A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 233: Return Her Sooner
Jeffrey naturally tried to take Suzy's luggage from Liam's hands.He reached for it, but Liam didn't let go.The two men were stuck and couldn't reach an agreement.The evening breeze fluttered Liam's hair as he smiled. "Fetching my wife is no trouble at all.""..."Fearing that the two men might start fighting again, Suzy quickly interjected, "Jeff, please take the stuff up. I've been packing for quite a while and I'm very tired.""Alright." Jeffrey raised his eyebrows, a triumphant smile on his face, and turned to walk inside with Suzy.Liam was left standing alone, unmoving for a long time.After a while, he returned to his car, took out his cigarette pack and lighter, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs, his gaze fixed on the floor where Wendy lived.He torturously waited there, wanting to see if Jeffrey would stay the night!As he was about to finish the cigarette, the ash fell on the back of his hand, the bright ember burning his skin, but he seemed not to feel the pain, his ga

Every step Jeffrey took was deliberately slow. He was listening to see if Liam were following him to leave.After a long silence without hearing Liam's footsteps, Jeffrey turned around quietly. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have seen something wrong.Top of FormLiam was crying.He was actually crying!Though completely silent, the sorrow in his deep eyes and the redness at the corners couldn't be hidden.Tears slid down his cheeks, dampening the collar of his white shirt, the moisture spreading...It’s said that a man seldom sheds tears, but only because he hasn't yet felt true sorrow.At this moment, Jeffrey had no doubt about Liam's genuine love for Suzy.Hesitating briefly, he took out his phone and snapped a photo of Liam in tears, planning to send it to Suzy.He thought that if Suzy saw it, there might be a chance for things to turn around, that she might change her mind!But when Jeffrey opened the WhatsApp conversation with Suzy, his fingers paused.He chose not to send

" "Okay," Suzy murmured, puzzled by his sudden statement. Before, Liam hadn't seemed like someone who sought recognition until she saw the wedding dress—no questions needed to be asked. Suzy knew this wedding dress must have been personally designed by Liam.And it was a creation he had been preparing for a long time!The snow-white dress was embellished with jewels and diamonds, and at the forefront, it featured embroidery with the digits 0825, each adorned with pearls and gemstones.He wasn’t a professional wedding dress designer, but this piece—he had started drafting it five years ago, long before he reunited with Suzy, leading up to their marriage...Liam had hoped that one day, Suzy would wear this dress for him!In fact, she was going to wear it, just not in the way he had imagined."How long did you work on designing this?""Not long." Liam’s voice was deep, and he didn’t look at Suzy. "Go try it on.""Mm."Suzy followed the staff to the fitting room, while Liam waited outside

The wedding scene was coordinated by Liam and the designer.There were red roses everywhere, even the red carpet was strewn with petals...Suzy looked at the scene before her, feeling a sense of familiarity, but couldn't recall where she had seen it before!Liam, standing beside her, spoke warmly, "In junior high, you once drew a picture of your future wedding during art class."She was instantly stunned!That was so many years ago.Suzy remembered the art teacher teaching them how to draw scenes and some composition techniques.She had sneaked a glance at her classmates' drawings; most of them were sketching places they had visited or their homes.Suzy had never traveled nor had a home of her own, so she decided to draw an imagined grand wedding.In her imagination, the bride and groom deeply loved each other, with eyes only for one another. After the wedding, they would create a happy home, maybe even with a cute baby.She would envy that child, growing up in a complete family with b

Suzy knew this was the last time Liam would ask her.He had lowered his pride so many times. Each time, his dignity was cast aside, and she knew how painful it was for him. She didn't want him to suffer like this."Liam, don't ask anymore.""Alright, I won't."He gave a signal to the officiant, and the wedding officially began.There were no guests, no friends or family. Apart from the officiant, it was just the two of them.Suzy didn't dare look at Liam's chiseled face or his deep, unreadable eyes. She just wanted it to be over, not just the wedding."Now, the groom may kiss his bride."The officiant said this and then closed his eyes to pray for them.Liam cupped her cheeks with his hands, his warm lips slowly approaching until there was no distance left.The kiss was long, very long...So long that it nearly emptied Suzy's lungs of air.Her brain was deprived of oxygen, and she let him kiss her. Finally, she heard Liam whisper softly in her ear."Suzy, I hate you."Hate?Yes, he had

If it weren't for the distance between them, Suzy would have felt as though his spit was landing on her face."The compensation amount is primarily based on the area of your land use certificate. The company has shown the greatest sincerity." Suzy had no choice but to try reasoning with him.The man snorted. "Don't think I don't know. My house is right at the entrance of the resort! As long as I don't move, your project will be stalled. Instead of persuading me, why don't you go back and convince your boss? I want one million. Pay up, and I'll leave!"Hearing this, Suzy didn't get angry but instead laughed. "Sir, it's clear someone has fed you some information. But did this person also mention that if the negotiation doesn't work out, the resort plans to change the entrance direction?""You... You all are trying to fool me!" Although the man still insisted on the one million demand, his tone lacked the previous confidence and smugness."Well, it looks like this visit was in vain. I won

"Mommy!"Angela's voice snapped her back to reality.Suzy quickly ended the video call and hurriedly rolled up the window.She watched as Alec, on the phone, walked past her car. Her heart pounded so loudly it felt like it was going to leap out of her chest.She knew she should drive away immediately, but her eyes couldn't help but follow Alec's figure.What did she want to see?Was it him?Thinking of those three words, Suzy felt a sudden clarity.She averted her gaze and started the car engine.Some dreams, once woken from, should not be revisited.Suzy drove back to the company from the construction site. As soon as she entered the parking lot, she saw Peter in the distance, looking frustrated as he spoke on the phone.Strictly speaking, Peter wasn't really her superior. At DollarMax, Suzy's position as project director was almost on par with his as general manager. However, due to the extensive scope of this development project, they needed an experienced hand to lead, and Peter,

What Peter said was casual, but to Suzy, it meant something entirely different."Really? Haha... is that so...""Seriously! About two years ago, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Park. He's really impressive. Even as a man, I couldn't find any faults in him! Tall and handsome, and your daughter does resemble him a bit.""That's quite a coincidence." Suzy was already planning to keep Angela out of sight from anyone in the business world, including colleagues or superiors.Even though she and Liam were worlds apart and unlikely to cross paths, she couldn't guarantee that those around her wouldn't come into contact with him."By the way, I've never met your husband! He must be handsome too, considering how adorable your little Angela is. You should bring him around some time so we can all meet him."Peter genuinely admired the woman before him.She had clawed her way up from the bottom to become a director! DollarMax had faced crises several times, and it was her relentless efforts that

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
