"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

    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

    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

    "If you're willing to tell me, you can say it. If you don't want to disclose the reason, I won't ask, and you can tell me whenever you feel like it," Vivienne said, her fingers gently caressing his lower lip.Her touch seemed to alleviate his pain and unease. Asher gazed at Vivienne intently, his Adam's apple slightly moving up and down involuntarily. Tilting his head slightly upwards, from her perspective, she could see his face more clearly—the struggle in his eyes, the graceful curve of his jaw and neck...Her touch didn't bother him, but her embrace made him... "Do you dislike it when I hug you?" Vivienne asked, taking the initiative.Asher's body stiffened again. Vivienne patiently waited without rushing him.Asher gently pulled her hand down, his eyelashes drooping to hide his eyes, "Those pictures are real," he said abruptly.Vivienne understood that Asher was referring to the explicit photos taken before."I was drugged then..." His voice sounded strained, as if it took all hi

    But just as she embraced him from behind, his body stiffened in an instant, just like in the bathroom. The next moment, he forcefully pressed her down on the sofa, gripping her wrists tightly, preventing her from embracing him again."Vivi... don't... don't hug me..." Asher gasped for breath, straining his body above Vivienne. As much as he longed for her embrace, his body reacted immediately with rejection the moment they touched. Every inch of his skin, bones, and blood in his body repelled this hug.Her wrists were in pain from his tight grip, and his breath brushed against her face, both scorching and chilling. And in his eyes, there was no longer the usual emptiness but a mixture of struggle, pain, and a deep self-disgust.These complex emotions were something Vivienne had never seen before. She had always hoped that one day his eyes would no longer be so empty, devoid of the emotions a human should have. Yet, when she finally saw so many emotions in his eyes, it pained her even

    Vivienne raised her head and saw that Asher's face was flushed, his eyes moist as if about to shed tears, his expression a mix of panic, helplessness, and more importantly, a deep self-disgust and buried desire.Vivienne felt a stir in her heart, even if Asher's body might reject and despise himself, he would still yearn for her touch. It was like when they were children, he always liked holding her hand, snuggling in her embrace.People with autism, once they find someone they are willing to open up to, they will crave physical contact to seek a sense of security.She gently pulled his hand away, giving him a slight smile, "Asher, I just want to prove that you are clean.""Prove?" He looked puzzled."Yes, prove that you are cleaner than anyone else, and then, I want to make you happy..." She said, lowering her head once again, her lips approaching his swollen and purplish arousal.He stared at her petite lips approaching his scorching area, and his body trembled involuntarily, making

    Is he... asleep from being drunk?!Julian took a full minute to react. She slightly turned her head and from her angle, she could only see Charles' dark hair, his straight nose, and closed eyes with long black eyelashes.This was the first time she had a man leaning on her shoulder like this, and it felt a bit strange."Charles!" Julian called softly, but there was no response. She called a few more times, but still, no answer.It seemed like he was really passed out from being drunk! Julian thought to herself and glanced at Charles like that, then looked out of the car window."Driver, why don't you just take Charles back first?" Julian said to the driver in the front."But Mr. Montgo said to drop Miss Reed off first," the driver replied, feeling a bit hesitant."Anyway, you are going to drop me off later, and you will still take Charles back to Montgo's house, right? Besides, when we get to Montgo's house, there will be many servants to take care of him. In other words, I don't need

    As Julian spoke, she tried to sit up straight, but as soon as she lifted her head slightly, her neck was suddenly pressed down by a force, bringing her face even closer to his.Julian was stunned. She could clearly feel the warmth of his palm on her neck. At this moment, his gaze, which was once cold and sharp, turned into one of desire.He was desiring her?The sudden thought startled Julian. She had considered that Charles might like her a little, which was why he treated her differently. But if it was desire..."Dependence on Fate..." his thin lips parted, and he murmured those words.Dependence on Fate? Julian couldn't help but think of the term that Vivienne had mentioned to her before. It seemed to be related to the Montgo family, but what exactly was Dependence on Fate? Julian didn't know. Did it refer to a person? Or was he looking at someone through her?"Do you know, I've been looking for you for a long time," he murmured, his black pupils fixed on her. At this moment, his m

    It was a very comfortable feeling, so comfortable that he even wanted to lie down like this forever. However, he was taken by surprise when she decided to send him home.So, was she caring for him? This discovery made him feel much happier. At that moment, he allowed himself to be immersed in this drunkenness. When he opened his eyes and saw her so close to him, he suddenly felt like he had returned to his childhood when his body was in extreme discomfort and pain.Back then, he had learned from adults that he had to find his own "Dependence on Fate" to get rid of the pain. So every time the pain struck, he would think about finding his "Dependence on Fate."But as time went by, this anxious search gradually faded away, and eventually, he almost gave up on finding his "Dependence on Fate."But when he actually found her, when he saw her with his own eyes, he suddenly understood why every generation of the Montgo family eventually fell in love with their "Dependence on Fate."

    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

    "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. 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

    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

    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.

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.
