The Law of Attraction

Chapter 50: A Harridan Wife

Lana and Liam spent a while walking around the garden and bickering sometimes. The entire flower garden, that covered a huge area, was filled with beautiful roses in more than half of the beds and the roses were not only locally procured varieties but some were brought in from abroad as well. Lana could not help but feel drunk by their fragrance and their mesmerising beauty.

Miley called them for tea and they all sat down together to enjoy the tea and some snacks along with it.

Lana was thoroughly enjoying her time with them all. Liam's family was very nice and Lana did not have any dull moments with them. Her jaw almost ached by constantly laughing on their jokes and childhood memories. It had been a while for Lana since she laughed like that with anyone, other than her closest friends.

They were having the afternoon tea, and Liam became the topic of the discussion.

"Is Liam like that since birth? Why is he so different from you guys? I don't see him smile, unlike you guys. I mean I have seen him smile, but it's so rare, like once in a blue moon." Lana asked Miley when Liam excused himself to answer a phone call.

"Oh, big bro didn't tell you about his first love? He was really heartbroken when it happened, he was not like this before but ever since then he has forgotten what happiness is, he never smiles wholeheartedly ever since..." Miley was about to narrate everything but paused hearing her brother's furious yelling.

"Miley!"

"What?" Miley jumped on her seat hearing his scolding voice and pouted her lips to show her displeasure with a crumpled face. Her big bro had been yelling at her with no principled reason. He did it twice in a row already. She forgot how her big brother hated it when they happened to bring up the topic of his past love.

They said one could only be bitter about their past if the person couldn't get over it yet. So would that mean that her big bro was still lingering on to his past love?

'That would be so unfair for Lana.' Miley could not help but feel bad as she liked Lana a lot and didn't want her to suffer because of something that happened so many years ago. She didn't want anyone to have an unrequited love and with these thoughts she gave Lana a sympathizing look.

Then she thought that because no one had since managed to capture her big bro's attention since then. Lana could be the one who would probably heal her big bro's broken heart and bring back the jovial Liam Sy back to life.

"Go get Jorge here!" Liam roared at Miley with a dark face.

Miley exhaled before excusing herself to Lana. How she wished their father was there to scold her big bro, but father was too busy doing something with Jorge. She wondered what the two were up to at that hour.

When Miley left, Lana faced Liam with snapped eyebrows.

"Why are you harsh with your younger sister? Yelling at her now and then? It's a blessing that you have got such an adorable family. You must cherish your luck for having such a caring sister and be more sweet to her. Don't you know how envious I am of you because you have such adorable siblings and such a loving father?" Lana scolded.

Liam's eyebrow raised and simply answered, "She talks too much. Giving blabbering unnecessary things."

"You should yell at me then, since it was me who asked her things about you. Why do you have to put a temper on your little sister…" Lana casually pointed out.

Liam sighed before murmuring, "I so pity your future husband. You're such a harridan wife to be…"

"What? Are you saying something?" Lana asked because she heard Liam like a bee buzzing into something. She could not understand a single word he murmured.

"Nothing," Liam muttered. He dare not irritate Lana, hoping the latter would no longer bug him later at dinner time like she did at lunch.

.....

Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Senior Sy was too busy looking for some special drinks in their wine cellar.

"Jorge search for something that can make those two easily drunk, some old wines that are very good to drink but makes you high easily." Senior Sy instructed.

"Father, are you somehow planning something?" Jorge asked because that vicious smirk on their father's face meant he was thinking of doing something naughty.

"What are you saying? I just want the two of them to enjoy the evening with us." Senior Sy defended, but Jorge was not convinced at all.

"Why do I have the impression that you want a shotgun marriage to happen? Must I remind you father that in this era, shotgun marriages are no longer effective. Women don't get married that easily, like Lana even if she ended up pregnant, chances of her agreeing to marry are as less likely as they are now." Jorge nonchalantly commented.

Senior Sy turned around to look at him and with raised eyebrows asked, "So what are you suggesting, huh?"

"Seriously, father? You're really planning something absurd like that?" Jorge's eyes flew open, and he asked in disbelief. His father was definitely dead serious in hooking Liam with Lana.

"Didn't you notice Liam's eyes? He is definitely in love with this beautiful girl. He won't admit it easily, I know my son really well Jorge, because Liam's pride is very tough so I want to just help him out with some minor things like this. You see, people tend to show their true self often when drunk." Senior Sy stated with a grin.

Jorge gulped and shook his head. Lana seemed to be a hard woman to capture, though.

"If Lana's mother finds out that you're trying to get her daughter pregnant by your son unwed, she will kill you, father. Didn't you know the story about her possessiveness for Lana and how Mrs. Huang loves and cherishes Lana?" Jorge warned.

"Shoo! Stop discouraging me, you brat! Liam would take responsibility, of course!" Senior Sy hissed.

"Gosh!!! Let's wait more, can we? I'm the one getting nervous with your clumsy plans, father. I'm sure Liam and Lana will gradually end up together, just give their relationship a little time." Jorge mumbled.

Senior Sy heaved a deep sighed. If something happened with Lana and Liam with him, knowing it would be easy to approach Mrs. Huang for marriage.

He paused for a while, wondering if he should heed Jorge's advice and be patient or do some movements for accelerating the speed of their relationship development since knowing how stiff and prideful his son was could slow everything.

"Maybe we should ask Miley for her opinion too," Senior Sy suddenly muttered.

Jorge helplessly shrugged his shoulders.
