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

Chapter 430

Liam didn’t say a word. He held Cynthia’s foot in his hand and removed her high heels, revealing her reddened toes.

Frowning even more, Liam cradled her foot in his hand and reproached her with concem. “It’s hurting this much and you didn’t say anything?”

Cynthia lowered her head, umiling sheepishly.

Despite the continuous stream of incoming guests, all eyes were inadvertently drawn to them. Cynthia attempted to retract her foot, but Liam intensified his grip.

“Be still and be careful, Liam said sternly. He then applied ointment to Cynthia’s sore toes, massaged them gently, and slipped the fluffy slippers on her feet. Throughout this process, he knelt before Cynthia without caring about the onlookers,

After finishing, Liam promptly discarded the high heels in the trash and returned solemnly, saying. “You shouldn’t wear heels anymore. You are Mrs. Sullivan now. Even if you attended tonight’s event in pajamas, people would still admire how good you look. Don’t suffer needlessly for trivial things, okay!”

Listening to his words, Cynthia felt warm inside. With a mischievous smile on her face, she held Liam’s arm and swayed back and forth, playfully saying “Darling, I understand. Today is Grandma’s birthday, please don’t be so serious,”

Liam couldn’t resist Cynthia’s playfulness. He wagged his index finger lightly on her forehead and said helplessly. I have no power over you.”

“Oh. you two showing affection here, Haller’s voice came from nearby,

As they turned around, they saw Vincent, Queena, and Mila approaching, accompanied by Hallet and Cameron, all dressed elegantly. Liam and Cynthia greeted the group as they stood up. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

You

must be as familiar here as I am, so feel free tonight. If it’s not too much trouble, please help us attend to the guests inside, Liam instructed without hesitation.

Vincent and the others were used to this. Jasmine had ahrays been kind to them when they were kids, and visiting the Sullivan residence felt like coming home Helping out at Jasmine’s birthday party seemed only natural.

After exchanging pleasantries, Vincent patted Liam’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, we’ll take care of the guests inside

Once the men left. Queena and Mila, the two girls, stayed outside. Since they wouldn’t be of much help inside, they decided to chat with Cynthia outdoors

By now, it was already past 7:40, and most of the guests had arrived. Seeing the women engrossed in conversation, Liam suggested to Cynthia, “Why don’t you go in and join them I’ll wait for Jonathan a bit longer.”

T’d rather stay here with you.” Cynthia shook her head. She didn’t want Liam to be alone.

Liam’s family was relatively small, with his parents having passed away early, leaving him as the primary head of the family. While other tasks could be delegated events like Jasmine’s birthday banquet required Liam’s personal touch

Cynthia didn’t want to leave him by himself. She wanted him to know that she was by his side whenever he needed her.

Cynthia turned to Queena and Mila with an apologetic expression. “You two go in first, I’ll join you after I’m done here”

Understanding Cynthia’s message, Queena and Mila walked hand in hand inside. After the two had left, Liam embraced Cynthia, gently pressing his lips to her forehead. “Cynthia, I love you.”

“I love you too,” Cynthia expressed her feelings without hesitation. The two held each other in the night’s embrace.

After a while, Jonathan arrived, but he wasn’t alone. A woman accompanied lim

Cynthia found the woman somewhat familiar. After a few seconds, it struck her this woman was the police officer. After she had taken Jonathan away from the bar that day, the events that followed remained unknown. Unexpectedly, both of them were now attending the banquet together.

What was going on? Cynthia knew the police officer had no connection to the Sullivan family, so her only identity here could be Jonathan’s companion. She couldn’t help but wonder what had happened between the two of them later on

As the duo approached, Jonathan greeted Liam and Cynth before introducing. “This is my girlfriend, Reina”

“Girlfriend? If 1 remember correctly, these two have only met a few days ago. Now they are already girlfriend and boyfriend – they are moving quite fast Cynthia thought.

Liam and Cynthia exchanged a glance. In a rare moment, Cynthia also saw surprise in Liam’s eyes. But it was a Berting moment as Liam composed himself. “Vincent and the others are already inside, why don’t you go in first?”

Clupter 430

After bidding farewell to Liam and Cynthia, Jonathan led Reina inside. Once the two had gone inside, Cynthia leaned over and gossiped, “What’s the deal with those two? Just a few days ago, that female police other was all angry and ready to arrest Jonathan. Now she’s his girlfriend”

Liam shook his head. “I don’t know, but Jonathan seemed to be energized again today. It must be because of that girl. As long as she doesn’t harm Jonathan, it’s fine

Cynthia agreed. Though her interactions with Jonathan had been brief, she noticed a change in him ever since Thomas passed away. Only in the presence of that particular girl did he regain some of his former self.

Cynthia and Liam had encountered their fair share of serendipitous moments, so they hoped the same for Jonathan. If someone could divert his attention, perhaps he would recover from the blow of Thomas’s death more quickly.

With the banquet about to begin, Liam wrapped an arm around Cynthia’s shoulder as they walked inside.

Meanwhile, Katelyn and Marina were hiding behind a tree not far from the entrance.

Marina’s face was filled with anger, furiously tearing at leaves. “Grandma, what do we do now? Did that old lady respond to your message?”

She felt the urge to rush in and take Jonathan back from that woman immediately. Marina thought to herself, I was the one who met Jonathan first, yet this cursed cop beat me to it. She dares to steal my man, so I’ll make her pay!

Katelyn pulled out her phone and checked Jasmine’s message again, which still lingered a few days old.

The message implied that she had received their well–wishes and, to avoid further conflicts with Cynthia, they were not invited to the birthday banquet. Upon reading the message, Katelyn’s expression darkened.
