"You threw it in the trash afterward, and someone might have taken it the next day. It's possible!"Liam didn't want to accept this possibility at all.Seeing him just drinking, Clive was also at a loss. "But there's no other explanation! This stuff has to come from somewhere. You said Suzy was your only woman, so where else could the child come from?""Drink." Liam, already irritated, didn't want to hear any more of Clive's rambling.Clive pursed his lips. "Wait a minute. Did your people find any trace of the child?""No, still looking.""I haven't heard anything either. Do you think we should expand the search? The child might not be in Northorn City anymore.""I've already expanded it," Liam replied, more determined than ever to find the child and get a paternity test done.Clive glanced at the array of bottles on the table, both amused and exasperated.Liam, with his severe OCD, even lined up the bottles neatly, and he had already downed seven or eight of them."Are you sure you do
Sophia feigned concern, sighing as she tried to persuade Grace. "Mrs. Park, no matter what, he's still Liam's child. You can't hurt Liam's feelings just to support me. I don't want to cause any discord between you and him because of me.""You care so much about him, but look at his behavior! First, there was Suzy, then he's married someone else without even telling me who she is! And now, a child appears claiming to be his! It's so frustrating!" Grace grew increasingly agitated, causing the doctor nearby to step in and calm her down."Mrs. Park, you should take care of your health! I don't mind as long as I can be with Liam in the end. Even if I were to never have a formal status, I'm willing to do so.""No, you deserve the title of Mrs. Park! I owe it to you. As for that child, don't worry. If Liam blames you, you can put all the responsibility on me. Say it was my doing!"This was precisely what Sophia wanted to hear. She was genuinely worried something might happen to Grace. As long
He missed Suzy so much.Thinking of every moment they shared in this house.These words, if not for the influence of alcohol, he probably would never have said aloud.He had to admit, in this battle with Suzy, he lost completely, utterly defeated, unable to rise again.Alec, listening to these words, could sense Liam's complex emotions.The sense of loss, the helplessness, it was truly heartbreaking!"Mr. Park, try not to think about it.""Yeah, I won't think about it." Liam nodded obediently, a bitter smile on his lips. "I won't think about it."Alec sighed. "Let's go back inside and rest. You've had too much to drink, and you have work tomorrow.""Yeah.""What's the code for the door? I'll unlock it for you, and you can change it tomorrow."Seeing Liam's current state, Alec doubted he could manage the code himself.Liam's tall figure swayed slightly. "The code is... the initials of me and Suzy, plus the day we first sat next to each other—August 25th, 0825."Alec didn't know whether
Suzy instinctively looked in the direction Jeffrey mentioned.Sure enough, Jeffrey stood not far away, holding his phone and smiling at her."Over here!"Seeing Jeffrey's figure, Suzy felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.To say she wasn't touched would be a lie, but this kind of feeling was more like that between family members, unrelated to romantic love.Many times, Suzy wondered if she had met Jeffrey first, through Wendy's introduction, she might have wholeheartedly built a life with him.But all of this was based on the premise that Liam never appeared.Suzy stood up and slowly walked toward him. "Jeff, why didn't you leave?""I couldn't rest easy with you alone in Northorn. So, I had a friend drive Wendy and the kids back first. Don't worry, my friend is an old classmate I've known for years. There won't be any problems, and he won't betray us."Suzy wasn't really worried about that, but still..."You've been waiting here all this time?""I stayed to keep you compa
Moreover, unlike other suitors who made grand gestures to attract attention, often leaving her feeling embarrassed and speechless, he prioritized her feelings and acted accordingly.His love was gentle and pervasive, influencing everything quietly and profoundly.Suzy thought that many girls might never experience such pure love in their entire lives.And she, someone who had lived through so much hardship, had once possessed it completely.Standing outside Easter Bay once again, Suzy looked up at the lit living room.He must be working, right?At this hour, as the CEO, he likely had many international meetings to attend.Many people saw Liam as god’s favored child, born into privilege. But those who knew him understood the immense effort he put into everything.He wanted to handle every aspect of the company personally, never shirking his responsibilities just because he was the CEO.This dedication was a key reason for the Park Group's strong standing in the business world. It wasn't
Alec just stared at her, seemingly trying to gauge the truth in her words.But…The fact that she came here today showed that she still had feelings for Liam.And from their previous interactions, Alec believed she wasn’t a heartless person."Are you saying that Mr. Park's mother has...""Alec, without evidence, I can’t say anything more, and you don’t need to ask! Once I leave Northorn City tomorrow morning, I’ll be leaving the country and won’t return. You don’t have to worry about me bothering him again. Whether you believe it or not, I genuinely hope he finds happiness."Given how seriously Liam treated love, he deserved a complete and fulfilling relationship. He deserved happiness.With that, Suzy turned to leave.Alec watched her retreating figure, then suddenly called out."Miss Chase!"Suzy paused and turned around. "What is it?"Alec quickly walked over to her. "Mr. Park got drunk today. I’ve been taking care of him.""He was drinking?""Yes, I’ve never seen him this drunk bef
Seeing those bite marks, Suzy felt jealousy and envy for the first time in her life.As someone who had experienced love, she knew exactly what they signified.And it must have been intense.Suzy felt as if her heart had been ripped open, with wind howling through the wound, leaving her unsure how to react.As her rationality gradually returned, she pulled her hand back as if shocked and quickly moved away from Liam's bed.How could she have forgotten...He was a married man now! It was natural for him to sleep with his wife.Even if he hadn't let go of her, could she cross that boundary?What was she doing now? Breaking into someone else's home and touching their husband!Suzy turned to leave hurriedly, but suddenly heard Liam move and murmur softly."Suzy..."He was calling her name.But she couldn't stay any longer. She rushed out of the bedroom and fled from Easter Bay.On her way back to the hotel, she couldn't stop thinking about the bite marks on Liam's shoulder.It felt like so
Seeing that Suzy still wasn't speaking, Jeffrey used his last trick."Sigh, I still have stomach problems! The doctor said I shouldn't starve."After hearing that, what else could Suzy do?Even though she knew these were just excuses, Jeffrey just wanted her to get out and not stay cooped up in the room alone."Thank you, Jeff.""I should be the one thanking you for keeping me company for dinner. Let's go."…The night outside was still and quiet.The room, which had its lights turned off, suddenly lit up!Angela, who was still sleeping, was startled. She groggily opened her eyes and saw her brother sitting at the desk doing something.She stretched and walked over in her slippers. "Brother... what are you doing?"Arthur glanced at her and slapped his forehead. "I forgot you were in this room! I'm sending data to my mentor."He then showed her what he was working on.But how could she understand? To her, it was just a bunch of jumbled data."Who is your mentor, brother?""My mentor is
