A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 194: Liam’s Selfie
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,

Saturday arrived as expected.Having arranged a day off, Suzy finally enjoyed the luxury of waking up naturally.She slowly opened her eyes, habitually checked her phone for the time, and then remembered that she didn't have to work today! It was already eight o'clock. If it were a workday, she would have been late.After stretching and getting out of bed, Suzy shuffled to the dining room in her slippers, only to be taken aback."Why are you still home?"By this time, Liam should have already been at the office."Sit down and have some breakfast," he said, handing her a glass of milk with a slight smile. "You said you're going to the hospital for a check-up today. I don't feel comfortable letting you go alone.""But—""I know, you're worried your mother will find out I'm there, so I'll just wait outside. Let me know once you’re done."Suzy pursed her lips, pulled out a chair, and sat down, looking at him seriously."Liam, it's just a routine check-up, nothing serious. There's a mountai
Last Updated : 2024-05-09A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 198: Do You Want This Child
While waiting for the results, Suzy called her mother because Melissa hadn't replied to a message Suzy had sent earlier.The call went unanswered.Suzy felt a bit uneasy, but she wasn’t overly worried since her mother usually had her rehabilitation sessions on weekends and often didn’t carry her phone with her. Suzy resolved to finish her check-up quickly and then visit her mother at the hospital to make sure everything was alright."Suzy Chase, please come to Examination Room 3."Hearing her name being called, Suzy quickly put away her phone and headed to the indicated room.The same doctor was there, frowning slightly as he reviewed her urine and blood test results."It's good that you came in for a check-up. You are pregnant."...When the doctor uttered those words, Suzy’s mind went blank."The blood tests indicate that the child is developing normally," the doctor continued, not looking up from her medical record as he made notes. "Do you want to keep it?"Before she could respon

Suzy's hand trembled as she tried to sign her name with the pen, but she couldn't manage to do it properly.Suddenly—A doctor rushed out of the emergency room, saying hastily, "The patient is in critical condition!"At that moment, Suzy still hadn't finished signing the critical condition notification.The attending physician quickly turned around, and although she instinctively wanted to follow, the medical staff stopped her. "I'm sorry, family members are not allowed in the emergency room!""It's my mom inside! He said my mom is in critical condition, I need to go in and see!""I'm sorry," the doctor replied and closed the door.Suzy cried, her vision blurred, she could only see the glaring bright red lights in the emergency room.In the hospital corridor with white walls everywhere, she suddenly noticed a man in a black suit not far away! Suzy didn't know him, but it was obvious that he had come specifically to witness this scene.In an instant, Sophia's words from the last time ec

As the conversation quieted down, footsteps echoed from outside the hospital room.The door swung open, and Liam saw Sophia clutching his mother's hand, her eyes tightly shut as tears streamed down her face.Hearing the sound, Sophia looked up at him, her eyes red-rimmed. "Liam, the doctor said Mrs. Park is in critical condition! Don't go to the office today. I believe you’d be the first person she wants to see the moment she wakes up.”Liam stood at a distance, his brow furrowed, showing no intention of comforting her."This doesn't concern you anymore, you can leave.""…Alright then, just call me if you need anything."The conversation suddenly turned to the topic of cellphones, startling Sophia, while Grace, pretending to faint, sneakily poked her hand."Did you see my phone?"Liam stooped to search for his phone, instantly causing Sophia and Grace to freeze, their breath caught in their throats.They couldn't let him know what was happening with Suzy now!Luckily, Sophia was quick

Touching her ice-cold skin, Jeffrey felt his heart ache."Are you alone?" He wanted to ask her why Liam wasn’t with her. However, seeing Suzy's current state, he thought he didn't need to.Despite not knowing what had happened, he was sure Liam wouldn't have left her, especially not at a time like this, no matter how much Suzy might push him away."My mother was murdered," Suzy stated, not answering his question but speaking in a hoarse whisper. "She must have been murdered...""Do you know something?" Jeffrey immediately asked, "Tell me, and I'll investigate it for you. Don’t worry, if someone really did harm your mum, I absolutely won’t let them get away with it."Suzy slowly lifted her head to look at him.Suddenly, her shoulders slumped."What if it was someone from the Park family... can we even find out?"She was genuinely afraid, afraid of what she might find, especially if it had been at the instigation of Liam’s parents.And even if she could find out, was there any chance sh

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
