A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 222: Clive Bump into Suzy’s Doctor
"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

Liam's voice, though hoarse and weak, still carried a sharp and commanding tone.Startled, Sophia immediately withdrew her hand."I, I just wanted to check your temperature.""No need," Liam's voice sounded distant, with a hint of sorrow beneath it.When he had first opened his eyes, he had thought for a moment that the woman before him was Suzy! He thought she had finally decided she couldn't part with him!However, when Liam forced his eyes open further and realized it was Sophia, the disappointment that swept over him was chilling to the bone..."I heard you drank yourself into the hospital, I was really scared! Liam, even if you don’t think about your own health, you should think about your parents! The entire Park Group is waiting for you, and you do this... all for one woman?"As Sophia spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.There was heartache, resentment, and grievance.She was so envious of Suzy!Why did she have everything Sophia had always longed for but could never attain? Wha

But when opened his eyes, everything was gone.Nothing remained.Only a lingering, familiar scent floated in the air.Clive's expression froze, and he frowned. "She didn’t come! She doesn't care whether you live or die!""I know she was here.""Weren't you unconscious just now?" Clive's words slipped out before he realized their unintended implication. He frowned in dissatisfaction. "Why do you need to know? Even if she did come, she didn't stay! This is so frustrating! But lucky, God is fair!”It was fortunate that a woman as heartless as her cannot bear children!Of course, he didn't voice that last thought.Clive could predict that if Liam knew about this, he would think Suzy insisted on the divorce because of her inability to have children—just as he had initially thought.Since they were going to part ways anyway, the reason didn't matter much now. Everyone just needed to get back on track.He sneaked a glance at Liam’s expression and wisely chose not to say more.Suddenly, Liam s
Last Updated : 2024-05-23A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 227: Liam’s Discharge
After that night, Liam gained a lot of clarity. Since being with him caused her so much pain, it would be best to give her the freedom she deserved.Suzy had never lived life on her own terms. He had hoped his presence would alter her path and help her move beyond her past, but now it was evident she was truly worn out.Liam could see that the fatigue Suzy carried these past few days was not something she could fake."You're just making it worse! Just divorce her already. Planning a wedding is only going to move you," Clive said, then met Liam's stern gaze.Finally, Clive sighed. "Alright, I'll arrange your discharge."...After leaving Liam's hospital room, Suzy didn’t immediately leave the hospital; instead, she went to the hospital’s back garden, a place her mother had loved.Because Melissa spent the latter part of her life mostly in the hospital, this garden became the only place where Suzy could mourn her.Tired from walking, Suzy sat on a bench in the pavilion, watching patients

"Suzy! I knew I'd find you here."Suddenly, Sophia's voice reached Suzy's ears.Suzy instinctively withdrew her hand and looked up. "What is it?""Did you forget your promise to me? You said you would divorce Liam. Yet now, he's planning a wedding, and you agreed?" Sophia was fuming, having seen the message from Clive.She had given her everything to Liam, and he didn’t even respond with a smile. Yet for Suzy, Liam insisted on leaving the hospital to organize a wedding for her!"It's his demand. Otherwise, he won't sign the divorce papers. What do you expect me to do, sue for divorce?" "Don't act so pleased with yourself!""What do I have to be pleased about?" Suzy avoided eye contact, focusing instead on the mother and daughter walking away. "You have the ability to harm my mother, leaving me with nothing. I'm truly afraid of you."Sophia could hear the sarcasm in her voice. Her expression paused, and she crossed her arms. "I didn’t cause your mother to die. She died from her illness

Sophia paused, her expression distant for a few seconds, and then she fell silent.After a long sigh, she spoke in a resigned tone, "I am an illegitimate daughter. If I didn't act this way, I wouldn't have been accepted into the Park family. I've done so much; I can't let you take Liam away! If you feel it's unfair, I could give back our father to you."Liam was the motivation behind all her efforts.With him, she didn't need the man who was biologically her father; he was useless to her now."Keep him; I don't have a dad."She didn't need her dad before, and she certainly didn't need him now.With those words, Suzy got up and left the hospital.She would never reconcile with Victor in her lifetime, nor would she ever share any sisterly bond with Sophia.If Suzy were to find out that Sophia had caused Melissa’s death, she would show no mercy.Hailing a taxi, Suzy got in and watched the landscape passing by in reverse, scenes with Liam flashing through her memory like a slideshow.The c

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
