, stared at Chris, then slowly shook her head. "No."Chris looked at Paige.

Chapter 174 Sister's Intentions

At this moment, Chris walked over. His gaze fixed on Paige, who was pondering over the coin in her hand. She could not recall which one signified divorce and which one represented staying together. What if it landed on the divorce side, or if she picked the one to stay married?Paige stared at the coin, her uncertainty growing with each passing moment.Chris, on the other hand, watched her silently without pushing her to make a decision, allowing her to decide for herself.After a while, Paige still hadn't made up her mind. She looked up at Chris and asked, "What do you think…? Should I flip it?"Chris raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips. He had not realized this young girl could be so indecisive, even though she often appeared quite resolute."Go for it," Chris replied casually.To be honest, Chris was not particularly concerned about whether Bob and Wendy would divorce. He only got involved because Paige cared. Otherwise, he would not have paid any attent

Chapter 176 Wendy Attempted Suicide

Sierra set down the soup with a clank, with Wendy watching her closely.Sierra grinned. "Paige's got her hands full."She did not mention if Paige knew about the situation.Wendy furrowed her brows. She was no fool; Sierra's words revealed that Paige was distancing herself. In a situation like that, Paige would definitely inform Sierra, but instead, Sierra claimed Paige was too busy.Wendy understood now. Paige knew about Bob's desire to get a divorce, but she had no intention of intervening.Sierra and Paige’s thoughts mirrored each other. Paige was now Mrs. Jewell, and her words carried weight.

Chapter 177 Bob Doesn’t Care About Wendy

With Paige and Chris present, things were bound to get complicated.On the way there, he pondered if Wendy's actions were intentional — to threaten him not to divorce her with her death. He would not compromise. He refused to believe that Wendy would truly dare to take her own life. It was just a means to threaten him, and he would not yield so easily.However, if he did not yield, someone else would, and that person was Paige. Despite not having a strong bond with his daughter since she was a child, he understood her personality. Paige was a deeply emotional person. Perhaps it was due to her early emotional deprivation that she had grown to value relationships more. Even though Wendy might not be the best mother to Paige, she still considered Wendy as a mom and loved her. Paige could not bear to watch Wendy try to end her life."Dad..." Sierra and Paige, the two sisters, looked at Bob with teary eyes.Bob approached them, his face full of worry and anxiety. "How’s your mom d

Chapter 178 Expecting Compensation For His Services

Sierra felt both guilty and worried as she said, “Mom, I can see you haven't been sleeping well. You look exhausted, and it hurts me to see you like this. I just wanted you to get a good night's sleep, but I added too many pills. I thought mixing the sleeping pills in the soup would dilute their effect, so I added a few extra…”Wendy responded with silence.She looked at her remorseful daughter and said, “Alright. I understand. I don't blame you.”Sierra wiped away her tears and told Wendy, “Mom, I think we stumbled upon something unexpected this time.”“What do you mean?” Wendy asked.Sierra spoke in a hushed tone, “Dad is unusually gentle with you today, and even Paige seemed really concerned about you.”Wendy's eyes flickered for a moment.She was not naive to understand what Sierra was getting at. Sierra meant that her 'suicide attempt' had actually frightened them.Had it scared Bob, too?Did he change his mind about the divorce?Wendy looked at Sierra and said, “I under

Chapter 179 To the Cloudnine Suites Again

Paige hesitated, her cheeks turning red as she glanced at Chris. Did they really have to discuss this now? What was the difference between the themed rooms anyway?With her face blushing, Paige mumbled, "Um… Any of them is fine."She was shy and embarrassed, unlike Chris."Any of them is fine?" Chris thought for a moment before replying, "How about staying in one themed room for the first half of the night and another for the second half?"Paige blinked in surprise.The first half of the night? The second half of the night? Was he planning to stay up all night?Paige blushed and looked at Chris.His silence meant he could stay up all night, but… she could not. Sometimes, she wondered why, even though she was 20 and in the prime of her youth, she could not outlast Chris in bed. Was it because of her physical condition? She was considering going to the gym.Paige had no choice. She needed Chris's help, so it was settled — one themed room for the first half of the night and an

Chapter 180 The Truth

Paige, dressed in the bridal outfit and veiled, stepped out slowly. When Chris heard the footsteps, he turned in the direction of the sound and saw the fair-skinned Paige in the bridal outfit, moving gracefully.The moment he laid eyes on her, he was aroused."Come here," Chris hoarsely called out to Paige from the bed.Paige hesitated for a moment, and her face blushed as she slowly walked over to Chris and stood in front of him.Chris looked at Paige. Her skin was fair, and the white in the bridal outfit complemented her snow-white complexion beautifully. The combination was simply stunning.Chris said, "Perhaps… we should have a wedding.""Huh?" Paige, looking through the delicate veil, stared at Chris in confusion. Why did they need to have another wedding? Was it for more gifts?"You look perfect in white," Chris remarked.Paige replied, "Oh."…Later, Paige finally understood why the bridal outfit was disposable. It's because there was no way to wear it again. She h
