The Law of Attraction

Chapter 126: Creepy

Mrs. Huang smiled at Liam and looked at the table where the dishes Liam prepared were served. She was very pleased. Liam had a lot of good qualities not all men could have.

"Hmm, thank you, son. But next time you don\'t have to bother. I know how busy you are already and then cooking on weekdays is not needed at all. Now tell me how was the night? Did you like my welcome gift to you both? I guess my daughter enjoyed the drinks I prepared for her last night." Mrs. Huang commented.

Liam nodded and responded, "She did mom… She almost finished all those bottles alone. Thank you very much for such a sweet and thoughtful arrangement. We both enjoyed it."

Lana smiled as well, but quickly massaged her temple as she sat. She felt her head would explode soon. She tried to recall what happened last night, but she could remember nothing at all except that she was drinking with Liam on the couch.

She wondered if she again did anything stupid to embarrassment herself in front of Liam. So far Liam was not teasing her so maybe she did not do anything crazy or perhaps she needed to be alone with Liam first before he would start teasing her.

Lana exhaled loudly. Later she might probably have a flashback and recall everything.

"Drink your soup first. I have made a hangover soup for you." Liam said, seeing Lana\'s discomfort. "You can skip work for now if you want to rest more," Liam added.

"It\'s okay.?I can manage. Besides, I want to complete and finish my internship as soon as possible." Lana answered and quickly drank the soup.

"Liam, I want to invite your family this weekend here for dinner." Mrs. Huang informed Liam, who nodded.

"I will also tell them mom," Liam answered with a smile. The family ate a hearty breakfast, and Mrs. Huang was once again impressed with her son-in-law\'s efforts. She felt absolutely relieved that Lana was in good and trusted hands like Liam.

After breakfast, Mrs. Huang watched the couple leave together for work.

Inside the car, Lana could not get time to ask Liam about what happened last night because the latter was engaged in an important conversation with someone and Lana thought it was something serious, hearing the seriousness of Liam\'s voice.

As soon as they arrived inside the office, Liam asked for Jorge and requested various details from Attorney Lou to investigate.

Lana heard that it was something personal and in relation to some of Liam\'s closest relatives.

She had become busy as well that day since she had a lot of pending work. She was making a summary on a case file when she saw Gracy entering Liam\'s office.

Gracy walked towards her room and then opened her door.

"Hi Lana. Are you busy?" Gracy asked her with a smile. Lana shook her head and asked Gracy to sit.

"Yes Gracy? Do you need anything?" Lana asked when Gracy sat on the chair in front of her.

"I heard Liam left with Jorge as soon as he came in the morning. It\'s almost lunch now, so I wonder if you want to eat with me? By the way, I also heard you and Liam got married, so I just bought a small gift to congratulate you." Gracy said with a friendly approach and handed a paper bag to Lana.

\'So she knew?\' Lana mused.

"Oh… You don\'t have to bother. But thank you about this. By the way, how did you?" Lana asked, wondering how Gracy found out that she and Liam were married.

Gracy had a lopsided grin and said, "You mean, how did I know you and Liam got married? From Liam, of course… I also heard your mother was hospitalized, so you two had to marry in a rush since it\'s a request from your mother… Don\'t worry, I will keep it confidential for Liam\'s sake."

Lana\'s eyebrows flinched hearing those words. Gracy casually said that, but Lana felt she said it as if Liam had told her to console her about it.

Gracy kept her poker face intact with a fake smile on Lana. She was not stupid to announce to anyone that Liam was already married to a murderer\'d daughter. But she was in the process of figuring out ways on how to make sure Liam was separated with Lana.

She had an expressionless face as she spoke, "Hmm, I almost forgot you\'re staying at Sy\'s mansion for now… Anyway, we rushed it a bit because of my mom, but as soon as my mother gets better, then me and Liam will have a preparation for the grand wedding."

Lana could see through Gracy\'s facade, though she hid it with her smiling face. Or maybe she was wrong or just being too judgemental since she heard from Liam that Gracy could have a hidden agenda for staying at Sy mansion.

But for some reason, Gracy\'s smiling face irritated her. Why did her smile feel like she would get stabbed at her back soon? She just did not trust those beautiful smiles.

"Hmm, that\'s good then if that happens. Because rushing a marriage like that seems a bit off, especially on a woman\'s side. A woman deserves something much better Lana… Like how a man deserves someone better." Lana heard Gracy comment with another smile.

\'Stop smiling. Your smiles are creepy!\' Lana wanted to voice out, but then she knew it was being rude of her since Gracy was doing anything bad at her. Even her words were chosen carefully, but she could get her hidden meaning.

Lana helplessly exhaled loudly before giving Gracy an amiable smile and a wink.

"How about I get you as one of my bridesmaids since Liam told me you\'re LIKE A SISTER?to him? It would be nice if you join the entourage in my grand wedding as Liam\'s sister Gracy"

Gracy\'s face was as pale as it could be when she heard those words, and before she could speak anything else, she heard Lana\'s voice again.

"If you don\'t mind Gracy, I have to finish doing this so I won\'t be able to go out and join you for lunch. I\'ll have lunch here with Liam once he arrives." Lana added with a smile, hoping Gracy would leave her alone.
