บททั้งหมดของ New Romance in Marriage: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

“Please,” Paige said. Paige had no problem begging Chris because she had done so many times. She basically pleaded with him every night, asking him to stop. The word “please” simply rolled off her tongue now. Chris looked at Paige. The woman did not have the will to fight back. She just did as she was told. However, he kind of loved it when she did that. She was soft and docile. Paige could not be any more adorable. “Is that it?” Chris asked, “Is this how you beg me?” Paige was speechless. She gritted her teeth in secret. The man was mean. She listened to him and begged. What more did he want? Did she have to get down on her knees and beg? Paige was tempted to tell him he was free to play the field because she could not care less. After all, she was his wife. All his mistresses could not threaten her position. That was the last thing Paige had the courage to do, though. She bet Chris would be livid if she said that out loud. Keeping eye contact with Chris,

Tanya was lost for words. She was furious. Nothing seemed to get to Paige. Tanya questioned whether Paige was genuinely unconcerned about Shelly or if she was just pretending. Moreover, Paige kept repeating that she trusted her husband. It annoyed Tanya to no end. “Suit yourself,” Tanya said. “Don’t say I never warned you.” Smiling, Paige said, “I know you’re watching out for me. Thank you, Tanya.” Tanya glanced at Paige and gave an indifferent nod. She said nothing else, not wanting to engage in further conversation with Paige.… After dinner, Paige went home. By the time she arrived at the house, Chris was not back yet. Paige had something to ask Chris, so she texted him. [What are you doing? Are you at a business dinner?]She only wanted to know whether he was occupied with a business engagement. However, Chris raised his brow when he received the message, thinking she was probing him. To him, Paige was sounding him out whether he was getting too chummy wit

Annabelle had no words. The answer could not satisfy her curiosity for gossip. She would not be able to complete the task given by Tanya, either. “Is that all?” Annabelle asked skeptically. Paige nodded. “Yep. That was it.” Annabelle inquired, “But the first love is often the most beautiful. It’s when we feel our hearts skip a beat for the first time. What does your husband think about Shelly now?” Paige replied, “He doesn’t have feelings for her. Think about it. No one can control a man like my husband. If he was still interested in Shelly, he would’ve married her instead. No one poses a threat to him.” Annabelle gave it some thought and believed Paige had a point. Chris and Paige were not in the same social circle. Paige would not dare say anything if Chris flirted with other women. Chris and Tanya’s dinner date was a prime example. It was the first time Lisa, Annabelle, and Millie met Chris, having a romantic dinner with Tanya. In normal situations, the wife woul

Chris was so petty. Paige got up and washed up. Chris had returned from his morning exercise when she walked out of the bathroom. He did not even look at her and went into the shower the moment he stepped into the bedroom. Chris showered, dressed, and went downstairs without sparing her a glance. Paige had no words. She went downstairs for breakfast. … It had been a week. A week had passed since Paige had dinner with Sierra and James and Chris had been angry with Paige. Every night for the past week, they slept and woke up on the same bed. They should be the closest person to each other. Yet, they did not have a single exchange in these seven days. Paige wanted to talk to Chris. However, every time she opened her mouth, Chris would either walk away indifferently or close his eyes to avoid listening to her. How was she supposed to communicate with him? What could she say? Nothing could be said. If that was not bad enough, Chris had not touched her for that

Paige enjoyed eating at the street joints. The eateries might not have the best hygiene upkeep in the world. However, the food tasted great. She would swing by for a meal there a few times a week. Chris was speechless. He was against eating there. Chris knew what to expect at these food joints. Nevertheless, he said nothing as he got out of bed and got dressed. Paige cooked for him today, so it was only right he accompanied her to the eateries. The food along the street was probably not the most hygienic. Still, the college kids all turned up fine eating there. The food might not be hygienic, but at least it did not kill anyone. That was what Chris told himself. …There was a crowd on the street at this hour. The college students were not the only patrons of the eateries. The people living nearby and out of the area would dine there. Some people came to satisfy their hunger. Others came to experience the bustle of the street. The street was like a festival,
