CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 74: Do You Know Who They are?
"Is that so?" Asher replied indifferently, without any expression of joy.Fortunately, Vivienne had anticipated this kind of reaction. After knowing each other for so many years, if Asher had shown a different expression, Vivienne might have found it strange."Today, I'll treat you. Let's celebrate!" she suggested. Although she had never asked Asher for anything or money, it was undeniable that Asher usually paid for their meals and other expenses. Vivienne could only occasionally afford expenses at supermarkets or street vendors."Celebrate?" Asher raised an eyebrow slightly."But I can only afford something cheap. I can't afford anything too expensive," she quickly clarified, then asked, "Is there anything you want to eat or do?"He shook his head. It seemed that ordinary things didn't interest him at all.Well, it seemed like asking was futile. Vivienne's gaze fell on a nearby cinema, and she made a decision, "Then let's watch a movie. There's a good one currently playing." Going t
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 75: Remembering the Past
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone fell silent. The bar in question had once been the hottest spot in the city, with powerful connections behind it. But it was suddenly wiped out overnight.Anyone who had spent a long time in the streets knew about this incident. There were rumors linking it to the Montgo family, but no one could say for sure whether it was true or not."Could it be..." someone started hesitantly but couldn't continue. Could that young man from earlier be the one who took down the bar? It seemed impossible, especially considering that the bar had been shut down seven years ago when the young man was just a child."It's him," the boss confirmed with absolute certainty. He had been a bartender at that bar back then, and he still remembered that night vividly. It was this man who barged in, followed by a group of heavily armed police officers, all for the sake of taking away an unconscious woman.And that woman was none other than the one from earlier. Perhaps

"I don't want to," he admitted candidly. "But everything you've said, I want to experience it." He wanted to understand why she liked it, to feel that indescribable something she felt.Vivienne was taken aback, and Asher extended his right hand, hooking his pinky finger with hers. "A hundred years unchanging, you taught me that," he said softly.She was momentarily stunned. Yes, she had taught him that when they were young. Since then, whenever they made a promise, he would use this gesture to seal it.Just like ten years ago, when he promised to set her free. And now, he wanted to make a promise to watch a sports match with her."Next time, we'll go," he said, pressing his thumb against hers and whispering."Okay," she finally snapped out of her daze. The lights around them suddenly dimmed, and the movie started playing on the big screen."Let's watch the movie," she suggested, trying to pull her pinky finger out of his grip, but instead, he tightened his hold. His fingers interlocke
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 77: Not Dirty
"No, I won't," she assured him.He remained silent for a moment, then slowly released their interlocked fingers. Her hand instantly gained its freedom, gradually slipping away from his grip.She couldn't tell whose sweat was in the palm of her hand anymore—hers or his. Trembling, she reached into her bag and pulled out a tissue, wiping away the sweat in her hand.With lowered eyes, he looked at her wiping her hand and asked, "Am I dirty?"She hesitated, raising her head to look at him. "Why would you say that?""If I'm not, why did you wipe your hand?" he questioned in return.His gaze, deep and intense, made her heart tremble involuntarily. She stammered, explaining in front of him, "I wiped my hand because it was sweaty, not because..." She struggled to explain. She didn't have to explain, but his wounded expression compelled her to clarify."Is that so?" he murmured, raising his hand to hold the back of her head, and his lips pressed against her earlobe. "Then prove it to me.""Pro
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 78: No Disgust
The only thing Vivienne could remember was Asher dropping her off at the school gate, and then she ran back to her dormitory as if she were escaping for her life."What's wrong with you? Your face is so red," Julian looked at her friend curiously and asked."It's nothing," Vivienne quickly replied, even though there was a lingering sensation in her palms from that moment, even through the fabric of her clothes.That guy, oh my god, what was she thinking?Vivienne forcefully shook her head, put down her bag, and walked into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror—a flushed face, a forehead glistening with a thin layer of sweat from running, and a pair of eyes filled with complicated emotions.Is this the feeling of a pounding heart, is it love?"Vivi, your mom called earlier. She wants you to call her back when you get a chance," Julian shouted from outside."I know," Vivienne hurriedly responded. She splashed her face with cold water, walked out of the bathroom, and called h
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 79: Am I Going Crazy?
After comparing the floor plan, Vivienne examined each room in the villa while taking notes. As she was halfway through writing on the second floor, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the staircase. The footsteps were not loud, but in the silence around, they sounded particularly clear.Who could it be?! Vivienne wondered as she looked through the open door towards the direction of the stairs.The key card was still in her bag, so the only people who could enter the villa were likely the owner or someone like a manager.A slender figure slowly came into her view, causing her to inhale sharply.With his iron-gray suit, white shirt, meticulously groomed black hair, and a faint smile at the corner of his lips, he looked perpetually composed and elegant.As if the gloom, the pleading, and the madness from that night had all disappeared."How did you end up here?" Vivienne asked, looking at Ezra, who was just ten meters away, with a surprised expression on her face."Why do you think
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 80: Difficulty Breathing
After leaving the villa, Vivienne hurried back to school and took out the contract she had recently signed. As Ezra had said, if she were to resign, she would not only have to pay 300,000, but also be prohibited from working in a similar company or profession for five years. If it were just 300,000, maybe she would be brave enough to ask Asher for a loan, as Ezra suggested. However, those five years were the golden time for a designer, and besides, she loved her profession. It was almost like a childhood dream come true.Even though their family wasn't financially well off, Vivienne's mother had made sacrifices and ensured she studied fine arts, which required more expenses compared to other majors. Thinking about the hardships her mother had endured to raise her alone all these years, Vivienne's eyes became slightly red.When Julian returned to the dormitory, she saw Vivienne sitting alone and asked, "Why are you back so early? Didn't you have dinner with Asher?""No, should we go ea
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 81: Negotiation
Around them, students were walking sporadically. Asher's appearance naturally drew attention, and walking together in school only invited more glances.Asher was accustomed to these gazes, or perhaps in his perceptual world, these insignificant looks were simply nonexistent.Well, since they both intended to have a good relationship with Asher, there was no need to feel awkward! Vivienne took a deep breath and faced those looks with composure.On the way, they encountered some classmates whose faces seemed familiar, but Vivienne couldn't recall their names. She would make an effort to force a smile."Have you encountered any problems at work?" Asher suddenly asked.Vivienne was surprised, "Why did you suddenly bring up work?""Your friend mentioned that you might have some trouble at work."That's why. She breathed a sigh of relief, "It's nothing."Asher abruptly stopped walking, "You don't want to tell me?"Vivienne looked up at him. Although it was already getting dark, she could st

CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 329: The Next Heir of the Blood Curse
When Sheila Montgo's baby was born, Asher felt a little disappointed because the child's appearance showed no resemblance to her mother.In Asher's daydreams, he hoped his daughter would look more like Vivienne. However, being a newborn, with wrinkled skin and all, she simply looked like a little monkey.As Sheila grew day by day, her facial features became more distinct, and she started to resemble Asher more and more. Despite Asher's initial disappointment, Vivienne was delighted, especially when she saw the two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, staring at her. It gave her a sense of accomplishment.It was after Sheila's birth that Vivienne learned about the Montgo family's blood curse. Asher took the initiative to tell her, and the revelation left Vivienne utterly shocked, like a storm at sea.The Montgo family's blood curse meant that in the next generation of Montgo children, one of them would inherit it. Although Vivienne felt uneasy and worried, when Sheila turned five, the
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 328: My Dependence on Fate Has Appeared
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
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 327: She Thanked Him!
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
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 326: Marry Me
"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
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 324: The Child Was Still Here!
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
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
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 322: Abortion Surgery
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. They bravely s
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 321: Pregnancy

She went to the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test kit. Looking at the two bars on the test kit, her body felt a chill.Is she pregnant? Although pregnancy test kits might not always be accurate, the chances of them being wrong were very low. 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.
