Liam walked into the living room and came to the pot of clam soup. The food had gone cold and didn’t look good.
Liam sat at the dining table, filled a bowl, and took a spoonful. His expression froze for a moment. He thought. “The taste is indescribable
He wondered if Cynthia had put too much salt or something. It was the first time he had tasted something like this. But knowing that Cynthia had made it especially for him, he wouldn’t waste it, no matter how bad it tasted
He soon finished a few bowls of soup.
When Jasmine went upstairs, she didn’t tell Cynthia that Liam was back. So after Cynthia finished her treatment session with David, she waited for him to fall asleep before leaving the roomL
When she went back to the bedroom and passed by the corridor, she caught a glimpse of Liam eating with his head down in the living room. The pot looked familiar,
Thinking of something, she ran down quickly
When she saw what Liam was eating, panic Blashed across Cynthia’s face, and she quickly grabbed it I asked someone to throw this away. Why are you still eating it?”
Liam looked at Cynthia, who suddenly appeared, and smiled. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he said calmly. “Didn’t you make this for
me?”
Then, he went to get the bowl in Cynthia’s hand.
Cynthia snatched the pot and took it away.
Looking T half of the soup that had disappeared from the pot, Cynthia blushed and said with embarrassment. This soup failed. I’ve tried it. It’s nasty. Don’t eat it Why torture your own stomach?” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Then, she walked to the kitchen and was about to dispose of the soup
Liam hurriedly followed, grabbed the bowl from behind, and ate all the food inside.
Cynthia’s mouth dropped open in shock as she watched Liam finish the bowl of soup without even frowning. She started to doubt whether Liam had no sense of taste. She had tasted the soup. The food was so nasty that she couldn’t even swallow it at all.
Cynthia stared at Liam’s calm face and asked cautiously. “Are you okay?”
Liam raised his eyebrows and wiped his mouth with a tissue. “I have to eat the food my wife made for me no matter what. Besides, I think it’s delicious.
Cynthis was quite self–aware and knew he was just trying to comfort her. To prevent Liam from finishing the rest of the soup, she quickly disposed of it. As she was about to wash the dishes, Liam hugged her from behind. “Leave it there. Someone will wash it tomorrow.”
Cynthia put down the tableware and turned around to stare at Liam. “It tastes terrible, Why were you being so mean to yourself”
Liam smiled slightly and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. He held Cynthia tightly and habitually buried his face in her neck. “Cynthia, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you worked so hard cooking for me today, or I would have definitely come back,”
Cynthia frowned and shook her head in confusion. “Don’t say sorry. Besides, 1 ruined this pot of soup. Even if you come back, I won’t let you eat it. I know you will be very busy these days because of the delay, and I won’t mind it,”
The more understanding Cynthia was, the more Liam blamed himself for choosing that day to meet Cameron and the others.
“Aren’t you angry?” he asked.
“Why should I be angry?” Cynthia asked back, her eyes bright. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows, looking suspicious. “Did you wrong me?” “Never” Liam straightened up and looked solemnly at Cynthia, almost wanting to take an oath on the s
spol.
Cynthia laughed. “Okay. Just kidding. I believe you”
Then, she withdrew from the man’s arms and planned to go b
back to her bedroom.
At that moment, Liam felt increasingly upset. Despite not having done anything wrong to Cynthia, he still felt quite guilty. Regardless of his intentions, he had lied tonight
As Jasmine had warned, if Cynthia found out about his lie, it could spell trouble. The most important thing in a marriage was honesty. He could

already imagine himself lying more frequently in pursuit of his goal.
If it happened once, there would likely be a second time before it eventually became a habit. This contradicted his goal of preventing any potential crisis in their marriage.
And if he needed to tell so many lies just to keep up a surprise, it seemed the surprise served no purpose.
Thinking of this, Liam decided not to hide it anymore. He pulled Cynthia back and held her in his arms. He pursed his lips and spoke in a deep voice. “Cynthia, I didn’t work overtime tonight.”
Cynthia looked up and happened to see the man’s hesitant face. Her heart skipped a beat. “Did you really do something wrong to me?”
“No, I was with Vincent and the rest tonight. I wanted them to secretly help me prepare for the wedding. I was planning to surprise you, but now I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want to keep telling lie after lie just for a surprise Liam lowered his head and looked very serious.
Cynthia stared at him for a long time, silently digesting what he had just said.
Just when Liam thought she would be angry, Cynthia suddenly smiled. Thank you for telling me. I won’t be upset about this. However, a wedding is a significant event in our lives. As much as I appreciate the surprise, I prefer to be involved in planning it according to my own preferences. That way, it will be a cherished memory for me forever.”
“Aren’t you a
angry that I lied to your Liam said nervously.
Cynthia reached out and pinched the bridge of Liam’s nose. “There is nothing to be angry about. You are doing this for me. But don’t do it again. It will affect the trust between us.”“
greatly relieved. He relaxed and lowered his head to kiss Cynthia on the lips. “Thank you for your forgiveness,
Hearing Cynthia’s words, Liam was g Honey.”
Then, they went upstairs hand in hand.
Liam didn’t go to the study that night. Instead, after returning to his room, he went to the bathroom to wash up. When he emerged, he was clad only in a bath towel wrapped around his walst. Water droplets trickled down his cheeks and chest, disappearing into the towel secured at his waist. As if intentionally, he didn’t rush to blow dry his hair but lingered in front of Cynthia.
Cynthia was leaning against the bed and reading the medical manual. Seeing Liam, her face flushed slightly. Even though she had seen this scene many times, it made her heart beat faster every time.
She quickly lowered her head and pretended to read the book.
Liam noticed her reddened ears and felt a sense of satisfaction. He sat down beside Cynthia with a hairdryer, then before she could react, he placed his hands on both sides of her and pulled her into his arms.
The water from his hair dripped onto the book, quickly soaking the pages Cynthia was shocked and hurriedly put away the book.
She glared at the man. “What are you doing? It’s an old book. Be careful not to damage it,”
