The Law of Attraction
chapter-107

"Dad, I think that's it for today. You can visit mom again tomorrow. I mean, Lana's mom needs to rest…" Liam whispered to his father, noticing his family had already stayed for too long.

Senior Sy nodded and stood up to bid his farewell to Mrs. Huang. "We will pray for your fast recovery Ana. We have to go now and please take rest… We will visit again after your surgery…"

Mrs. Huang smiled and nodded, then she looked at Lana and said, "Lana, you go out and join your father-in-law for lunch. Nurse Jane will accompany me and take care of me here, so you go with them."

Lana couldn't deny and also understood how Liam's father would be happy and wished to celebrate for his son. She smiled and kissed her mother.

"I will be back soon so rest well mom." Lana whispered and looked at nurse Jane and nodded as a gesture to take over while she was gone.

Miley crossed her arms on Lana and held her hand. She slowly raised Lana's hand to look at her ring.

"Wow! It looks so stunning and gorgeous. Fits you well, Lana. I never thought my brother could be this sweet." Miley praised, feeling so thrilled.

Mrs. Huang heard it and smiled while she watched her daughter being pulled away by Liam's sister outside. She was glad when she saw that her daughter had a great relationship with Liam's family.

Jorge arranged a reservation at the famous dining restaurant in the city. He made sure that it would be extra special for Lana or else their father would scold him nonstop if he would not get satisfied with the service, even Liam would be scooped in the scolding as father was already upset for not being called at the time of registration of marriage.

In the huge private room, the restaurant assigned the best chefs to them to cook in front of them, whatever it was they would want to eat apart from the signature and best dishes of the restaurant.

"Here, Lana, try this meat. It just melts in the mouth��" Senior Sy commented and cut the beef and gave to Lana, who blushed with the continuous pampering of Liam's father.

"Please father, I'm fine. I mean, I can cut it on my father," Lana timidly whispered. Senior Sy smiled, satisfied with how Lana was calling him father. He felt so fulfilled at that moment.

Liam shook his head and seconded, "Father, let me pamper my wife. Why are you taking away my role from me? You make me look bad in my wife's eyes."

Miley laughed, watching her father and brother battle in pampering the newly added member of their family. If not for Lana's mother being in the hospital, she was sure her father would give the newlyweds a month long honeymoon trip as a gift for their wedding.

"They look so adorable, right? I'm sure father would be more pleased if he would see another marriage in the family," Jorge whispered in Miley's ears, making her heart race exponentially.

'Another marriage? Is he giving me some kind of hint now?!' Miley mused with rounded eyes. She suddenly trembled. Perhaps in excitement and anticipation? She exhaled loudly to calm her crazy heart.

"Here…" Jorge said, offering his plate with cut meat to Miley. He never stopped spoiling her.

"Later, if you want, we can still watch the cinema together, if we go to an amus.e.m.e.nt park you will not enjoy because our time is limited. Tomorrow we have to go back to the hospital as well. Let's schedule the amus.e.m.e.nt park trip for next week." Jorge explained while he put more side dishes on her plate.

Miley was on cloud nine by the way Jorge was spoiling her and sweet talking her ever since they started luncheon with family.

All of them were full, and Senior Sy ordered for a bottle of red wine to toast in celebration of the wedding of his son.

"Lana, this is truly a wonderful event we should celebrate. So I would like to propose a toast for you and Liam. For a successful and love filled marriage ahead." Senior Sy stated and raised his glass for a toast, so everyone did the same.

"Cheers!" everyone yelped in chorus. They drank the alcohol in the glass, but Senior Sy added a few more words to his toast and raised his glass once more.

"Cheers for many babies to come! The pride of the Sys!"

Lana choked on her drink, hearing that. Liam quickly stroked her back.

"Are you alright?" he asked, and Lana gave him a faint smile with a nod.

"Lana dear? Are you well?" Senior Sy asked next.

"Father, I think you scared Lana by saying many babies. She's not a hog, you know. You can say baby first, like one at a time… It sounded like you want a basketball team," Miley interrupted in a jest.

"Oh, right… But I want a basketball team. Anyway, don't fret about it, Lana. No pressure at all. For now. I hope you and Liam enjoy your company with each other, then babies to follow."

Senior Sy did not stop at all, so Liam interrupted, "Father, don't expect too much… You're jinxing it. As what they say, you should not expect it and it will come your way. It's better left that way and like you said, let's not push Lana. She still has a dream and a bright future ahead."

"Oh, sorry Lana. Please excuse this old man and don't take it seriously, but even if you do, then I don't mind," Senior Sy added followed by a wink and laughed loudly at his own joke.

Lana gave him a half smile, but deep inside she got worried. Senior Sy seemed to expect a lot from her relationship with Liam.

Somehow, she got scared and confused because a part of her had this deep feeling of respect and adoration for senior Sy and also of not letting the old man down. She watched Liam as he continued to banter with his father. They had this great connection that she adored. She could see a father in Senior Sy, and it felt good to have a father in him.

But Lana knew that she should not grow too attached with Liam's family. She sighed and got startled when Liam suddenly put his arm on her shoulders, pulling her closer to him.

"Smile, love… Miley is taking a lovely picture for us." she heard Liam whisper in her ear. Lana only then noticed Miley, who kept clicking on her mobile phone.

"You two should kiss for the picture. I mean, I bet no one took your photos in the registrar's office." Miley, squealing, suggested.

Lana was taken aback and the last thing she knew was her eyes getting rounded as Liam's lips clamped on hers.

Lana heard the several clicking of the shutter on Miley's camera phone.
