A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 250: Liam Stays In Dreamland Hotel
"Alright, alright, you’re right." Wendy sighed. "Honestly, when you two first separated, I thought you’d regret it, especially when you were about to go into the delivery room. I really thought you’d contact him."If it had been her, she would have reached out to the most important person in her life during such a critical time.When Suzy was in labor and experiencing complications, the doctors handed Wendy a critical condition notice to sign. Wendy was so terrified that she cried hysterically outside the delivery room.It was probably the hardest thing Wendy had ever signed."I had already made up my mind. I wanted the truth, and if that meant giving him up, I couldn’t regret it."It wouldn’t be fair to Liam."So...what are you planning to do about 'him'? You can’t keep him abroad forever."Realizing who Wendy was referring to, a look of worry crossed Suzy’s face. She frowned deeply before sighing softly."Wendy, I did this because—"Wendy interrupted, "I know why you did it, but this

"Alright, Mr. Park."The driver drove straight to the Dreamland Hotel.After the car stopped, Liam slowly opened his eyes and got out of the car.He glanced at the hotel in front of him. The decoration at the entrance looked decent, but the small entrance meant it wasn't a high-end hotel."Mr. Park, do you need me to carry your luggage up?" The driver looked at the suitcase. It wasn't big, probably just a few clothes."No need." Liam grabbed the suitcase himself and started to walk forward.Suddenly, a little girl at the hotel entrance shouted, "Mommy!"Liam usually didn’t give much attention to children. He didn't dislike them, but he didn't particularly like them either. However, today, he was attracted by this childish voice.He looked over to see a little girl who seemed to be about two or three years old. She had a small ponytail on top of her head that bobbed cutely with her movements.The girl had her back to him, and he could only vaguely see her side face, which looked like a

After Alec finished speaking, he quickly added, "Mr. Park, Windsting City isn't very bustling. Aside from the night market, there's hardly any nightlife. If you want to go out during the day, I can recommend a few good restaurants."Liam set down his wine glass and glanced at his watch."Send me the address of the night market.""Are you going?"Alec was a bit surprised. Since Liam had OCD, he always avoided crowded places and never ate street food from night markets. The sudden interest in visiting a night market was quite unexpected."Yes, perhaps after the resort development project, we could consider building a hotel here."Liam thought the scenery here was nice, and the air was fresh—a perfect place to find some peace and quiet. Surely, others would also want a place to calm their minds."Do you need me to join you for the inspection?""No need, just have the driver wait for me downstairs at the hotel.""Understood, Mr. Park."After hanging up, Liam changed out of his usual suit a

"Mr. Watts, give him a chance for my sake."Suzy saw that the act was almost over and it was time to wrap things up. She stepped in to stop it, giving the troublemaker a look to signal him to leave quickly.Once he hurried away, Peter's face quickly shifted from anger to a wide smile."Miss Chase, I really admire you!""There's nothing to admire. People like him aren't very cunning; they just want more money. A bit of intimidation settles things." Suzy glanced at the time. "Mr. Watts, I have to go. Someone is waiting for me."Peter saw her urgency and smiled. "Is... your husband here in Windsting City?""...Yes." Suzy nodded. "He won't be here for long, so I have to go.""Alright! Go ahead. When you have time, bring your husband, and we can have a meal together."Suzy smiled and nodded, then hurriedly left.She always claimed to have a husband. Firstly, it was because she already had a child, and if she said the child had no father, people would start wondering who the father was. If t

Her eyes reminded him of Suzy.Liam thought about this and bitterly smiled to himself.He came to Windsting City to forget Suzy and start fresh, but now he was seeing her face in every child he encountered.His mother had said he was obsessed, and now he finally admitted it.When he looked back, the little girl was gone. He glanced around but didn't see her."I must be going crazy," he muttered.He couldn't believe he was distracted by a little girl."Mr. Park, what did you say?""Nothing, let's go back to the hotel." Liam decided it was better to rest. Staying out only made him see her in everyone.The driver, though puzzled, nodded. He knew better than to question his boss' decision."Alright, Mr. Park."Liam turned and walked against the crowd.The driver continued to diligently introduce the features of Windsting City. "Tomorrow, you can hike up the mountain in the morning when it's cooler. The view from the top is great! In the afternoon, I'll take you to a popular restaurant for

Seeing him ask for her phone number, Suzy took a business card from her car and handed it to him."This is my number."After saying that, she glanced at the other car.There seemed to be a figure in the back seat, probably a man, but he never got out, and Suzy didn't see his face.The driver took the card with both hands and immediately added her on WhatsApp, and transferred ten thousand dollars on the spot."I'm really sorry, Miss Chase. When you get your car fixed, if it costs more, let me know!"Seeing how sincere and honest he seemed, Suzy said, "It probably won't cost that much. I'll provide a receipt and refund the remainder."She wasn't the type to take advantage of others."Alright."After resolving the situation, Suzy quickly drove her scratched car to the night market. Wendy had already messaged her several times, urging her to hurry up!Behind her, the driver watched Suzy leave before returning to the car."Mr. Park, this is the card she gave me and her WhatsApp contact."Th

"Weststing City is a place where you rarely encounter bigshots! You're so pretty; if he gets out of the car and sees you, he’ll definitely chase after you!" Wendy pouted after speaking, sighed to herself, and then stroked Angela’s cheek. "Sigh, but it's no wonder you're not interested in handsome guys or bosses, considering you didn't even want the most handsome one before..."Knowing who she was hinting at, Suzy's body noticeably tensed. She instinctively avoided discussing that person, even without mentioning the name."I think the night market is about to close. Let's find a restaurant to eat and then go back!"Wendy shrugged and rolled her eyes. "Ha, you're not over it! Otherwise, why change the subject?""I'm not.""You are! Suzy, we've been best friends for so many years; don't I know what kind of person you are?"Suzy took a deep breath and then said softly but seriously, "I've really moved on. He's married. I won't think about a married man."After saying that, she hugged Ange
Last Updated : 2024-06-07A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 257: I Have No Daddy
Liam stared at her name, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't describe...Just when he decided to let go, fate brought them together again. What did this mean?"Mr. Park, do you need me to investigate Miss Chase's activities over the past few years in more detail?" Alec asked cautiously.He couldn't read his boss' thoughts and didn't dare try, as Suzy was a sensitive subject for Liam."No need." Liam paused for a few seconds and then added, "Not for now."He needed to think clearly about what he truly wanted and how he should act.After hanging up, Liam poured himself a glass of red wine and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window in his hotel room.This small town was quiet at night, starkly contrasting with the hustle and bustle of the big city.Liam tugged at the corner of his lips and took a sip of the wine.The bitter taste immediately filled his mouth and continued down his throat...The breeze from the window brought a bit of clarity.Reason told him that since he had resolv

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
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 425: I Suspect Suzy Is Your Mother
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
