CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 273: Only Fall in Love with One Person
His smile was like a blooming flower in an icy snowfield, captivating everyone's attention, so beautiful, so precious.Julian was reminded of the time when Vivienne had mentioned Asher's smile to her before. She had been curious back then. How could a man like Asher, so indifferent and aloof, be described as "beautiful" when he smiled?But now, seeing Charles smile, she suddenly understood why Vivienne wished to see Asher's smile more often. The sincere smile of the Montgo family members was something to be cherished.After a while, Julian came back to her senses. "You smile... It looks good, but it seems like you rarely smile.""Do you know me well?" Charles squinted slightly."I've only seen some photos of you online, candid shots taken by netizens. Your expression always appears quite serious," Julian said. As she spoke, she felt more and more embarrassed, especially because she was saying this in front of him. It felt strange to admit that she had searched for information about hi

Julian's mind was still in a mess even after getting out of the luxury car. Charles had indeed come to see her, as he had said."Get some rest. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning," Charles said as he walked her to the dormitory gate."No need, Vivienne has already arranged for a driver to come and pick me up tomorrow," Julian waved her hand."Wait for me tomorrow morning, understood?" He said without giving her any room to negotiate, then lightly patted her head.Julian felt awkward, was this an order? But his action also made her feel like he was treating her like a pet. Of course, comparing herself to a pet felt inappropriate!However, Charles had an aura of a leader when he spoke, making people naturally want to obey. Julian didn't argue and just accepted it.As Charles drove away, Julian touched her head, feeling the warmth from his hand still lingering there.Back in the dorm room, Sadie immediately started questioning, "Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Charles?"T

As Viola's words fell, she suddenly felt Asher's body, which she was holding, tremble violently. Then, he forcefully pushed her away."Asher?" Viola's face was full of astonishment as she saw the man in a white suit standing with one hand supporting himself on the sofa and the other tightly clutching his shoulder, almost tearing the fabric of his suit.His expression seemed as if he was about to vomit, but nothing came out. Was he repulsed by hugs?Viola glanced at her own hands, then recalled the scene when she hugged him just now. For Asher, physical contact often seemed like something he had to endure passively. It was as if he was a wooden doll that could be held by anyone without any reaction.But now, he seemed to show obvious disgust. And this disgust felt like an instinctive reaction.Before... "Asher, are you..." Viola murmured, but her words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything more.Struggling to catch his breath, Asher slowly recovered and said, "I'm fine
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 276: The Wedding
The onlookers seemed a bit surprised that the couple was whispering to each other during the wedding ceremony, but after a moment, Asher took Vivienne's hand and stood before the priest.The priest's voice echoed in the church, "Mr. Montgo, do you vow to love and cherish Ms. Sullivan, in good times and bad, in wealth and poverty, in health and sickness, in joy and sorrow, until eternity?""I do," Asher's voice had no trace of hesitation."Ms. Sullivan, do you vow to love and cherish Mr. Montgo, in good times and bad, in wealth and poverty, in health and sickness, in joy and sorrow, until eternity?""I..." Vivienne's mind flashed with scenes from the past—him and her making a ten-year promise, their reunion, the moment when he stopped her from saying 'Ha!' while choking her neck, and... the night she went to ask him for help, and he held her tightly at the elevator and said, "As long as you're willing to say 'I do' in front of the priest, I'll agree to your request."She hesitated for

"What's going on between you and Charles now?" Vivienne couldn't help but think about it. For instance, this morning, the Montgo family's driver was supposed to pick up Julian, but Charles insisted on going to pick him up early in the morning.If Vivienne didn't believe that Charles had feelings for Julian, she would never believe it. But if she had to say Charles had fallen in love with Julian, she still felt that Charles was not the kind of man who would fall in love with a woman in such a short time."Um, I'm still confused about it," Julian replied. To be honest, she herself hadn't figured it out yet.Vivienne felt worried because she didn't know what Charles's intentions were with Julian.On the other hand, Julian nonchalantly said, "Oh, don't worry about it. I'm just an ordinary person. If Charles really wants something, he won't find it in me.""But..." Vivienne wanted to say something more."Hey, focus on being the bride! Today, all you should think about is you and Asher," Ju

"What's wrong?" Charles raised an eyebrow slightly."Why did you drink so much alcohol for me?" Julian couldn't help asking."You said your alcohol tolerance is not good," he replied.Just because of that, he drank one glass after another for her? Julian stared at Charles, "Is your alcohol tolerance very good then?" she asked."Better than yours overall," he replied, and unusually, he smiled faintly at her, a shallow but stunning smile. He reached out and grabbed the hand she used to pull his sleeve, bringing it close to his lips, "Today, you don't need to worry. I'll protect you from everything, but..." He paused, his lips gently brushing against her hand, "don't look at other men too much, and don't get too close to them. I don't like it."He couldn't help but pay attention to everything she did, and naturally, he noticed that tonight she was frequently looking at Timothy and seemed to be getting along well with Caelan.A sense of discomfort filled him, and the usually calm Charles
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 279: An Unfamiliar Embrace
Asher carried Vivienne into the bathroom and carefully set her down. The bathroom was brightly lit, and their faces were reflected in the mirror. The area around the white porcelain bathtub was adorned with rose petals, probably prepared by the maids who came to clean the apartment today.Vivienne had initially entered the bathroom to wash her face and clear her mind. Now, standing face to face with Asher, she was indeed sober, but she didn't know what to say.Although they had been living together for some time, today marked a change in their relationship.As she gazed at Asher standing quietly, Vivienne pursed her lips and took the initiative to raise her hand, gently touching his fair complexion.She didn't often see Asher drink, and even when he did drink in her presence, it was usually just a small taste. Today, however, he drank more than usual.It was because of this that Vivienne realized Asher's alcohol tolerance was much better than she had imagined, to the point where he di
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 280: Aren't You Going to Ask Me Why?
In the spacious bathroom, Vivienne was left alone. She lowered her head and absentmindedly looked at her hands, as if the sensation of hugging him just now still lingered in her palms. The coldness of his skin and the momentary stiffness and trembling of his body remained vivid in her memory.Outside the bathroom, Asher used all his strength to suppress the shivering in his body. Why did this happen? Even though he told himself not to be afraid anymore, and even though he knew she still loved him and willingly married him...But this instinctive rejection still couldn't be overcome! He was afraid of being embraced! When did this reaction start? It was from the moment he saw those photos of himself taken ten years ago. Since then, every time someone hugged him, scenes from ten years ago would flash in his mind, scenes with those hands... Those hands that made him feel nauseous...Why, why is his body reacting like this? He hugged himself, fingers continuously clawing and pulling at his

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. 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
