《I'm Your Sister, Brother Chow》 Chapter 1: How Much Does He Really Love Her? Chapter 1: How Much Does He Really Love Her? Layers of dark clouds hung low in the sky. A storm wasing. The cherry blossoms in the yard swayed violently in the wind. Their petals fluttered down from the branches and quickly became one with the soil. Vivian held her skirt down as she ran towards the ss door of the main building. She pushed open a small gap, just enough to let her through, and quickly shut the door. It was not until the wind and storm were behind her that she sighed in relief and held onto the backpack straps hanging from her shoulders. However, before she could walk any further, she heard a low, ice-cold whisper from behind her that soundede from hell. "For someone at your age, you do know all the best postures to seduce a man. You''re just as provocative as your mother." Vivian''s whole body suddenly stiffened. She firmly grasped backpack straps and slowly turned around. "Brother Chow..." C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Wasn''t he supposed to be on a business trip to Europe? Why was he back after just three days? Thinking that she actually thought she could finally rx for a few days! The man she called ''brother'' sat on the mink sofa in the living hall. He looked at most in his early twenties, but the ferocity and ruthlessness in his eyes were beyond that of a man at his age. The man narrowed his eyes. The disdain in them was clearly showing. "Come here." His words had always been concise and powerful. Vivian trembled all over. Her knuckles had turned white from grabbing her backpack straps tightly, but she still slowly made her way to him without a choice. The man was growing impatient with her slow pace. When there was still some distance between them, he reached out and forcefully yanked her into his arms. "Ah¡ª" Vivian was caught off guard as she fell onto his chest. She couldn''t help screaming in fright. "Shut up!" The man frowned in annoyance and reached out to grab her chin before suddenly lowering his head and taking her delicate lips into his mouth. This was not the first time he had done this to her, but Vivian still couldn''t stop herself from gasping out loud as she tried pushing him away in panic. The man''s expression changed when he felt her resistance. His eyes darkened and he shoved her onto the ground. She stopped fighting back when her eyes met with the man''s cold eyes. She knew that he didn''t care about anything that she said anyway. That was because the disgust and hatred he had to her had already surpassed everything else in his heart. She was only eighteen years old. She should still have been a carefree girl, but fate had forced her to grow up too quickly. She was well aware of her current situation. Vivian looked down to hide the weakness in her eyes. She pushed herself off the ground and got up. The man watched her coldly. There was nothing but scorn and ridicule written on his face. In his undisguised contempt, Vivian felt like she had been stripped bare and thrown in front of him, and she had no way to escape. She didn''t want to stay here anymore, but before she could leave, she heard the loud click-ck of high heelsing from the stairs. He''d always preferred peace and quiet. Aside from the necessary cleaning and dusting work, his servants were not allowed to loiter around in the main building, let alone wear high heels. Vivian didn''t even have to turn around to know who the footsteps belonged to. Chapter 2: How Much Does He Really Love Her? Chapter 2: How Much Does He Really Love Her? Wasn''t it just the first day since he came back from Europe? Was he that impatient to go out on a date with her? Vivian closed her eyes and felt her heart contracting in pain. It hurt so much that it felt like hell. "Great, you''re back from school! I was just about to get dinner with Chow. Would you like to tag along?" As she spoke, she quickened her steps and walked up to them, reaching for the man''s¡ª Chow''s¡ª arm before smiling charmingly at Vivian. She was a beautiful woman, obviously much more attractive than Vivian''s in Jane girl-next-door vibe. Her beauty was not the provocative type. If Vivian''s temperament was like an orchid in a valley, then her beauty was like a dahlia in full bloom. If they both stood together, Vivian would never be the one that attracted anybody''s attention. Seeing the generous smile on her face, Vivian felt a sense of inferiority briefly sh in her eyes, but she quickly forced herself to return the smile. "No... No thanks, Sister Celine. I still have homework to do tonight, so I won''t disturb your date with Brother Chow." Celine shrugged and nodded in understanding. "That''s true. Education is still the most important thing for you as a student. In that case, I won''t dy you any further." Vivian nodded at her and responded softly, "Have a pleasant date. I''ll go up first." As she said that, Vivian''s gaze swept over Celine and inadvertentlynded on Chow''s long fingers that had just vited her body. Chow could clearly sense her gaze. He purposely twirled his fingertips in front of her, chuckled softly, and slipped his hand into his pants pocket. Vivian trembled slightly because of his actions. Under his intense eyes, she couldn''t help feeling an unbearable sense of embarrassment. "Well, we''ll just have dinner together next weekend." Celine leaned her head gently against Chow''s shoulder as she spoke. She then said cutely, "Chow, it looks like it''s going to rain. Why don''t we go over to my ce? I''ll make dinner for you, okay?" Vivian knew that there was no point in her staying. She nodded at them once more before turning and walking towards the stairs. Celine didn''t bother with Vivian''s departure. She kept whispering in Chow''s ear, "If it really rainster, Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. you won''t even need toe home tonight." They were already in a rtionship with each other. It would be normal for Chow to spend the night at her ce. However, Chow''s gaze was fixed on Vivian''s back. A faint smile appeared on his lips. "I''m afraid I can''t. Vivian has always been scared of thunder. I''m afraid I''ll have to stay at home and apany her tonight." Hearing his words, Vivian, who had been going up the stairs, slipped and almost fell. She quickly turned back to look at the couple behind her. Disappointment showed on Celine''s face. She looked at Vivian with a look of unwillingness, whilst Chow''s eyes remained yful and teasing. Vivian wanted to say that she didn''t need hispany, but knowing him, she knew that if she really said it out loud, she would suffer even more tonight. No one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do. So, Vivian lowered her head, turned around, and continued ascending the stairs in silence. Chapter 3: How Much Does He Really Love Her? Chapter 3: How Much Does He Really Love Her? She knew that Sister Celine would me her for her behaviour and think that she was being irrational. However, she would always have no other choice when Chow was around. "Let''s go to have dinner in the dining room. Aunt ine should be done cooking soon." Chow''s voice came from behind Vivian, stopping her from leaving once more. "Why? Chow, didn''t you say you wanted to eat with me?" Celine asked, her voice suddenly filled with grievance. Chow lowered his head and smiled at her. This was the kind of gentleness that Vivian had never experienced from him before. "It''s going to rain soon, love. Let''s have a taste of Aunt ine''s cooking today. You can stay after dinner, right?" If Celine was going to stay tonight, that meant... Vivian clenched her fists and dug her nails painfully into her palms. Celine, who was standing next to Chow, blushed and nodded profusely at him. However, when Chow raised his head to look at Vivian again, the tenderness in his eyes disappeared in an instant. "Hurry up and go. Come back down for dinner in ten minutes." "Yes." Technically, she was just a guest staying with the Howard family, but she could only nod and obey his orders like a maid. Turning away from the two people downstairs, Vivian involuntarily bit her lips. How could she still secretly fall in love with him in a situation like this? Not daring to stay with them any longer, Vivian ran upstairs and rushed into the room next to Chow''s bedroom. Their rooms had always been next to each other since the day she started staying with the family. Vivian rushed into the attached bathroom and looked at her pale face in the mirror. She couldn''t help smiling bitterly to herself. "Vivian, stop daydreaming. Look at you. How could you everpete with Sister Celine? It''s even worse since your mother is Uncle Dn''s lover." Chow had always hated her for that. How could he fall in love with her? A tear trickled down from the corner of Vivian''s eyes. She looked away from the mirror, unwilling to see herself crying. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Chow had only given her ten minutes, so she didn''t have the time to feel sorry for herself. Vivian looked up and blinked back the tears in her eyes, tidied herself up, and walked out of the bathroom. Chow didn''t like it when she changed out of her school uniform too early. She had to keep wearing it untilte at night. Vivian blushed as she took off her backpack, hung it on a hanger, and hurried out of the room. Recalling the time limit that Chow had given her, Vivian walked faster. As she reached the dining hall and was about to knock on the door, she clearly heard a faint gasp She was all too familiar with the sound. Her hand froze against the door as she peeked through a gap. Next to the dining table, Celine and Chow were tightly hugging and kissing each other. The buttons on the front of her clothes had popped open, revealing a part of her undergarments underneath. However, Celine seemed to be unaware of it and was deeply immersed in the kiss with Chow. Vivian could almost see the expression on her face from a distance. Vivian felt a sharp pain in her heart. She took two steps backwards, not knowing what to do. When she raised her head, she suddenly saw Chow''s cold eyes staring back at her through the gap in the door. ...... Vivian looked at him in panic. Chapter 4: Vivian Looks Very Uncomfortable Chapter 4: Vivian Looks Very Ufortable She knew that she should leave immediately, but her feet seemed rooted to the ground. She couldn''t move at all. After a long while, Chow finally pushed Celine away. "Vivian should being soon," he said in a low, hoarse voice. Celine''s face instantly showed a trace of dissatisfaction as she answered softly, "I told you that we C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. should have gone to my ce. It''s so inconvenient here." Chow snickered and lifted Celine''s chin with his finger. "What, did you want it that much? Don''t worry, I''ll satisfy you well tonight." As he said thest sentence, Chow raised his face again and looked at Vivian through the door gap, as if he was saying it to her as well. Vivian shivered hard at his gaze. She lowered her head, waiting for the show to end. It took a lot of effort for her to stop herself from wanting to run away. After confirming that Celine was decent once more, Vivian gently knocked on the dining room door with trembling hands. "Brother Chow, Sister Celine, sorry I''mte," she said hesitantly. Chow narrowed his eyes and looked at the door that was opening slowly. His voice instantly turned cold. "It''s very, veryte. Didn''t I tell you toe down in ten minutes?" Vivian stood by the door silently, her hands tightly clutching the door handle. She really didn''t know what to say. Should she say that she had actually arrived a long time ago but hadn''t wanted to disturb the both of them inside? But if she did, wouldn''t she surely getbelled as a pervert or a peeping tom? "Come on, Chow, girls usually take a long time to wash up. The food isn''t cold anyway, so don''t me her." Celine''s cheeks were still red from the excitement just now. She lifted her head and looked at Vivian standing by the door. "Come in and have dinner. Don''t you have homework to do at night?" She seemed more like the master of this household than Vivian did. Vivian had long been ustomed to getting along with others like this anyway. She smiled at Celine and went to sit at the other side of the table. She knew that her deliberately avoiding Chow would make him angry, but for now, she just couldn''t care less. She didn''t want to face him at all. As expected, as soon as she sat down, she saw Chow narrowing his eyes at her dangerously. She was so scared that she quickly lowered her head and stared nkly at the table in front of her without saying a word. With Celine around, however, Chow said nothing after all. Instead, he reached out to the seat next to his and pushed the food there towards Vivian. Vivian was a little ttered, but she still dared not look at him. She kept her head lowered as she ate silently. Aunt ine had purposely made his favourite meat stew and crisp tofu for dinner tonight. She happened to love them as well. "Eat more. You''re so bony that you''re not so nice to touch and hold anymore." Chow ignored Vivian Celine''s face immediately turned red. She rolled her eyes at him. "Stop talking nonsense again!" "I''m not talking nonsense. Just now, we..." "Eat your dinner!" Celine picked up a piece of beef from her te and stuffed it into Chow''s mouth, making him chuckle. Vivian could only hear him joking around like this when he was with Celine. With other people, Chow was used to showing his nonchnt attitude instead. Chapter 5: Vivian Looks Very Uncomfortable Chapter 5:Vivian Looks Very Ufortable "How much did he love her that he would change so much for her?" Vivian thought. She silently ced a piece of tofu into her mouth. Suddenly, her entire body tensed up and she shuddered hard. Chow was touching her thigh under the dining table. Vivian gasped softly and looked into his eyes in panic. Chow was also staring at her with a twisted smile on his lips. "What''s wrong? Vivian, is Aunt ine''s cooking not to your liking?" His words sessfully attracted Celine''s attention. Celine also turned to at Vivian. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Seeing Vivian''s flushed face, she couldn''t help frowning. She put her hand on Vivian''s forehead. "Why is your face so red?" she asked. "Did you catch a cold because of the bad weather today?" When Celine''s hand touched her, Chow''s toes nudged against her feet again, which made Vivian tremble all over. She let out a soft grunt. "Hey!" As soon as she''d realised what she did, Vivian looked at Celine''s puzzled eyes in panic. "Vivian, are you feeling unwell?" Celine asked and turned her gaze to look at Chow. "Chow, I think Vivian looks very ufortable. Should we ask Dr. Duncan to take a look at her?" Chow''s thin lips curled into a nasty smile. "Celine, you still don''t understand her enough. She''s ufortable because she waste and rushed too quickly just now. Aren''t I right, Vivian?" As he asked, he looked deeply into Vivian''s eyes. Vivian forced herself to stop trembling and nodded softly. "Yes. I-I''m fine, Sister Celine." A hint of suspicion shed in Celine''s eyes. They darted between Chow and Vivian several times before Celine finally sat back down. "Alright, then. Let''s eat." On the surface, it seemed like everything was perfectly normal. But why was there a faint uneasiness in her heart? She was wary of the fact that Vivian was not rted to Chow by blood, but ever since learning that Chow had always treated Vivian indifferently, she felt a lot more relieved. However, every time she saw the subtle interaction between Chow and Vivian, the uneasiness would still surge in her heart. It hadn''t been easy for her to be the girlfriend of the heir to the Howard family. Now that their rtionship had just stabilised, she couldn''t allow for any idents to happen. Celine bit her lower lip. She lifted her head and smiled brightly at Chow. "Chow, my mother asked me to thank you for sending her the massage chair. She really likes it." Chow raised his eyebrows and put a juicy piece of meat onto her te. "Of course, your mother is also my mother. I have to take good care of her too," he answered casually. Celine''s anxious heart rxed when she heard him say that. The smile on her lips grew a little wider. "But she still wants to thank you. She''s now happily showing off to everyone that she has such a good son-inw." As she said thest word, Celine suddenly blushed and lowered her gaze shyly as if she''d just said something wrong by ident. Only she knew the true intent behind her words, whether she had identally or deliberately said it out loud. Hearing this, Chow couldn''t help but chuckle. "Son-inw? I don''t remember us getting married yet. Are you in such a hurry to marry me?" Chapter 6: I Can Walk by Myself Chapter 6:I Can Walk by Myself "In your dreams! I don''t want to marry you!" Celine said with a blush as she hit him, lookingpletely smitten nheless. Vivian kept her head down, the redness on her face gradually paling as the pair fooled and joked around with each other. Even while flirting with Celine, he was still doing things to her body. Vivian tried her best to control her trembling and ignore his influence on her, but it was all in vain. After so many years, she was still too easily affected by him. Every little thing he did would make her tremble uncontrobly. Fortunately, Chow had attracted all of Celine''s attention so that she wouldn''t notice Vivian''s reaction. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Vivian gripped her utensils tightly and stopped eating. She quietly looked at Chow sitting opposite her, pleading for him to stop. However, after meeting her gaze, Chow''s smile grew even more twisted. The look on his face sent a deep chill down her spine. Chow''s gaze flitted over the stiffened girl andnded on the windowsill. "It''s started to rain. The ground is all drenched." His voice was so deep and low that it made Vivian''s heart drop. The dining room had a huge window in the side, where they could observe the outside surroundings from it, including the ground. It was just that the soundproof ss windows were firmly shut to keep the wind out. Vivian, with her back to the window, hadn''t noticed that it was raining cats and dogs outside. Hearing his words, Vivian rxed a little and turned to look out of the window. The sky waspletely smothered in thick, ck clouds. The flowers swayed in the wind as raindrops pelted heavily against the ss window. She flinched at the sight despite being unable to hear anything outside. Noticing her slight reaction, Chow nudged against the back of her foot again. Vivian quickly turned around and looked nervously at him. Chow seemed pleased with her reaction. "Are you scared?" he asked in an enchanting voice. Vivian tightly held the fork in her hand, her entire body tensing up. "N-No, I''m not." "I''ve said that you''re not allowed to lie to me. Your face is too pale and you''re still trembling. Why would you behave like this if you weren''t scared?" Chow''s eyes narrowed dangerously at her, but his movements under the table didn''t cease. Vivian tried pulling herself away, unable to say anything about it. What could she say? Should she say it out loud that her trembling was caused by his deliberate and provocative actions? Vivian bit her lower lip tightly as tears started gathering in her eyes. How could he be so despicable? Why did he have to treat her like this in front of his lover? Was she really not worth anything to him at all? Chow suddenly felt irritated when he saw her tearful face. His eyes darkened as he stared at her. "I think Celine was right. Vivian, you don''t look very well. I think it''s better to call a doctor." Celine had no idea what was going on under the table. She just knew that she didn''t want to see Vivian stealing Chow''s attention away from her. She stood up, walked over to Vivian, and patted her shoulder. "Why don''t I send you back to your room? You shouldn''t be eating greasy food anyway. I''ll ask Aunt ine to make some porridge for you She was behaving more like the host than Vivian was. "I..." Vivian looked to Chow for help. Even though Celine was already there to help her up, she still dared not leave without Chow''s approval. Chapter 7: I Can Walk by Myself Chapter 7:I Can Walk by Myself Chow''s lips curled up mockingly as he finally retreated his foot. Vivian sighed softly in relief. But for some reason, she felt a vague sense of emptiness in her heart. She hated that feeling. Was she really as shameless as he said she was? Why would she even long for his touch under such circumstances? "Stay here, Celine. I''ll send her back. You can''t just bring her up like this because she''s terribly afraid of the storm," said Chow. He got up and walked towards Vivian, bending down to lift her up. Vivian was startled. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at him with her panicked, watery eyes. Celine''s hand suspended awkwardly in the air. After a while, she clenched her fists and retracted her hand. "In that case, remember to tell Aunt ine to take good care of her. I''ll be waiting for you down here." "Alright," replied Chow, before leaving with Vivian in his arms. Celine watched their retreating figures, clenching her fists tightly under her sleeves. Did Chow really hate Vivian as much as he said he did? It certainly didn''t look like it, from what she could see. As soon as they left Celine''s field of vision, the smile on Chow''s face disappeared instantly. He lowered his head and silently stared into Vivian''s eyes. He then flipped her in his arms and changed her position so that she was now facing him instead, with Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g her legs around his waist. He then held her tightly against his chest Vivian gasped and automatically put her hands between the two of them. "No," she protested weakly. Chow frowned and gave her a dangerous look. "Don''t move!" he warned her in a low voice. Hearing his tone, Vivian froze in horror, her teary eyes fearfully looking into his icy ones. "Brother Chow, I... I can walk by myself." Hearing her call him that, he felt the frustration surging in his heart. "Are you sure?" he asked coldly. It was just a rhetorical question. He wasn''t really waiting for her answer. No matter what she said, there was nothing that would ever change his impression of her that was already deeply rooted in his mind. Vivian kept her eyes down to hide the hurt in her eyes, letting him hug her as tightly as he wanted to. Chow''s eyes darkened again. He quickly walked up to her door, pushed it open, and threw her onto the bed. He then pressed himself down heavily against her body, making her cry out softly. "Brother Chow..." There was a deep look in Chow''s eyes. His lips curled into a wicked smile. The cold, cruel look in his eyes could make anyone freeze in terror. Aware of his intentions, Vivian shook her head in a panic, pushing against his chest with her hands. "No, Sister Celine is still here!" Even the door to her room was still wide open. If Celine came looking for them, she would be able to see everything that was going on. But Chow didn''t seem to care at all. He leaned over her ear and whispered, "Since she''s still here, shouldn''t you like even more it if I kissed you now?" Vivian nearly cried from the humiliation. She couldn''t think of anything to say. Chapter 8: Even if Chow Hated Her All Along Chapter 8: Even if Chow Hated Her All Along Chow''s eyes were aze. Initially, he had just wanted to see Vivian''s frightened look, but her unexpected reactions greatly challenged his self-control, which he had always been proud of. The fire in his eyes prompted a gasp from Vivian. She pulled her hands away subconsciously. Seeing her show of resistance, Chow pursed his lips unhappily. "Don''t forget, Celine is still downstairs." Hearing his words, Vivian shivered again. Yes, Celine was still downstairs. They didn''t have much time. She couldn''t let Sister Celine see them like this. Vivian''s lips trembled. Just then, she heard the sound of high heelsing up the stairs. Celine was really on her way up! Vivian''s face drained of all its colour. She quickly reached out to push him away. "Sister Celine is However, Chow showed no signs of panic. Instead of getting up, he lowered his head again and nted a deep kiss on her lips. Celine walked faster as she ascended the stairs. She didn''t know why, but there was a voice in her heart constantly urging her to go and see why her boyfriend was still lingering upstairs. ... She turned around the corner of the stairs. She should have seen right into Vivian''s room at once, but the door was just in the way. Celine clenched her fists and continued walking in the direction of Vivian''s room. Because the door was wide open, she headed right in without knocking. She was greeted with a scene that waspletely beyond her expectations. Vivian was lying on her bed, her face pale as a sheet, and the rest of her body was covered with a soft quilt. Chow was nowhere to be seen. Since she couldn''t see Chow around, Celine''s tense face finally rxed. She leaned against the door frame and smiled at the terrified Vivian. "Feeling any better? Where''s Chow? Didn''t he stay here to take care of you?" As soon as she finished asking, she heard the door of Chow''s room next door click open from the inside. Chow stood at the door and looked at her with a calm expression on his face. "Why are you up here?" Just looking by looking into his eyes, Celine felt like he couldpletely see through her. She quickly looked away and pointed towards Vivian with a hurried smile. "I... I just wanted to see if Vivian was feeling any better." Chow''s gaze darkened. Of course, he didn''t believe what she said, but he still decided not to expose her. Instead, he gave her a twisted smile. "Don''t worry about her. She''s fine now. I''m the one who''s not feeling fine." As he spoke, Chow walked up to Celine and pulled her into his arms. Celine blushed and ran her fingers along his chest. "You''re so annoying!" Even though she called him annoying, she still obediently closed Vivian''s door and fell back into Chow''s embrace before following him into his room. Vivian watched them disappear behind the door. Her eyes eventually darted towards the wooden door that lead to her wardrobe. She knew that for the next hour or so, the pair would be doing unmentionable things behind that door. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Her existence was nothing but a joke. Chapter 9: Even if Chow Hated Her All Along Chapter 9:Even if Chow Hated Her All Along Vivian slowly pulled her hand out from under the quilt. She felt overwhelmed with shame and anger C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. from the bottom of her heart. Was she really such a shameless person like he said she was? Why did her heart hurt so much when she saw Chow leave with Celine in his arms? The rain outside the window kept getting heavier and heavier. She could hear the sound of raindrops pelting against the roof through the closed window. The sky was dark because it was already nighttime, but the weight of the atmosphere still made her heart feel heavy and pressured. Suddenly, a sh of lightning bolted across the distant horizon. Vivian subconsciously shrank under the quilt and shivered as the thunder roared in the next instant. "Ah!" She gasped and covered her ears with her hands. She was the most afraid of thunderstorms like this. Although Chow had always hated her, he would still sneak into her room whenever there was a thunderstorm. Even if his ultimate purpose of doing that was for something else, Vivian still couldn''t help wishing that he would appear. The thunder cracked loudly around her. Fear was seeping into her bones, and there was nothing she could do about it. Vivian dove under the nkets, covering herself from head to toe. She shamefully wished that Chow was here to hold her now, even though he had just bullied her before this. The thunder was too terrifying. It seemed like only his embrace couldfort her. However, she knew that he would note today. Sister Celine was in his room now. Perhaps, he was also holding her intimately because of the thunder. Vivian''s heart ached again as she pictured the scene in her head. She curled up on the bed and held the quilt tightly in her hands, not daring to let go. Crack! Rumble! Boom! Vivian flinched and trembled at the deafening sound, incredibly near to tears. If she had a mirror, she would definitely have been able to see her deathly pale face. But now, she didn''t even have the courage to look into the mirror. Suddenly, Vivian felt someone pulling the quilt off her shivering body. The familiar feeling made her raise her head immediately. When she saw the tall figure standing by the window, she leapt into the man''s arms. "Brother Chow!" The person who lifted her nkets was none other than Chow. However, her excitement onlysted for a second. Vivian, feeling slightly better, asked him in a whisper, "W-Why are you here? Sister Celine will find out." She looked past Chow at the wooden door connecting to her wardrobe. She knew that Chow came from the interconnecting wardrobe they both shared. She must not have heard himing because she''d been hiding from the loud thunder under the covers. Chow''s face darkened when he heard her mention Celine. He lowered his head and grunted at Vivian, lifting her chin up. "Why are you still so worried about her when you''re shaking like a leaf?" Vivian''s lips trembled as she lowered her gaze shyly. "But, but..." Wasn''t he the one who didn''t want anybody else knowing about their twisted rtionship? Was the reason for hiding their rtionship not because he didn''t want Sister Celine to feel hurt? At the thought of this possibility, she shuddered violently again. She could feel the bitterness coursing from her chest all the way to her fingertips. Chow narrowed his eyes and suddenly pressed her down onto the bed. "Ah, Brother Chow!" Vivian''s cheeks turned a deep shade of red. She cried out in a low voice and grabbed Chow''s wrist. "Sister Celine is still there, please don''t do this!" Chapter 10: The Terrifying Fear Chapter 10: The Terrifying Fear Chow stared at her dangerously. There was a look in his eyes that did not allow him to be disobeyed. "You don''t have the right to say no. As long as I want it, you have to give it to me, even if other people are present." His eyes were clearly burning with passion, but his entire being emitted a dangerous aura that demanded obedience and submission. Vivian''s entire body was trembling. She wanted to hold on tightly to her shirt, but she just couldn''t do it. In front of him, she had never been able to resist at all. Chow seemed to be satisfied with her current submission. His hostile attitude toned down slightly. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. He lowered his head and grabbed Vivian''s lips. Their intimate proximity felt like a magical power drawing them uncontrobly closer to each other. Vivian had never been able to resist him. She started trembling in his arms. "Sister Celine will see us..." Noticing that she was getting distracted, anger shed across Chow''s face once more. He let out his anger by lowering his head and kissing her firmly on the lips. Before Vivian could say anything, Chow inhaled deeply and held her tightly in his arms. "D*mn it, if I hadn''t made that deal with you, I would never have to wait for your 20th birthday!" Learning that she had escaped unscathed again, Vivian sighed in relief and quietly nestled close to him. It was still thundering outside, but she didn''t feel scared anymore because this wicked man was with her. Was she really too shameless? The sky was still dark outside the window. Vivian slowly woke up from her tired slumber. There was some warmth left on the pillow, but the person who held her to sleep had disappeared. Perhaps, it was because she noticed his departure that she woke up so tiredly. The rumbling thunder had long stopped, and the terrifying, heart-shattering fear in her finally dissipated. Vivian reached out to hug the quilt in her arms, deeply sniffing the scent he left behind. Her heart started aching again. The reason why he left in the middle of the night was most probably that Sister Celine was still sleeping in his room. He had always belonged to Sister Celine, and there was no doubt about it. He only got involved with Vivan and treated her roughly simply out of revenge. How could she still fall in love with him? This self-destructive act wasughable in anyone''s eyes. But for her, she could taste a tiny bit of happiness throughout the bitterness that came with it. Maybe she shouldn''t call it happiness. Since falling in love with him, there was no way that she would ever find love or happiness in her life anymore. But this was also a little secret that nobody else would ever know, even if there was one day when he would be holding another woman''s shoulders forever. Vivian''s felt her heart squeezing tightly again. Chapter 11: The Terrifying Fear Chapter 11:The Terrifying Fear Because he''d left, even though she was feeling rather sleepy, she still couldn''t stop herself from getting up and turning on the tablemp on her desk. She then flipped open the pages of a thick notebook. It was just a normal notebook, but it held the biggest secret of her life. Right on the first page of the notebook, there was a sketch of a half-naked man sleeping in bed. The man had a calm and serene sleeping face,pletely different from the dangerous aura he emitted while awake. Maybe even Chow himself didn''t know that there was such a warm side to him when he slept in front of Vivian. If he knew, he would definitely not let himself sleep in front of her anymore. Vivian''s fingers gently stroked the face in the drawing. A soft smile unconsciously appeared on her face. It was only when she was looking at the notebook that she dared to show her true feelings. She would never do that in front of him. She was afraid of getting hurt if he got utterly disgusted with her. Vivian''s gaze did not stay on the first page for too long. She quickly flipped to the next page. She''d already filled more than half of the notebook with sketches of Chow. Some of them were of him standing, sitting, awake, and sleeping. Anyone would be able to see that the artist had strong feelings for the subject she sketched. She would probably never let him see this notebook, ever. If she did, she would no longer be able to hide her thoughts from him. Once he found out about her feelings for him, he would definitely kick her away because he didn''t want her to like him, and most importantly, because he knew that it would hurt her even more. Vivian''s felt herself trembling once more. She sighed softly and turned to the next page. Her eyes finally fixed on a pair of carefully sketched shoes, also drawn by her. Vivian''s drawing skills were exquisite. She was able to show the texture of the shoes by sketching alone. It was a pair of white wedding heels, with intricate crystal andce patterns forming a beautiful lily flower on the model''s feet. Matched with a suitable wedding dress, this pair of heels would definitely be a scene-stealer. However, they would never appear at any wedding, because this was a pair of wedding shoes that Vivian had designed herself... for her wedding to Chow. She knew that the wedding would only happen in her dreams. Vivian looked down as her eyes began to water. She''d written a few words next to the pair of wedding heels in pencil. "Foolish infatuation". She''d long forgotten when exactly she''d penned the words down, but even until now, she couldn''t help C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. but feel that the words described her situation perfectly. Whether it was her feelings for Chow or her dreams of marriage, it was nothing more than wishful thinking. Just an illusion. Chow would never belong to her. His heart belonged to Celine, and Celine alone. As for Vivian, apart from hatred and revenge, Chow probably wouldn''t have any other feelings for her. But when would his irrational revengee to an end? Vivian was afraid that she would be increasingly dependent on his "revenge" and end up falling even deeper for him. Chapter 12: The Terrifying Fear Chapter 12:The Terrifying Fear As for her, just being able to stay by his side was a gift in itself. If he still refused to let her go even after deciding to marry Sister Celine, wouldn''t she then be following in her mother''s footsteps and be a mistress who ruined a family''s happiness? How could she allow the same tragedy from thest generation to happen again? She didn''t want even his child to hate her in the future. Vivian sniffled as she wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and reached out to touch the pair of exquisite wedding shoes on the notebook before flipping to the next page. Apart from the portraits of Chow, there were also lots of shoe sketches littered everywhere in the notebook. Vivian''s dream was to be a qualified shoe designer. The reason for this dream was simple. It was because the Howard Group was well-known for its luxury shoe business. With hispany as her lifelong dream, perhaps it was just wishing for too much. However, after secretly dabbling in design, Vivian found that she really liked the feeling of the designs in her minding to life on paper. Every time she immersed herself in designing, ideas would also constantly emerge in her mind. Maybe she would actually have a chance to wear her creations one day. Now, looking at the pairs of intricate and exquisite shoes on the notebook, Vivian felt much better. Vivian flipped to thest page of the notebook with an unfinished pair of stilettos. The shoes had a type Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. of charm to them, looking like two butterflies just about to take off after a momentary rest on the otherwise nk page. Putting down her pencil, Vivian lifted the book and carefully looked at the stilettos under the light. At this moment, she suddenly heard a squeak behind her, it seemed that the door connecting to the wardrobe had just been opened. She quickly put down the notebook and turned her head to look behind her. As expected, Chow, who had disappeared the night before, suddenly appeared by the door with a cup of hot water in his hands. Chow showed little reaction to the panic on her face. He just rolled his eyeszily. "Did you wake up this early because you didn''t want me to leave?" Hearing his words, Vivian''s cheeks suddenly turned red. She shook her head in panic but didn''t know how to respond to him. It seemed that no matter how she responded to his question, it would still be an inappropriate answer. In desperation, she stammered softly, "It''s... It''s gettingte. Sister Celine will get suspicious if she wakes up and doesn''t see you." Upon hearing Celine''s name, Chow''s face abruptly fell. "What''s the matter?" he asked lividly. "Last night, you weren''t even afraid that she would wake up when you snuggled up to me, but now you''re feeling guilty?" Vivian''s cheeks turned pale and her lips trembled. "I... I didn''t..." "Didn''t do what? Didn''t snuggle up to me or didn''t feel guilty about it?" Chow snorted coldly. He took a sip of the hot water in his hands and deliberately licked his lips as he looked back at her, as if reminding her of the memories fromst night. Vivian''s heart trembled. She quickly lowered her head and dared not speak again. She knew that no matter what she said, he could twist her words whatever he liked. The best way to stop herself from getting dragged elsewhere was by keeping quiet. However, Chow was not pleased with her silence. He let out a low grunt, walked up to the desk, and shoved the cup of water against Vivian''s lips. Chapter 13: His Well-Dressed Appearance Chapter 13: His Well-Dressed Appearance Her lips, wet with moisture, glistened under the light. After she drank about half the cup of water, Chow suddenly put the cup aside and lifted her up from her seat. Vivian cried out in a soft voice and held onto his neck in a panic. "Brother Chow!" She paled as she shook her head nervously. "No, it''s gettingte!" "So what?" Chow''s eyes flickered impatiently. As long as he wanted her, he didn''t care whether it was day or night. Vivian trembled slightly. "Sister Celine... Sister Celine will find out," she said. Although she didn''t want to mention Celine''s name, she still had to remind him. She didn''t expect that her words would upset him again. Chow grunted coldly and let go of her. "Who would''ve thought that you''d be a bit better than your mother and know how to feel shameful!" Although Chow''s words were unpleasant, Vivian still found herself sighing in relief. Chow quickly noticed her rxed expression. The smile on his face was soon reced with disdain. "But just like your mother, you make me feel disgusted!" he said with a cold snort. Chow suddenly stood up and walked back into the wardrobe, mming the door loudly behind him. ... Bang! ... This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. The sound hit Vivian straight in the heart. When she woke up again, the sky was already bright. Looking at the bright sun outside the window, no one would think of the fallen flowers that had been torn apart by the stormst night. Vivian blinked her eyes softly, feeling confused. "Miss, if you don''t get up soon, you''ll bete for school." Aunt ine''s voice came from outside the door. Vivian suddenly came to her senses and looked at the rm clock on the bedside. She eximed loudly and quickly sat up from the bed. She had been so frightened by the storm that she''d forgotten to set the rm clockst night. No wonder she hadn''t heard any ringing sound since falling asleep. "I''ll be right there!" Vivian quickly pulled on her slippers and went into the bathroom to wash up. Then, she changed into the school uniform Aunt ine had prepared and left outside the door before going downstairs in a hurry. It was nearly an hourter than her usual waking time. Her ssmates had long felt dissatisfied with her skipping first period every day. If she waste for the next, she would inevitably get ridiculed. She had long been immune to their mocking, however, she still did not like the feeling of entering the ssroomte with everyone''s eyes on her. That was why Vivian headed right for the door with her schoolbag after rushing down the stairs instead of going into the dining hall as usual. But just as she turned around the corner, she felt a deep sense of regret in her heart. At that moment, Chow and Celine were both standing at the door, their mouths passionately interlocked together. Chow was also holding Celine tightly in his arms. If it weren''t for his well-dressed appearance, Vivian wouldn''t believe that he was actually preparing to go to work. "Miss, don''t be in such a hurry. Take your breakfast with you!" Vivian was still staring at the two people at the door when Aunt ine''s voice suddenly came from behind her. Chapter 14: His Well-Dressed Appearance Chapter 14: His Well-Dressed Appearance Vivian''s entire body trembled. The two people at the door stopped abruptly but showed no signs of shyness, although Celine still pretended to hide behind Chow. Aunt ine walked to Vivian''s side and naturally saw Chow and Celine as well. A look of disapproval immediately shed across her face. Aunt ine had lived with the Howard family for nearly half her life, and she was already over half a Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. century old. She''d practically watched Chow grow up in front of her eyes. Chow had never been close to his parents since he was young, but he had always respected Aunt ine. Although Aunt ine was just a helper to the Howard family, Chow had always treated her respectfully. Therefore, in this situation, although Aunt ine felt somewhat embarrassed, she was not as afraid of him as others were. She just held the bag of breakfast in her hand and apologised to him. "Young Master, I''m sorry." Although Aunt ine said sorry, everyone could hear the slight condemnation in her tone. "It''s fine." Chow didn''t care about her tone and didn''t even look at her. Instead, he stared at the silent Vivian. "What''s wrong with you, Miss? No time to eat breakfast today?" Vivian grabbed the straps of her backpack and said nothing. Aunt ine naturally responded for her. "Yes, Miss Vivian got up a littlete today, so I''m letting her bring breakfast on the way." "Is that so?" Chowughed in a low voice. He licked the corners of his lips meaningfully and whispered, "Looks like she was really scaredst night." Hearing his words, Vivian''s breath hitched. She couldn''t help thinking of the reason why she was so scaredst night. Her face turned impably red. Vivian held onto her backpack straps tighter, her nails digging painfully into her palms. She really didn''t want to speak, but she was running incrediblyte and blurted out, "I''m going to be As she spoke, she reached for the breakfast in Aunt ine''s hand. However, Vivian was intercepted by another hand that snatched the breakfast away. It was Chow. Vivian, Celine, and Aunt ine were all stunned. "Chow..." Celine had already tidied up her clothes. Seeing Chow react this way, she reached out for his arm as if to remind him of her existence. Chow furrowed his brows before smiling at her. "Go to work first. I''ll send Vivian to school since she''s Vivian was already in her final year of high school and was going to sit for her college entrance exams soon. Her studies were very important. Because of Chow, Vivian often skipped study hall in the mornings and evenings. However, regr sses still started very early in the day, even before normal office hours. This was why she was so anxious that Chow was still standing at the door with Celine. However, when did Chow be so kind? Since when did he even care whether she waste or not? Celine was starting to get suspicious. However, she couldn''t ask Chow about it in front of Vivian. So, she just put her hand down and nodded meekly. "Of course, Vivian''s studies are more important. Go ahead and take her to school first." What she said sounded somewhat normal at first, but one could detect the hint of dissatisfaction in Celine''s words if they paid attention to it. Vivian was already feeling extremely ufortable with Chow''s behaviour. She really didn''t want him to send her to school. "I..." However, Vivian''s voice froze when she saw the look in Chow''s eyes. Chapter 15: Im Sorry, Brother Chow Chapter 15: I''m Sorry, Brother Chow From the warning look in his eyes, Vivian knew that if she refused him this time, she would be in serious trouble. Chow never allowed her to go against any of his wishes. Vivian pinched her palms again before lowering her head to wait in silence. Celine was not aware of the slight changes in Vivian''s expression. When she saw that Vivian didn''t protest, the smile on her lips disappeared. "Let''s go." Chow opened the door and walked out. Vivian knew that this would make Celine upset, but she had no other choice. She quickly nodded at her and ran out after Chow. In the blink of an eye, only Celine and Aunt ine were left at the door. It was terrible being the one who was left behind. Celine''s face immediately heated up in anger as she tightly clenched her fists. "Miss Celine, do you need a ride?" Aunt ine asked with an expressionless face. She was used to Chow''s weird behaviour whenever Vivian was around. Even if she thought that something was amiss, she still didn''t want any outsiders to know how she felt. Hearing Aunt ine''s words, Celine suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly unclenched her fists and smiled at her. "Yes, please. I arrived with Chowst night and have no transport of my own. Sorry for troubling you, Aunt ine." With Celine''s status, she was reluctant to treat a servant so kindly. However, she had no choice. She had seen how well Chow treated Aunt ine whilst dating him. Before she sessfully married into the Howard family, she would not be so stupid as to offend Aunt ine. "In that case, please wait at the corner outside. I''ll ask Miss Vivian''s driver to pick you up." Usually, Vivian had a designated driver to chauffeur her to school and back. Since Chow decided to take her to school today, there was nothing else for her driver to do anyway. "Thank you, Aunt ine," Celine said, smiling and nodding at her. She then pushed open the door and walked out gracefully. Outside, both Chow and Vivian had long disappeared. Celine looked at the empty road and couldn''t help clenching her teeth in frustration. Why did she feel that the rtionship between Chow and Vivian was not as simple as he said? Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. If he really hated her as he said, why did he willingly leave his girlfriend behind to send her to school? Was she thinking too much into it? Celine frowned. She had worked too hard for too long to secure a ce in Chow''s heart. No matter what happened, she would never hand over the title of Mrs. Howard to anyone else. She must be thinking too much. How could that little b*tch Vivian evenpete with her? It was impossible. Vivian ran after Chow all the way to his car. However, as soon as she was arriving, she halted in her footsteps. Once she got in the car, Chow would surely do whatever he wanted to do to her behind the heavily tinted car windows. The fear made her temporarily forget that she was going to be veryte for school. Panic was written all over her face. Chow''s face had darkened since leaving Aunt ine. When he sensed that she was deliberately avoiding him again, he was enraged. In the end, Chow took out most of his anger on the car. He got in and mmed the door loudly. Vivian flinched in fright. She knew that she would make him even angrier if she continued avoiding him like this. She hurried over to the side, opened the door, and slid cautiously into the backseat. Vivian smoothened out her skirt and waited for Chow to start driving. As soon as she lifted her head, her eyes suddenly met with Chow''s furious gaze. Chapter 16: Im Sorry, Brother Chow Chapter 16:I''m Sorry, Brother Chow "Do you think I''m your personal chauffeur?" Chow asked with a murderous look in his eyes. Vivian quickly shook her head repeatedly. "No, I don''t! It''s not like that!" Her submissive attitude eased the frown on Chow''s face, but he still spoke sternly to her. "Sit in the front!" "Yes," Vivian said tensely as she nodded. It was true that Chow wasn''t her chauffeur. It would be inappropriate for her to sit at the back. However, she knew what would happen if she sat in the front. Vivian chewed her lower lip and reached for the door handle. Just as she was about to open the door, Chow suddenly stopped her. "Wait." Vivian stopped moving and looked hopefully at him. Was he going to let her stay in the back after all? Chow knew what she was thinking. His lips curled into a sinister smile. "Don''t use the door. Crawl over from the middle." As he said that, he nced at Vivian''s knee-length school uniform. Vivian subconsciously closed her legs as her lips trembled. "I..." Sensing her hesitation and embarrassment, Chow''s eyes suddenly red up again. "Hurry up!" he yelled impatiently. Vivian shivered and held onto her arms. "Okay," she said softly. Even if she agreed, she was still going to do it slowly. Vivian got up from her seat and struggled through the gap between the two front seats. It was extremely difficult because the tiny gap was also taken up by hand rests and a multi-purpose box. Even with Vivian''s thin body, she still struggled to get to the front, especially with Chow''s deliberate teasing. Moreover, because of the pervert sitting next to her, she had to climb over while holding her skirt down, worried that she''d identally sh him. Her guesses were correct. Halfway through, Chow''s eyes suddenly darkened. Vivian quickly grew aware of his zing eyes on her. As soon as she met with his gaze, Vivian let out a gasp and covered her chest with her hands. Without any support, she lost her bnce and fell forward face first. Just as she was about tond on her face, Chow swiftly reached out and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her body close to his, their space limited by the steering wheel in the driver''s seat. Vivian could feel the heat radiating off his chest through their clothes. Vivian subconsciously ced both her hands against Chow''s chest. However, the space was so narrow that she could only stay in Chow''s embrace. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. She looked away in embarrassment and tried to wriggle out of his arms. "Brother Chow, I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to!" Unexpectedly, Chow suddenly let go of her so she fell back against the passenger seat in a fluster. Vivian was slightly shocked. She looked at him in surprise. Chow didn''t look at her. Instead, he started up the car and turned onto the driveway. Since Vivian had just fallen onto the passenger seat, she hadn''t fastened her seatbelt yet. When he turned the corner, she almost tumbled out of her seat. However, she didn''t dare to say anything. She climbed back into her seat, grabbed her backpack from the back, and fastened her seatbelt quietly. Chapter 17: Weak Protests Chapter 17: Weak Protests She was already running veryte. Now, with Chow teasing her like this, her hopes to arrive at school on time waspletely shattered. However, after going through a roller-coaster of emotions just now, she didn''t care if she waste anymore. Vivian held her backpack tightly. Subconsciously, she was using the small backpack as a shield to protect herself. Chow''s expression was uncertain as his sharp gaze stared straight ahead. Even though she was not the centre of his attention anymore, Vivian still felt the strong aggression radiating from his body. It made her feel suffocated in the small car. The road ahead seemed too long. Vivian never knew that a ten-minute journey to school could be so ufortable. This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org. She felt relieved when she finally saw the school gates ahead. She held her backpack tightly again and got ready to alight from the car. However, she didn''t expect Chow to drive her directly into the school grounds. "Brother Chow, you can drop me off here." Although sses had already started, Vivian still dared not to be too high-profile. She had been attending this school even before living with the Howard family. However, she had no idea where the students heard of the rumour that her mother was a mistress. Ever since then when she was in junior high, Vivian had been despised by everyone. That was why she still dared not unt in front of the others even though she had been with the Howard family for two years because of Uncle Dn''s will. Usually, when the driver sent her to school, she always asked him to drop her off two streets away. Even so, there were still rumours going around that her mother was nothing but a gold-digger. Now that Chow had sent her straight into campus, she really couldn''t imagine how much worse the rumours would get. There was only one month left before the college entrance examinations. She didn''t want the other students to use the remaining time to spread more rumours about her. However, she had no control over Chow''s behaviour. He just turned a deaf ear to her words, driving the car directly to the office building before unlocking the doors for her. Although Vivian was surprised that Chow would park his car under the office building, she was still grateful. She wouldn''t need to be afraid that her ssmates would see her from their windows if he dropped her off here. Vivian secretly heaved a sigh of relief, unfastened her seat belt, and quickly opened the door to get out. Suddenly, she froze in her actions. She never thought that she would run into the mathematics representative who was just leaving the office building with everyone''s homework. Vivian stole a nce behind her in reflex. The girl was also stunned, but when she saw the luxury car behind her, a scornful sneer appeared on her lips. Vivian suddenly felt that there was nowhere to hide from the rep''s contemptuous eyes. She felt her cheeks starting to burn. She knew what the other person was thinking. If she had a normal rtionship with Chow, she could probably still ignore her disdain and walk ahead with her head held high. However, she had done shameful things with Chow. There was no escaping the harsh reality that she was struggling to break away from. She was suffocating, yet she had no energy left in her to break free. Maybe, all she had right now was just because of Chow''s lust for her body. She didn''t know how to refuse his advances. Perhaps she''d been rooted in her spot for far too long ¡ª Chow opened the driver''s door and got out of the car as well. As soon as the girl saw Chow, her expression changed instantly. Her contempt towards Vivian
