As she watched Liam finish his call outside, she then exited the car and walked over."This is Italy cuisine," he said, his voice slightly cold and low, like a cello."Ah." Suzy was a bit surprised. Did this mean that Liam remembered they were deskmates in junior high school? Or perhaps... he had known from the beginning.Standing next to Liam, Suzy couldn't help but feel like an odd fit. He looked distinguished in his sharp suit, clearly someone of high status, while she couldn't shake the feeling that her face might as well have had "employee" written all over it.As they entered the restaurant and took their seats, Suzy began to feel increasingly uneasy.What should she do in this situation? She couldn't just bring up memories from junior high, could she?In contrast to her awkwardness, Liam seemed to treat her like a friend he saw every day. He adjusted his shirt cuffs with his long, slender fingers, and then signaled the waiter to order a few dishes."Are you the one who is

Suzy felt as if lightning had struck her, and even John seemed momentarily stunned.John had been with Liam for a long time and had never seen him with any women. The fact that Liam had instructed him to purchase such items left no room for misunderstanding!"Alright, Mr. Park."Hearing this conversation, Suzy's face flushed, but in Liam's presence, she couldn't afford to appear overly hesitant. So, she feigned composure and diverted her gaze out of the window.She thought about it carefully beforehand and had agreed to Liam’s request willingly. Acting coy might only lead to him losing interest. After all, she didn't actually have a boyfriend. In the face of undeniable wealth and power, clinging to outdated ideals served no purpose! In simpler terms, it was a consensual agreement – he would provide the financial support, and she would pay him back with physical means.For now, the top priority was keeping Liam content. This way, at least in the short term, she wouldn't have to worry a

However, she didn't forget her responsibilities. After some thought, she said, "I'll make breakfast tomorrow."After all, there was no reason for a benefactor to serve her, right?Liam chuckled lightly, dressed in a dark loungewear, exuding a hint of laziness. He walked over, pulled out a chair at the dining table, and sat down. "You don't need to be so formal. After today's registration, you are legally my wife."Seeing him being so forthright, Suzy decided not to beat around the bush and asked directly, "Mr. Park, how long is the duration of our marriage contract? Should we consider signing an agreement?"After all, this was a business transaction, and she needed to set a timeframe for herself. In case Liam mentioned a duration that was too long, she needed to think about it carefully. It was to everyone’s knowledge that men possessed a substantial amount of time during which they could be considered eligible. When Liam got his divorce certificate, he would still be a highly sought-

Throughout the journey, Clive kept chattering about their childhood anecdotes, but not a single word made its way into Liam's ears.Upon arriving at the company, he didn't even bid Clive goodbye; he simply took the CEO's private elevator straight up to his office."Mr. Park, regarding the copyright infringement lawsuit against Golden State Corporation, do you need to hire a few more lawyers to deal with it?" His secretary knocked on the door and came in with some documents. "It's said that they've hired internationally renowned attorneys."Liam raised his hand to adjust his golden-edged glasses, completely unaffected, and signed his name at the bottom of the document with a pen. "No need. Leave the legal matters to Miss Burns when she returns. She will have full responsibility.""Is Miss Burns coming back to the head office?" The secretary's tone, which had just been somewhat worried, immediately lightened. "That's great. Golden State Corporation will sure lose this case with her h

Seeing the exhaustion on her daughter's face, Melissa sighed deeply. "I'm sorry, it's my fault for burdening you!"She realized she shouldn't have constantly nurtured her daughter's fear of men. After all, Suzy would eventually find someone to marry. But she couldn't help it. She was anxious, worried that her daughter might make another wrong choice and end up getting hurt."No need to apologize, Mom. After your successful surgery, the doctor said you might even start walking again. Then you have to make me some shortcakes. I've been craving them.""Alright." Melissa nodded, and then she thought of something. "Please ask your boyfriend to come over. I want to meet him."Suzy hesitated, turned her face away, and started peeling an apple. "He's very busy with work and has lots of things to handle at the company.""Your father was busy back then too...""Mom!" Suzy gently interrupted, "Not everyone is like him."At least Suzy's intuition told her that Liam wasn't that kind of person. To M

"Alright."It was uncertain whether he was drunk or not. Nevertheless, he managed to lift her and carry her to the bedroom with ease. However, if he wasn't drunk, this impulsive behavior from the young man before her was a far cry from Liam's usual composed and almost indifferent demeanor.Suzy felt like she had been drinking, her surroundings spinning, and time stretching endlessly. Even the lights on the ceiling seemed to sway along with her disorientation. Eventually, she couldn't bear it any longer and shifted her gaze to the tattoo on his collarbone, sinking her teeth into it with determination.Liam stopped moving when he felt the pain."I'm sorry, I...”"Mr. Park, can today be the last time, please?" Her voice was husky, with a hint of a pleading, coquettish tone.Liam didn't answer, but after this round, he got up and headed to the bathroom.Suzy thought to herself that she had found Liam's pause button. She had bitten the tattoo just now in desperation to remind him to thin

Suzy slept for only three hours that night. The next day when she woke up, Liam had already left. The breakfast he had prepared was sitting on the dining table, still steaming hot, with a note placed beside it."I'm on a business trip. I will be back next week." Suzy looked at the note, then at the breakfast on the table. She couldn't reconcile the caring Liam she had encountered in private with the cold and distant persona she knew from the office!At home, he could be described as gentle. Even last night, despite his excessive demands, his actions were gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her. If it weren't for that string of tattoos, she would almost have the illusion that Liam had feelings for her!All of a sudden, Suzy began to feel jealous towards the woman Liam had held in his heart for so long, or at least, that's how she felt at that moment.Upon arriving at the office, Suzy immediately began working on the loan application after the morning meeting.Around noon, Desm

With his stern reminder, Suzy snapped back to reality.Yes, why would she assume that Liam would favor her loan application just because they had been intimate? She had to remember that he paid for her services, and involving emotions in a monetary transaction was crossing the line."I'm sorry, Mr. Park, for bothering you."Suzy didn't wait for him to respond any further and quickly hung up. The words "overestimating oneself" stung as if she had been slapped four times across the face.Outside, Desmond had received the notification as well, and he stormed into her office, his temper flaring."I told you it wouldn't work, right? Suzy, who do you think you are? You asked me to trust you, and I did. What now?!"Hearing his reprimand, Wendy hurriedly rushed over, clutching documents and stood in front of Suzy, speaking up on her behalf. "Mr. Shaw, Suzy is having a hard time taking care of her sick mother. Can't you be a bit more understanding?""Understanding? Who's going to underst

This statement could easily be misunderstood.Noticing the sudden defensiveness in Suzy's eyes, Liam softened his tone, abandoning his aggressive stance and returning to his usual gentlemanly warmth."It's just a dinner.""And then you'll let me see B7?""Yes."Suzy had no other options.She crossed the street to Jeffrey's car and tapped on the window.Before she could speak, Jeffrey anxiously said, "Suzy, I can't reach B7 anymore!""Liam took him.""...Then I'll go confront Liam!"Suzy quickly stopped him. "He's been acting strangely today. Don't provoke him! Confronting Liam head-on isn't wise. You should go home. I'll handle him.""You want me to leave you alone with Liam? He just—""Jeff, I'm so close to the truth! I can't afford any setbacks.""But if Liam finds out why you're meeting B7, he'll definitely intercept the evidence! Do you really think he'll choose you over his parents?"Of course not.Even Suzy understood that Liam would likely protect his parents.As their son, it w
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 429: You Won’t Want to Know the Truth
Suzy remembered the last time she heard him say those words was when Melissa insisted she bring a boyfriend to the hospital.His tone then was just like now—gentle, heartfelt, as if he wanted to drown her in his affection…Unfortunately, the first time, she didn't trust his love.And this second time… she couldn't believe he would turn against his own family."Liam, you won't want to know the truth.""I do." Liam gently cradled her face, his eyes firm and unwavering. "Suzy, tell me."He didn't want Suzy to push him away whenever something happened. He didn't want to be left to investigate everything on his own. He wanted to be her support, to hear her out, whether it was bitterness, grievances, or anger, and then face it together.Countless possibilities flashed through Suzy's mind, and finally, as if waking from a dream, she pushed Liam forcefully."The truth is, I hate you, and I hate everyone in your family. I want you to stay away from me! I've fallen in love with Jeffrey and—"Her

Suzy couldn’t bring herself to continue. After tasting the blood, she stopped biting and merely struggled, unable to bear hurting him again.It wasn't until Jeffrey came over and punched Liam on the shoulder that he finally stepped back from Suzy. Liam staggered a few steps, just barely managing to regain his balance as Jeffrey, consumed by anger, readied himself to strike again.Seeing this, Suzy quickly intervened to stop Jeffrey."Jeff, don't! Don't fight!"He halted his fist just in time, looking at Suzy.Her lips were visibly red and slightly bloody, showing how intense Liam's kiss had been.It was clear this was a deliberate display."Suzy, he bullied you!""No, he didn't! Jeff, go back to the car. I'll come to you in a moment!"Suzy couldn't let them actually start fighting because Jeffrey was no match for Liam.Whether in strength or background..."Suzy!"Jeffrey, feeling infuriated, looked up at Liam standing a short distance from Suzy.Liam wiped the blood from his lips with
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 427: Liam’s Aggressive Kiss
Previously, Liam hadn't continued investigating the death of Suzy's mother because he believed Suzy and Jeffrey were happily together. As an outsider, he thought intervening would only make Suzy resent him more.At that time, he truly wanted to let go of Suzy, start over, and completely say goodbye to the past.Based on these reasons, Liam didn't pursue the matter.But clearly, he was wrong—terribly wrong!He had taken 99 steps toward Suzy, only to halt just shy of the hundredth!...Unaware of all this, Suzy was busy organizing her materials, eagerly anticipating her meeting with Jeffrey to see B7 after work.Having finally managed to contact this elusive network hacker, she couldn't afford to miss the opportunity.Even if Liam canceled her entire month's salary, she had to go tonight.It had taken her four years of earning and saving money and seeking contacts to reach B7.She needed the restored surveillance footage to uncover the truth about her mother's death. She knew she had onl

Liam's voice carried a hint of helplessness, starkly contrasting his usual demeanor.Seeing him like this, Arthur felt a pang of discomfort. After some thought, he tentatively reached out and grasped a few of Liam's fingers.Liam's eyes shot up to meet his.What did this gesture mean?Arthur was acknowledging what Liam had just said!He was confirming Liam's suspicions.When Liam spoke again, his throat felt tight, and his voice trembled. "She... she's really your mother, isn't she?"Arthur instinctively wanted to play dumb, but he knew that his acting skills couldn't fool Liam. Moreover, the sadness and disappointment in Liam's eyes seemed genuine.After a few seconds of contemplation, Arthur decided to stop resisting. "You mustn't tell her I told you."Liam's entire body stiffened. Despite all his suspicions, hearing the truth confirmed left him shocked and speechless.Suzy... she had given him a child...No!Not just one!"You have a sister too, and she's my child as well?"Arthur

Liam furrowed his brows and turned to face her directly, their gazes locking."I am not lying to you."His eyes were so intense, so sincere as if they were trying to draw Suzy in completely!She began to regret bringing up this conversation with Liam, realizing she was now in a situation she couldn't easily escape.Suzy cleared her throat, feigning calmness, and averted her gaze. "Mr. Park, let's talk about work.""Alright, let's talk about work," Liam agreed readily. "You're working overtime today.""Liam—"Suzy was so angry she was grinding her teeth. "What exactly do you want? You said you hated me when we divorced. What, has the high and mighty Mr. Park decided to go back on his word and, after being dumped once, still intends to shamelessly pursue me?"Her words must have stung, as Liam's handsome face paled, and a hint of rationality returned to his eyes.He had been thrown off balance by Jeffrey's phone call.Hearing Suzy so affectionately tell Jeffrey to pick her up after work

Seeing Arthur like this, Suzy knew she had to play along. "Mr. Park, I'll wait outside then. Let's not upset the child."She expected some reaction from Liam, but he merely nodded. "Alright."Suzy turned and left Easter Bay, feeling increasingly uneasy about Liam's attitude, though she couldn't pinpoint exactly why.If he brought her to see Arthur to test her, why hadn't he done anything suspicious? He had gone straight to the kitchen to cook upon arriving home!What hidden trap could she have missed?With a restless heart, Suzy waited in the car for a while before seeing Liam come out of the house carrying a paper bag.Once in the car, he handed the bag to Suzy."I packed this for you.""No need, skipping one meal won't hurt me. I'll eat after work."Liam glanced at her, his thin lips moving slightly. "You'll be working late tonight, I’ll triple your pay."Hearing about overtime, Suzy quickly protested, "I can't tonight, I have plans!"Jeffrey had finally helped her arrange a meeting

"...I-I don't know what you're talking about!"Liam leaned down, his handsome face getting close to hers. "Then what do you mean by ‘leave bite marks’?"Suzy immediately averted her gaze, pretending to be calm. "Are you saying that you and your wife are in a sexless marriage? We're both adults; do I really need to spell it out?""Heh." Liam suddenly laughed. "You're blushing."Suzy was at a loss for words.She looked at the man in front of her as if she didn't recognize him anymore!When did Liam become so shameless?"Since you're already out of the car, come in and have something to eat."After saying that, Liam didn't give her a chance to refuse and walked away.Suzy stood there for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then followed him.She could only hope that Arthur wouldn’t give anything away when he saw her......As soon as the door opened, she saw Arthur lounging on the sofa, playing with his computer.He knew his "lunch" had arrived as soon as he heard the noise!

A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 422: Liam Eavesdropped on Suzy
She realized Liam had a calculated plan for bringing her back to Park Group. On day one, he was already rushing to take her to see Arthur to test her!Recognizing this, Suzy reminded herself to be cautious around this man; who knew where the traps might be?She hoped that when she saw Arthur, she wouldn't give anything away!And... she also wanted to see her son, at least to know how he was doing!"You don't seem surprised that I have a son," Liam suddenly said.Suzy quickly snapped back to reality, shrugged, and acted indifferent. "Should I be surprised? We've been divorced for over four years. You're a normal man. Getting remarried and having children is normal, right?""I announced my marriage this year.""Oh, congratulations!"She had no desire to continue this conversation.Nor did she want to discuss Liam's new wife! That would remind her of the bite marks on his shoulder!"I thought you might be curious."Suzy forced a professional smile. "Mr. Park, we're here for work! This isn
