However, it wasn't Liam's voice on the other end; it was his personal assistant, John Smith, calling back.Suzy felt a bit disappointed but still wanted to give it a try. "I'm Mr. Park’s classmate, my name is Suzy Chase. Could you please pass on a message to him? I hope he can return my call.""Of course, Miss Chase. Is there anything else I can help you with?""...No, thank you."She hung up the phone, suddenly able to empathize with her mother's feelings when she had leaped from the building that day. In moments of desperation when she was pushed to the brink by unexpected circumstances, the thought of simply ending it all could become tempting!The hospital was chilly.In the late hours of the night, Suzy abruptly woke up on the companion chair, realizing she had dozed off. She glanced at her mother who was still asleep and adjusted the blanket for her.On her phone, she had received numerous messages from Wendy."Suzy, don't worry. I've already called my parents, and they agreed to

Suzy couldn't believe how quickly everything had unfolded, but at this point, she figured she should just go along with whatever he said. She didn't have the right to object.Wearing Liam's clothes, she couldn't help but notice the faint tobacco scent that clung to them, giving her an unexpected sense of comfort. Surprisingly, it brought her a sense of comfort, maybe because it helped ease her earlier anxiety.However, at that moment, her stomach decided to make a few untimely growls, and Suzy felt embarrassed. "Have you eaten?" "I ate," she replied, feeling awkward and not wanting to continue this conversation.Liam didn't press further. Instead, he checked his wristwatch and said, "I've arranged a VIP room for your mother with a dedicated caregiver. The doctor will notify you when she wakes up. For now, come with me."Suzy was puzzled. "Where… Where are we going?""To have dinner.""I already ate!"He smirked, and for a moment, his usually aloof and distant face showed a h

As she watched Liam finish his call outside, she then exited the car and walked over."This is Italy cuisine," he said, his voice slightly cold and low, like a cello."Ah." Suzy was a bit surprised. Did this mean that Liam remembered they were deskmates in junior high school? Or perhaps... he had known from the beginning.Standing next to Liam, Suzy couldn't help but feel like an odd fit. He looked distinguished in his sharp suit, clearly someone of high status, while she couldn't shake the feeling that her face might as well have had "employee" written all over it.As they entered the restaurant and took their seats, Suzy began to feel increasingly uneasy.What should she do in this situation? She couldn't just bring up memories from junior high, could she?In contrast to her awkwardness, Liam seemed to treat her like a friend he saw every day. He adjusted his shirt cuffs with his long, slender fingers, and then signaled the waiter to order a few dishes."Are you the one who is

Suzy felt as if lightning had struck her, and even John seemed momentarily stunned.John had been with Liam for a long time and had never seen him with any women. The fact that Liam had instructed him to purchase such items left no room for misunderstanding!"Alright, Mr. Park."Hearing this conversation, Suzy's face flushed, but in Liam's presence, she couldn't afford to appear overly hesitant. So, she feigned composure and diverted her gaze out of the window.She thought about it carefully beforehand and had agreed to Liam’s request willingly. Acting coy might only lead to him losing interest. After all, she didn't actually have a boyfriend. In the face of undeniable wealth and power, clinging to outdated ideals served no purpose! In simpler terms, it was a consensual agreement – he would provide the financial support, and she would pay him back with physical means.For now, the top priority was keeping Liam content. This way, at least in the short term, she wouldn't have to worry a

However, she didn't forget her responsibilities. After some thought, she said, "I'll make breakfast tomorrow."After all, there was no reason for a benefactor to serve her, right?Liam chuckled lightly, dressed in a dark loungewear, exuding a hint of laziness. He walked over, pulled out a chair at the dining table, and sat down. "You don't need to be so formal. After today's registration, you are legally my wife."Seeing him being so forthright, Suzy decided not to beat around the bush and asked directly, "Mr. Park, how long is the duration of our marriage contract? Should we consider signing an agreement?"After all, this was a business transaction, and she needed to set a timeframe for herself. In case Liam mentioned a duration that was too long, she needed to think about it carefully. It was to everyone’s knowledge that men possessed a substantial amount of time during which they could be considered eligible. When Liam got his divorce certificate, he would still be a highly sought-

Throughout the journey, Clive kept chattering about their childhood anecdotes, but not a single word made its way into Liam's ears.Upon arriving at the company, he didn't even bid Clive goodbye; he simply took the CEO's private elevator straight up to his office."Mr. Park, regarding the copyright infringement lawsuit against Golden State Corporation, do you need to hire a few more lawyers to deal with it?" His secretary knocked on the door and came in with some documents. "It's said that they've hired internationally renowned attorneys."Liam raised his hand to adjust his golden-edged glasses, completely unaffected, and signed his name at the bottom of the document with a pen. "No need. Leave the legal matters to Miss Burns when she returns. She will have full responsibility.""Is Miss Burns coming back to the head office?" The secretary's tone, which had just been somewhat worried, immediately lightened. "That's great. Golden State Corporation will sure lose this case with her h

Seeing the exhaustion on her daughter's face, Melissa sighed deeply. "I'm sorry, it's my fault for burdening you!"She realized she shouldn't have constantly nurtured her daughter's fear of men. After all, Suzy would eventually find someone to marry. But she couldn't help it. She was anxious, worried that her daughter might make another wrong choice and end up getting hurt."No need to apologize, Mom. After your successful surgery, the doctor said you might even start walking again. Then you have to make me some shortcakes. I've been craving them.""Alright." Melissa nodded, and then she thought of something. "Please ask your boyfriend to come over. I want to meet him."Suzy hesitated, turned her face away, and started peeling an apple. "He's very busy with work and has lots of things to handle at the company.""Your father was busy back then too...""Mom!" Suzy gently interrupted, "Not everyone is like him."At least Suzy's intuition told her that Liam wasn't that kind of person. To M
A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock Chapter 17: Liam’s Pause Button
"Alright."It was uncertain whether he was drunk or not. Nevertheless, he managed to lift her and carry her to the bedroom with ease. However, if he wasn't drunk, this impulsive behavior from the young man before her was a far cry from Liam's usual composed and almost indifferent demeanor.Suzy felt like she had been drinking, her surroundings spinning, and time stretching endlessly. Even the lights on the ceiling seemed to sway along with her disorientation. Eventually, she couldn't bear it any longer and shifted her gaze to the tattoo on his collarbone, sinking her teeth into it with determination.Liam stopped moving when he felt the pain."I'm sorry, I...”"Mr. Park, can today be the last time, please?" Her voice was husky, with a hint of a pleading, coquettish tone.Liam didn't answer, but after this round, he got up and headed to the bathroom.Suzy thought to herself that she had found Liam's pause button. She had bitten the tattoo just now in desperation to remind him to thin
