Semua Bab A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock: Bab 211 - Bab 220

“What did Suzy tell you?”Jeffrey was still unclear about the situation, so naturally, he couldn't speak rashly.But Liam's demeanor shocked him!It was evident that Suzy held a significant place in his heart because the dejection Liam displayed was not an act."She said she was tired of being with me."After Liam finished speaking, he instinctively reached for a cigarette. However, upon opening the pack, he realized he had already smoked the remaining half-pack while waiting for Jeffrey.Jeffrey took a deep breath and pretended to be composed. "So, coming to me is useless. The one who feels tired is her."Liam lifted his dark eyes to meet his gaze.Though weary, his inherent aura of authority was impossible to ignore. Standing opposite Jeffrey in silence, his noble and aloof demeanor completely overwhelmed Jeffrey.A gentle breeze lightly fluttered Liam's hair.After a long silence, he finally said, "I want you to go abroad, to leave here, to make sure she has no other option. Jeffrey

If the previous words were like knives stabbing into Liam's heart, then the term "backup" was like a bullet, striking directly at his heart.The pain was so intense that Liam almost couldn't breathe, instinctively clutching at his chest.His handsome face was even paler and more powerless than before.Jeffrey never thought he'd see someone as powerful as Liam being brought down like this.And by the woman he loved the most.Liam could no longer face Suzy for another second, fearing she might utter more heartless words. So, he stepped back and hastily turned to get into his car and leave.With a slam on the accelerator, the car shot out wildly!Jeffrey's heart pounded heavily as he watched. "His emotions seem unstable. I’m afraid he might get into an accident while driving.”"I'll have Alec contact him." There was no way Suzy wasn’t worried about Liam’s safety. However, she knew not everything could happen just because she wanted it to, and sometimes dreams must end when reality sets i

William pressed his lips together, choosing not to continue speaking. That silence spoke volumes.At that moment, William began to believe that Suzy was not with his son for money, but what did it matter? She was not the one Grace had chosen for her son, and nothing could change that....Suzy selected a quiet gravesite for Melissa, nestled in a secluded corner, providing her mother with a serene spot free from any disruptions.After settling matters at the hospital, Melissa's body was kept at the funeral home, awaiting burial after the funeral service.Wendy had taken time off to be there. Seeing Suzy's stoic expression, she felt an overwhelming wave of heartbreak that left her struggling to catch her breath. Suzy, haven't you eaten anything? I'll ask my cousin to bring you something. Try to eat a little."Suzy turned her head stiffly and forced a comforting smile. "I'm fine, thank you for being here with me, Wendy, and Jeffrey. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.""At a time like this,

Wendy's words caught Suzy off guard.Her mind involuntarily replayed Victor's words."The only family you have left in this world is just me...""Just me..." she repeated his last words.No! She still had the child in her womb!Suzy suddenly looked up, her eyes meeting Wendy's.The wind rustled with a whispering sound.For once, Wendy seemed to grasp the situation quickly. She cleared her throat, "You're not thinking of—""I won't let Liam know," Suzy said softly, yet her tone was resolute."That's not okay! Do you know how hard it is to be a single mother?" Wendy had a relative who was a single mother, and she knew too well the hardships. Besides... Suzy should understand because her own mother was just like that."I know.""Then why—"Wendy was cut off mid-sentence as Jeffrey, who had been standing silently by their side, covered her mouth. "Suzy, whether you want to keep the baby or not, it's your choice. Just make sure it's what you want.""Never mind, I didn’t really mean what I

"He agreed?!" Wendy's eyes widened in shock.She had thought Liam would not agree so easily.Suzy remained silent, and just as Wendy was about to start chattering, Jeffrey timely intervened, "Then I'll take you back, Suzy. You two have a good talk, just don't hurt yourself... and the baby inside you."He said this deliberately to gauge Suzy's reaction.If she had casually mentioned wanting to keep the child earlier, she wouldn't have cared much for the baby's safety and would remain indifferent. But if she truly harbored a desire to keep it, even if just a fleeting thought, she would subconsciously agree.The air seemed to freeze for a moment, those few seconds felt like centuries.Suzy slowly raised her head, her voice hoarse, almost unrecognizable, "Can I... keep the child..."Wouldn't that mean she was truly following in her mother's footsteps?She didn't even know what to do next. Keep the child, and then what?"Of course, you can. Then you'll have a blood relative in this world!"
