New Romance in Marriage

“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. Paige held the ring w

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

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

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

Sierra started to change her approach. Before, Sierra behaved like a typical heiress when dating Chris. She was a gentle and virtuous lady.Now, she was acting like a sad little bunny.Chris told Paige, “Go on.” Paige looked at Wendy and Sierra. Without a word, she went upstairs to pack her things. “Chris…” Sierra stared at Chris with tear-filled eyes. Chris glanced differently at Sierra. “I’d prefer if you call me Mr. Jewell since I’m your brother-in-law.” Tears streamed down her cheeks as Sierra looked at Chris. She bit her lip to stop herself from sobbing, and her expression was heartbreaking. Feeling for Sierra, Wendy put her arm around Sierra’s shoulder and said to Chris, “Sierra really loves you, Chris.” Chris curled his lips at Wendy and asked sarcastically, “If she loves me, why did she get into another man’s bed?” Wendy was upset. It never crossed her mind that Chris would be rude to her. Did he have no feelings for Sierra? “I’m Paige’s husband, Wendy.
