Chapter 348: Cheating!

Chapter 348: Cheating!

Liam met Drey at the military headquarters that day.

"Yes bro…" Drey asked as he welcomed him into his office. Liam sat on his couch and talked to him about the incident at Head Prison.

"Yes, Lana contacted me about it before, and I've already told her that the forensic report has confirmed the DNA test result of his father among the other dead bodies found." Drey commented as he poured some tea for Liam.

Liam heaved a long deep sigh and voiced out his thoughts, "I don't know why but somehow I still feel uneasy, Drey. I actually wanted to ask for your help to look into it more. I met Lana's father before and just in a glance I could tell how cunning the man was. The last report I had got on him was that there was someone influential behind him. We failed to discover who it was though, especially now it is more impossible that he is gone."

"To be honest, I keep telling myself it is already over and me and Lana can finally have peace but for some reason… There's this one voice inside of me that is still restless, Drey." Liam continued. He had also instructed his security team to look more into it closely while he had mobilized his best network to continue checking out whoever was behind Martin. The same person who kept feeding him details about Lana all those years.

Drey exhaled loudly and said, "I can understand where you're coming from Liam, especially now that Lana is pregnant. Don't worry, I will do whatever I can. I will make sure that Lana's safety is guaranteed."

The two of them talked some more before Liam bade his farewell to leave and planned to surprise his wife in her office for lunch.

He grabbed his mobile phone and called her.

"Love… What are you doing?" he asked with a cheerful tone.

"Here… Giving counselling to clients," she answered with a downcasted tone.

"What's wrong?" Liam asked.

"Nothing, just the report about him. Do you think he's really dead?" Lana asked.

"Don't worry about it, love.?I'm having everything cross-checked. Right now, just focus on our baby, okay?" Liam reassured.

"I miss you…" Lana mumbled.

Liam had a wide smile on his face after hearing that. "I told you… You can stay with me at work. Just assist me there, love."

Lana sighed deeply and said, "Yeah, I'm planning to do that. You see, I already talked to a senior of mine who is willing to relieve me while I'm pregnant. Maybe you know her."

"Who?" Liam asked.

"Lyra… She's Zach's sister. Keira's sister-in-law. I will meet her later." Lana explained.

"Wait… What time? I'm on my way to your office, love. Let's have lunch together. What do you want to eat?"

"Late afternoon around three. Hmm, I want some spicy food… I also want beef…" Lana started listing down what she wanted to eat.

"Wait, love, I'll get a pen and a paper to jot it down. Can you eat it all? Alright… Yeah, I will buy it all."

Liam wrote all the food Lana wanted to eat and gulped… How come his wife wanted to eat all of this?

"Andrew, do you know where we can go to buy all these?" Liam asked after he repeated the contents of the list to Andrew.

"Sir, how about just buying the ones we can easily get and then tell madame that we could not find the rest." Andrew suggested since he did the same to his wife before.

Liam's eyebrows arched as he grunted, "Andrew! Are you teaching me to lie to my wife?! That's the same as cheating! Go and drive to the places where we can find all this. We are not missing a thing on the list!"

Scratching his head, Andrew quickly answered, "Noted Sir. Right away…"

Meanwhile, as soon as the call from Liam ended, Lana called for her secretary Lyn and paralegal Kyle.

"You two are well aware of my pregnancy. My husband is quite protective of me, so he wants me to stay with him during this sensitive period of my pregnancy. I will not close the firm, but I will have a rep. I'm sure you know her, Kyle, since she is a well-known lawyer as well. You both will meet her later." Lana explained.

"How long will you be away, ma'am?" Kyle asked.

"I'm not sure… Maybe just for a month or until after the first trimester of my pregnancy. Anyhow, the two of you can always contact me whenever you need anything." Lana said.

Lana noticed the downcast look of the two of them, so she chuckled and said, "Hey, I will visit the office from time to time."

Kyle smiled and said, "Can we also visit you ma'am at Sy building?"

"Of course you can!" Lana beamed.

"But the security in that building is so tight, ma'am." Kyle informed her.

"Oh yeah, right. Don't worry. I will give you passes so you can enter anytime you want." Lana said smiling. Then she gave more instructions and endorsements to the two before dismissing them afterwards.

Soon Liam arrived, with Andrew behind him carrying paper bags of the food Lana wanted.

Lyn greeted them and gulped, looking at all the paper bags.

"Are they going to have a feast inside the office?" she asked Kyle when Liam and his driver were already inside Lana's office.

Kyle only laughed and said, "You will know once you get pregnant. You for sure will end up a glutton as well."

Lyn's face crumpled and countered, "Not all pregnant women end up becoming a glutton. My mom couldn't even eat a single morsel when she was carrying our youngest at that time. Anyway, why are you so adamant in visiting the Sy Building when ma'am will visit us here, anyway?"

Kyle gave Lyn a smirk and said, "Why not? That's one popular building in the city and everyone in the legal world is curious to visit that building and I'm just one of them. It's the mighty Liam Sy's pride…"

Lyn raised her eyebrows and murmured, "Weirdo!"
