A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 217: The Child Will Just Be a Burden
Wendy's words caught Suzy off guard.Her mind involuntarily replayed Victor's words."The only family you have left in this world is just me...""Just me..." she repeated his last words.No! She still had the child in her womb!Suzy suddenly looked up, her eyes meeting Wendy's.The wind rustled with a whispering sound.For once, Wendy seemed to grasp the situation quickly. She cleared her throat, "You're not thinking of—""I won't let Liam know," Suzy said softly, yet her tone was resolute."That's not okay! Do you know how hard it is to be a single mother?" Wendy had a relative who was a single mother, and she knew too well the hardships. Besides... Suzy should understand because her own mother was just like that."I know.""Then why—"Wendy was cut off mid-sentence as Jeffrey, who had been standing silently by their side, covered her mouth. "Suzy, whether you want to keep the baby or not, it's your choice. Just make sure it's what you want.""Never mind, I didn’t really mean what I

"Oh..." Wendy finally realized. "But she just said never mind! No, I have to go persuade her."Wendy, always quick to act when she knew something needed to be done, was ready to jump into action.Jeffrey, feeling helpless, quickly grabbed her arm."Don't go just yet! We need to take this slowly. She's emotionally unstable right now. Anyway, she'll definitely need someone to accompany her to the hospital, and right now, no one else is available but you or me. We still have time to change her mind.""Right." Wendy nodded, then looked at Jeffrey with a newfound respect. "Are you really prepared to accept Suzy when she’s carrying Liam's child?"Jeff gave a wry smile. "Do I have a choice? Suzy has never accepted me."It had always been a one-sided affair for him."Sigh." Wendy sighed, then added with a dry tone. "She's just really afraid of burdening others... She's had it so tough."...In the car, Suzy wasn't sure if she was asleep or awake.It was that feeling of suddenly having no hopes

"He agreed?!" Wendy's eyes widened in shock.She had thought Liam would not agree so easily.Suzy remained silent, and just as Wendy was about to start chattering, Jeffrey timely intervened, "Then I'll take you back, Suzy. You two have a good talk, just don't hurt yourself... and the baby inside you."He said this deliberately to gauge Suzy's reaction.If she had casually mentioned wanting to keep the child earlier, she wouldn't have cared much for the baby's safety and would remain indifferent. But if she truly harbored a desire to keep it, even if just a fleeting thought, she would subconsciously agree.The air seemed to freeze for a moment, those few seconds felt like centuries.Suzy slowly raised her head, her voice hoarse, almost unrecognizable, "Can I... keep the child..."Wouldn't that mean she was truly following in her mother's footsteps?She didn't even know what to do next. Keep the child, and then what?"Of course, you can. Then you'll have a blood relative in this world!"

Upon hearing the sound, Liam suddenly lifted his handsome face to look at her.His suit was already terribly wrinkled, his shirt buttons torn off and scattered. His once deep and dark eyes were now bloodshot, resembling a fierce beast lurking in the depths of a long-hidden night, oppressive and sharp, suffocating."You lied to me, didn't you?" Suzy frowned. "What?" "You weren't sincerely choosing Jeffrey, were you? You were just angry, weren't you?" She withdrew her hand abruptly, masking all the emotions that cared for him, pretending to be impatient. "Mr. Park, I thought you were someone who could easily move on, but it seems you're just another person who enjoys complicating things! Unfortunately, I'm not interested in continuing this game any longer—mmph!"Before Suzy could finish her words, Liam kissed her aggressively.He swallowed all the remaining words from her mouth, the ones he didn't want to hear.Liam's kiss was urgent, devoid of desire or technique, but carried a rust

Suzy took a few steps back, grabbed the shirt from the sofa, put it on, and was ready to head out."The one who should leave is me, this is your house." Suzy’s nails dug deep into her flesh to restrain herself from giving anything away. "I’ll be staying at Wendy’s place for the next few days, and I will properly hand over my work before resigning. Call me when your wedding preparations are complete.""Suzy, I’ve told you, I have a thing about cleanliness.""...So?""We’re not divorced yet, you’re still my wife, this is your home. Are you planning to have an affair with Jeffrey while staying at Wendy’s house?"Suzy blinked, clearly not having considered all this.It seemed he really cared about her relationship with Jeffrey, even thinking she’d meet up with him when she mentioned staying at Wendy’s place.Liam took a deep breath and spoke hoarsely, "I’ll be on a business trip for the next few days. I won’t be home, so just stay here."His words sounded more like a command.He instantly

"I'm not," Suzy stopped in her tracks, not moving forward, "Going there now would only give him hope, making our divorce impossible, and Sophia wouldn't get what she wants.""Liam is currently in a coma, and the doctors don't know when he'll wake up. It's up to you whether you come or not," Clive added at the end, "Sophia doesn't know about this... nor do Liam’s parents. He came directly to me last night."Suzy's pale lips quivered, her worries outweighing her concerns. "Which hospital is he in?"...Suzy thought that perhaps Clive was trying to avoid Liam’s parents, as he had taken Liam to the hospital where Melissa often stayed, not the one where Liam’s mother was.Of course, this was also the hospital where she found out she was pregnant.So, she entered very cautiously, afraid of encountering the doctor or nurse who had attended to her before.Fortunately, it wasn't the weekend, and there were few people around, with not many doctors and nurses moving about.Suzy followed the room

"Doctor!" Suzy suddenly interrupted, then grabbed the doctor's sleeve and pulled him aside. "I have an urgent matter now, I'll come to see you when I'm free, I have to go now!"Taken aback by her sudden sharp tone, the doctor nodded stiffly and left with a puzzled expression.Behind her, Clive approached, walking in a way that made Suzy's heart race.It was fortunate she managed to stop the doctor from talking.He immediately asked, "What was he saying just now? I didn't catch it.""Nothing important, I had some issues during a previous health check, so he asked me to hurry back for a follow-up."Clive raised an eyebrow. "Why did he ask you to discuss a follow-up with your husband?""Why do you keep asking about this?" Suzy felt annoyed. She wasn’t close to Clive, and she found him really irritating—always asking questions.However, Clive was the type to probe deeper."Just curious! It’s fine, if you don't want to say, I can ask the doctor.""It's because the check-up showed I might ne

When he spoke her name, it shattered the facade Suzy had struggled to uphold. Even in his coma, he continued to call out her name..."Forget me, Liam."If she could turn back time, she would have deleted Liam from WhatsApp immediately, and would not even have joined any alumni group chats! That way, she would never have met this man.He had given her the most unique, most precious, and purest love in the world.It was the most obvious and one-sided love Suzy had ever experienced in her twenty-something years of life!Unfortunately, her time for being loved had run out, and she had to transform from a princess back into a Cinderella."Suzy..."Liam, with his eyes tightly closed, murmured her name again, then seemed to be saying something.Suzy carefully moved closer to listen and could barely make out what he was saying.He was saying, “I don’t want a divorce.”...Liam's hospitalization ultimately couldn't be kept secret.When Sophia rushed to the hospital and saw Clive, she immediate

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
