A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 189: Don’t Be So Good to Me
"Miss Burns, do you have any comments?" Liam interjected before Suzy could speak, his tall figure shielding her completely.His posture seemed to suggest that if Sophia dared to insult Suzy further, he was ready to intervene physically.In Liam's presence, Sophia naturally couldn't continue her haughty behavior.She furrowed her brows slightly, looking up at Liam, "Don't forget the promise you made to your father."After that, Sophia turned and walked away.She left those words hanging, and surprisingly, Suzy did not pursue the matter."I've finished up; let's go home," Liam said."Okay."Liam didn’t call for a driver; instead, he personally drove them back to Easter Bay.On the way, they stopped to buy some vegetables and fruits, and after arriving home, they busied themselves in the kitchen and had a simple dinner.Near the end of the meal, Suzy hesitated with her fork in hand and suddenly said, "You should take back the project account and password you gave me. It would make your pa

After finishing the meeting, Liam quietly pushed open the bedroom door, careful not to wake Suzy.However, he found her still awake, working late into the night at her computer.He frowned slightly and quietly approached to look at the data and reports on her screen. "Is the workload I've given you too heavy?"Suzy jumped, startled. "When did you get here? I didn't see you.""Just now, you were very focused." Liam sat at the end of the bed. "I'll ask Alec to lighten your load.""No need! I asked him to delegate these tasks to me." While speaking, Suzy did not stop her work, "I've been resting recently, and he's probably been too busy to sleep. Now that I've taken some of the workload, it should give him a chance to breathe.""But you need to work overtime every day to handle all this.""It won't be for long, just a week at most."Suzy marked the documents one by one, saved them, and finally closed her computer with a sigh of relief. "Don't worry about me, I know my own limits."Despit

Liam didn't reply to him. He simply deleted the message and opened the window before lighting a cigarette using the lighter.Top of FormAfter calming himself, he showered and returned to the bedroom, embracing the already asleep Suzy.In moments like these, he felt a sense of reality that Suzy was truly his....The next morning, Suzy was awakened by her alarm clock.As she had to accompany Alec today for some due diligence, she needed to prepare the documents and such at the company in advance.She had thought she would wake up earlier than Liam, but when she opened her eyes, he was already up, preparing breakfast in the kitchen.Stretching, she walked over in her slippers. "Liam, sometimes I think you don't need to sleep at all."Liam was frying eggs, turning his handsome face to glance at her and smiled. "I'm used to it. I haven't slept more than six hours since graduation.""Being a CEO is really tough." Suzy realized.She used to think that being the one giving orders was the mos

As Liam's car disappeared from view, Suzy turned with a smile, heading back to her office.When suddenly, Sophia appeared out of nowhere, her high heels clicking on the ground as she approached Suzy step by step.Suzy wanted to avoid getting involved with Sophia; she had a lot of work to do and couldn't afford to deal with Sophia every day."You don't need to avoid me. Today will be the last time I'll talk to you alone."Sophia wore a floral perfume, its scent distinct as she drew closer.Suzy disliked the smell.She stepped back. "What do you want to say?""Stay away from Liam, or you'll face consequences you can't handle."Sophia's words carried an implicit threat.Though her tone wasn't loud or fierce, somehow, it weighed heavily on Suzy."What are you trying to do? Miss Burns, you and your mother took away the family that should have been mine, I haven't done anything to hurt you so far. But instead, you're trying to frame and blackmail me. Don't think for a moment that I'm an easy

His simple WhatsApp message instantly dissolved all of Suzy's fatigue and worries from the day.Perhaps this was the power of love, no wonder everyone longed for it."Alright, take care out there too.""Okay."After putting down her phone, Suzy took a bath to relax.After changing into her home clothes, she instinctively checked when her period was due.Before married life, her periods were often late due to work stress or life pressures, so she wasn't panicked or overly worried, thinking this delay was probably due to the pileup of events affecting her health.However, her period was often late by only three or five days at most.It seemed she really should visit the hospital sooner rather than later!Suddenly, the doorbell rang.Suzy rushed to open the door, and indeed, it was John, carrying a variety of bags, both large and small, indicating a generous selection."I'm just one person, I can't eat all this!""Mr. Park was worried there might be something you won’t like to eat, so he

Liam chuckled softly after a pause, "Alright, you wait for me."After hanging up the phone, Suzy quickly ate some food and carefully stored the rest in the fridge.Even though Liam was wealthy, she didn't believe in his wasting food.With everything in order, she glanced at her phone again; Liam had sent a photo three minutes ago. It was a picture of him in the car.He must have been truly exhausted, so unlike his usual impeccably dressed self, Liam had loosened the top two buttons of his shirt. His tall figure reclined in the back seat, and the digits of his tattoo were faintly visible.Not used to taking selfies, his handsome face bore a stiff smile, tinged with a boyish shyness and bewilderment.Suzy saved the photo and then sent him a message to drive slowly and safely.Not one to waste time, Suzy opened her laptop to handle some project work while waiting for Liam. The material procurement contract from the partner had arrived, and with a major turnover in the legal department fo

Suzy knew what he was thinking, so she gently placed her hand on the back of his."I'm not tired. I feel like this is what gives my life value."Although she knew she could never truly match Liam's status through her own efforts, she didn't want anyone to say she was with him just for his money.That would be no different from being kept as his sugar baby."Alright, just make sure not to overwork.""I will, don't worry."After Liam went to freshen up and changed into his robe, Suzy, overwhelmed by fatigue, finally shut down her computer.That night, he held her close in his arms the entire time, like inseparable conjoined twins.Who would have guessed that privately, Liam was such a clingy type...In the morning, the sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains, casting a warm glow.Suzy was the first to stir, furrowing her brow slightly. Before she even opened her eyes, she felt his hand around her waist and… his big and hard erection pressing against her.Usually, Liam woke up f

"Alright." Suzy didn't quite understand but figured Alec had his reasons.Alec sighed silently as he watched the naively simplistic Suzy in front of him.No wonder Liam had to be so secretive before! If he hadn't quietly embedded himself by Suzy's side, slowly infiltrating her life, she might have fled before he even had a chance to confess—just as her skittish, rabbit-like nature might suggest.After giving his instructions and collecting the documents, Alec was about to leave.Suzy suddenly called out to him, "Oh, I'm planning to go for a medical check-up this Saturday. Are you sure there's nothing you need to schedule for me?"She was worried about being called back to the office in the middle of her appointment."Go ahead, it's fine!" Alec raised an eyebrow. "Are you feeling unwell?""No, it's just a routine check-up.""Ah, that’s good to have! Our job is stressful, and you’ve been through a lot recently. It’s a good habit to keep a regular check on your health. Speaking of which,

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
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 426: Don’t Sell Me Out
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
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 424: Suzy, I’m Not Married
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
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 423: We’re Both Adults
"...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! Slipping o
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
