Chapter 326
At Sullivan Group, Liam woke up to find it was already noon. After taking some medicine and getting some sleep, his dizziness had subsided, but he still felt weak. As he shifted slightly to get up, he unintentionally woke Cynthia, who was resting beside him.
Cynthia had been checking Liam’s temperature from time to time, only falling asleep once it finally returned to normal. Seeing him awake now, she immediately asked with concern. “How are you feeling Simultaneously, she took out a thermometer and placed it under his arm.
The cooperated with her, offering a faint smile. Your medical skills are impressive; I feel a lot better”
She chuckled softly and chided. “No more cold showers next time.”
“I listen to you, honey. He nodded, his demeanor taking on a
a childlike compliance he reserved for when he was sick
He moved closer, resting his head on Cynthia’s lap. “But what do I do when I can’t control I myself around someone as charming as you!”
“Can’t you even hold back for a few days?” she asked, her tone a mix of amusement and exasperation.
“Nope,” he replied with a straight face,
*$0.
how did you manage before you met me?” she asked raising an eyebrow
He observed her expression carefully, calculating his next words to get the response be wanted. “I never thought about it back then, but now that you’re with me, I can’t stay calm when I see you
“Then I guess I’ll have to stay at the Sullivan residence during my period to keep my distance, she replied, half teasing, half serious Liam immediately objected, “No way. You can’t leave my side atuny time?
Hearing this, Cynthia burst into laughter and said, “Then you’re just asking for trouble. If you really can’t hold back, you’ll have to r hands
rely on your own
She made a teasing gesture with her right hand intending to foster him. However, what he did next caught her off guard Grinning mischievously, Liam slowly inserted his index finger into the space between Cynila’s curled tigers. With a suggestive tone, he murmured. “My hands are rough. but yours are tender and perfect for helping me,
Cynthia stared at their intertwined fingers in a daze, her cheeks flushing red a moment later. Quickly, she pulled her hand back and hid it behind her. “You’re so cheeky” she exclaimed.
Despite their familiarity with each other in bed, Liam’s boldness to flirt and make dirty jokes never failed to make her blush. Seeing that it was almost time, Cynthia took out the thermometer After confirming that Liam’s temperature had stabilized, she wanted to get out of bed.
Before she could move, a pair of strong hands wrapped around her waist, and she heard Liam’s warm voice. “Please?” he murmured sofily
A shiver ran through her body at the unexpected pleading tone. She thought, ‘Damn! This is so tricky! It was impossible to resist him when he acted cute. She almost agreed but then remembered his formidable stamina and shook her head, biting her lip.
“Weren’t you just trying to chase me out! Now you want my help? No way! I hold grudges, she pretended to be stern, but her expression seemed endearing in Liam’s eyes.
He then exerted force and pinned her under him in bed. Realizing that acting cute hadn’t worked, he shifted tactics and played the victim card. “You’re heartless. Did you forget who I fell sick for today!”
Cynthia was already feeling guilty, so this tactic worked like magie on her. She gave in and said quietly, “All right, I’ll help you just this once.
Hearing the answer he wanted, Liam immediately perked up. “Great. Let’s start now.”
Afraid Cynthia might change her mind, he leaned down and silenced her with a kiss.
Just as things were about to get out of hand, Cynthia’s stomach suddenly started growling, Liam reluctantly lifted his head, his eyes still filled with desire. He asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you hungry?”
She nodded. “Yes. I didn’t have time for breakfast this morning
Hearing this, he frowned. He knew she was worried about him, so he wasn’t angry at her for skipping breakfast, but he felt bad. Getting up, he intended to go to the bathroom. “Wait for me.”
She quickly stopped him, her voice firm. “No. You’re not fully recovered from your cold.”
“Then let me calm down for a bit,” he said, closing his eyes and leaning against the headboard, trying to clear his mind.
She couldn’t bear seeing him struggle and offered, “How about I help you?”

His eyes snapped open as he gazed at her intently. After a herce internal struggle, he couldn’t bring himself to let we assist him on an empty stomach. He closed his eyes once more, resolved to manage on his own. Knowing she was a distraction to him, she quietly left the room and waited outside. After a while, he emerged, his expression calm and composeil, his eyes clear
Considering Cynthia had missed two meals, and realizing that finding a restaurant would take too long, Liam decided to take her straight to the company cafeteria. The employer cafeteria at Sullivan Group occupied its own floor, boasting chefs whose skills rivaled those of Michelin–starred restaurants. When they arrived, the cafeteria was nearly empty, the lunch rush fawing subsided. Liam seated Cynthia at a table and went to fetch their food.
The caletena manager, upon seeing the CEO suddenly show up, thought it might be an inspection and personally attended to Liam. Liam selected a few dishes that he knew Cynthia liked. The manager generously filled Liam’s plate, but his hands trembled uncontrollably throughout the
process.
“You don’t need to be nervous. I’m just here to cat.” Lim glanced at the cafeteria manager and reassured him before carrying the tray back to Cynthia
The employees
yees nearby watched in shark, their eyes widening as they began to whisper amongst themselves. “Mr. Sullivan spoils his wife so much. He even gets the food for her. It makes him even more attractive, remarked one person
“I think Mrs. Sullivan is gorgeous too. Her features are perfect, and her skin is flawless. Only someone like her could be a match for our CEO added another.
Everyone had
something to say, at knowing about Liam’s temper, they kept their voices down Cynthia, sitting at her table, smiled kindly at the employees who passed by. Those employees left the cafeteria nearly jumping with excitement
“I can’t believe it! Mrs. Sullivan is so nice. She actually smiled at me one exclaimed.
“Me too! Mrs. Sullivan smiled at me as well, another chimed in
Excitedly, these employees rushed to the company chat group to share their experiences and praise Cynthia. Others who had witnessed i joined in, sparking an unprecedented buzz in the group,
