Chapter 54

She instinctively reached for the soup bowl.

Liam Sullivan insisted on bringing the spoon to her lips.

Vivian Bennett had no choice but to take a sip.

The broth was rich and flavorful.

It wasn't overly seasoned, relying purely on the natural taste of the ingredients.

She couldn't help but take a few more sips.

Before she knew it, nearly half the bowl was gone.

Liam had fed her every single spoonful.

Vivian suddenly jolted back to reality.

She had actually let Liam Sullivan personally feed her soup.

This man was the lofty CEO of a major conglomerate.

How dare she?

Her cheeks burned with embarrassment as she hurriedly stood up.

But Liam grabbed her wrist.

With a gentle pull, he pressed her back onto the sofa.

"Eat."

He served her a bowl of rice and handed it to her.

Vivian sat rigidly, completely at a loss.

"Mr. Sullivan, I..."

She struggled to speak.

Liam raised an eyebrow. "You don't like it?"

Vivian quickly nodded.

The next second, he wrapped an arm around her waist.

He pulled her onto his lap.

Vivian's eyes widened in shock.

"Mr. Sullivan, don't..." She blushed, trying to struggle free.

"Don't what?" Liam's gaze was intense. "I'm just making sure you eat properly."

Vivian was left speechless.

How could she possibly eat properly like this?

"Eat." His voice was low and insistent.

Vivian lowered her eyes. "I'm not very hungry..."

"Not hungry?"

Liam suddenly leaned in close.

His warm breath brushed against her cheek.

"Should I have you instead?"

Vivian's eyelashes fluttered, thinking she must have misheard.

Her face instantly flushed crimson all the way to her ears.

How could this man...

"I'm hungry again..." she hastily corrected herself.

Terrified he might actually follow through.

Liam placed some dishes into her bowl. "Eat first."

Vivian's hand trembled, her heart racing.

Eat first?

Did that mean after eating he would...

Her cheeks turned even redder.

Her mind raced, searching for an escape plan.

Liam watched her flustered expression, a slight smile touching his lips.

The food in front of her was exquisite and delicious.

But Vivian had no appetite.

"Mr. Sullivan, I've had several boyfriends. I'm promiscuous. I'm not worth your attention."

She bit her lip and spoke.
