Chapter 71: Don't Look

Vivienne doesn't know if she and Asher have the possibility of becoming family. In the end, Asher bought an LCD TV and placed it in the living room. Vivienne often asks Asher to watch TV, thinking that if he could be exposed to various TV programs, he might become less isolated.Vivienne's cooking skills are average at best. After preparing a simple meal in the kitchen, she planned to bring the food to the living room. However, she discovered Asher standing at the kitchen doorway, silently watching her. Startled, she patted her chest and asked when he had been standing there."Did I startle you?" he walked closer and asked."A little," she replied, picking up two plates of food and crossing past him to the dining table in the living room. Just as she was about to return to the kitchen, a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind, pulling her into his embrace.Her back was pressed against his chest, and he rested his chin on her shoulder, burying most of his face in h

Chapter 72: Trust Only Once

Vivienne's body trembled as she tried to pull the person's hand down, but he firmly kept her eyes covered, not allowing her to see anything. "Vivi, don't look at him! I am the one you're involved with, so you can't look at him!" His gaze was focused, almost possessive.The way she had looked at the TV screen earlier had made him feel suffocated, as if every breath he took had become painful. Even though she had told him she felt nothing for Ezra, why did he still feel hurt and uneasy?"Are you lying to me?" he whispered lowly in her ear."What?" Her ears felt ticklish, and when her vision was engulfed in darkness, she had a strange sensation as if her world existed only with him."Do you truly feel nothing for Ezra? Or were those words just a lie, a way to deceive me?" he questioned, his voice filled with pain.She paused, taking a deep breath. This time, she carefully pried open his fingers, pulling his hand away.Light flooded her vision again, and Vivienne looked at Asher in front

Chapter 73: Trap

"Yes, that's what they said on the phone," Vivienne replied. Finally securing a job allowed her to breathe a little easier. If she hadn't found a job quickly after quitting the club, she would have had difficulty covering her living expenses next month."I've never seen someone like you. You have a wealthy boyfriend, yet you're eagerly looking for a job that pays $4,000 a month," Julian remarked. In this city, after deducting rent and expenses, that salary would barely be enough to get by.Vivienne smiled. "If money gets mixed up in a relationship, it feels strange to me." At least, she hoped that both parties would be equals in their relationship."Yes, you're right!" Julian agreed repeatedly.The next day, Vivienne went to the company to sign the contract. The HR manager who had interviewed her initially was now wearing a friendly smile. "Vivienne, you're here. Here's the contract, take a look. If you have any questions, feel free to ask," the manager greeted her."Thank you, Manage

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

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

Chapter 76: It Hurts

"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

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

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

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

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
