"Is this where you usually stay?" Vivienne asked, realizing that this place was probably just his solitary dwelling. "Yeah," Asher replied, "but I also go back to the ancestral home once a week." "Don't you watch TV normally?" she curiously asked. He nodded. "So, what do you do when you're free?" "Zone out," he said. Vivienne paused for a moment, "Just zone out?" Asher nodded again, seemingly considering this answer to be perfectly normal for him. Despite being the CEO of a corporation, he lacked any interest in anything. Earning money, to him, was merely a mechanical motion, a way to pass the time until he could be with her. If he had free time, he preferred to stay still, reminiscing about the moments he spent with her. Vivienne's heart suddenly felt a tinge of bitterness. Even though Asher had been diagnosed as essentially cured when he was thirteen, able to live, work, and study like a normal person, he was still somewhat different compared to ordinary individuals. And th

The cashier dared not speak again and quickly found change for Vivienne.Asher pulled Vivienne out of the pharmacy. He was tall with long legs, walking briskly, and she almost stumbled as she hurriedly jogged to keep up with his pace."Don't walk so fast, slow down!" she couldn't help but shout.But he didn't stop, he kept walking.It wasn't until her foot tripped on a stone on the ground that he finally stopped, catching her body and preventing her from falling.She regained her balance and looked up at him. His expression still seemed cold and icy, and even though she was slow to catch on, she could tell he was angry."Who is your boyfriend?" he abruptly asked."What?" she was taken aback, but she saw him take another step forward, getting closer to her, bending down to stare at her. "Who is your boyfriend?" he repeated, his voice icy cold.His eyes, deep and beautiful, with pitch-black pupils, were like ancient wells with no bottom, easy to get lost in once you stared into them."I

As they returned to the apartment with the pizza, Asher still hadn't said a word. Vivienne took out the ointment and walked over to Asher. "Sit on the couch, I'll apply the ointment for you."After glancing at her for a moment, he sat on the nearby couch. She took his hand and said, "Tilt your face slightly upward." It was inconvenient to apply the ointment with his head lowered.He lifted his chin slightly, revealing his slender neck and dark eyes, which showed no particular expression. On his fair face, there were several alarming red marks.With her fingertip coated in ointment, she gently applied it to his face. Finally, she brushed aside the hair on his forehead to check if there were any injuries there.He was like a silent doll, not uttering a word throughout the process, just quietly watching her.After finishing applying the ointment to his face, she asked, "What about your body? Did you get hurt anywhere?" She had no idea if he had any injuries on his body because he was wea

It wasn't until Vivienne reached the sixth grade that their shared sleeping arrangement ended, after she experienced her first period. At that time, they had a big fight over it."Yes!" she said, "If you have an injury, I can help apply medication, but it doesn't mean I can undress you or freely look at your body.""What if I say you can?" he asked, sounding somewhat desperate."Even then, it's not allowed," she refused.On his beautiful face, there was a hint of hurt. Suddenly, he raised his hand and began unbuttoning his shirt, one button at a time.Vivienne widened her eyes. What was he doing? Undressing?Time seemed to stand still as she stared blankly at him unbuttoning his shirt, undoing all the buttons and revealing his bare chest.Under the light, it appeared flawlessly fair. Unlike his childhood and adolescent bodies, his physique now embodied that of a mature man, with well-defined abdominal muscles emanating a subtle sense of intimidation."Does that mean I have to become y

"Asher, let me get up first so I can see where you hit yourself," she shouted. "Vivi," he tightly pressed her face against his heart, as if wanting her to fully hear his heartfelt words, "Can't I be your boyfriend? I like you, really like you, more than anyone else in this world. I will definitely fall in love with you, and I'll give you all the love you desire." He wanted her acknowledgment, he wanted her to stop resisting him, and he wanted her willingly. She wanted to push him away, but when her fingers touched his skin, she hesitated involuntarily. A indescribable emotion spread in her chest. Was it reluctance? Sympathy? Or anguish? Even she couldn't explain it. Perhaps, as he said, his fondness for her surpassed anyone else in this world. But... "Can't I?" The cold and clear voice pierced into her ears like steel wires, penetrating her eardrums and tingling her nerves. And she couldn't utter a single word. After Declan finished reporting on the recruitment matters and place

The man rumored to be aloof and indifferent, a man who showed no interest in women, but anyone could understand the possessive and focused gaze he had when looking at Vivienne. So, was that man determined to have Vivienne?Subconsciously rotating the ring on his left hand, Ezra lowered his gaze, fixating on the smile of the girl in the photo. Her delicate face couldn't compare to the dazzling women surrounding him, yet that smile had poisoned him, haunting his thoughts even three years later."Vivienne," he softly uttered, as if speaking to her in the photo, or perhaps murmuring to himself, "Tell me, how can I forget you? Should I obtain you or destroy you?" If he couldn't have her, then he would destroy her. That had always been his belief, but an unexplained pain pricked at his chest.Faintly, gradually, it deepened, responding to him in the still air.Raising his hand, Ezra closed his eyes, lightly pressing his lips against the cold ring, indulging in its presence.For Vivienne, As

Julian readily admitted, then continued, "But you know, with celebrities, it's better to admire them from a distance. Sometimes, distance adds to the charm. Especially in the entertainment industry, it's a big whirlpool, and getting too close to these stars might lead to disappointment." Vivienne thought her friend, who could be considered a typical fan, was unusually clear-headed and calm. "Julian, have you ever genuinely liked someone, romantically, I mean?" Julian blinked in surprise, not expecting her best friend to suddenly ask such a question. "No," she replied. In her memory, the closest she came to having a crush was in the second grade when she wrote a love letter to a boy who had lots of snacks at home. But because of all the spelling mistakes in the letter, he circled each one and returned it to her. So, Julian's infatuation never had the chance to turn into a first love and ended before it even began. "What about you? Have you ever liked someone?" Julian asked in retur

The man referred to as Sharon seemed visibly angry. Fueled by alcohol, he forcefully shook off Caelan's hand and said, "Her? I want to see what Asher would do to make me regret it if I really laid a hand on her. Am I supposed to end up in the hospital like Gary?"Sharon shouted and swung his fist towards Vivienne. Despite Vivienne's efforts to remain calm, being held by the collar and the inherent physical differences between men and women left her with no escape. Just as Sharon's fist was about to connect, his head was suddenly held tightly by a hand, and the next moment, his body was kicked away with force.In the blink of an eye, when Vivienne regained her senses, she saw the man who intended to hit her already sprawled on the ground. Asher's foot was pressing down on the hand that had thrown the punch, and his usually clear and handsome face was now covered in a shadow.Lily took the opportunity to run to Vivienne's side and asked, "Are you okay? Did anything happen?" When she wit

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.

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. 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.

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
