Semua Bab A Taste of Temptation: The Chaste CEO's Midnight Knock: Bab 71 - Bab 80

It was 0825 again.How deeply did Liam love Sophia?She couldn't imagine that someone as serious, old-fashioned, and unsociable as Liam would be willing to go to such an extent for love.Setting a password, getting a tattoo, writing love letters.Any of these alone wouldn't seem like something Liam would do, but he did them all for Sophia.Suzy didn't read the letter; she simply placed it back where it belonged, along with the books, and left the study room in slow steps.She felt she had crossed a line; this was Liam's business, and she shouldn't read, think, or develop any emotions about it.As a hired substitute, she didn't have that privilege.…Liam left the hospital when Clive returned. He got into his car and didn't start the engine. Instead, he called his mother, Grace Park."Liam, are you done with your work?" Due to the time difference, it was already late on Grace’s side."Yes. Liam leaned back in his seat and rubbed his temples. "I heard from Sophia that you're coming back

Fortunately, John brought dinner over right on time.Liam allowed Suzy to rest after having sex with her once. However, she felt thoroughly drained of energy. She needed his help even to have a meal in the dining room.Before going to bed, Liam leaned against the headboard and read a book. Looking at his profound profile, Suzy had considered asking about Sophia several times, but in the end, she remained silent.She glanced at her phone, and the day after tomorrow would be August 25th. On this day, Liam shouldn't return to Easter Bay, which happened to coincide with the three-day deadline her mother had given her.The next day, as soon as Suzy arrived at the office, she immediately started a hectic day.Alec still had several major projects in hand, and he couldn't focus solely on SNS. So, he entrusted most of what he could to Suzy.Around noon, she finally lifted her head from a pile of documents and called Wendy."Tomorrow, at the latest tomorrow... I need a guy to accompany me to v

Suzy obviously hadn't thought that much and was momentarily stunned upon hearing this."Just call me Jeffrey, that's what my family calls me."She nodded, feeling somewhat awkward, but in the current situation, what else was there to pick on? Getting someone to appease her mother was all that mattered! She needed to coax her into completing the surgery.After getting into Jeffrey's car, Suzy realized that he was indeed well-prepared.There was not only a fruit basket in the back seat but also several boxes of supplements that looked expensive. How much must they have cost?She sneakily took out her phone to check her bank balance.With just a few hundred dollars, she wondered if it would be enough to repay him.Jeffrey followed her gaze and smiled. "Wendy said you're busy with work and probably wouldn't have time to prepare, so I bought some things on the way! I can't meet your mom empty-handed. She won’t believe us.”His thoughtfulness made Suzy feel even more embarrassed. "You've

The script deviated too much from the original plan, causing Suzy's heart to beat faster with anxiety!Where would Jeffrey find two people to play his parents? And if this play continued, with her mother continuing to make things difficult, wouldn't it turn into a full-fledged soap opera?Seeing him turn to leave the hospital room to make a phone call, Suzy furrowed her delicate brows. "Mom, this is going too far! His parents also have jobs, they can't just drop everything and come here, can they?""He was the one who said it. His parents really wanted to meet me, so I agreed. What's wrong with that?"Melissa had considered numerous ways to confirm if her daughter had genuinely married or simply entered a sugar daddy relationship.Suzy was in a difficult position at the moment. She glanced at the door."I'll check how he's talking to his parents. If it's not convenient, could you please not give him a hard time? Perhaps we can schedule it for another day when they can be more prepared.

"It's because of her that this happened to Liam!" If it weren't for Clive holding her back, Sophia would have fought her without any regard for her ladylike image."Now that Liam is inside receiving treatment, we can settle this score later!"Clive saw people around them staring and managed to persuade Sophia to leave.When he returned, he was surprised to find Suzy still standing there with a visible palm print on her delicate face. Combined with her dainty appearance, she appeared somewhat pitiful.This only fueled his anger even more!"Why haven't you left yet?!"Clive had never been particularly fond of Suzy, considering her a passing fancy. Now, with this incident, he had even less interest in her."Is it because of me that Liam had the accident?"Suzy had picked up some clues from their conversation earlier but didn't know the whole story. Liam was supposed to be with Sophia, so how was the accident related to her?"Heh, today is August 25th, don't you know?"Suzy did know, but
