He stood frozen as if time had stopped, for a long while before slowly lowering his hand. "You're protecting him." It wasn't a question but a statement, a fact that drove him to madness.

"Why?!" For Ezra, she rushed in like that, disregarding the danger of being hit by him.

Vivienne took a deep breath. "I just felt it was unnecessary. It's a misunderstanding, and besides, he's a patient now." She couldn't just stand by and watch one person beat another to near-death.

"A misunderstanding?" He leaned closer, his face pale, almost translucent, devoid of any color. "Because you once wore a ring that you bought together with him, you refuse to wear another ring on your finger. Because of him, you lied to me. And now, because you're afraid of him getting hurt, you ran out to protect him, disregarding the danger. Do you think it's a misunderstanding?"

Their gazes locked, his face inches away from hers, his eyes seemingly devouring her whole.

When the security guard at the entrance saw Asher getting out of the car, his eyes widened in astonishment. The usually cold and aloof CEO, who seemed like a robot, was now dripping wet as he got out of the car.What surprised people even more was that the white suit he was wearing was now clearly gray. There were mud stains all over his clothes, they were wrinkled, and there were torn marks at the cuffs, as if he had been in a fight!Perhaps Asher's current expression was too terrifying, so no one dared to ask what had happened.Asher walked straight to one of the meeting rooms on the 25th floor and pushed open the door.

    Asher's appearance when he left, his words, his gaze, repeated in her mind over and over again. But when she dialed his phone, all she heard was a busy tone. Was his phone not with him, or was he intentionally not answering her call? Vivienne speculated on these two possibilities. If she couldn't reach him on the phone, where could he be? Under normal circumstances, she could call Asher's family or friends to ask! But it wasn't until now that Vivienne realized she didn't have a single phone number of anyone related to Asher in her phone.Every time, he would take the initiative to come to her; she never needed to deliberately seek him out.

I'm actually an illegitimate child."That was Ezra Donovan's secret!Taking a deep breath, she said, "Because he told me something that surprised me, that's why I forgot to push him away.""Just that?""Yes, just that.""So, what did he say?" he pressed.She shook her head. "I can't say." It was Ezra Donovan's private matter, not something she had the right to disclose.Asher's expression changed, and he forcefully pressed Vivienne against the corner of the wall. "You can't say? Why can't you just make up something? Why can't you tell me? What is there that I can't know?!"Her back collided with the wall, causing some pain. But what hurt even more was his current expression, grimacing and pained, like a drowning person struggling desperately to grasp something."Because I don't want to lie to you anymore, so I can't just make something up," Vivienne replied earnestly.He stared at her blankly, his hollo

    While he nestled in her embrace, he couldn't understand why she was apologizing. For him, waiting for her was only natural, no matter how long it took or how hungry and thirsty he became—he would continue waiting...Waiting endlessly...Vivienne took a shower in Asher's apartment, finally relieving herself from the disheveled state. Since she didn't have spare clothes, she had no choice but to temporarily wear his clothes.Asher's shirt reached down to her hips, serving as a makeshift dress for Vivienne. The bathroom mirror was fogged up with steam, appearing hazy and white. Vivienne raised her hand and wiped the mirror, looking at her reflection. At this moment, she didn't know how to face Asher when she stepped out. If she didn't apologize, what else could she say? She pondered over various possibilities and finally walked out of the bathroom.Asher sat on the edge of the bed, still maintaining the same posture as before Vivienne entered the bathroom. It seemed like he was lost in t

    Perhaps it's because he used to be ill, to the extent that even though the doctors declared him cured, he still lacks many of the emotions and feelings that a normal person should have.Take "love" for example, he doesn't really understand it, so whenever he watches romantic dramas with her, he can't comprehend the emotional ups and downs of the characters.But now, he's telling her that he loves her?!Due to the shock, Vivienne felt dazed for the next few days.

This acquisition of GK by Four Seas must not have any mishaps, no matter what!" "I know," Ezra Donovan replied with a faint smile. "Mother, you don't have to worry. The acquisition of GK by Four Seas Corporation will definitely succeed." "That's good. Your father will be pleased," Marcie Jones nodded. Pleased? Ezra Donovan lowered his gaze, hiding the hint of mockery in his eyes in the shadows... "Four Seas Corporation competing with Montgo Group!" "Which side do you think will succeed in the acquisition? Or will both sides fail in the end?" "Didn't you see that many people are already analyzing it online?" Several female colleagues gathered around a computer, discussing the matter.

    Vivienne bit her lip and turned her body to face Asher. She raised her head and looked at him, asking, "Do you really love me?""Yes," he answered without hesitation. "I've been in so much pain that I wished for death. When I open my eyes, I think of you, and when I close them, I think of you. You made me understand what anger and jealousy are, and what it means to be unable to let go. Even though you caused me so much pain, I still can't bear the thought of not seeing you, of you leaving me..."He spoke calmly, as if he was just stating a simple fact."Vivi, if this isn't love, then tell me, what is it?"

Emotions he might never have experienced in his life, but had gone through and tried because of her.Vivienne was stunned. So he did love her. She shouldn't doubt anymore!"What about you?

He stood outside the room, staring at the closed door as if he were a statue.Anyone could see how nervous he was, and as time passed, Nelson's complexion grew paler.Viola was considered an older mother, and despite the best doctors that the Montgo family had arranged and even with a caesarean section, there were still risks.Sebastian noticed Nelson's anxious state and gently patted his shoulder.

His tongue swiftly entered her mouth, stirring her saliva, and he took her tongue into his mouth, biting it as if venting all his frustrations.Though her tongue wasn't bleeding, it hurt terribly, and her lips also throbbed with pain from the pressure of his lips. She tried to push him away, but his hands easily restrained her wrists."Mmm... Hmm..." Viola initially struggled, but she didn't dare to move too much, afraid of hurting the child in her belly. Giving up on resisting, she allowed Nelson to kiss her.He kissed her with his eyes closed, his long, thick eyelashes casting a heavy shadow on his eyelids.

    When Viola returned to the Montgo mansion, Sebastian looked at her with a look of disbelief as she stood there with a big belly. Before leaving, Viola had told her family that she was sent to work in another city by the hospital, and her family didn't suspect anything. They just advised her to take care of herself while outside."How many months pregnant are you?" Sebastian's voice sounded."Almost 8 months," Viola replied honestly."How is your health? You're a doctor yourself, so you should know the risks of having a child at this age," Sebastian worriedly asked. After the shock, his main concern now was his sister's well-being."I know, but there shouldn't be any major problems if it's a cesarean section," Viola said. For women like her who have never given birth before, a cesarean section would be more suitable than a natural birth."Why didn't you stay at home?" Sebastian asked."Because I wanted to clear my mind and quietly find a place to give birth," without getting entangled

    Nelson suddenly laughed, his laughter was cold, each laugh feeling like a chilling cold wind blowing across his cheeks.After a moment, his laughter ceased, and he stared straight at her, his voice icy to the extreme, "No regrets! I, Nelson, believe that I can do anything for you, but there's one thing I can't do. Viola, it's not up to you to decide when it's over! It may be over for you, but for me, it's not over yet!""What do you want to do?" His gaze and tone made her feel uneasy."Viola, unless you die, I'll follow you to the end, no matter what!"
