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

    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,

    "What does it matter?" he asked, appearing so elegant and indifferent at the same time.But suddenly, she felt afraid.

Vivienne wondered. Then she heard Asher murmuring softly, "Good morning, Vivi."A radiant smile, as warm as the morning sun, appeared on his face. It was beautiful and youthful, like a child who had obtained the long-awaited treasure and felt completely satisfied."Good morning," she stammered. Her body instinctively leaned back, trying to create some distance between them. But she realized that he was still hol

    Is it stalling for time? Or should she confront Asher about their situation right now? After hesitating for a moment, she finally uttered, "Yes."Somehow, there were certain things she didn't want to lie to him about.But her response only added another layer of coldness to his face. He interrogated her, almost accusingly, "Why?""Because you haven't fallen in love with me, and I..." Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were forcefully covered by his hand, preventing her from saying another word."Don't say another word, Vivi. Don't say it!" He kissed her jawline, his tongue gently licking and sucking, as if a thirsty person desperately drinking water, seizing the opportunity for survival. "I've already told you, I will fall in love with you, so don't say another word!"He didn't want to hear what she had left unsaid. Perhaps if he heard it, he would lose control and do something uncontrollable.Her lips were tightly sealed by his hand, and even her cheeks started to ache. V

    She looked at the person buried in her chest, from her perspective, she could only see the top of his head, unable to see his face. The dampness on her chest increased, and in her ears echoed his sobbing. Clear, but piercing her eardrums.The anger and resentment she felt towards him slowly faded away at this moment, turning into a sense of helplessness. The question he asked, she didn't even know the answer herself.Vivienne didn't know how to answer Asher, so she could only let him cry against her chest for a long time until her body started to go numb, and only then did he finally release his grip on her.She almost fled from the hospital room, not daring to look at his face. At this moment, she didn't know how to face him at all! Should she scold him for his brutal and domineering behavior? Or should she sympathize with his tears?Asher silently watched Vivienne's figure gradually disappear from his view. When Caelan entered the room, he saw Asher standing there blankly, his eyes

    For several consecutive days, Vivienne hadn't been going to work at the club. When the manager asked her for the reason, she simply claimed to be feeling unwell. However, the real reason was to avoid Asher. Going to the club meant there was a high chance of running into him, and she had no idea how to face him now."Why haven't you been working these past few days? Did you quit your job?" Julian asked curiously in their dorm room."Not yet," Vivienne replied. "I just wanted a few days off, so I requested time off.""Rare indeed," Julian muttered, leaning closer to Vivienne. He noticed she was engrossed in something on her computer screen. "What are you reading so attentively? You seemed really focused just now.""It's nothing," Vivienne said, but Julian had already seen the contents on the computer screen."Autism? Vivi, why are you looking at that?" Julian asked, puzzled. The screen was filled with posts and articles about autism."I stumbled upon a discussion about it on a forum, so

    The marble wall felt cold against Vivienne's back, the chill seeping through her thin shirt. She took a deep breath, looking at the person in front of her. He was standing close, his eyes fixed on her without blinking, his nose almost touching hers. His breath lingered on her face. Their silhouettes were imprinted in each other's pupils."Vivi, stop avoiding me!" Asher murmured in a hoarse voice."I'm not avoiding you," she replied, even though her hands pressed against his chest, unable to push him away."If you're not avoiding me, then why did you run away every time you saw me? Why didn't you answer my calls, and why haven't you been working at the club these past few days?" His series of questions left her speechless.His eyes bore into her, mesmerizing and clear. She dared not meet his gaze, afraid he would see her panic and guilt. Everything he said was true. She had been avoiding him.He pursed his lips, his breath becoming more rapid. He pressed closer, his voice cold. "Why wo

    His dark eyes stared at her intently, as if scrutinizing the truth behind her words. After a moment, he finally let go of her hand. She quickly withdrew her fingers from between his and sat down on a chair beside the coffee table.Asher sat across from Vivienne, and the waiter handed them the menu. After ordering two cups of coffee, the waiter left. Vivienne looked at Asher's expressionless face and asked, "How did you know I was in that building?"Recalling that she saw him as soon as she left the building, and judging by his appearance, it was evident that he wasn't there by chance but intentionally waiting for her.With his thin lips slightly pursed, he remained silent.Vivienne didn't press him further; she just looked at Asher. It was apparent that he had lost some weight and his complexion was pale. His bangs covered most of his forehead, and she suddenly wondered how his wounds had been these past few days, if they had improved.The two of them silently locked eyes, neither of

    The coffee cup came to a halt in front of Vivienne. She could almost feel the entire world freezing in time at that moment."You want to be my boyfriend?" she repeated, her voice filled with disbelief.The words he had just spoken replayed in her mind like an automatic rewind, echoing in her ears. He wanted to be her boyfriend. This time, there was no pleading tone in his voice; instead, it was firm and didn't allow any room for refusal.His gaze fell on her hand, and he quickly grabbed a tissue from the table. He took hold of her hand and carefully wiped away the coffee from her hand. Though the coffee wasn't too hot, her hand still had a faint red mark.Asher lowered his head and pressed his lips against Vivienne's hand, gently kissing every slightly burned spot. It was as if he were performing an incredibly important task, his expression focused and serious, even carrying a sense of reverence.Vivienne, too shocked to react, simply watched him. She watched as his lips left her hand

    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.

    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.

    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?
