"I'm not playing around.""But you shouldn't take Suzy seriously! Mrs. Park has already decided that you will marry Sophia. Aren't you afraid of upsetting her again? Even if Sophia doesn't have a place in your heart, what about Mrs. Park? She's your biological mother."Liam didn't respond, just pursed his lips tightly.He stood tall, partially obscured by the darkness.The light outside the emergency room suddenly went out, and a doctor emerged, removing the mask from his face."Who's the family member of Sophia Burns?"Clive immediately walked over. "I am! How is she?""The patient had excessive bleeding due to the surgical wound tearing. It has been re-sutured, and she will be out soon.""So, she's not in any life-threatening condition?""Well, she still needs to be closely monitored. After all, it's an abdominal surgery. If it leads to an infection, it could be problematic." After saying this, the doctor left.Clive breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that she was okay.Turning a
If those she cared about didn't believe her, it was pointless even if others were to believe her.“At times, I truly admire Suzy. She manages to keep Liam’s heart tightly locked towards her, whereas I seem oblivious and solely focused on assisting him with his career.”"He will appreciate your kindness sooner or later. Besides, with Mrs. Park supporting you, what's there to fear? With Suzy's status, she'll never step foot into the Park family and will never be recognized by the Parks!"Sophia didn't say anything, but she understood better than Clive that the only way to restrict Liam at this point was to please his mother! Liam couldn't possibly ignore his mother in the end and insist on being with Suzy! ...After leaving Sophia's office, Suzy went directly to the paternity testing center that Wendy had recommended to her.Normally, such a violation of protocol wouldn't be allowed, but luckily Wendy had helped her plead her case.After arranging everything, Suzy received a call from
Liam finally released Suzy's lips, leaving her breathless. Her lipstick was smudged from their kiss, giving her flushed lips a heated appearance."Suzy, back in junior high, I thought you were quite clever." Suzy kept quiet at his comment.Liam lifted his hand to tousle her hair. "I have a meeting. We'll talk more at home tonight." He was prepared to leave.Suzy hurriedly asked, "Um, how is Sophia doing now?" Despite being the one who pushed her, Suzy still couldn’t stop thinking about the matter due to all the blood she witnessed."Don’t worry, she’s fine.”“Alright.”Watching him disappear into the office, Suzy couldn't help but wonder what Liam meant by his earlier words. He said they were married, and his relationship with Sophia was merely superior-subordinate. It seemed like he was stating his stance regarding Sophia to her. However... He still had the 0825 tattooed on him, and he still used Sophia's initials for the entrance password. Could it be that Liam suddenly real
"My son has always had an obsession with cleanliness and never liked anyone entering his room before. It seems like his personality has changed a lot over the past few years."Grace changed her shoes and strolled into the room, casting a quick glance around. Suzy's heart skipped a beat as she noticed her clothes in Liam's bedroom...Fortunately, Grace knew her son valued privacy and personal space, so she just sat down on the living room sofa without venturing further.Suzy quickly poured her a glass of water and brought it over, resembling a servant.After all, she had previously worked as a personal assistant before, so serving someone was something she was used to doing."Thank you." Grace smiled. "Carry on with your work, you don't need to mind me. I'll just wait here for my son.""Sure thing, Mrs. Park."As Suzy was about to leave, Grace stopped her again. "Hey, can I ask how long you've been working here?""Not long, about two months.""Have you ever seen my son bring any girls h
Suzy instinctively covered her heart with her hand.She asked herself.Did she invest her feelings in him?"Hello? Suzy?" Wendy called out to her several times from the other end.Suzy snapped out of her thoughts. "I'm here.""Promise me, you won’t go for a man who is already in love with someone else okay?”She smiled and lowered her eyelashes. "Yeah, okay."…As Alec was handling the tasks in New Valley, and since Liam couldn't make it there, he remained occupied at the company until nine o'clock in the evening.Seated in the car, Liam unfastened the top button of his shirt and loosened his tie with his slender fingers."Mr. Park, are you heading back to Easter Bay?" John asked, turning to him."Yeah," he replied, then remembered something. "Did you drop her off?""Yes, Miss Chase is at Easter Bay."At the thought of Suzy, Liam smiled slightly.This woman continuously brought up his relationship with Sophia. If he were to look at it from a different perspective, did that mean she car
If it weren't for Sophia insisting on giving Liam some time, Grace, who had always been headstrong, would have wanted to announce their marriage openly.Seeing her son remaining quiet, she finally issued an ultimatum."Before the end of this year, you must be engaged to Sophia! If you're too busy with work, I'll take care of everything."...In the hotel, Suzy and Wendy chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.After years of being busy with work, it seemed like she hardly ever had moments of leisure like this.Looking at the ceiling, she recalled Sophia's words and remembered her resentful expression at that time. Sophia acted like Suzy was the one who stole their father since childhood.The mother and daughter were adept at playing this game of accusing others.With a wry smile, Suzy had just picked up her phone when she saw a voice message from Jeffrey.After hesitating for a moment, she chose to answer."Suzy, I have good news! My friend has been helping you trace the number
Suzy blinked for a few seconds before nodding. "Um, yes she did."Liam stretched his long legs and walked straight into the hotel room, closing the door behind him.Despite having many intimate moments with Liam before, Suzy still felt a bit flustered when Liam unexpectedly cornered and enveloped her in his distinct presence."What are you doing?" "Don't listen to those words."Looking into his eyes, Suzy surprisingly sensed anxiety!"...It's none of my business." She tried to create some distance between herself and Liam. Being this close made it hard for her to breathe.But Liam seemed to deliberately close the gap every time she tried to move away.Finally, she heard him let out a shallow sigh."My mom, she was kidnapped once and went through a period of self-isolation after being rescued, which led to severe depression and frequent suicidal tendencies."Suzy hadn't expected Grace to have gone through all that! When Suzy saw Grace earlier, she thought Grace had a cheerful and tal
Suzy pondered over the sentence repeatedly before finally grasping its meaning."So, you weren't drunk?!" Liam couldn't help but chuckle at her response.Wasn't his actions obvious enough? How could she fail to see his intentions?"Yes, I was completely sober when I knocked on your door that night.""But… but, don't you have someone you like?" Suzy found it difficult to speak.She had seen the interview clip that Wendy sent her, where Liam confessed to having feelings for one woman!"Can't that person be you?"Suzy froze at his reply.What did Liam mean by this, was he confessing to her?"From the very start, when I received your text and knocked on your door, to proposing the marriage agreement, everything was carefully thought out."When he spotted Suzy in the midst of the business travelers, he had already been devising a plan to approach her.Later, when he received her text and guessed that she was rather drunk, he hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to take advantage of
