A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 26: Is Liam's Love for Suzy So Deep?
In the past, Clive used to believe Liam was someone incredibly steadfast and unyielding, like a monk who had renounced worldly desires. Regardless of whether a woman was mature, cute, or a young model, none of them piqued his interest.Now Clive understood that Liam was not stubborn, just selective.He realized Liam had his own way of approaching a woman.Even when he had to meet with a business associate, this dignified CEO of Park Group was determined to bring his partner as a companion. He reasoned that if anyone discovered them, they could simply explain that they were discussing business in the store.Clive thought he should tease Liam about this matter."Do you have any official business for coming here?"Liam never responded to such idle chatter and teasing; his mind was always focused on work.Clive chuckled and deliberately leaned in to disturb him. "Of course! I came over to ask why you decided to bury the harassment incident involving the Far East's representative. We could

For some reason, Suzy couldn't help but feel disgusted when addressing him as “Liam,” so this time she pretended not to hear it.They arrived at the hospital, and she intended to say goodbye to Liam and get out of the car with her bag.But then he suddenly grabbed her wrist."Wait, I'll go with you."Liam was going to see her mother?Suzy quickly waved her hand. "You don't need to trouble yourself. My mom is doing much better now!"As she spoke, Liam was already standing in front of her with the flowers and gifts from the backseat."Let's go."Suzy was speechless.There was no way around it. Suzy reluctantly brought Liam into the hospital, all the while wondering how she would explain Liam's identity to her mother later!As they reached the door of the hospital room, Suzy silently prayed that her mother was asleep at the moment, which would make things much easier. Unfortunately, when the door opened, her mother was wide awake and chatting with a nurse, looking quite spirited."Welcome

Suzy clearly hadn't expected Liam to be concerned about this matter.She gave an awkward smile. "Mr. Park, you don't know my mom. She's very traditional and wouldn't accept the contract between us. I was afraid she would get angry if she found out, so I didn't tell her the truth.""Do you plan to reconcile with your boyfriend after the one-year contract is over?"His question was too sharp, and his gaze was too piercing. Suzy didn't know how to come up with a convincing answer.She regretted creating this imaginary boyfriend in the first place. It was like shooting herself in the foot."Well, I haven't really thought about it,"She couldn't say that she would never reconcile, as it might make him suspect her true intentions."You've thought about it," Liam said coldly. "Otherwise, why wouldn't you tell your mom that you've already broken up?" Suzy was never good at making up stories, and now her brain was almost shutting down. She stammered, "Well, I... uh...""Take some time to reco

To save time, Suzy simply put on some clothes over her pajamas and headed out. She figured she would drop Liam off at Easter Bay and then return.She hailed a taxi and arrived at Red Dream International, where she immediately spotted Liam's black Maybach."Miss Chase, here are the car keys." John handed them to her.Suzy didn't detect any alcohol scent from John, but the man sitting in the passenger seat certainly carried a strong odor."Then you should take Mr. Park back," she said, puzzled. Who would assist Liam in getting inside once they reached their destination?"I have other matters to attend to,"Suzy was left speechless and reluctantly took the driver's seat herself.She sneakily glanced at Liam beside her; his suit and shirt were immaculate, his handsome face stern, his thin lips tightly pressed together. He seemed like he had "Do Not Disturb" written all over him.Fortunately, he had his eyes closed, and she decided to assume he was asleep.The car journey continued

Suzy sat up, her expression filled with doubt. "I'm moving in here?""Any issues?" Of course, there were issues! If she moved in, wouldn't it be like cohabitating? They would see each other all the time after work! Dealing with his unpredictable temper day in and day out, she'd age ten years at least.Moreover, wouldn't his former love interest eventually find out about this? If they reconciled after she moved out of her rented place, would she be stuck here witnessing their affectionate displays?"Mr. Park, I think it might not be convenient for me to live here. Rest assured, during the contract period, if you call me over, I'll come immediately.""Suzy, do you really think of yourself as a commodity for sale?" Liam furrowed his thick brows, his tone not open to refusal, and his manner commanding. "I said, move in.""Alright, Mr. Park."... After breakfast, Liam left the house.Suzy had no choice but to comply, returning to her rented place to pack her things. At around

Suzy noticed that Liam was likely aware of the ongoing rumors.After accepting the friend request, Suzy saw that Liam's WhatsApp chat window kept showing that he was typing...It seemed like he wanted to say something to her.But after waiting for a while, no message came through, and then before long, it switched back to showing him typing.Suzy wanted to ask what he was hesitating about, but even though she typed out a question mark, she ultimately chose to act as if she hadn’t seen it.In this rented room, she didn’t have many belongings. Besides some personal clothing, there were only books related to the financial industry. After packing everything, she called the landlord to discuss the refund of the remaining rent.After long and tiring discussions, the landlord finally agreed to give her a refund of two hundred dollars but insisted that she had to leave the room that day.She had no other option; she was the one who violated the contract!After dragging two large suitcases into

Liam emerged from the bedroom, now dressed in a white casual outfit. His stern demeanor had softened, making him look as young as a college student ready to hit the basketball court.Suzy was still pondering how to keep him from following her. After all, going out with Liam would attract too much attention. What if someone took pictures of them together?"Let's go.""Mr. Park, do you think there might be any paparazzi or colleagues from our company nearby? Won’t it be risky to be spotted together?"However, Liam seemed completely unconcerned. "What's the harm in that?"Since he was so nonchalant about it, Suzy had no choice but to follow his lead.At the upscale supermarket, which had few customers and tight security, everyone was busy with their shopping, and there wasn't much nosiness around.However, Suzy made a conscious effort to maintain some distance from Liam. She went to the spare ribs section and politely asked the vendor to weigh them promptly.Finally, with the spare ribs i

"What?""You should know why Liam chose you." Sophia instantly regained her noble and proud demeanor. Her red lips curved slightly, and she gazed at Suzy with a disdainful look."I was just trying to remind you. If you don't want to listen, then consider it as if I never said anything."Sophia's demeanor was like that of a legal wife warning the mistress.But in reality, Suzy was the one married to Liam.She wanted to argue back, but as the words reached her lips, she felt fear from what she wanted to say.Thankfully, she didn't say it out loud...How much misunderstanding would that have caused? Why should she bother arguing with Sophia when she didn't even like Liam?...During the ride back, Suzy was unusually quiet, her eyes fixed on the scenery outside the car window.In the past, when Suzy was alone with Liam, she would typically feel awkward and not talk much. However, today was an exception; she wanted to keep quiet."Where did you go after you finished shopping?" Liam's long

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
