Paige replied, “…I’m hungry.” Chris said, “Get up. Come have breakfast.” Paige only looked at Chris. She knew she had to get out of bed to eat. However, she was… How was she supposed to get out of bed? Although she and Chris were intimate with one another, she felt uncomfortable being bare around him. Chris’ eyes were on Paige as she sat still in bed, even though she had said she was hungry. Did Paige expect him to feed her? “Should I bring the food up and feed you?” Chris asked. Paige stared at Chris in shock. She quickly shook her head. No, no, no. She could not possibly have him feed her. Paige would lose her appetite. Still, what was Chris thinking? How did he come up with such a horrifying thing? “Why aren’t you getting up, then?” Chris asked. Paige looked at Chris with clenched teeth. Fine, she would get out of bed. She would show Chris how absurd he was. Paige bit the bullet, pulled open the covers, and got out of bed. She slipped past C
Annabelle, Millie, and Lisa showed off their expensive purchases worth tens of thousands of dollars.Paige was curious, but she did not want to pry. People could buy whatever they wanted, and she had no right to ask about it.She lay in bed on her phone, reading online novels and watching short videos. “Paige,” Lisa suddenly called Paige. Surprised, Paige looked at Lisa standing by Paige’s bed. “What’s the matter?” Paige asked. Lisa looked Paige in the eye and asked, “What is higher society like?” Paige was taken aback. She looked back at Lisa, not understanding where the question was coming from. “Why the sudden curiosity?” Paige asked. Lisa blushed and replied, “I’m just curious.” Paige brushed it off, figuring that ordinary people found the high life intriguing. “High society has a different standard of living than most people,” Paige pointed out. It was not the answer Lisa was looking for. Lisa asked, “Um… Is it possible for girls from ordinary families to m
It would be embarrassing if Paige called and Chris refused her invitation for dinner. She had her pride. “Nah. He’s busy with work,” Paige said. Kyle said with a smile, “He still has to eat. He should make time for you too.” Paige had no words. She glanced at Kyle. Kyle called Chris by his first name as if he was close to the man. However, Kyle should know the situation between her and Chris if he was on good terms with Chris. Although Kyle could not possibly know that Sierra cheated on Chris, he would know she took her sister’s place to marry Chris. Paige doubted Kyle was oblivious to her relationship with Chris. Yet, he told her to invite Chris out.Kyle probably wanted her to make a fool of herself. Still, Paige had no conflict with Kyle. It did not explain his motivation. What was Kyle’s motive for asking her to invite Chris out if not to mock her? “Paige?” Kyle looked at Paige through the rear-view mirror. He asked with a smile, “What’s the matter? Are you w
“How did you guys get together?” Chris asked. From his perspective, it seemed as if Paige would never cross paths with Kyle. Somehow, they ended up having dinner together. Maybe they knew each other from before. “Chris, this is my girlfriend, Lisa.” Kyle pulled Lisa close and introduced her to Chris. “I only found out today when I picked Lisa up that Paige and Lisa were roommates.” Chris glanced at Lisa. The woman looked a little familiar. Lisa blushed when Chris looked at her. She curled her lips to say hello to Chris, but Chris quickly turned away. Her smile froze, but Lisa did not take long to pull herself together. Paige was oblivious to what had happened. Kyle looked at Lisa furiously. Lisa was his woman, and she tried to hit on Chris. Although Lisa had done nothing out of line, Kyle had been in enough relationships to know how a woman looked at a man.He did not care much about Lisa since she was easy. He was angry, not because he cared, but because Lisa tr
Paige stared at her roommates, her eyes wide with surprise. Millie, Lisa, and Annabelle appeared friendly, as if they were close to Tanya. They had only met Tanya the day before. Tanya merely dropped them off at school. The journey home seemed to have strengthened their bond. What on earth happened last night? Paige’s three roommates were infuriated at Tanya for her sake after they ran into Tanya and Chris having dinner at the restaurant last night. Today, they had a change of attitude. Lisa, Annabelle, and Millie saw the look on Paige’s face and felt awkward. Yesterday, they supported Paige in teaching Tanya a lesson because they thought she was a mistress. Today, they were chummy with the mistress.“Paige, you got the wrong idea about Tanya,” Lisa said with a smile. Paige had no words. Tanya looked at Lisa in confusion and asked Paige, “What? What wrong idea did you have about me?” Lisa answered with a grin, “Paige thinks something is going on between you and C
Ha. Paige was getting ahead of herself by celebrating early. Tanya's face turned red with anger, but she forced a smile. Paige smiled broadly in return.In fact, Paige had no issues with Tanya. From a woman to a woman, Paige saw the love in Tanya’s eyes as she looked at Chris. Tanya had a romantic candlelight dinner with Chris the night before, and now she tried to be chummy with Chris. It was a punch in the gut for Paige, who was Chris’ wife. No matter the circumstances of their marriage, Paige was still Chris’ wife.Tanya had no right to put Paige down. Paige believed she had become arrogant. She was afraid of Chris’ revenge and torment in the early days of their marriage. As Paige got to know him, she gradually lost her fear as Chris treated her with respect, except in the bedroom. Chris did nothing to her when she kicked up a huge fuss last night. “What’s the matter, Ms. Burns? You look upset.” With her eyes fixed on Tanya, Paige asked with a smile. Before T
Tanya gave Lisa and the others a look. The lot got the hint and started to persuade Paige, “Go on, Paige. It has been a while since we’ve been to a bar together.” “That’s right, Paige. It’s still early. It’s not like you have anything else planned.” Since Paige wanted to go anyway, she looked expectantly at Chris. “Babe, can we…” Chris interrupted Paige. “We have plans.” Speechless, Paige blinked and looked at Chris in confusion. She wondered what their plans were for the evening. There was nothing going on at home. Chris took Paige’s hand before telling everybody, “We should get going. I hope you have a great time.” He then pulled Paige up and took off. Paige did not protest. She simply let Chris drag her along. … Chris and Paige walked out of the restaurant. A few feet later, he paused. Paige fixated on Chris. Why did he stop walking? “Come on.” Chris pulled Paige along. Paige asked, “…Where to?” “Shopping,” Chris answered. Paige was dumbfounded. S
Chris led the way while Paige followed behind him. Paige was willing to do whatever Chris asked, so long as it was not breaking the law. She followed Chris to the second floor. The mall was a large shopping complex with a supermarket and jewelry section on the first floor and fashion stores on the second to fourth floors.The place carried various luxury brands. Chris took Paige into a store. Then, Paige witnessed the exaggerated shopping spree she had seen on TV before. “Not that, or that, and that. I’ll take everything else in her size.” Paige was moved to tears by Chris’ generosity. She could not believe she was living a scene out of a soap opera. That was really how the rich shopped. Although she came from a wealthy family, Paige had never bought luxury items so freely. She had a limited allowance. Her parents gave her twenty thousand dollars in pocket money every month. To the working class, the amount was a lot. However, it was just a drop in the bucket to an
