CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 157: If I Wasn't Born
During Moira's recovery at home, Hank's family visited twice, each time for Harry's job-related matters. They wanted Vivienne to ask Asher to arrange for Harry to become a manager at Montgo Group."Vivienne, no matter what, you have to agree to Auntie's request. My friends and our relatives all think Harry is already a manager. Even Harry's girlfriend was told that his future brother-in-law is Asher, and he's going to work at Montgo Group with him. If Harry doesn't become a manager, how will they see him?" Rosie pleaded with a smile."Auntie, I've already told you that Harry doesn't have the ability to become a manager at Montgo Group. Besides, didn't Harry say he's getting married to his girlfriend? If their relationship ends just because he can't become a manager, then it's better off without such a relationship," Vivienne replied firmly, refusing to give in.Rosie grew anxious and despite her many attempts at persuasion, she couldn't change Vivienne's mind. Frustrated, she burst ou

However, before she could finish her sentence, Asher interrupted her. "If that were the case, then that person wouldn't be you!""What?" Vivienne was taken aback."If your mother didn't give birth to you, then no matter who she gave birth to afterwards, that person wouldn't be you," Asher said firmly, looking directly at Vivienne. "In that case, I would never have met you, and we would never be together."Perhaps until now, he would still be living in a world with only himself, surrounded by emptiness and darkness. Boundless... never able to see the other side, always cold and devoid of any warmth.Vivienne gazed at Asher's face, which was just inches away from hers. She watched his lips move as he said, "Vivi, don't you want to meet me?"If it were in the past, she would have wished she had never met Asher, but now Vivienne shook her head and said, "No, I want to meet you."Yes, she wanted to meet him. Despite their past arguments and heartaches, despite her fears, anxieties, and dis
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 159: Have We Met Before?
Vivienne pondered. After all, Ezra Donovan's words and actions were too strange that night, as if he had been deeply affected by something, constantly searching for an answer.What answer was he looking for? Vivienne thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile. Why bother speculating? Regardless of what answer Ezra Donovan sought, it had nothing to do with her.She and him were merely employer and employee now, nothing more!However, when it was time to leave work, Vivienne found that distancing herself from Ezra Donovan was more difficult than she had imagined.A black Bentley stopped in front of the company building. As soon as Ezra saw Vivienne stepping out of the building, he opened the car door and approached her. "Let's find a place to talk," he said."No, I have plans today and need to go home early," Vivienne replied.Ezra Donovan's eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you have plans with Asher Montgo?""Yes," she admitted frankly, bypassing him and heading towards the bus stop.E
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 160: Conditions for Resignation
"Do you really want to go back and see Asher so urgently?" Ezra asked, sipping his cola."Yes, what's wrong with that? He's my boyfriend, and I'm eager to see him," Vivienne replied.Ezra's gaze slightly darkened. "Are you living together with him?"Vivienne was taken aback. Not many people knew about her living situation with Asher, so did Ezra investigate her? She immediately showed a defensive look in her eyes.But it seemed that Ezra wasn't interested in hearing her answer. He suddenly changed the topic. "Let's follow the sketch in your sketchbook for the villa's interior design."Vivienne was surprised. "But that's just a sketch, not an official rendering. And there are many areas I didn't draw." Her sketch only included the living room, bedroom, playroom, and kitchen. She didn't draw details like staircases, hallways, guest rooms, and more."It doesn't matter. You can design the areas that were not drawn according to your own ideas, as long as the things in your sketch remain un

Vivienne felt a bit speechless. Asher's expression was calm, his tone was subdued, but his single word "yes" felt like a heavy brick pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe."If I do have to leave for some time, you must eat properly. If I come back and find you barely hanging on, do you think I would be happy?" Vivienne said.Asher looked at her intensely. "If you leave, will you come back?""Of course! I'm not planning to break up with you. Why wouldn't I come back? For example, if I have to travel for work, or go back to accompany my mom for a hospital check-up, or if Julian and I plan to go on a trip... There could be occasions where I have to be away for a few days!" Vivienne listed various possibilities, assuring him that she wouldn't leave or return late without a valid reason. After a long pause, Asher finally replied, "I understand."Vivienne breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she could still reason with him. Turning around, she continued washing the dishes
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 162: I Love You, So You Don't Have to Feel Insecure
Could it be possible? The words he had been longing to hear, the words he wanted to hear so much, she said them to him at this moment, in this way."You... say it again," his lips trembled lightly, and his fingers tightly held hers. The indifferent expression on his face was now filled with a sense of nervousness.He was nervous, anxious about the words she was about to say. He feared that what he heard before was just his imagination, his desperate longing to hear those words, and not something he truly heard."I love you!" Vivienne took a deep breath and repeated, her face slightly blushing. Though she felt a bit embarrassed, she said it again, "You don't have to worry or feel insecure. Apart from you, I won't be with any other man."His Adam's apple moved, and the nervousness in his eyes transformed into pure joy. A bright smile appeared on his clear and refined face, as if it were a simple happiness, solely because of her words. And she was intoxicated by his smile.Julian asked V

"Maybe she thinks the acquisition is more harmful than beneficial for Montgo Group," Asher explained. However, Vivienne found his explanation somewhat forced. But apart from that explanation, Vivienne couldn't think of any other possibility."Is Four Seas Corporation in a bad situation recently?" she asked again."It's probably not doing well," he replied. "Are you worried about Four Seas Corporation?" Or perhaps she was worried about another man?"I was just asking because Julian happens to work at Four Seas. We talked about it when we met today," Vivienne replied, suddenly remembering something. "I heard that Four Seas Corporation's stocks have been heavily acquired recently. Did you do that?""Yes, I did," Asher admitted straightforwardly."Are you trying to merge with Four Seas Corporation?" Vivienne, with her business acumen, could only think of that possibility."If I say I want to, what would you do?" Asher countered, his dark gaze fixed on Vivienne, observing her reaction.She
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 164: Date at the Amusement Park
To Scarlett's surprise, she ran into Vivienne while looking for Asher. At the sight of Vivienne's face, it reminded her of a few days ago when she went to see Ezra, and he stared at her face, suddenly laughing and asking, "Who are you, really?!"And she, foolishly not understanding, smiled and said, "Of course, I'm your girlfriend.""Who are you, really?" he repeated the question, and the smile on his lips grew even more intense. "Are you really the person I've been looking for?""Of course," she tried to maintain a calm demeanor, but internally she was trembling because of his words. Why was he asking like this? Did he discover something? Or perhaps he didn't believe the explanation about Vivienne and those drawings from before?"Then say again what you said to me back then, when you were drawing in the sandbox and talking to me. Say it again, completely and in its entirety," he said."What do you mean? Don't you believe me?" She could only shout to cover up her inner guilt.But he j

When Sheila Montgo's baby was born, Asher felt a little disappointed because the child's appearance showed no resemblance to her mother.In Asher's daydreams, he hoped his daughter would look more like Vivienne. However, being a newborn, with wrinkled skin and all, she simply looked like a little monkey.As Sheila grew day by day, her facial features became more distinct, and she started to resemble Asher more and more.

CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 328: My Dependence on Fate Has Appeared
Compared to the newborn baby, Nelson was more concerned about Viola. After she was brought back to her hospital room, he never left her side. After the baby was cleaned up, it was brought to the bedside, lying next to Viola.The little baby closed its eyes. Was this his and Viola's child? A rush of tenderness surged in Nelson's heart. Would the child resemble him or Viola? 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. Following her instructions, he stiffly picked up the baby. In that moment of holding the soft little body, he felt an indescribable sensation.Viola couldn't sit up at the moment, so she needed to lie down to breastfeed the baby. Nelson

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. "Don't worry, Viola and the baby will be fine."But Nelson remained motionless, h
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 326: Marry Me
"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
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 324: The Child Was Still Here!
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. She was so close, only two hours away... no, an hour and a half, and he could see her!He had so many words he wanted to say to her. He wanted to tell her not to try to avoid him, that he could endure her disgust, her indifference, and even her love for her Dependence on Fate. But... he couldn't endure not seeing her!Ten years ago, when she disappeared from his world, even though he aged overnight, he could wait for her to come back. But now, after she vanished, he had lost even the patience to wait.He couldn't endure it li
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 323: All Hopes Have Been Extinguished
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. Or should she say that she had extinguished all of his hopes?Before she could speak, Nelson had already turned around and left the
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 322: Abortion Surgery
In the obstetrics and gynecology operating room, he ran as if he had gone mad, his handsome face showing anxiety, unease, and panic.If those who knew Nelson were to see him in this state, they would undoubtedly be shocked. The composed and calm man would reveal such an expression!The light was on at the entrance of the operating room, but among the crowd waiting outside, he didn't see that familiar figure.Is she inside the operating room? His heart clenched tightly, feeling the intensifying unease.Nelson rushed toward the operating room, and the nurse at the door tried to stop him, "Sir, there's a surgery in progress, you can't just go in like this!""Get out of my way!" He coldly retorted, pushing the nurse aside. The fierce aura emanating from him made the nurse dumbfounded. Though he was undeniably handsome, he looked more like a ferocious demon at that moment.Nelson charged toward the operating room again, and this time, the other nurses and attendants reacted. They bravely s
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 321: Pregnancy

And now, she had tested with more than one kit, and they all showed that she was pregnant.Viola was usually calm and composed, even when dealing with family matters that made her anxious and worried, she could still make quick judgments.
