A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 281: She Missed Liam
He didn't want to impose his desires on Suzy.Whether it was years ago or now, he still didn't want to.With Liam's capabilities, keeping Suzy by his side would have been easy, even without lifting a finger.But he couldn't bear to see her hurt in any way. He wanted Suzy to be happy, and if her happiness didn't include him, then he chose to disappear."But she's hurt you so much! Even I can't stand it! Liam, just say the word, and I'll find out who her husband is. If necessary, I'll threaten her to make her come back to you, to make her pay!""Don't." Liam's voice finally broke, unable to hide the sadness. "I truly love her, but I also need to let her go."...Suzy didn't return to the construction site but went straight back to the hotel.She opened the door to her room, didn't even take off her bag, and lay down on the bed.Liam's voice kept replaying in her head...Honestly, she missed him. She even wanted to record those few short words he had spoken, so she could listen to them w

"...You really love your husband, don't you?" Ryan said with a forced smile, trying to mask his disappointment.He realized it was unlikely he could ever take that place in her heart."Mr. Paynes, I don't want my life to have big, dramatic changes. I just want to be an ordinary person.""And does your husband love you the same way?"Ryan couldn't let it go.Suzy remained silent for a long time before she softly replied, "No one loves me more than he does.""Alright, I understand."After hanging up, Suzy set her phone aside, feeling completely drained. All her courage had been used up during her confrontation with Clive.Every second of it had been excruciating!Suzy was terrified that Clive might notice something, that he would realize she was lying.She would never seek out Liam again, but she still loved him....Back at the restaurant, Ryan returned looking dejected after the phone call.Clive, knowing he had ruined the meeting, poured him a full glass of wine. "It's been a while. W

"Yeah, she has a daughter. She's very pretty," Ryan said, looking at Clive. "You didn't know?"As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Clive jumped up with a bang, knocking over a glass on the table, which shattered on the floor."She has a child! She actually has a child! Are you sure?!" Clive felt his mind go blank as if struck by lightning repeatedly.Could it be... what he feared?"I'm sure she has one. What's the matter? Tell me!" Ryan was desperate to know, feeling left in suspense.He had thought introducing Suzy to Clive would get him some advice, but instead, it ended on a sour note, and he still didn't know anything."Do you know how old her daughter is?""I think... about two years old."Clive's mouth twitched slightly.Two years old...That meant the child definitely wasn't Liam's.They had been separated for four years and hadn't seen each other since. Liam had tried various ways to find out about Suzy but had no luck.Clive, who had been so agitated just moments before, now de

Hearing this, Ryan was stunned.Because while others might not know, Ryan did! He had seen Suzy's daughter, and she did indeed look very much like Liam.In that instant, Ryan could already conclude that it was true—Suzy's daughter was Liam's.Fortunately, Clive didn't notice Ryan's expression. He just nodded to himself and then sighed in relief, "But luckily, they’ve been separated for over four years, and her daughter is only two. So, she can’t be Liam’s."Ryan kept quiet."Hey, do you have a photo of Suzy's daughter?"He noticed Ryan was distracted and waved a hand in front of his face. "What are you thinking about?"Ryan smiled awkwardly. "Ah, nothing, just some work stuff. What did you say?""Do you have a photo of Suzy's daughter? I’d like to see her.""..." Ryan's handsome face froze for a moment, then he stiffly shook his head. "No, she only posts work-related things on her social media.""Oh, never mind then. I'm not really curious about what her daughter looks like, as long a

Meanwhile, at Northorn City Airport.An international flight landed right on time.A woman pulled her suitcase out of the terminal and stood at the airport entrance, removing her oversized sunglasses.She looked at the blue sky and white clouds in front of her and smiled slightly."Northorn City, I'm back."After all these years, Sophia finally set foot on this land again! She had given Liam time to heal from his heartbreak over Suzy, trying her best not to upset him or appear in front of him. But the result was that he suddenly announced his marriage!And the bride still wasn't her.How could that be?If she could break up Liam and Suzy four years ago, she could defeat any woman trying to take Liam away from her four years later.Sophia didn't believe that after spending her entire life pursuing Liam, she wouldn't succeed.After pausing for a moment, she took out her phone and called Clive. "I'm back.""Back where? In the country?""Northorn City." Sophia laughed. "Liam didn't even te

Clive quickly responded, "It's not her, so don't go after her again! You people even caused her mother's death, and you had no qualms about it."Even though Clive didn't support Liam and Suzy being together before, thinking it was irrational and that it would affect Liam's career, he never intended to use such extreme measures to force Suzy away."We didn't cause her mother's death. Her mother died from an illness brought on by emotional instability.""You and I both know the truth! We've been friends for years, and I've kept this from Liam, covering for you. That's all I can do. Don't expect me to be involved any further."With that, Clive hung up.Sophia stared at the now dark screen of her phone, her frown deepening.Something wasn't right!She felt Clive's reaction was clearly protective of Suzy. When they met abroad, he didn't show any favoritism towards her. Now, he was adamant about leaving Suzy alone.This could only mean that... Suzy had reappeared recently.Something must hav

With a previous marriage, it wasn’t unexpected that she had a child.In fact, the moment Ryan found out about Suzy's connection to Liam, he no longer needed any confirmation from anyone else.The resemblance between the father and daughter was undeniable to anyone who saw them.Suzy felt herself losing her balance. She could pretend to be strong and invincible in any situation, but when it came to her child, she couldn't let the Park family find out about her."Why are you telling me all this? What do you want?" Suzy's eyes sharpened with suspicion, her gaze piercing into Ryan.He raised his hands in a calming gesture. "Don't jump to conclusions. Yesterday, Clive and I talked a lot. At one point, he asked for a photo of your daughter, and I told him I didn't have one.""You have a photo of my daughter?"Ryan shrugged. "I don't, but if I wanted one, I could easily check the surveillance at Dreamland Hotel, couldn't I?"Suzy kept quiet."But I didn't do that. I also discouraged Clive's

He was well aware of the company's recent projects and their profits. He also made every effort to retain talented employees, always coming across as approachable during conversations.His love for play was just a facade.It made people less guarded around him.Suzy knew she couldn't afford to get too close to a man like Ryan. She was aware that her own abilities and strategies couldn't compete with his."Mr. Paynes, I think you believe I'm worth pursuing because you don't know me well enough." Suzy composed herself, smiled politely, and subtly distanced herself from him. "Clive probably told you about my history with Liam, but did he mention... that I was the one who broke up with him? I initiated the divorce because I fell for someone else.""He did mention that you left Liam for another man," Ryan said, stopping her from speaking further. "But I don't believe it."Ryan felt he had never misjudged anyone before!He had observed Suzy carefully. He wouldn't pursue a woman lightly, esp

A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 430: He’d Never Lied to Me
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

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

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

"...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!

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
