CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 36: Is there something you need?
"Nothing much, I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow," Vivienne replied, her mind still a bit unsettled. She couldn't understand why she would feel captivated by Asher's smile when she didn't have any feelings for him. "That's good," Julian said. "Since we don't have classes today, why don't you freshen up and take a nap? You stayed up all night with me." "No need, I'm not sleepy yet," Vivienne said, pulling up a chair to sit next to Julian. They started watching a TV series on the computer together. After watching for a while, Vivienne asked, "Does the male lead have a hearing impairment?" "Yeah, it's acquired. Despite coming from a wealthy family, he has always felt insecure because of this defect. Relationships are also more challenging for him than for others," Julian explained. For some reason, Vivienne suddenly thought of Asher. Perhaps it was because both he and the male lead had some kind of physical or mental condition. However, she had never noticed any signs of

"Would you like to find a place to sit and talk? Last time we met, it was too rushed, and we didn't get a chance to have a proper conversation," Ezra suggested."Sorry, but I have to rush to work now. I'm afraid I don't have much time," she declined and started walking towards the nearby bus stop.However, before she could take a step, his arm blocked her way, preventing her from leaving. "Well then, you can answer me now," Ezra paused, looking at her with a half-smile. "What's your relationship with Asher?"Vivienne was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ezra to suddenly bring up Asher. "Regardless of my relationship with him, it doesn't seem to concern you," she replied.But as soon as the words left her mouth, his arm that had been blocking her way swiftly pulled her into his embrace. Suddenly, her back was pressed against his chest, and his lips approached her ear, whispering softly, "Don't fall in love with him, Vivienne."Her body trembled.When he called her name, it was differ

"I don't think we have anything to talk about," she said."What if I say we do?" he replied calmly.She stared at him, and he continued, "You have a good friend named Julian. The Four Seas Corporation just hired her, and I believe she may have already received the news."Implied within his words was another meaning: the Four Seas Corporation could also make decisions not to hire."Is this a threat?" Vivienne asked irritably."No," Ezra shook his head lightly. "I just want to have a chance to sit down and have a proper conversation with you."After a moment of contemplation, Vivienne took out her phone and made a call to the manager of the club. Once she secured her time off, she looked up again and asked, "Where should we talk?"Ezra took Vivienne to a restaurant, a place he used to take her to frequently. Vivienne always liked the restaurant's milk tea, the yin-yang milk tea, which was a must-order item for her.This time, Ezra also ordered a yin-yang milk tea for Vivienne.Vivienne
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 39: Don't Make It Hard for Me to Find You
But his excessive paranoia was also what frightened her.Upon arriving at the hospital, before entering the ward, Vivienne heard the sound of something falling to the ground from inside the room, followed by a woman's voice, "Sir, it's not advisable for you to leave the hospital right now. If you have any needs, you can let us know."Before the woman could finish her sentence, her voice abruptly ceased.Vivienne pushed the door open and saw Asher gripping a nurse's neck, his expression cold. The nurse had a pale face, trembling all over, resembling a leaf being swept away by the autumn wind.Vivienne froze for a moment before she could speak, but Asher had already let go of the nurse and walked briskly toward her, embracing her tightly. In a muffled voice, he asked, "Where were you?"His scent filled her nostrils. "Nowhere, what's wrong?" she asked in confusion, trying to pry him away from her with her hands.However, their strengths were clearly not on the same level. She struggled f
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 40: Promise
"I'll try my best," she hesitated and said."I want you to promise!" he insisted.She pursed her lips and remained silent because she couldn't give him that kind of promise.His expression turned even colder. "Why aren't you speaking? Does that mean you'll let me lose you again?" Lose you! Lose you! Just the thought of not being able to find her in the future made his blood feel like it was freezing.He was angry, and she could sense it. Perhaps now, all she needed to do was say something untrue to easily appease him, but..."Vivi, is it necessary for me to tie you to my side to ensure I'll never lose you again?" he asked, his voice dark and cold.Her heart trembled, and she took a deep breath. "If you really did that, I wouldn't forgive you."His lips tightened into a straight line, and his eyes stared at her intensely, his face turning pale.His appearance softened her heart in an instant. "I can't guarantee that my phone will always be charged," she hesitated to say.His expression
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 41: Reluctance
Who could have imagined that this terrifying man would also have such a completely different side? Vivienne didn't dare to stay in the ward for too long and the nurse left after a few words. She placed the dinner on the small table and watched Asher eat.Most of the time, he ate in silence, with precise and measured movements, like a well-calibrated machine. Unless Vivienne spoke, Asher rarely initiated a conversation during meals.As Vivienne observed Asher, she suddenly felt bewildered. Right now, he appeared calm and harmless. If she simply treated him as a friend and stayed by his side, it wouldn't be entirely impossible. But what would she do when he turned sinister and cruel? How would she handle that? Should she truly become "his" as agreed upon? Or should she make an effort to persuade him and abandon the thought? Alternatively, should she escape from his side?Various thoughts flashed through Vivienne's mind in an instant.After finishing his meal and putting down his utensil

He murmured, his lips trailing along her jawline, slowly kissing her neck and collarbone.Vivienne's body trembled lightly. In this situation, it was easy to unintentionally provoke him, and she couldn't predict what he might do then.What should she do to make him let go of her?She desperately thought of a strategy but was taken aback when he suddenly stopped kissing. "Are you afraid?" he asked abruptly.She was momentarily stunned, unable to react in time.He lifted his head and placed his palm against her neck, as if sensing the pulsation of her blood vessels. "If you're afraid, I can do nothing," he said.She looked bewildered, almost unable to believe her ears, as she heard him continue, "Vivi, I can do nothing, as long as you stay here with me."For her sake, he was willing to suppress his instincts and desires. All he wanted was for her to remain by his side.Vivienne never expected Asher to say such words, and he truly followed through with them. He simply held her hand and f
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 43: Doesn't Mean Anything
Since being with Ezra, she has been particularly cautious about the roles she takes in films. Even if there are kissing scenes, she always uses body doubles. However, she can't erase the ones she had already filmed in the past."Why are you watching this?" Scarlett asked anxiously. Ezra, who usually doesn't watch her movies or TV shows, suddenly started watching this one, which made her inexplicably anxious."I just wanted to see what you were like before I knew you," Ezra said nonchalantly.She couldn't discern anything from his expression and explained uneasily, "Back then, I just wanted to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry so that I could provide a better life for my family. If I had known I would meet you in the future, I would never have taken on such roles! Ezra, please don't be angry!"Her words were partly true and partly false. But his expression remained indifferent."Do you think I'm angry?" Ezra asked in response."Isn't that the case?" Scarlett replied,

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.

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
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 325: You Will Live Well Too
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

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.
