The Law of Attraction

Chapter 260: Best For Her Not To Know

At Huang Mansion.

Liam came out of the bathroom and heard his phone beep. His face became serious as he read Ryu's messages. He also had a few missed calls from him, so he took the phone and went back to the restroom to call him back.

"I understand bro… No, I want to help you both in any condition. Yes, I will be there." Liam said on the other line.

"I'm really sorry Liam for getting you involved in all this…" Ryu apologized on the other line, and Liam could feel how heavily guilt laden his cousin's voice was. He knew that Ryu did not want him to get involved with the case as much as possible, but sometimes there was no choice with the way we could handle things.

Liam chuckled and said, "Stop that, bro. Here we go again. You will make me feel bad if you will continue to apologize this way. We are family and you know even you would do the same thing for us, so please remove these burdens from your heart. I'm heartily willing to do this."

After a little more conversation between Ryu and him, the call then ended.

Liam looked at the bed and knitted his eyebrows when he saw that Lana was not still there. He found her standing outside on their balcony, looking at the night sky.

"Aren't you sleepy yet?" Liam asked as he hugged Lana from behind while he thought of how to put in good words in his wife's ears about him leaving, mainly without her getting worried at the same time.

It was a confidential work that he must do together with his cousins. He did not want Lana to know too much about it or for her to get involved with this, so he wanted to keep certain things from her.

He knew he was the one who said not to keep any secrets from each other, but this time it was different and his decision of disclosing things to her would depend if Lana's safety would be at risk. He knew how brave his wife was, also that she even went to a lot of missions just to help out a friend of hers, but this time he would not let her be in any compromising situation, not under his protection.

He buried his face in her neck as he drowned in her lingering scent.

"Hmm, not yet. Everything just feels so great and perfect." Lana whispered with a smile as she rested her back on Liam's warm chest. She was feeling so blissful by how perfectly her life was turning out to be. She could not ask for anything more in her life.

Liam then finally mustered his courage to tell Lana about him leaving for some time.

"Love…" Liam started.

"Yes?" Lana hummed.

"I will be gone for a while to settle down some important things. My cousins will be with me. You know them and have met the two of them already. You know that thing about Shawn's problem."

"Alright. How long will you be gone for?" Lana asked. She was aware of how important the Ken family was to Liam so she would not go against Liam being hands on in assisting and helping them in whatever matter.

"I'm not sure… A month or more, perhaps. As I've said, I'm really close with the Kens and my family owes so much to them, so it's an opportunity for me to repay their kindness in simple things like this. I want to help them with their family problems at this point. Ryu can only trust me pertaining with legal matters and other things about it." Liam reiterated, hoping Lana would not ponder so much about the matter involving the Kens and what could be their real deal.

Lana moved and turned around to look at her husband. "Is there something wrong? Maybe I can also help?" Lana asked, looking at her husband's smiling face. Liam was smiling, so Lana thought there was nothing to worry about.

Liam chuckled and pinched her nose as he jokingly said, "No! You will only disturb me if you go with me and try to assist me. I can imagine Ryu's face complaining to me, like why I'm mixing pleasure and work… You stay here with mom and build up your name by taking a lot of clients and win all of them while I'm gone. Jorge and Daryl will assist you in finding people you need as you start working in your own office. I expect to hear how well you do Attorney Lana Huang-Sy while I'm away."

Lana pouted her lips. She was indeed excited to start working on her own, but she would surely miss her husband if he would be gone for so long. She did not want to be parted with him for even a day!

"Do you think it will really take that long?" Lana pondered.

"I'm not sure, but it might take a few weeks or in the worst case one or two months since we will be out of the country most of the time as well to gather and check certain things personally… But don't worry. I will make sure to sneak out and check on you from time to time. Besides, after this we will go to our official honeymoon as I promised…" Liam promised, hugging Lana tightly.

He was aware how his wife would insist on going with him if she found out the truth, so it would be best for her not to know the exact details of the matter at hand pertaining to the Kens.

***

The next morning, Liam and Lana informed Mrs. Huang about Liam's important task and him being gone for quite a long time.

"It sounds like you will take a long time? Your wedding ceremony with Lana is nearing. Do you think your official matter will take three months or more?" Mrs. Huang worriedly asked.

As much as possible, she did not want any delay for the whole world to witness her daughter's wedding ceremony.

Liam had a teasing smile as he answered, "Don't worry mom… I will surely make it to the wedding."

"I have arranged nothing yet though, but maybe it would be safer if we postponed the ceremony as of now. How about we do it after six more months…" she then suggested, realizing the two were already married. She also did not want a rushed up wedding ceremony.

"Oh, how about this… After you're finished with that important matter, then I will arrange the ceremony immediately…" Mrs. Huang continued.

Lana chuckled and said, "That would be better mom. Besides, me and Liam are already married…"

Mrs Huang pouted her lips and mumbled, "I know, but still I want to walk in the aisle with you…"

"Don't worry, mom. That would definitely happen." Liam assured.
