Chapter 243
Liam was nowhere in sight, even after Cynthia finished checking on David’s leg. Feeling curious, she returned to their room. The woman opened the door and found that the lights in the bedroom were on, but she didn’t see Liam. Running water came from the bathroom, indicating that he was showering. Liam’s phone was on the bed. The screen was lit, showing Cameron’s call. The call ended while Cynthia was absent–minded, but soon il rang again. She thought it was something urgent, so she took the phone to the bathroom. Then, Cynthia accidentally answered the call while opening the door,
With that, Cameron’s teasing voice soon came. “Liam, why didn’t you tell me that you’ve come back? I wouldn’t have known that you were back if Vincent didn’t tell me. Did you forget about us now that you have a wife?” He sounded casual as he thought he was speaking to Liam.
Cynthia hesitated with her hand on the doorknob. After a while, she put the phone to her ear and said in embarrassment, “H–Hmm, Liam is taking a shower. Wait a minute. I’ll bring the phone to him. Then, she turned the doorknob.
Cameron was stunned, immediately becoming serious when he realized what was happening. “Cynthia, it’s nothing important. Don’t mind me. He wanted to hang up.
At this time, Cynthia had cracked the door open. Steam billowed out from the bathroom. Along with it emerged a muscular, water–droplet–covered arm. Liam grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her into the bathroom. “Ah!” she exclaimed in surprise, only to find herself pressed against the wall moments later.
A predatory intent enveloped Cynthia. At this time, Liam was naked and covered in steam, fixing his eyes before him. “I can’t calm down. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
kiss.
Cynthia opened her mouth in surprise, giving Liam a chance to deepen the ki
Meanwhile, Cameron heard Cynthia’s gasp. Initially, he thought something was wrong until the latter’s moan came from the phone. Only then did he realize what had happened. The man cursed the couple silently and hung up.
The kiss left Cynthia weak as the phone fell to the ground with a loud noise. Startled by it, she panted. “The phone”
“Leave it.” Liam deepened the kiss further to regain Cynthia’s attention. He took Cynthia under the shower, adjusted the water temperature to warm, and washed her personally.
Cynthia felt the warmth of the water and the enthusiasm the man showed, feeling like she was walking on clouds. The woman was too tired to move two hours later, finally understanding what Liam had said earlier. She looked at the energetic man bitterly and secretly swore that she would never disturb him again when he took a shower
Liam carried her to the bed and dried her hair with a hairdryer. He was gentle, lacking the wild and forceful manner he displayed moments ago in the bathroom.
Cynthia was so tired that she fell asleep amid the hairdryer’s noise.
After finishing the task, Liam covered her with the quilt before leaving. He needed to finish his accumulated work from Sullivan Group in the study as soon as possible.

The call was answered quickly.
Cynthia fell into the quilt and said softly. “Have you gone to work?”
“Yeah. You were sleeping soundly when I left, so I didn’t bother you” Liam browsed the document rapidly and signed his name on the back page. “Do you have a lot of work piled up these few days?” Cynthia felt a little guilty, musing that they should have come back carlier. Matters must have piled up like mountains in a large conglomerate like Sullivan Group after Liam was absent for so long,
“Just a little. I work efficiently, and they will be done soon. Liam smiled. Even though he knew they were talking on the phone and Cynthia couldn’t see his expression, he wanted to show his best before his lover.
Cynthia felt even more guilty as she listened to Liam’s words. “You should have told me earlier so that we could come back sooner and you wouldn’t have to work so hard. I don’t want you to be so tired.”
Liam felt a comforting warmth in his heart because of her concern, “Cynthia, just as you don’t want me to be so tired, I also want to make you happy. These matters can be done anytime, so I didn’t want to interrupt your precious time with Master Buckley and Master Garten. He motioned Ziv, who brought more documents, to be quiet. Then, Lam said dotingly, “All right. Go get your breakfast now. Aren’t you heading to the office Later?”
Cynthia knew he was busy, so even though she had a lot on her mind, she obediently refrained from disturbing him. “Well, don’t overexert yourself. You can take a short rest, okay?”
“Got it,” Liam answered
Cynthia hung up and got out of bed. As she washed up, she suddenly realized that Liam hadn’t used a condom last night. In the Sullivan residence, there were none available. Despite this, Liam had been passionate and intense, and Cynthia wasn’t in her safe period, raising the possibility of pregnancy. Resolving to buy emergency contraception later, she finished her routine and headed downstairs for breakfast.
The living room was lively, as David and Hallet chatted happily at the table.
Cynthia raised her eyebrows in surprise. She mused, ‘Did Hallet knock his head? Why did he wake up so early?
David noticed her and waved his hand. “Morning, Cynthia. Come over for breakfast.”” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Cynthia sat down at the dining table and greeted, “Morning, Grandpa David Morning, Grandma Jasmine.”
Jasmine acknowledged her happily and passed her a bowl of soup. “Cynthia, try this. I made this. Tell me whether it’s nice
Cynthia took it and drank a small sip before taking another big sip. Then, she gave her thumbs up. “Grandma Jasmine, the soup tastes good. When will you teach me how to cook it?”
Jasmine grinned as she watched Cynthia finish the soup she had cooked. “You don’t have to learn it. You can ask your husband to cook for you Cynthia knew Liam was a good cook, but she didn’t want to rely on him for everything. She also wanted to do something for him. Cynthia wanted them to become a couple who could go through life’s ups and downs together.
