The Law of Attraction
chapter-368

Lana's face paled. She had never felt so nervous her entire life, she ended the call that instant and called out for the nearest helper she could find, since she could not risk running with her condition.

"Anyone there?" she yelped, and fortunately one helper quickly ran to her.

"Go run to the east pavilion room one now and get all my female friends to come here and tell them my husband is arriving in five minutes! Hurry up! Run, like you are running for your life!" she instructed and the helper, in understanding, quickly ran as fast as he could.

Lana then looked at butler Dan and said, "Prepare the dining area now. My friends and I will be there in a minute. Liam is on his way home now to have lunch. Please hurry up and arrange the necessary."

Butler Dan gulped and quickly moved but paused and said, "Ma'am, how about the dancers?"

"Tell them to leave immediately. Oh, wait, Miley and Keira will surely handle it once they hear Liam is coming home…" Lana answered.

She immediately walked down the stairs and saw Keira and the rest rushing inside.

Panting, Miley complained, "Why is he coming now?" All of them ran back inside the mansion.

"He said he was missing me… What did you do with the boys?" Lana asked.

"They are still there putting back their clothes…" Miley answered, still short of breath.

"What?!"

That moment butler Dan rushed to inform them the security reported that Liam's car had already entered inside the gate.

Lana looked at Miley who smiled and reassured, "Don't worry sis… Everything will be fine."

Lana immediately greeted her husband with a bright smile on her face.

Liam smiled back and quickly hugged her.

"Let's go eat? Everyone is in the dining area already waiting for you." Lana whispered. Her heart was still drumming so fast because she felt nervous and afraid of being caught red handed by Liam.

"Are you okay?" Liam asked when he gently pushed her to see her face.

"Why do you look so pale?" he added. Lana gave him an awkward smile and said, "I'm just starving. Let's go and eat with the rest."

Saying so Lana pulled him inside the dining area.

Liam was shocked to see everyone there, including Luo, who was supposed to be gone for an important appointment. But somehow didn't give too much thought to anything and greeted everyone. He could smell something fishy in the air though, he just could not pinpoint what.

"This is your important appointment?" Liam asked Luo with raised eyebrows as he sat in his chair.

"Of course… This appointment is so important. We came to surprise Lana and talk about the bridal and baby showers. We were actually not expecting you here." Luo replied with a grin.

Miley elbowed Luo to shut up since she already drank a lot and hence was talking too much already. And besides, her brother was quick to catch things like this. He was probably feeling suspicious already.

"Well… I heard Liam is here since he was missing his wife, so let's all eat now and leave the couple alone. We can, you know, continue with the talks some other time now…" Keira nonchalantly commented with a tease.

She failed fulfilling her bridal dream so she definitely made sure she would get to witness real strip dancing for Lana's bridal shower but Lana's husband just killed the mood!

"But I want to finish it today. It's so fun!" Luo burst out.

"Did you drink?!" Liam beamed, noticing how red Luo was at that time.

"Oh yes, she did." Miley was the one to answer and grabbed some meat then stuffed it inside Luo's mouth saying, "Sis, try this meat. It's good. Chew it carefully, okay?"

Lana did not know whether to cry or laugh watching that scene. Her husband obviously knew already that something was going on.

"Let's just eat lunch first. It will get cold," Lana murmured as she began eating.

The rest quickly followed and everyone focussed on the food.

Meanwhile, butler Dan quickly sneaked out the strip dancers while everyone was busy at lunch. He must make sure Liam would see none of them inside his property.

Keira was good to open up another topic to kill the awkward atmosphere while Miley kept Luo's mouth busy by stuffing food in it now and then.

Soon, all the girls left and also Miley, pulling Luo with her.

"What was happening here?" Liam asked while he followed Lana inside their room.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Lana innocently asked as she went directly to the restroom to brush her teeth.

"Lana. I know something was going on…" Liam mumbled with pouty lips.

"Nothing. We were just talking about some girl stuff. You're overthinking things. How about we watch a movie? I'll just finish brushing my teeth and come." Lana casually said, hoping Liam would no longer ponder about it.

She intentionally brushed her teeth for too long that Liam had to call her to make sure she was fine. Little did she know, her husband already cleared out his suspicion and called his security that instant and found out that a van loaded with men just left while they were eating lunch.

"Done…" Lana said smiling as she went out but the smile faded seeing Liam's dark expression. He looked displeased, so Lana already sensed that he already found out.

"You said you will talk to Keira and will not pursue it…" she heard him speak in a serious tone. Lana gulped, speechless because she did not know what to do.

She gave Liam an awkward smile as she said, "Sorry love, but as far as I can remember I did not promise that we won't do it. I said I will try to talk but you see… My curiosity got piqued…"

Lana pouted her lips as she sat beside her husband.

There was just silence and Lana could feel Liam was so grumpy at that time so she hugged him and whispered, "Please don't get angry. I think it's because of my pregnancy that I'm also craving to see hot men dancing…"

Liam's eyes widened hearing her stupid reasoning and had mixed emotions that he did not know what to say or even what to react with because he did not want Lana to get stressed.

He could not even boast that he could do that for her because he knew how bad he was in doing it himself. He couldn't even scold his wife…

'How frustrating…' he mused because he could only keep his irritation and annoyance to himself.

He sighed and muttered, "Can you please not do that again behind my back?"

Lana cupped his face and kissed him, then said, "Okay, love. I'm really sorry… I love you."
