The Law of Attraction
chapter-428

Liam and Lana were both quiet inside the car. Liam was the one driving.

"Did I do something I should know about, last night? I woke up in your room…" Lana intentionally commented because she wanted to see how Liam would react and what would he say.

"Yeah, we did something. We are both drunk..." Liam plainly answered.

Turning her head towards him, she boldly asked, "Did you enjoy it?"

"What?" Liam burst out, suddenly.

"You said we did something so I wonder if you liked it…" Lana added.

"Yeah, I liked it. Any man will like it. I'm a man so it's natural," Liam answered with a straight face.

Lana heaved a long sigh. But then she inwardly cheered herself saying that she should not be affected by his cold treatment, and she convinced herself to believe that Liam was just acting, playing hard to get to be precise.

'But what if he really doesn't want you anymore in his life? Maybe you two had s.e.x because Liam only l.u.s.ts for you,' her inner self stated, making her feel confused.

Liam suddenly felt uneasy. His words were empty, but he had to throw them at Lana. He did not want Lana to know how affected he was with their lovemaking. He did not want her to assume that it was one of his weaknesses so he wanted to act like it was nothing to him.

"I can't remember what we did but whatever it is I'm sure I did it willingly since I'm willing to do anything for you, Liam…" Lana whispered with a low tone before turning her gaze towards the window of his car.

Liam inwardly cursed. He did not know what to say to this. He knew he was being harsh but he would not go back to his decision of punishing Lana. But somehow, he could feel her hurting, on hearing her low tone. He could tell she was really hurt by his words.

Liam's head was spinning, he felt so confused. His heart and mind were not in coordination at all, both had different opinions and both had different ways.

He too was feeling conflicted and he no longer knew how he should proceed further. He still loved her and he did not want to lose her so he whispered, "I'm sorry Lana. What I meant is…"

Lana smiled as she looked at him and said, "I understand Liam. I know you will make things hard but don't worry… I will not give up and prove to you that this time around I will stay by your side no matter what…"

'Even if you make things hard for me or be harsh on me…' Lana added at the back of her head.

There was only silence until Liam suddenly spoke first.

"Why is Kyle coming over for lunch as well?" Liam asked with a clenched jaw. He was too uncomfortable with Lana being around Kyle.

"To discuss matters with Noah regarding the company. Besides Noah has a lot to turn over. You shouldn't be jealous of him though because we are just friends. More like siblings." Lana explained.

"I'm not jealous…" Liam defended.

Lana had a smirk and said, "yes you are. How about coming with me if you like? I'm sure Luo and Noah will be glad to see you."

Liam was silent, undecisive.

He felt Lana hug his arm, and then move closer and leaned onto him.

"I miss this. Let me stay like this for a while, please..." Lana whispered.

Liam did not respond and let her be. He wanted to say that he missed her too but there was a lump in his throat.

Lana closed her eyes and added, "I struggled a lot during that time that I was away Liam. I wanted to explain everything and I will… just give me a little more time please.."

Liam sighed and sincerely said, "I want to know everything, Lana. I will be all ears once you are ready. But right now, I'm not sure if I should compromise… I'm deeply hurt and I have a lot of hesitation and fears."

"I know. And I'm really sorry. As I said I will make up for everything and do whatever it is that you want me to." Lana muttered.

"I don't like seeing you with Kyle. Do something about it." Liam plainly stated.

Lana: "...?"

At Sy Mansion.

Miley heaved a long sigh as she looked at the pregnancy kit she used. There was only one line visible on it, which meant it was once again negative… her menstrual period was just delayed… like the previous months.

She threw it in the garbage can and left the restroom. Jorge was sitting on their couch watching the television. She heaved a long sigh as frustration clouded her thoughts. Every month she would excitedly try a pregnancy kit whenever she would experience a week-long delay in her monthly period but it was a disappointment every time.

She and Jorge had been working to have a baby for ten months already, but they still had no success. She walked towards Jorge and sat beside him.

"I think it's time that we see a doctor." Miley suddenly commented.

Jorge muted the television and faced her. He could see the frustration on Miley��s face with her wrinkled forehead.

"Hmm, alright then. Tell me when and I will clear my schedule." Jorge said with a reassuring smile.

"How about we try a different position when making love. I hear that is a big factor as well?!" Miley insisted.

Jorge laughed. Miley wanted to try the so-called dog style but he did not want it because it was a style where he could not see Miley's face and he didn't like the idea.

"Let's just do it for this month, on my fertile days… Please? I'm really excited to have a baby and be a mother already." Miley argued with pouty lips.

Jorge heaved a long sigh as he cupped her face and said, "Alright then. Your wish is my command."
