So why would he ask that? Did he genuinely not know, or was he just playing dumb?"It's been a while since I saw Paige. I came to check on her," Sierra said with a smile.Chris replied, "She's asleep."Sierra was at a loss for words. Asleep? Was she not supposed to instigate James to come to the Jewells and confront Chris so Paige could give James a hard time? Now, both she and James had come, and Paige was asleep?! She seriously suspected Paige was messing with her. Perhaps it was not Paige who wanted James to show up, and instead, it was Chris. Could it be Chris did not know how to ask her directly, so he instructed Paige to tell her? Sierra looked at Chris, surprised. ‘Who would have thought you were like this, Chris?’"Since getting pregnant, she tends to sleep more," Chris explained.Sierra nodded with a smile. "That's true for pregnant women."Sierra glanced at James.James kept his gaze fixed on Chris. Although he had not spoken yet, his eyes were hostile.Chris,

James never expected Chris to bring up this matter. Originally, he planned to use it to punish and retaliate against Chris. However, at that time, Chris showed no reaction, so James thought Chris did not care. Now, Chris was bringing it up.Was Chris really bothered by it or just indifferent?Sierra looked at Chris. Regardless of whether Chris cared or not, she did not care anymore. What difference did it make if he cared?Chris was now living happily with Paige, and Paige was about to have a baby. Could Sierra still hope Chris will have a change of heart towards her? In the past, she did have such hopes, but now, she had given up. Even if Chris did have a change of heart, she might not accept him. She was different now.During this time, she, Paige, and Chris have all gone through a lot. They were not the same as before. Now, Sierra had no feelings for Chris and did not think about being with him. Her sole focus was getting revenge on James and Nina and then taking contr

She had it all planned out. However, it all slipped away because she fell asleep! Paige was furious and heartbroken that she had missed such a golden opportunity.Chris must have not woken her up on purpose."Why should I have woken you up?" Chris asked nonchalantly.Paige stared at Chris in anger and disbelief. What did he mean by asking why he should wake her up? Was that not something he should do?"You didn't ask me to wake you up," Chris said."We're not on speaking terms. How could I have asked you to wake me up?" Paige replied. If she said that, it would mean she lost again."Since we're not speaking, why should I wake you up?" Chris countered.Paige was left speechless. She looked at Chris for a while but could not find the words to speak."Why are you talking to me now?" Paige finally blurted out after a long pause.Chris looked at Paige and said calmly, "You spoke to me, so why wouldn't I respond? I'm not a petty, grudge-holding man. Since you talked to me, I res

Paige: [Oh.]Sierra: [When it comes to Nina's infatuation with Chris, anyone who bears a resemblance to Chris, even just a bit, becomes someone Nina dives headfirst into.]Paige: [All it takes is someone just a little similar?]Sierra: [That’s right.]Paige: [Well, Ava and I share about 70 to 80 percent resemblance. What should I do?]Sierra: [No need to worry. Even if Ava were your identical twin, it wouldn't matter because you're right there by Chris's side. Compared to you, Ava is just a knockoff. Imagine if you have a genuine work of art, would you even consider having a replica? Definitely not. But when you can't have the real thing, you settle for a substitute. You're the real deal, and Chris, having you, won't spare a glance at Ava. Only someone like Nina, who can't have the authentic, would go crazy wanting a substitute to satisfy her desire for similarity and possession.]Paige: [Is that so?]Sierra: [Absolutely. Don't overthink it. Chris likes you for who you are. If h

"Why?" Chris asked, "You just said people's preferences change over time. Today, you’ll like strawberries, and tomorrow you might like oranges. Today, you’ll like this celebrity, and tomorrow, you'll be obsessed with another. You like me now, but maybe one day you won't.""I won’t." Paige shook her head.Chris raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so sure?""The reason I might have fleeting crushes, liking one celebrity today and another tomorrow, is because they're all outstanding in their own ways. They're all pretty much on par, so I hesitate between them. But you, you're the most outstanding man out there. If I love such an exceptional man like you, I won’t settle for someone less. Besides, the chance of meeting someone more outstanding than you in my lifetime is very, very slim," Paige explained."A slim chance doesn't mean it's impossible," Chris said calmly. "So, if you meet someone more outstanding than me, there's a chance you'll fall for them?""No, that's not what I meant," P
