The Law of Attraction

Chapter 49: Wake Up

Chapter 49: Wake Up

Senior Sy felt a surge of happiness when he saw the interactions between Lana and Liam, and his inner voice told him constantly that Lana was the girl his house had been waiting to welcome as Liam's wife. After lunch he dismissed them both for a stroll around the estate.

Liam then took Lana to tour her around the gardens first and when they entered the flower garden Lana was so excited to see the whole variety and colours of roses. Lana asked Liam to take a stroll in that garden for a while as she loved the overwhelming beauty of the flowers.

Liam was still in the process of calming down his emotions and was about to confront Lana about her torturing during lunch when Lana suddenly turned to him and spoke, "Oh, that's Andrew. Hey, Andrew!"

Lana cheerfully greeted and asked Andrew to come over but he hesitated in taking even a single step towards them seeing his Boss seemed to be shooing him away with his hand gesture.

By then Miley arrived. "Oh, you need Andrew for something?" Miley asked Lana.

"No, just that I thought it's his day off, so I was surprised to see him here." Lana mumbled.

"Huh? Andrew lives here, like all the other helpers. He has no day-offs unless big bro told him not to accompany him." Miley explained, ignoring the signal to stop speaking that her brother Liam was gesturing.

"Why? Who told you he had his day off?" Miley added.

"Oh, Liam said Andrew is on his day off that's why he himself drove at my place," Lana plainly said.

"Huh? Really? Last time I checked, big bro hated driving." Miley whispered to herself, She then leaned a little towards Liam, waggled her eyebrows at him and said, "What's going on bro? Are you so desperate now?" and smiled cheekily at him.

She then looked at Lana and said, "Looks like bro wishes to even be your chauffeur, Lana."

Lana did not properly comprehend what Miley said as she was almost lost in admiring the beauty of a very big, full bloomed dark red rose flower near her, so she asked, "I'm sorry, what?"

Before she could repeat her words Liam coughed and interrupted, "Miley, go prepare some dessert and bring in the garden!"

"But we are going to have tea soon…" Miley mumbled.

"Miley go!" Liam hissed, so Miley followed. Liam knew Miley is a pro in grasping the situation and if she came to catch everything she would leave no stone unturned in giving him a hard time.

'Why can't they all focus on their own love lives? Why do I have to tolerate their pestering?'

"What's with you? So grumpy with your sister." Lana commented and walked towards the bed of roses again.

Liam did not respond to that but instead fired out, "I told you to act casual and not get too close and touchy Lana."

Lana turned around and plainly stated, "What? But I didn't kiss or hug you Liam."

"But you touched my thigh, fed me and…" Liam complained but halted because he felt Lana was ignoring him by walking forward.

Lana paused, and he almost bumped on her back. She suddenly turned around, leaving only a small space. Lana tilted her head a bit to meet his gaze.

Liam unconsciously gulped, feeling her intense gaze directly at him. "What?" he asked with knitted brows and a stuttering voice.

Lana hesitated if she should ask Liam about his sexual preference or not. Obviously that was a real sensitive topic. On one side if he is really hiding his sexual orientation then his father who was expecting so much from him would be really heartbroken.

If her thinking was wrong like what Clyde insisted, then she was going to have a real hard time in behaving the same way as she was behaving right now.

Lana thought for a moment and instead of putting it directly in front of him, she flicked the question in a rather twisted form in front of him. "Do you like it whenever I kiss you Liam?" she candidly asked.

Liam wanted to cut his own tongue at that moment. He was speechless and totally caught off guard with that question. He suddenly felt how it was to sit in that witness stand being questioned by the lawyer.

He indeed loved it when they both kissed. Her smell and her fragrance always drove him mad. He even wanted to grab her and keep kissing for hours every day. How he wished he could snuggle in her arms and sniff her fragrance by burying his face in her neck and…..

'Wait… What the hell am I thinking? Wake up Liam, don't fall in her trap! It's a trap!'

'So this is how it feels when you're guilty of something but wanted to answer with a lie.' Liam inwardly thought. The feeling was frightening when Lana only asked him about liking the feeling of kissing her or not.

Should he lie or not? But if he said 'yes' it meant that he was letting his guard down.

'I will definitely not fall in your trap, Ms Huang.'

Liam narrowed his eyes and countered, "Why are you asking me that? Do you like it Lana, whenever you kiss me?"

Lana's eyebrows flinched. Liam was indeed not the famed best lawyer in the country for nothing.

Liam suddenly had that calculative smile.

"I guess you don't wanna answer me the same question, let's call it quits then. That question is a little inappropriate Lana. You can ask your body about how it feels when we kiss, why do you have to ask me?." he plainly muttered.

'Fair enough.' Lana mused since she would prefer not to answer Liam too.

The question was inappropriate anyway since both of them enjoyed kissing each other and their body language could not hide that fact whenever their lips were united.

'Liam is not gay!' Clyde's voice suddenly rang up in Lana's head, and she quickly closed her eyes to erase that nagging voice. Yet Lana still wanted to hear from Liam directly that he was a straight guy.

Maybe later she would directly ask him about it.
