CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 48: Stop Avoiding Me
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
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 51: Prelude to a Date
In an instant, she had a feeling of deja vu, as if she saw him from her childhood, tightly holding her hand and saying, "Vivi, you can't leave me!" Dating? Was she really going to date someone like him? She suddenly felt like walking on a tightrope, with a possible abyss below and a foggy path ahead. Whether she moved forward or backward, it was all unknown."I'll pick you up tomorrow," his voice interrupted her reverie."Pick me up?" she looked at him in confusion."For a date," he casually uttered the words.Vivienne was a bit dumbfounded. She and Asher had spent a considerable amount of time together since childhood, but they had never officially gone on a date."So, because we're dating, you want to go on a date with me?" Vivienne asked after pondering for a moment."Yes," he said with a sense of entitlement.She was momentarily speechless.Back in her dorm room, Vivienne collapsed onto her bed, feeling as if she had drained all her energy in just a few hours. She was exhausted."

It was Asher! She thought he would come to pick her up at the school gate, but she didn't expect him to come directly to the dormitory building to wait for her!Asher tilted his chin up and stared straight at Vivienne. Perhaps he had been looking at her for too long, as Julian couldn't help but ask Vivienne, "Vivienne, do you know him?""Yeah," Vivienne replied. She hurried back into the room from the balcony, quickly tidied up her hair and changed clothes, then greeted Julian before rushing downstairs."Why are you waiting for me here?" she ran up to him and asked."Is it not allowed?" he countered, putting away his phone and raising his hand to smooth her slightly disheveled hair from running.The girls who had been watching downstairs started whispering even more after seeing this scene. Vivienne glanced around and noticed that many of the girls were from her dormitory building."It's not that. Where's your car? It was parked at the school gate?" she asked."Yeah," he nodded slight

She was taken aback. If it were an ordinary person, they might engage in other activities when unable to sleep, but for him, daydreaming was actually the most normal thing to do.Vivienne lowered her head and continued eating, and Asher remained silent.By the time they finished eating and arrived at the entrance of the aquarium, it was already late morning. It was Saturday, and normally at this time, the aquarium would have had quite a few visitors.However, when Vivienne entered the aquarium, she realized that apart from the staff, there was not a single customer in the entire place. Moreover, the staff members treated Asher with utmost respect.The entire aquarium was filled with various aquatic creatures, from the ceilings to the glass walls and even the glass floors. But Vivienne had no interest in appreciating them at the moment."Did you rent the entire place?" Vivienne looked at Asher beside her, and it seemed like the only explanation for this."Yes," he nodded."Why did you

They had their lunch in the restaurant of the aquarium. The spacious dining area was empty, with only the two of them present.Vivienne had no idea how much Asher had spent to reserve the entire aquarium, but she could only imagine that only he would spend a large sum of money for such an ordinary date.Though there were few magazine reports about Asher, Vivienne still knew some things about him. She knew that he had taken over the Montgo family's chain of hotels and was considered a genius in the financial world.Of course, this referred not only to his ability to manage hotels but also to his precise insight in the futures and stock market. For him, money was like a numerical game in finance."What are you thinking about?" Asher's voice interrupted Vivienne's contemplation."Do you enjoy your work?" she asked, genuinely curious now."I don't feel anything," he replied.She clearly didn't understand, so he further explained, "Do you like 1+1?""What do you mean?" she became more conf

Inside the train compartment, with the air conditioning on and a comfortable temperature, Vivienne leaned her head against the seat and slowly closed her eyes.In the quiet space, a man and a woman leaned against each other, cuddling. It felt as if they had been together since ancient times and would stay together until the end of time.After an unknown amount of time, a passing girl outside the train seemed to accidentally catch a glimpse of the scene inside the compartment through the window. Excitedly, she took out her phone and started taking pictures of the two inside.Although there shouldn't have been any sound inside the compartment, those ink-like eyes slowly opened, with a vacant gaze coldly staring at the girl outside holding her phone up.The girl's body stiffened, and she felt a chilling sensation crawling up her spine. The man's gaze felt like absolute stillness. Her hands trembled involuntarily, and she felt like she could barely hold onto her phone.She thought he woul

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. 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.

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.
