A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 245

Ziv dared not to say anything as he quietly placed the paper on his desk. As he turned to walk away, he heard Liam’s icy voice. There’s a woman and a man who love each other. Nothing stands in between them. Why, in your opinion, does she not want kids?”

LENA

Ziv paused, his mind racing. He roared internally, “What does Mr. Sullivan mean? Did he have a fight with Mrs. Sullivan about having children? But why ask me? I’m a bachelor who knows nothing about those issues!

Liam waited for a long time without a reply from Ziv. He looked up from the document and stared at Ziv intensely. Ziv felt even more nervous, and sweat started to form on his forehead. Finally, he mustered up the courage and stammered, “Mr. Sullivan, I think Mrs. Sullivan might just feel she’s still young, or maybe you both are too busy right now to have a baby.”

After Ziv I

finished speaking, he felt the air around him grow even colder.

Liam narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, “Did I say the question was about me!”

Ziv was dumbfounded. He felt a slight headache coming on and became more alert. Sweat dripped down from his forehead to his cheeks. Liam was a busy man. Ziv believed he wouldn’t have time to worry about others. Therefore, he hadn’t considered other possibilities.

Ziv really had no experience with these matters, and he was afraid of saying the wrong thing again, With a pained expression, he pleaded, “Mr. Sullivan, I don’t even have a girlfriend. How can I know about these things? Please spare me.

Liam waved his hand in disgust. “You’re useless Inform the others that we must now inquire job applicants about their marital status.”

Ziv was disheartened as he left the office. He wondered, ‘Did I just get judged because I don’t have a girlfriend? Succeeding in one’s career is becoming increasingly challenging. It’s not just about having professional expertise anymore. Experience in relationships is also crucial. Looks like I need to find a girlfriend soon

Ziv immediately found a quiet place to call and asked his mother to arrange a blind date for him.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office, Liam was distracted, and his work efficiency suffered. Finally, he threw the documents aside irritably, grabbed his car keys, and got up to leave.

He drove out from the underground parking lot and searched for a pharmacy on the street. A staff member greeted him as he entered. “Hello, what can I do for you?”

The staff was a young girl. Her eyes lit up when she saw Liam, It was the first time she had seen such a good–looking man. Liam was even more handsome than the celebrities she admired, but his powerful mura made her hesitate to look directly at him.

Liam ignored her gaze and spoke with a cold expression, “I need some contraceptive pills.”

Hearing this, the admiration on the girl’s face suddenly disappeared. Turns out he’s just another guy who doesn’t want to take responsibility after being with someone. It seems that the more handsome people were, the less reliable they would be.”

The staff took out several contraceptives and informed Liam of their prices.

“I want the one with the fewest side effects. Are there any other medications that can help reduce the side effects of contraceptives? Liam asked

The staff friched two more boxes of vitamins and placed them next to the contraceptives. “You can take these together.”

Looking at the words [Contraceptive Pills) on the box, Liam hesitated for a moment. After a pause, he asked, “What should we take if we become

“Folic acid, the staff said.

“Give me a box of that, too,” Liam sakl.

The staff stared at him in surprise and asked, “Are you looking for birth control or are you planning for pregnancy?”

Liam

gave a cold stare and said firmly, “Just give me the medication. No need to ask anything else? Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

The staff was intimidated by Liam’s icy demeanor and didn’t dare to say another word. After handing over the items, the staff reminded him, “I you’re planning to have a baby, avoid taking contraceptive pills.”

Liam left the pharmacy when it was time to get off work. After getting back to the car, he called Cynthia.

Meanwhile, Cynthia was about to get off work.

She intended to return to the Sullivan residence, but Hallet was reluctant to be there. While they argued, Liam called, Cynthia glanced at the stubborn Hallet and answered the phone. “Hello”

“Have you finished work! I’m coming to pick you up. The man’s low, magnetic voice calmed Cynthia, who had just been arguing with Hallet.

Liam asked. “Did you drive”

“Yes,” Cynthia said

“Then let him drive your car back to Regalian Garden, and I take you back to the Sullivan residence. Liam said.

“Well, I don’t seem to have other choices, Cynthia said.

After hanging up the phone, Cynthia handed over the car key to Hallet.

Liam’s car soon stopped at the gate of the company, Cynthia opened the passenger door and found a bag of medicine on the seat, with a bottle of

water next to it.

Cynthia got in the car, took the medicine in her hand, and said with a smile, Thank you. Honey.”

nent, then turned her head i

her head in confusion.

Then, she opened the bag. Inside, she saw folic acid and birth control pills, Cynthia was stunned for a moment, Liam noticed Cynthia’s gaze and smoothly merged the car

car onto the main road. Although he appeared calm, his grip on the steering wheel betrayed his nervousness. He cleared his throat and said softly, “Cynthia, I didn’t take precautions last night. I’m sorry. Emergency contraceptive pills can have side effects. If you don’t want to take them, I’m prepared. We can….

Liam didn’t finish his sentence. He paused briefly before continuing. “But I respect your decision. Whatever y

you choose, I’ll accept it.”

Cynthia suddenly felt her heart racing. She turned to look out the window and tried to calm herself down. She held the medicine in her hand for a long time, the packaging almost becoming deformed. She hesitated, unmoving. She understood what Liam meant. It wasn’t that she couldn’t have children now, but their careers weren’t stable yet, and she feared it might overwhelm her.

Most importantly, she harbored a hint of selfishness in her heart. Liam had mentioned a wedding at the border before. All girls wanted a gorgeous wedding, even if they didn’t say it. She didn’t want to wear a wedding dress with a big belly

They didn’t speak all the way. Both were nervous.

When they returned to the Sullivan residence, Jasmine had already cooked dinner. These tasks could have been handled by the servant, but Jasmine insisted on doing them herself upon learning of Cynthia’s visit.

Cynthia returned with the medicine in her hand and went straight to the bedroom. Jasmine noticed the tension between them and playfully slapped Liam on the back. “Did you make my granddaughter–in–law angry? Come on. Go and make it right.”

Liam’s mind was preoccupied with thoughts of which medicine Cynthia would choose to take. He felt a bit hurt after being slapped. “Grandma, we didn’t have a fight. Just leave us alone!

Jasmine shot her grandson a warning look. “You’d better not If I find that Cynthia is in a bad mood later, you will suffer.”
