CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 82: The Ring
Vivienne remained silent, the number she had been trying to forget kept lingering in her mind. Sometimes, memories aren't easily controlled.Ezra's process of making tea was intricate, and although Vivienne had witnessed it a few times and even asked him about specific steps, watching it now still seemed overwhelming."Would you like a cup of tea?" he asked."No, I'm not thirsty," she replied.However, he had already handed her the teacup. "If you want to discuss something with me, it's best to have this cup of tea first."Though he had a gentle and elegant smile, his tone was difficult to refuse.Vivienne pursed her lips, accepted the teacup, and raised it to her lips, drinking it all in one gulp."You still drink tea so hastily," he observed her smile, seemingly filled with fondness. "Is it good?""I don't feel anything special," she answered truthfully. Vivienne couldn't differentiate between good and bad tea. The taste was always similar to her.Ezra didn't mind and opened his tea
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 83: Will You Call Me Despicable?
As the call ended, Ezra lowered his gaze and placed the phone back into Vivienne's bag. "Vivienne, will you call me despicable?" he murmured to himself. The spacious compartment responded with nothing but air. "But even if I am despicable, so what?"All he wanted was for her to come back to his side. If she and Asher would separate just because of this, then she had no reason to stay by Asher's side at all!With the phone tightly gripped in his hand, Asher's face darkened. Every word uttered by Ezra echoed in his ears, as if clearly telling him that there was a past between them, a past that he couldn't fit into.A knock on the door interrupted the silence as the secretary entered. Respectfully, she said, "Mr. Montgo, the meeting in Conference Room 3 will begin in five minutes.""Get out!" Asher interrupted the secretary.The secretary stood there stunned, her heart pounding as she looked at the man before her. His hand clenched the phone, veins popping on the back of his hand. His co
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 84: Would You Lie to Me?
Afraid that certain questions, once asked, would destroy something beautiful, afraid that the day she said she liked him would turn out to be just a dream.Under the light, her sleeping face appeared peaceful and serene. It was as if she had a comforting power that could calm him just by being by her side and watching her sleeping face.Asher raised his finger and gently caressed Vivienne's face, his fingertip sliding across her eyebrows, eyes, and delicately brushing her lips. His gaze unintentionally fell on her left hand.If she wore a ring on her left ring finger, would it mean she had found someone to spend her life with? Ezra still wore the ring she had bought him, but what about her? She had also worn a ring on her left hand for that man.His gaze grew deeper as his fingers moved to her left hand, and his thumb and forefinger lightly circled her middle finger.So she had someone she wanted to spend her life with too? Asher pondered heavily.When Vivienne opened her eyes, she on

They locked eyes, and Vivienne felt uneasy. "You should get up first; you're pressing down on me, and I can hardly breathe," she said.Asher remained silent for a moment before slowly getting up and sitting on the side. His hands still retained her warmth.Vivienne sat up, adjusted her hair and clothes, and gathered the fallen documents from the floor.Meanwhile, Asher sat on the couch in silence, hugging his knees and curling up.Vivienne sighed and walked up to Asher, extending her hands to touch his cheeks. "If you're angry because I went to see Ezra, you don't have to be. Nothing happened between him and me," she said.Her warmth transmitted to his face through her palms, the warmth he longed for. The anger that had been boiling in his chest strangely subsided a bit because of her words."Do we have to complete the renovation?" he asked, looking at her."If I resign now, I'll have to pay a compensation of 300,000, and I won't be able to work in a similar field for five years," she

And now Scarlett, she was a top-tier actress, reportedly earning millions for each film. Of course, what fascinated people even more was her relationship with Ezra. Many speculated whether she would soon marry into a wealthy family. Scarlett clearly noticed Vivienne and, after a moment of surprise, took off her sunglasses and walked over with a smile. "Vivienne, I didn't expect to see you here." "Yeah, me neither," Vivienne replied. "This is Mr. Montgo, right? I've seen you once at a banquet. I'm Scarlett, nice to meet you," Scarlett greeted Asher. However, Asher completely ignored Scarlett and treated her as if she were invisible. Scarlett's smile became a bit awkward, but it only lasted a few seconds before she regained her composure. She turned to Vivienne and said, "Let's have dinner and catch up sometime. It's been three years since we last met." "Sure, if we have the chance," Vivienne replied, but she had no idea when that chance would come. Scarlett turned around and foll
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 87: Yours in the End, Yours After All
Companionship? To accompany a father who lies unconscious, not even aware of his own consciousness? A faint smirk appeared on Ezra's lips as he sat elegantly on the sofa by the bed. His knees crossed gracefully as he calmly observed his father. "Father, I'm sure you never imagined that a single illness would reduce you to this state. Humans are truly fragile, aren't they? They can easily fall ill and easily meet their demise."The elderly man on the bed remained silent, just lying there without making a sound.Ezra continued, his voice serene. "Mother might have thought that the suitable person for me is not someone who fits me but rather fits the Donovan family. However..." He paused, leaning slightly forward with his upper body, and gently caressed the oxygen tube inserted in his father's nostrils with his slender fingers. "When it comes to my marriage, the ultimate decision rests with me! In the end, I truly am your son. Even though I once vowed not to become like you, there are so
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 88: Extremely Bad Mood
Caelan had just finished playing a game of cards when he noticed Asher sitting on the couch, playing with his phone, as if everything around him was shut out.He approached for a closer look and realized that his friend was scrolling through Vivienne's photos on his phone, one by one, with his slender fingers repeatedly flipping through them. It was evident that Asher had quite a collection of Vivienne's pictures on his phone."I heard you haven't been in a good mood these days," Caelan said, sitting next to Asher.Unfortunately, Asher completely ignored Caelan.Undeterred, Caelan continued, "Is it because of Vivienne?"Asher's fingers paused momentarily as he flipped through the photos, and Caelan knew instantly that he had guessed correctly."Did you guys have a fight?" he speculated.Asher finally looked up, staring at Caelan with a heavy gaze. "Shut up," he uttered.Ignoring Asher's irritation, Caelan persisted, "If it's because of a fight, why not talk about what happened? Maybe
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 89: Desire
It was unbearable, so unbearable! When Joyce sneakily entered the room, she saw the previously indifferent man lying on the bed, his face flushed to a deep purple. He slightly arched his body, half-opening his eyes, revealing a look of bewilderment and desire. His hands incessantly tugged at his shirt, even undoing the buttons directly.His white shirt was already half open, exposing his sturdy chest. His lean and well-defined body, with skin as smooth as white jade, stimulated Joyce's senses. Although she had seen many men's bodies before, none had made her feel this sudden desire.Just the thought of this man entwined with her, pressing her body, kissing her with those beautiful lips, and entering her forcefully, caused an excitement to surge within Joyce, making her body tremble with anticipation.Approaching the edge of the bed slowly, Joyce softly called out, "You seem hot and uncomfortable. Can I help you with that?"Such a voice was undoubtedly tempting for a man in such a stat

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.

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

"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
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.

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

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

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.
