The Law of Attraction

Chapter 160: You Deserve That

After lunch ended, Mrs. Huang invited them all for afternoon tea in the garden where they continued their wonderful conversation they started.

The simple family gathering turned really fun because Miley and Jorge were both very adorable and fun loving. They kept the whole environment jolly and light and made Lana's mother laugh and smile every now and then with the funny childhood stories they shared.

Lana smiled contentedly, watching how delighted her mother was. It was such a beautiful smile and a resounding laugh she rarely witnessed on her mother's face. She couldn't help but heave a long, deep sigh as she shifted her gaze towards Liam. He was talking to his father about their business seriously.

He looked really handsome and something churned inside her stomach seeing that handsome man talking seriously to his father. Her perverted mind started running amok, reminiscing about their passionate times spent together. She shook her head to flick away the thoughts that came running into her head.

Their set-up was not that bad. It was tempting not to set a due date for which she already thought to talk to Liam, seeing how her mother looked so fulfilled and satisfied. But there was something inside of her that was still contemplating.

'It's scary…' she mused.

Her mother placed her hand on Lana's and gently squeezed it. Lana saw her mother wink at her before saying, "Oh… I'm glad that my Lana has you guys around to rely on."

Lana bit her lip and smiled back. She indeed loved this family of Liam and wished they could all stay happy always.

"Yes auntie, we definitely have sis' back no matter what. She's our family and you too, auntie," Miley seconded with a sweet smile.

Lana stood up and said, "I'll just go and grab some snacks, mom…"

She saw Liam looked at her and she could feel him stare at her even from behind. She pursed her lips. Because of Liam, she did things she was not even aware she was capable of.

Like what happened during lunch. She was still wondering how she could even do all such shameful things. Her ears started turning red at the thought of her actions on him and she knew there would be consequences later… but she would deal with it.

She was only grateful that everyone was too busy and engaged in their own conversation that time. Liam started it, but she ended it. His uncomfortable look when she retracted her hand was so satisfying for her.

Mrs. Huang's face became suddenly serious when Lana left and said, "I want to tell you something very important about my daughter. She has had a very tragic past, her childhood was very troubled and traumatic. She had been through a lot when she was a small child.

I took her under my wings when I saw the traumatised child in the orphanage and made sure to erase as many leads towards her as I could to keep her safe and secure. I know your family can find out about it through your means easily.

I'm not sure if you already knew or not, but I hope this won't be a hindrance in this relationship because even though she is adopted, Lana is my only daughter and will be forever my daughter no matter what happens."

Senior Sy emitted a sigh before reassuring Lana's mother. "Well I trust my children Ana and our family welcomes Lana with open arms because she is the woman Liam had chosen to be his partner.

Regardless of that matter, you can assure that it doesn't matter to us Ana because Lana is not at fault for whatever happened with her then. About our relationship, she is already part of our family and is dearly loved by us all as well."

Mrs. Huang felt so relieved seeing the sincerity in Liam's father's words. Given their family background, she was aware that Liam could easily find out about Lana's case.

She looked at the Sy's family background and they seemed to be quite an influential family. She also heard how the family was famous for being low key and very humble. But she was somehow worried about how Liam's family would react once they found out about Lana's past.

"I'm really grateful about it and really appreciate your understanding about it Ram." Mrs. Huang stated her gratitude.

"Mom, you don't need to worry. I'm aware of everything and my family also knows about it all." Liam interrupted because Jorge informed him that Miley had been pestering him after Gracy said so many things when Liam took Lana away, so he told her everything he knew about Lana.

Miley was very touched by her story and could then understand Lana's state in the elevator and she thought it was best to tell everything to their father also before coming over here.

Miley grabbed Mrs. Huang's hand and added, "We will love sis Lana like a real sister auntie. To be honest, I felt so bad hearing her story that I myself wanted to dig a grave. Especially for her biological fa…"

"Miley!" Senior Sy scolded before his daughter would start cursing Lana's biological father again.

Miley's face crumpled and mumbled, "Don't worry dad, I won't curse that man again…"

Mrs. Huang laughed. She could feel how warm Liam''s family was and how caring for even the new member of their family.

Her dear Lana was so lucky and her only hope was for Lana's marriage to last a lifetime and she soon has a family of her own.

She quickly changed the topic, knowing Lana would soon come back.

"Once I'm fully well, I will definitely join you guys for golf and other activities." she said smiling and looked at Liam. "Son, why don't you go and get Lana here?"

Liam immediately stood up and gladly followed his mother-in-law's instruction. He came into the kitchen and saw Lana standing by the kitchen slab staring at the tray of snacks, spacing out. She did not even notice him standing behind her.

Liam wrapped his arms on her waist from behind and kept his chin on her shoulder before he whispered in Lana's ear, "I guess you're thinking hard about me?" that made her flinch.

"Shameless!" Lana scorned and turned around to look at Liam with raised eyebrows.

Grinning, Liam responded, "Guilty your honor!" ignoring Lana's flaring nostrils.

"You do know what you did a while ago? Right?" Liam teased and Lana squinted her eyes on him and fired, "You're the one who started it."

Narrowing his eyes, Liam commented, "Hmm yeah, but I only touched a leg Lana. Touching and squeezing my…"

He paused and intentionally looked down to his lower body. Lana's face reddened in embarrassment. And it was what Liam thought. However, as he expected, Lana would never let her down as she composed herself immediately, putting up a stern look on her face.

"You deserve that, you know." she countered with snapped brows.

He was about to corner her, but his mobile phone rang.

"Answer it…" Lana instructed and quickly escaped from him. Liam shook his head with a grin plastered on his face as he watched Lana's back.

He grabbed his mobile phone and saw it was Luo calling.

"Yes. Are you sure about it? Alright I will handle her." he said and gave Luo further instructions before ending the call. His face became so dark and gloomy.

No one should dare mess with his woman. He clenched his fist but released a long sigh to calm himself since today was an important gathering and he did not want his family and Lana to notice the sudden dark change in his aura.
