He silently watched her, and in his pitch-black pupils, there was nothing but her sleeping face. As if unable to resist, he slowly bent down, bringing his face closer to hers. His nose almost greedily sniffed her scent, and his lips were about to touch hers.

Just a little closer, and he could feel that warmth, but this seemingly short distance felt so distant.

His gaze deepened, and he straightened his back, sitting down on a nearby single sofa by the one she was lying on. With his back against the chair, his clear and refined face looked indifferent in the light, while those beautiful yet hollow eyes kept staring at the sleeping figure, as if they wanted to watch her for a lifetime.

Vivienne felt as if she had slept for a long time, and she had a strange feeling that someone was watching her. It was a focused, intense gaze, as if it was solely fixed on her, excluding everything else. That gaze felt so familiar...

She drowsily opened her slightly sleepy eyes, and what came into view w

    Chapter 265: What If I Don't Want To?"What if I don't want to?" he asked in return, his face still expressionless.She was taken aback. If he didn't want to, then her mother... Thinking of her mother lying on the hospital bed and the words the director said to her, Vivienne suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart."Does it hurt?" His voice rang out again, the second time today he asked her if she was in pain.Yes, it hurt! Her eyes became red, and she looked into his deep gaze. He was always able to remain indifferent to anything and everyone, except... her. But now...His hand moved to the lower left side of her chest, his palm pressing against her heart through her clothes. "I really want to know how much pain you're feeling right now," he said softly. He had grown up with her, and he knew better than anyone how important her mother was to her. He had been jealous countless times, wondering why her mother was the one she cared about the most, not him.Her eyes became even more tear

    "Yes," she replied, her tearful eyes gazing at him with unwavering certainty. No matter the price, as long as it could save her mother, she was willing to pay it.Her long eyelashes slightly lowered, covering the gleam in his eyes. "If it wasn't your mother who had an accident today, but me, would you still be willing to pay any price?" she asked.She hesitated for a moment. When she asked this question, he still wore an expressionless face, and she couldn't discern the emotions in his eyes, whether they were hollow or held some glimmer of light."I..." She began to speak, but he interrupted her."Even if it's a lie, you can say it. I'll believe you," he said in a low voice. His pride, his self-esteem, were once again laid at her feet, giving her the opportunity to deceive him. As long as she said it, as long as she lied, he was willing to believe that lie.Vivienne pulled away the finger touching her lips and said, "I don't want to lie." She could clearly feel his finger stiffen in t

    When Vivienne returned to Julian's dormitory, she still couldn't believe that Asher had actually agreed, and the condition was to proceed with the wedding as planned.It felt as if nothing had happened; she and Asher would still walk down the aisle on that day, and no one around them would know about the changes that had occurred in these few short days. But she knew deep down that her feelings at this moment were completely different from what they were originally. Although she and Asher loved each other, why did she still have the urge to cry?Seeing Vivienne with red eyes, Julian immediately asked anxiously, "Vivienne, what's wrong? Weren't you supposed to go see your mother? Why are you back after only two days... Did the doctor say something? Nowadays, medical technology is so advanced. If one hospital doesn't work, you can always try another one. Come on, talk to me!"Julian was almost driven to desperation, but fortunately, Vivienne sniffed and said, "Julian, my mother's condit

    Vivienne returned to the apartment from Julian's dormitory, and life with Asher seemed to revert to how it was before. He went to work, came back, and she stayed at home preparing for the wedding, cooking dinner for him.However, the warmth that once filled the room now felt cold. Was it really okay to get married like this? How much trust remained between them now? Yet, she no longer had any objections to the wedding date.Soaking her body in warm water, Vivienne half-closed her eyes and rested in the bathtub. Today, she did almost nothing in the apartment, but strangely, she felt tired in the evening. Perhaps, the exhaustion was not physical but rather mental.Just as Vivienne was drifting off to sleep, a slight click sound came, and the bathroom door was pushed open. Asher rushed in and, upon seeing Vivienne, froze in his tracks. Then, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief and stood there silently."What's wrong?" Vivienne was startled, instinctively shrinking back and burying hers

    When Vivienne walked out of the bathroom, she saw Asher lying on her bed, curled up as if he were asleep."Asher?" Vivienne walked to the bed and called softly, but he didn't respond.Her gaze fell on his damp clothes. If he wore this wet outfit all night, he might catch a cold tomorrow.Carefully, she helped him remove his wet clothes and covered him with the blanket. Then she lay down next to him.She watched him sleep, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as if he was troubled by something. What was bothering him? Vivienne wondered, raising her right hand and lightly touching his forehead with her index finger.It was just a gentle touch, like a dragonfly touching the water, with no force applied. However, his eyes slowly opened, and his gaze met hers. Vivienne froze, her finger still suspended in the air."Awake?" she asked awkwardly, wanting to retract her finger, but he had already grabbed her hand, holding it in his palm."Tomorrow, we'll have the final wedding dress fitting and make

    She was in such a miserable state, so why should Vivienne be allowed to become a happy bride? Scarlett thought bitterly. If Vivienne had not appeared before her again, she and Ezra would still be in a good relationship, and the secret between her and Asher would not have been revealed to Ezra, and he wouldn't have taken drastic measures against her!It's all Vivienne's fault! She clearly loved Asher, so why did she have to entangle herself with other men?The more Scarlett thought about it, the more she hated it. These days, the news was full of negative reports about her, and even the mediocre actresses she used to look down upon took the opportunity to mock and ridicule her.Her savings had been drained, and at this time, her stepfather even accumulated a large amount of gambling debt. When her mother called asking for money to pay off the debt, Scarlett didn't have any money left.When she told her mother she had no money, her mother actually said, "Since you've broken up with Ezra

    Harry's girlfriend Tina came along to witness the Montgo family's wedding. However, when she saw Asher, Tina was taken aback. Could a man like him really be her relative in the future?!In Tina's opinion, Vivienne was plain-looking, and her family background was quite ordinary, not even comparable to her own. She couldn't fathom how Vivienne managed to marry into a wealthy family like the Montgos. But what puzzled Tina even more was Asher's behavior. He stood next to Vivienne, expressionless, never initiating conversations or even giving a smile to others."He seems a bit strange. I hardly ever see him say anything," Tina quietly asked Harry, feeling puzzled."That's how he's always been," Harry shrugged. He was somewhat familiar with Asher since they knew each other from childhood. Whenever he visited his cousin's house, he would often see Asher following his cousin quietly like a doll. Even if Harry tried to play with Asher, he would completely ignore him, responding only when his c

    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
