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. She even forgot to consider the possibility that one day she would have to go find him. Without caring to change out of her damp clothes, Vivienne went directly to Asher's apartment.

The room was not lit, and it was silent inside, except for the sound she made; there was no other noise. So... he hadn't come back yet? Or should she try going to the M

    Vivienne bit her lip, recalling the words Ezra Donovan whispered in her ear."I... 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. Does Asher really understand love?He had also said that he would fall in love with her, and she must also fall in love with him!Upon introspection, Vivienne knew that she liked Asher, but when it came to love, there was too much uncertainty, to the point where she herself was somewhat confused.Having completed the first draft of the drawings, Vivienne sent the design renderings to Ezra Donovan's email. The sooner she finished the work, the sooner she could terminate the contract.Thinking about the day when he revealed his

    Marcie Jones looked at Ezra Donovan with concern and said, "Ezra, Four Seas Corporation is the lifelong effort of your father and me. 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 listened nearby, feeling shocked. She quickly returned to her own desk and started searching on the computer. In just a moment, she found many news articles

    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?" It was because of her that he, who had been emotionally deprived, learned what those emotions, which were just combinations of words to him, truly meant. 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? Do you love me?" he asked.She knew he alwa

    However, what he did was far more than that! He just couldn't let her know...

The news featured Asher and Scarlett, with the location being the parking lot of Montgo Group.It was a series of paparazzi photos.

    Vivienne could tell that Asher had something on his mind, but he just didn't want to talk about it. It was a rare occurrence because usually, whenever he had something bothering him, he would usually tell her if she asked.So Vivienne said, "Asher, I'm your girlfriend. If you have something bothering you, you can talk to me about it. Even if I can't solve it for you, it's still better than keeping it to yourself.""If there comes a day when I really want to say it, I will tell you," he said. If that day ever came!Since he said that, she didn't press further and changed the subject, "You seem to often wear black and white clothes. Do you have any other colors?"She looked at his clothes. It seemed like she hadn't seen him wear any other color since they reunited."No," he answered flatly."Do you like black and white?""I don't.""Then why don't you buy clothes in other colors?" she asked curiously."Habit." As if those two words were enough to explain.Vivienne remembered that Asher'

    And he, willingly let her manipulate him, playing along with her. I remember once Asher's second brother saw him after Vivienne had dressed him up and went to her, saying, "Vivienne, do you really treat Asher like a toy?"And Asher replied, "I like being Vivi's toy."Toy... Who is really the toy of whom? He had said that he had never treated her like a toy. But what about her? Can she truly adapt to his obsession and dominance?Vivienne thought, her gaze falling on Asher. His figure, coupled with the indifferent expression on his face, really suited him to be a model.The saleswoman who was originally standing next to Vivienne was already a bit dumbfounded. When Asher asked to pay, the saleswoman was still in a daze and asked, "Which ones do you want?""All of them," Asher pointed to the clothes he had just tried on."All of them?" The saleswoman and Vivienne were both stunned.Asher took out his wallet and pulled out a gold card from it.Vivienne hurriedly said, "There's no need to b

If possible, he hoped the child would resemble Viola more.Just as he was thinking about this, the baby suddenly moved, half-opening its eyes and then bursting into wailing cries. Viola, who had been sleeping, woke up because of the baby's crying."Bring the baby to me; she must be hungry, and I want to breastfeed her," Viola said.Only then did Nelson realize that she had woken up.

    The day before Viola's due date, she was admitted to the hospital and underwent various routine checks. On the following day, Viola remained calm and even flipped through magazines before entering the operating room.In contrast, Nelson was visibly more anxious and approached the doctors several times, asking about various possible emergency situations during childbirth, even though they had already explained them to him many times.When Viola was wheeled into the operating room, Nelson's whole body tensed up. 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.

    "I..." Viola hadn't finished her sentence when Nelson's lips pressed against hers, stopping the words that were about to come out. 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. Meanwhile, she kept her eyes open, staring at his face that was now closer than ever before.He deepened the kiss, seeming to release pent-up emotions, indulging and losing himself in the sensation.When he finally ended the kiss, Viola knew she must

    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

    Since the day they parted at the hospital, Nelson withdrew the surveillance around her, and he didn't want to know anything about her. Later, when he tried to find Viola, he couldn't locate her no matter how hard he tried. Until one day, Mort brought news about her. It turned out that Viola had gone to a remote village the next day and had been living there for several months.The car sped along the road. Viola, Viola! Nelson kept repeating her name in his heart.

    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!" He said each word deliberately, like a bolt of thunder striking her mind, shaking her heart.She was stunned, and her heart pounded wildly. Did she make a mistake? Did she make a mistake? "To the end"... he actually said such words. Perhaps she had pushed him to the brink for him to say such ruthless words.
