The Law of Attraction

Chapter 186: Overflowing Jealousy

Lana and Liam directly came back home after gathering the information from Zayn. Before finally going to bed, they compiled all the information and discussed a few more points to go ahead regarding the case in the study room.

When they arrived in the bedroom Lana was the first one to wrap herself with the quilt and as soon as Liam saw her there he also rushed to join her and cuddle her in the bed.

As soon as he got on the bed and tried to put his hand on her waist, she flicked his hand away and turned her back to him. Liam was astounded and could not understand the reason for her rejecting him. But being the slave husband that he was, he scooted closer to her and once again slid his hand around her waist and held her tightly against himself.

Lana tried to remove his hand again but Liam spoke in a coaxing voice and said, "Why are you trying to push me to an insomnia love? I have been starved from the past few days and now you are not even letting me cuddle with you?"

He sighed loudly then added, "How will I even sleep? Please don't be so hard on me."

Lana turned her head to look at his pitiful expressions and scoffed at him, and did not make any more moves to push him away.

Liam smiled at her stubbornness and kissed her cheek before closing his eyes. Both of them closed their eyes but the closeness they shared still kept sending electric currents in their bodies and they both took a while before drifting to sleep.

Next morning, Lana woke up early and saw the handsome face of her husband sleeping right beside her. His arms wrapped on her.

She loved this feeling of waking up near him, in his arms and it was rare that she would wake up before him, so she took a good few minutes in watching that addictive sight in front of her. She kissed his cheeks yet felt a little unsatisfied and then pecked on his lips before carefully getting out of bed so as to not disturb his sleep.

She was early that day not because she had to report at work but because she needed to spend her entire day at the university to wrap up all her pending paperworks for her clearance and graduation.

She was still feeling a bit irritated though and was sulky, so she left Liam sleeping in the bedroom. She then instructed one of their helpers whom she passed by in the hallway to wake up Liam for breakfast.

The maid followed her instructions while scratching her head. She wondered why their mistress did not wake up her husband herself instead. She only assumed they might have had lovers quarrel. Later she would report it to the madam since they were strictly instructed to report to her if they noticed any unusual thing between the couple, most especially anything like a quarrel or disagreement.

The buzzing of the doorbell in their bedroom woke up Liam's slumber. He sluggishly stood up and opened the door.

"Sir, good morning. Mistress Lana asked me to wake you up to get ready and join her and madam for breakfast."

Liam yawned then nodded, saying, "Okay. Thank you. Tell her I'll be there in ten minutes."

As soon as he closed the door, he rushed into the bathroom and freshened up and took a quick bath and dressed up for work.

Liam took the hair brush from the dressing table and started setting his hair, his mind filled with so many thoughts. Last night, Lana behaved a little strangely and in the morning too she went out quietly and left him asleep.

He did not bug her much at night since she might get more irritated and moreover he somewhat knew why she was behaving like that and was happy deep in his heart by her attitude. Before leaving his room and headed straight for the dining room, Liam smirked and shook his head at her reluctance in accepting the truths.

At breakfast.

"Good morning…" Liam greeted his mother-in-law with a smile and sat on his chair beside Lana.

"Hmm, love, you forgot to wake me up…" Liam commented as he grabbed the? knife and fork.

"Why should I when you're sleeping so peacefully? I bet you enjoyed your time to the fullest last night, so you were so inspired to have a beautiful and peaceful sleep. Did you have good dreams as well?" Lana squinted her eyes and grumbled.

Liam almost choked on the bread and coughed…

"Son… Are you alright?" Mrs. Huang asked worriedly and signalled Lana to pat her husband's back but Lana's lips only twisted.

"You should chew properly before swallowing your food." Lana scoffed instead and handed him some water.

Mrs. Huang shook her head, hoping her daughter could loosen her temper and become a little sweeter to her husband.

After breakfast, Liam himself drove his car to drop Lana first in her university. His dear wife was still cold towards him and sat quietly the whole way.

He parked the car when Lana asked him to stop it near the entrance gate.? Lana was about to open the door and go out of the car, but Liam grabbed her hand and stopped her and asked, "Why do I feel you're still burning in jealousy for no good reason?"

He could feel her overflowing jealousy ever since their last night's encounter with that prostitute and as expected, his dear wife was too good in denying it firmly.

"I said I'm not… I don't get jealous.." Lana countered.

He grinned, then winked at her. Lana sighed quietly at that roguish and breathtaking smile from Liam. She was indeed jealous, but she had problems admitting her own feelings on his face. Even she wondered why she did so! But everytime she tried to truly accept her feelings she felt she was becoming weak by succumbing to her emotions.

She didn't actually know how to handle that situation and was contemplating how to make things normal when she felt Liam's kiss on her hand, then he said, "Let's have lunch together. I will pick you up… and... If you're really not jealous, you should kiss me before you go out of the car."

Lana softened at his understanding attitude and nodded lightly, then leaned forward so she could kiss him on his lips before she rushed out of the car. She unconsciously tapped her cheeks as she dashed inside the university. Her heart was still racing as she paused but then a beautiful smile lifted her lips up, adding more glow to her blushing cheeks.
