In reality, it was Vivienne who went to see Ezra first. After all, she had been worried every day that Ezra might release those photos. The initiative was now in Ezra's hands, and Vivienne could only passively accept the situation.

When she saw Ezra, Vivienne took a deep breath, organizing the words she wanted to say in her mind. However, Ezra seemed relaxed and unhurried, calmly brewing tea and smiling at Vivienne. "Take a seat for a while. The tea will be ready soon. It's excellent tea; you should taste it."

Vivienne had no desire to drink tea at the moment, but since Ezra offered, she sat down anyway.

She realized that she seemed to have a special connection with this tea shop. Even after breaking up, she had come here to find Ezra on several occasions.

Ezra's tea-brewing technique was standard and elegant. Though she had seen it many times before, she still found his graceful movements captivating.

Once the tea was ready, Ezra handed her a cup. Instead of drinking it, she placed i

    Vivienne's body stiffened as she reluctantly followed Ezra into the car. His words seemed to imply that their wedding with Asher might be postponed, and that he could eventually get what he wanted.In a dark corner not far away, a woman dressed in an ordinary black trench coat, wearing a hat and almost completely covering her face with a scarf, was cautiously holding a phone and recording the scene in front of her.No one noticed that this woman was none other than Scarlett, the subject of recent gossip magazines.Since breaking up with her wealthy boyfriend, Scarlett had lost many business deals and was now facing financial difficulties. Each piece of news was enough to fuel discussions for a long time. There were even suggestions that Scarlett might resort to acting in adult films to solve her current predicament, and she faced various mocking and ridicule.Scarlett watched the recording on her phone with a mixture of bitterness, amusement, and tears. These days, she felt as if she

    After ending the call, Vivienne continued to ponder what reason she should use to talk to Asher. Should she mention the premarital jitters Julian mentioned, or should she say she wants to study abroad for a year? Or maybe she could suggest waiting until the new house is fully furnished before getting married? However, no matter which reason she considered, they all seemed somewhat forced. When Asher returned, Vivienne was still lost in her thoughts until he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, bringing her back to the present moment. "What are you thinking about?" he whispered, his warm breath brushing against her ear. "Nothing," she slightly tensed her neck and glanced at the only dish already prepared in the kitchen, while the other ingredients were waiting to be cooked. "We are having Chinese today. Could you wait outside for a moment? It won't take long." "Alright," he responded, but his hands didn't let go of her waist. "What's wrong?" she turned her head in confusio

    But her silence only intensified the darkness in his eyes. He firmly grasped her jaw, still bleeding from the cut, "Vivi, there's no way the wedding will be delayed. If you still want to be with Ezra, it's best to dismiss that idea right now and never think about it again!"The smell of blood wafted around her, and Vivienne struggled and twisted, "Asher, your hand is bleeding, let me stop the bleeding first..."His deep, hollow eyes fixed on her, "Do you still care about me?""You are the person I love, of course, I care about you," she answered, feeling the pungent scent of blood getting stronger. Did he bleed even more now?"Then why did you meet Ezra? Why do you suddenly want to postpone the wedding?" he asked.She was at a loss for words. She couldn't answer any of his two questions."Vivi, don't bother explaining. I won't agree, no matter how many excuses you come up with!" He abruptly lowered his head and bit her lip, muffling any cries of pain. He sucked and nibbled on her lips

    Vivienne's heart sank when Alma told her that Asher had taken away all communication devices, including her phone. She searched her bag but couldn't find it. Even in the apartment, there was no sign of a telephone.The realization hit her that this was likely Asher's plan. Alma confirmed her suspicion, "Mr. Montgo has put away all communication tools.""Can you lend me your phone? I want to make a call to Asher," Vivienne requested."Sorry, Miss Sullivan," Alma replied.Vivienne bit her lip but didn't blame Alma. She knew Alma was just following orders, and there was nothing Alma could do about it.Back in the bedroom, Vivienne lay weakly on the bed. In just a few days, her relationship with Asher had deteriorated so drastically. Happiness felt like walking on thin ice, ready to break and plunge her into an icy abyss at any moment.Asher... Asher! She thought about his appearance when he angrily threw her phone yesterday, and her heart ached. He must have known that she was with Ezra

    Fear... he had always been afraid. Asher's body trembled slightly, in the same embrace he had with his aunt ten years ago, when she kept urging him to hold on, to endure for Vivi. "Aunt, if Vivi finds out about my past... will she think I'm dirty? Will she reject me?" Or perhaps she would choose a cleaner man?Viola Montgo's heart skipped a beat, feeling a heavy weight in her chest. "No, if Vivienne truly loves you, she won't despise you. Besides, back then, it was all for her! If you're afraid, shall I tell her everything?"Instead of hiding and concealing, Viola Montgo understood that only Vivienne could truly help Asher untangle his heart. But when she mentioned this, his body, which had been trembling ever so slightly, began to shake more violently."Asher!" Viola Montgo called out.Asher's fingers tightly gripped Viola Montgo's wrist. His fingers trembled intensely, gripping her wrist so tightly that his fingertips almost broke the skin.Viola Montgo endured the pain, watching As

    He still kept his head down, silent like a wooden puppet, allowing her to hold his hand and keep asking questions.Vivienne talked for a long time, but there was no response from Asher. So she simply got out of bed, quickly put on a coat, tied her hair in a messy bun with a hair tie, and then grabbed his wrist, trying to lead him out of the bedroom. However, it seemed as if his feet were rooted in place, motionless.Vivienne sighed, then returned to Asher and said, "The wounds on your hand must be treated at the hospital. Otherwise, those splinters will remain in your flesh and cause pain and potential infection.""It doesn't matter." His voice was faint, as if he was telling her that even if his hand became useless, it wouldn't matter."To you, it may not matter, but to me, it's important!" she insisted. "Even if you dislike hospitals, you must go."His eyelashes lifted slightly, and his dark gaze finally met hers. "Vivi, even if my hand hurts or gets infected, I won't let you leave

    Outside the car, it was a quiet street, but inside, silence filled the air. Asher kept his head down, his gaze fixed on the palm of his right hand, as if lost in thought.The car continued until it reached the entrance of the hospital. Vivienne spoke, "Let's get off." As she unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to open the car door, she noticed that Asher was still sitting there, unmoving.Vivienne leaned closer to Asher and reached out to unbuckle his seatbelt.His body trembled slightly, and he turned his head to look at her."Let's get off; we're at the hospital now," she said again.He pursed his lips and followed her out of the car. She took a few steps, but then suddenly seemed to remember something. She sighed, walked back to him, and held his left hand."I will hold your hand and stay by your side. I won't go anywhere," Vivienne said, her voice soft, drifting in the night breeze."Really?" he murmured, asking.She shook the hand they were holding together. "Then you can also h

    Only she could suppress his pain!His sudden action left Vivienne stunned, and the nurse on the side let out a surprised cry, clearly not expecting such an intimate move from the man.The doctor who was removing the splinter felt even more conflicted. The man who had scared her a moment ago now showed such affection to another woman.And that woman, in the doctor's eyes, seemed completely ordinary, nothing special at all, just like an average person you'd find on the street.But now, the doctor dared not say anything. She removed all the remaining splinters from his palm and prescribed the necessary medication on the medical card.When everything was done, the doctor felt a layer of cold sweat on her back. Only when she saw the two of them leaving the outpatient room did she finally relax.The nurse suddenly recalled something and said, "Dr. Lee, don't you think that man seemed a bit familiar just now?"Familiar?

    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

    "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. 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.

    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
