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
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
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
"Vivi, in this lifetime, there can only be you for me. So, in your lifetime, there can only be me."On the vast and pure white bed, the slender and sturdy body of the young man pressed against the girl beneath him, his delicate lips lingering on the girl's collarbone."Let me go," the girl's voice carried a hint of breathlessness."Don't you like me?" The kissing stopped, and his chin slowly lifted, his beautiful eyes fixed firmly on the girl in front of him.It was a very focused gaze, in his pupils, in the color of his eyes, all imprinted with her face, as if his eyes held only her existence. "Then who do you like?" His eyebrows raised slightly, delicate yet gloomy.The girl's heart trembled, and she remained silent.In the next moment, he grabbed her right hand, his mouth enveloping her fingers, sucking, licking, spitting out and sucking in again, repeating the action as if her fingers were his most cherished toy at this moment.Sighing, she said, "No, I haven't liked anyone." As s
"Alright, Vivi, whatever you want, I will give it to you. If you want me to let you go, then I will." He spoke calmly.She was taken aback, finding it hard to believe what she had just heard. He would let her go so easily?But then, his voice continued, "However, I'll only let you go for ten years. After ten years, you must love me and belong to me alone."A faintly seductive smile appeared on the corner of the boy's lips, but his gaze towards her was heavy and lifeless, like a dead sea.Slowly, he lifted his right hand and hooked his little finger with her left hand. "Pinkie promise, unchanging for a hundred years. Vivi, this is what you taught me."She stared at their intertwined fingers, looking at his face so close to hers.Yes, that was something she taught him, the gesture of a promise.And now, he was making a promise to her that they couldn't go back on!While working as a waitress at night, Vivienne overheard Lily, another waitress, mentioning that a notable figure had arrive
The guests, whether standing or sitting, had expressions of disdain, amusement, or pure curiosity. Only one person, with his head lowered, calmly played with his phone as if the scene before him had nothing to do with him.From Vivienne's perspective, she could see the near-perfect profile of the man: a straight nose, jet-black hair falling over his smooth forehead due to his lowered head, and his eyes concealed. Even so, she could still sense that he was an incredibly handsome man.The familiar side profile caused Vivienne's body to stiffen suddenly.The manager beside her said, "Vivienne, quickly serve the guests their drinks."Before Vivienne could respond, the man who had been casually playing with his phone suddenly raised his head and looked in her direction.A refined face, a clean jawline, and the eyes hidden beneath his bangs—beautiful like a blooming white lotus. In the dim light, they seemed to be shrouded in a trance, then transformed into a focused gaze, like a net envelo
"What do you mean?" Before anyone could react, they heard a cracking sound. Along with the sound of bones dislocating, a scream echoed through the private room. The man's right hand was twisted unnaturally, but Asher remained expressionless, fingers still locked at the man's right hand joint.Not only his wrist, but he even broke the bones of the man's fingers. It was cruel and ruthless! As if he was merely doing something ordinary and simple, just like an ordinary person eating or drinking tea.The man screamed in agony, and a few customers who were initially stunned rushed forward, attempting to intervene. However, their persuasion had no effect whatsoever.Vivienne stared in astonishment at Asher. He was still the same as before, capable of displaying such expression and performing ruthless acts.The screams grew fainter, gradually fading away. If he didn't stop soon, the man's condition would likely worsen."That's enough," Vivienne spoke up. Two simple words, but they made Asher,
Vivienne was led out of the private room by Asher, and the manager hurriedly pulled Lily away as well. The remaining people at the table looked at each other in confusion. Some of them sent the man with the broken hand to the hospital, while others engaged in casual conversation."Hey, Caelan, you've been with the Young Master for the longest time. Do you know that girl?" one person asked curiously.Caelan, dressed in military uniform with the insignia of a lieutenant colonel on his shoulders, replied, "I don't know her, but...""But what?" someone prompted."It's nothing," Caelan furrowed his brows slightly and shook his head.What Caelan didn't say was that he had heard rumors before. It was said that Asher had once cared deeply about a girl. Overnight, he destroyed the city's largest nightclub for her. He also took a set of stunningly beautiful photos that caused a sensation. But in the end, he made the woman disappear from his life, forbidding anyone to mention her name, as if she
