The Law of Attraction

Chapter 386: Greatest Treasure And Pride

"By the way, auntie\'s room has already been prepared. Does she know you are going to pick her up today?" Miley commented, changing the topic because she did not want to talk about Chelsy anymore.

Seeing his expressions, she was sure that her father would again bring up the topic. Maybe she was wrong but she had lost her trust in Chelsy and was not fond of her the way she was before.

She knew her mind was clouded with suspicion about her and because she wanted the best for her father and Chelsy failed her trust because of her dishonesty. Miley knew even if she wanted to trust Chelsy again, it would not be easy for her anyday.

"Thanks, Miley. She\'s not aware about our plans. I didn\'t give her a heads up because I am sure she will definitely not agree with the idea of shifting with us, so I will personally go and pick her up on the spot…

That way, she would have no choice but to come with me. Good thing I\'m pregnant so she will not give me a hard time in accepting our decision and we will soon be getting her here." Lana responded with a smile.

"That\'s good. A very good idea. It\'s better Ana stays here rather than being alone in the Huang mansion. She can actually live here for good," Senior Sy commented, dropping off the topic about Chelsy and defending her because his children needed time to calm down, and that would take a while.

Lana thanked her father-in-law. Sy mansion was indeed better when it came to security. Her mother\'s mansion was an old fashioned mansion because her mother was not too fond of installing new technology devices. She had not upgraded their security system unlike at Sy Mansion where there were especially appointed men who monitored the entire security system and other important details appointed by Liam and Jorge.

Miley, on the other hand, could not help but think of how nice it would have been if their father could have a woman like Lana\'s mother in his life. Miley exhaled and unknowingly voiced out, "I like auntie Ana so much. Had it been possible I would have preferred her to be father\'s girlfriend instead."

Hearing that, everyone was too shocked, especially Senior Sy. It was only Liam who seemed to be not reacting.

Miley grinned, and gave everyone a peace sign, and mumbled, "Sorry… Well, I\'m actually hoping for a woman like auntie Ana but then that would be a weird scene right so… Anyway. I will now leave first to work."

"That brat…" Senior Sy scoffed as he watched Miley scuttle away with Jorge.

"Well mom could be a good wife for you father but then mom Ana is very loyal to her late husband and she said she will never be able to love any other man in her lifetime but her late husband only," Liam commented as he finished his coffee.

"How do you know that?" Lana asked with knitted brows.

Liam hesitatingly looked at his father who signaled him to continue.

"I remember I mentioned to mom Ana once before that I hope my father had a wife like her and then she told me that…\'\' Liam whispered.

"You brat. You\'ve been selling me away so easily and vaguely!" Senior Sy scolded.

Lana felt Liam grab her hand as he stood up and said, "Lana and I will also leave now father."

"Seriously?" Lana asked as they walked towards the car.

Liam chuckled and nodded. He really tried selling his father in an attempt, because he liked Lana\'s mother so much.

Lana and her mother were not actually blood-related so he thought there could be no harm if his father and Lana\'s mother would also end up together. But then Lana\'s mother was too dedicated towards her late husband so Liam no longer had the guts to pursue the matter.

*******

Liam dropped Lana at Zhao group building to let her stay with her mother.

"Oh, dear… This is so sudden." Mrs. Huang commented when Lana entered her office. She quickly greeted her daughter with a warm hug and a kiss on her cheek.

"Well I\'m here to kidnap you." Lana mumbled with a naughty smile as she comfortably sat on the couch.

"Huh?" Mrs. Huang snorted.

"You have to live with us at Sy mansion for the meantime mom because our mansion has poor security unlike at Sy mansion and your security is of utmost importance to us too." Lana simply said.

Mrs. Huang really felt that Lana was overreacting but then she no longer voiced it out since she did not want an argument with her pregnant daughter and annoy her in this state.

\'Maybe it\'s because of her pregnancy,\' she mused.

"Dear… I mean that would be a bit awkward if I stayed there." Mrs. Huang murmured.

Lana exhaled loudly and said, "I know what you\'re thinking mom. You think that I\'m over reacting right? But no I\'m not. Please take this matter seriously.

I saw that monster slit my mother\'s throat while he grinned like he was enjoying a tv show. He enjoys bloodbath and seeing people bleed makes him feel ecstatic."

Lana could not help as her eyes started to well up with tears and her mother quickly shifted seat beside her.

Lana took one of her mother\'s hands and brushed her cheek against the warmth of her palm.

"Mom please this one time, just do as I say even if it\'s awkward or uncomfortable for you for a while. Help me please to ease my greatest fear of losing you to that monster… I can\'t ever let that happen and will not forgive myself if anything happens to you due to his doing…"

Mrs. Huang raised her other hand to cup her daughter\'s cheek. She sighed and whispered, "Alright dear. Please don\'t cry anymore. I will do as you say and try hard not to be hard headed."

Lana then hugged her and whispered, "I may not say these words often but you do know I love you so much mom…"

Mrs. Huang had a beautiful smile on her face as she gently stroked her daughter\'s back.

"I know my daughter and I love you so much as well… You are my greatest treasure and pride…"

Hearing that, Lana cried more. For her, her mother was the greatest blessing and treasure of her life.
