The Law of Attraction

Chapter 410: Back Home With You

Chapter 410: Back Home With You

Soon Lana reached the restaurant Luo told her about. She parked her car in the parking lot and entered the dining hall of the restaurant. As soon as she stepped inside and swept her eyes to search for the right place to sit, her gaze landed on that familiar handsome face that she had been missing ever since she left.

A hint of melancholy passed in her eyes as she saw Liam sitting in front of a beautiful woman, talking to her. She felt jealous and wanted to go and claim her husband from that witch right away. But… what rights did she have to do that?

Lana gulped thinking what she'd do if Liam stood against her to protect that woman. She had to take things slow and so she walked towards an empty table a little away from Liam's. She could feel the tightening of her chest as she walked to her table seeing how that woman smiled and talked to Liam trying to seduce him with her actions.

Lana took her seat and kept looking at Liam trying to decipher his actions and suddenly froze when Liam looked away from that woman and their eyes met. She forgot to react and all she knew was there were only him and her in this entire world and they could speak without words to each other.

Liam was getting annoyed by the presence of Kenzie and as he tore his attention away from her and looked around, he saw a much awaited face that he had been longing for, the person for whom he had played all this drama, schemed big time to spread the news of his engagement with Kenzie.

Unable to believe what his eyes saw, he blinked twice before being sure she was actually there and looking at him with complaining eyes.

At that time Lana could see the conflicted look in his eyes. She gave him a faint smile as soon as their eyes met but immediately after this Liam retracted his gaze. He looked at that woman and whispered something to her.

She wanted to run and hold him tightly, apologise to him and hug him and talk to him but she did not have enough courage to approach him. Besides, he was with a woman like what Luo and Keira said.

She wondered if she was already too late and Liam had moved on! She realised he looked haggard and yet still so handsome. His deep-seated eyes were piercing directly at her, looking in her direction. She could not decipher how to describe the look on Liam's face when he saw her. It was gentle but scary at the same time.

Meanwhile, at Liam's table. Kenzie was puzzled when she heard Liam's response.

"Huh? What do you mean you don't think so?" She growled with lifted eyebrows.

Liam turned his gaze at Kenzie and whispered, "My wife is back, so I think there will be no more talks of my engagement with anyone else from now on…"

"What?! Wife? Didn't your wedding get cancelled? Do you mean the rumor about you getting secretly married last year to one of your interns is true?" Kenzie raged with furrowed eyebrows.

"Yeah, that's true." Liam plainly answered.

"Didn't that woman leave you?" Kenzie added, looking more confused. They knew little about Liam Sy's personal matters because Liam apparently made sure to keep his privacy well intact.

"Yes, she left last year but now... she has just come back. If you'll excuse me. I have to go now and greet her." Liam hurriedly said.

He immediately stood up and walked towards the woman who had just entered the restaurant and had reappeared in front of him without any warning… just like how she left, the cruel and ruthless woman who left him broken and alone to heal her wounds away from him.

'What would I do with you?' he helplessly mused, never leaving his gaze at her and intimidating her with his eyes alone.

Lana looked so confused when she saw Liam stand up from his chair and walk towards her, staring at her with complex expressions on his face.

'Oh my God…' she silently gasped as she felt her heart slamming against her chest, beating abnormally. She wanted to split away her gaze from Liam but she could not. A familiar magnetic force was preventing her from doing so.

She saw a beautiful smile carved up on Liam's face as he got closer to her and as he reached near her he whispered, "What took you so long love?"

Then she felt his arm wrapped on her waist while the other hand caressed her back as it moved up, reaching to her nape, pulled her closer to him with force. Lana, staggered and almost fell on him, looked at him, puzzled by what he did!

But the longing and soft expression of Liam suddenly turned icy cold and Lana felt a chill run down all her bones.

"Don't misunderstand… There are gossip mongers all over the place. I just need a woman other than the one I am sitting with, in case the paparazzi takes my picture with her and spreads rumors about me. It's anytime better to be you than Mr. Chua's daughter… Don't you think?" Lana heard him speak expressionlessly.

Lana opened her mouth to say something but Liam closed the remaining gap between their lips the next second. Lana's eyes unconsciously closed when those yearning lips fell on hers and kissed her soul after so long. When was the last time she felt the same feeling she was having right now?

She raised her arms and wrapped them into Liam's neck taking all his love for her and enjoying that long awaited kiss!? His kiss was gentle but as it deepened it became rough as if he was punishing her. She was about to pull back and Liam suddenly broke the kiss. He held her hand and dragged her outside the restaurant.

It was like Deja Vu. She looked at Liam's warm hand that was still grasping hers. She smiled without her knowing. She was indeed back… But she knew it would not be a smooth road ahead just by recalling how cold his words were before he kissed him. The message was very clear with his words 'don't misunderstand'.

'Don't misunderstand his demanding kiss?' Lana mused with a twitched mouth. Was she wrong about the feelings that were filled in his kissing? Because she felt Liam's hunger for her and a hint of happiness for she was back, in his kissing.

"Where are you staying now? I will have Andrew drop you off." Liam said as they reached the basement parking.

"Can I… can I... go back home with you?!" Lana barely whispered. Yeah, this was her being shameless. Keira and Luo said the same thing to her and she was doing it.

'Don't hesitate and voice out what you feel and think… Whatever you really want to say to him just blurt it out…'
