Chapter 166: Yet To Learn Proper Kissing

Mrs. Huang, who witnessed Lana kissing Liam on her own accord, was exhilarated by that marvelous scene in front of her. She smiled broadly and her eyes turned misty. Beside her was their butler who said, "Madame, I will right now inform our security team to come back since Sir Liam is back…"

Mrs. Huang nodded and replied, "Yes. My son-in-law is safe and sound, and I am not worried anymore now. There is no need to check the hospitals or any other place anymore. Also inform the Sys family that Liam is already here, healthy and unscratched."

When Lana started running out to go and find Liam a while ago, she had instructed their butler to contact the Sy's as well and personally asked them about Liam since she was worried because Lana could not contact him. They were also all worried when they heard the Dami bridge news and when they received the call from Huang Mansion they also started looking for Liam.

After a while, Liam released Lana's lips reluctantly and raised the paper bag he was holding for quite sometime now.

"I recalled mom said that you like the cinnamon bread from that bakery near the next junction, so I stopped by to buy you this. I guess that was when the collapse of Dami bridge happened since I watched it in the flash news while paying for this. I was nowhere around the bridge at that time." Liam explained while he wiped Lana's tears that were still falling from her eyes.

Somewhere Liam was very happy to find her worried for him, but her tears also broke his heart and he just wrapped her small waist in his arm and embraced the sobbing Lana to comfort her.

"Let's go up first since this pose is a bit uncomfortable to maintain for a long time on the stairs. One wrong move and we will both fall from the staircase. Plus, we are already attracting curious audiences," Liam murmured and helped Lana to climb up the stairs.

"Mom." Liam greeted and held Lana's hand as they went up the stairs. Mrs. Huang hugged him as soon as they reached the second floor.

"Thank God son you're safe," Mrs. Huang with a sigh of relief whispered, getting a little emotional after so much tension.

"I am sorry mom. I got you both worried since we all often use the Dami Bridge on the way here." Liam then explained to Mrs. Huang how he was not on the bridge when the collapse happened. He was lucky, or it was not his time yet to face such an accident.

"Mom, here, your favorite banana loaf." Liam handed her one of the paper bags from his hand.

Mrs. Huang laughed and accepted the paper bag. "Oh, God, no wonder you are so charming, you remembered I mentioned that bakery to you last time." she gasped.

Liam nodded. He felt bad for missing dinner with them, so when he passed by the bakery his mother-in-law mentioned earlier, he asked Andrew to turn around and stopped over to get the favourite loafs of both Lana and her mother. His mother-in-law had told him everything Lana likes and loves, mostly Lana's most favorite food items, and the cinnamon loaf and rolls from that bakery was one of them.

"Yes indeed, mom. Fortunately, it saved my life. If I hadn't decided to buy the bread and changed the route to go to stop in the bakery, I'd probably be at the Dami Bridge at the time of collapse. Andrew took a different route once we found out about the incident. All the roads going towards the Dami were closed. See mom, that is why one must always pamper womenfolk at home, my Lady luck saved me today,"

"Okay, you must be tired. Go now and you two rest…" Mrs. Huang said, signaling them to go to their bedroom.

They both obeyed her words, but Lana walked faster than Liam after bidding her mother goodnight and went inside first. Liam followed her and saw her walk towards the bed directly.

'Is she mad at me?' Liam mused but then grinned, recalling how worried Lana was for his safety. He did not bother Lana much and put the paper bag of her favorite cinnamon rolls on the table. He picked his bathrobe, went inside the bathroom and took a quick shower first, then changed to his sleepwear.

He walked to the bed and sat on it to join Lana to sleep. He was itching to tease her about that sudden kiss but her silence was worrying him.

"Who said that you can sleep here huh?" He heard Lana grunted with her back facing him since she lay sideways.

Liam gulped. A while ago she was too worried for his safety and even kissed him herself on top of that. Now she sounded annoyed and was rejecting him right away? He sighed, wondering why women were often so complicated.

He decided to ignore her grumpiness. He slid under the quilt and joined her on the bed.

"Are you mad at me?" Liam whispered while moving closer to her.

Silence… Lana was outrightly ignoring him...

"How about the cinnamon rolls? Would you like a bite with coffee or tea as a snack? Lana, I know you're still awake. Lana, please reply..." Liam muttered, but there was still no response.

He heard Lana exhale loudly before she abruptly sat up and glared at him.

"I couldn't reach your freaking mobile phone! I called you repeatedly, but you didn't pick the phone. What is the use of having a mobile if I can not reach you even in urgent situations? Throw away that useless mobile phone! Do you know how worried I was?!" she hissed. She called him so many times, but he was not picking up

She shrugged her shoulders, seeing the sudden wide smile that curved on Liam's beautiful face before he replied, "I am sorry Lana, I will always carry the mobile with me from now on. I forgot to take it with me and left it in the car when I went to queue up to buy the bread. I am really sorry to make you worried like this."

"But… You were worried for me… Why?" Liam asked, intently staring at her.

Lana gulped. Transfixed at that moment, she stuttered, "I mean mom and I both were so worried thinking you could be there on the bridge… and your phone kept on ringing but there was no reply, then I called Andrew's mobile phone, and even his number was busy."

Liam had a cheeky grin on his face that made Lana hold her breath. He seemed not content with her answer and his looks showed that he was planning to dig in her more.

Lana panicked, so she scoffed, "Never mind all that now. What has happened, had happened. Let's go to sleep now. Go to your sleeping place now."

She laid on the bed and moved her body sideways with her back facing Liam again. She felt Liam's arm snaking around her waist while his hot breath fell on her nape and hair.

"I really liked it," Liam whispered in her ear, chuckling. "I mean of course I like to sleep with you like this, but I was very happy to see how you nagged me like a wife. And also how you kissed me downstairs a while ago. Maybe we should practice doing that. Kissing a lot… as I feel you have yet to learn proper kissing." he teasingly added.
