Chapter 343
Vivian Bennett looked at Liam Sullivan's serious expression.
He was clearly suggesting they move in together.
Was it the right time to live together now?
Her cheeks instantly flushed with heat.
Her lips parted slightly.
Her voice came out shy and hesitant. "Maybe I can move in later?"
Liam understood her stubbornness.
His fingertips gently brushed her cheek.
He gave a self-deprecating smile. "We're like a weekend couple now."
"Only seeing each other once a week."
"It feels like something is missing."
Vivian's heartbeat quickened.
Weekend couple?
It did seem that way.
She was about to speak.
But Liam spoke first with commanding authority. "You're moving to my place tomorrow."
He didn't stay long at the hospital.
Vivian urged him to leave.
She needed to stay with her cousin.
She also worried about his heavy workload.
She wanted him to rest early.
The next evening.
Vivian had just left the company.
She saw Ryan Johnson standing beside a black car.
He respectfully opened the car door. "Miss Bennett, the CEO sent me to pick you up."
Vivian hadn't expected Liam to actually send someone.
This man was too domineering.
Seeing Ryan's determined stance.
She knew refusal was impossible.
She sighed softly.
Reluctantly, she got into the car.
The drive took about half an hour.
They arrived at Emerald Estate.
Vivian entered using the passcode.
Ryan made a call after seeing her enter.
"Miss Bennett is at Emerald Estate."
"She probably won't go out today."
He hung up after speaking.
Vivian felt exhausted after a long workday.
She could barely keep her eyes open.
She took a shower and collapsed onto the bed.
She woke up hours later.
Feeling refreshed, she went to the kitchen.
The refrigerator was stocked with fruits.
All prepared by Liam.
She couldn't help but smile.
This man was quite thoughtful.
She selected a few fruits and washed them.
She used the blender to make a juice.
Then she cooked some pasta.
Liam returned just as she finished eating.
Before she could speak.
He pressed her against the wall.
His burning kisses landed on her eyebrows and eyes.
They brushed past the tip of her nose.
Covered the corners of her mouth.
Finally settling on her shoulder blades.
Vivian's legs weakened until she couldn't stand.
She started sliding down.
Liam held her waist.
They slowly moved to the sofa.
Sinking together into the soft cushions.
In the warm late autumn sunlight.
Their intimacy gradually intensified.
This time he was exceptionally gentle.
Exceptionally restrained.
Not as insatiable as before.
