Chapter 574
Liam was no smooth operator when it came to flirting. He may not be gentle, but he’s definitely not rough. But with this kiss, oh boy, Celeste got a taste of what it’s like to be manhandled.

He was practically gnawing at her lips.
Almost instantly, she was engulfed by his scent. Surprised and embarrassed, she opened her mouth to bite him.
Liam, having been on the receiving end of her wrath too many times, was ready for her. The moment she bared her teeth, he gripped her
chin.
With one hand bound above her head and a cup in the other, she didn’t hesitate to splash the contents of the cup on Liam’s face.
Liam only paused for a moment.
Droplets of water slid down his nose and hung off the tip.
Liam lowered his head and rubbed the droplet on Celeste’s lips, then slowly kissed it away.
When actions slowed down, they become particularly suggestive.
Celeste’s cheeks flushed. She gripped the cup, eyed Liam’s head for a few seconds, and finally smacked it against his shoulder.
Liam frowned and let go of her lips.
He wiped the water off her face and murmured, “When I married you, I didn’t care if you were a heiress or someone’s daughter. I just didn’t care.”
Celeste, her chin still in his grip, couldn’t respond.
She signaled for him to let go, holding back her anger.
Liam hesitated, then released her.
Celeste picked up a random object from the entrance and hurled it at him, saying, “I don’t care if you care! Who said you could kiss me?!”
She didn’t hold back, and Liam, not fighting back, could only raise his arm to block.
She hit his elbow, and his face instantly paled.
Celeste gritted her teeth and said, “Stop pretending!”
Liam replied, “I’m not; my shoulder hurts.”
“Then go home if it hurts!” Celeste said, opening the door, “Get out now!”
Liam looked down at his shirt and said, “How am I supposed to leave like this?”
His shirt was wet and had become transparent.
Celeste glanced at him and said, “You’re not a woman; what are you so shy about?”
Liam replied, “Don’t I have some dignity?”
Celeste thought to herself, Why didn’t I see you being so dignified earlier?
She took another look at Liam. Was his shirt made of silk? Just look at him; he’s a wet dream come true.
It was satisfying to see all three members of the Reed family get doused with water.
Celeste pursed her lips and said, “Call Owen to bring over a change of clothes.”
Liam replied indifferently, “Owen is on a date with his girlfriend. And it’s after work hours.”
Celeste looked at him. Was he really such a benevolent boss?
Seeing that Celeste didn’t respond, Liam asked, “Don’t you have a dryer here?”
“No.”
“Where’s your hair dryer?”
“Don’t have one.”
Liam frowned. “Then what do you have?”
Celeste crossed her arms and gave him a sidelong glance. “Natural gas, want it?”
Ten minutes later, Liam was shirtless, holding his shirt over the gas stove to dry.
In the small apartment with an open kitchen, Celeste could see Liam from the living room.

He was wearing suit pants, shirtless. The muscles on his back moved with the shaking of his shirt, making it quite a sight.
