“My password?! My birthday?!” Lana was shocked hearing this from him and she almost lashed out on him with rounded eyes.

“How do you know about it but? Did you stalk me, Mr. Liam Sy?”

“Do I really need to stalk you? Why would I even do that? And about knowing your password, Mrs. Liam Sy, do you even realise how loud you are when you’re drunk, you even shout the password while pressing the numbers in the biometrics. Are you not aware how crazy you get when you are drunk?” Liam nonchalantly commented.

“That day when I brought you back after dinner at my place, since then I know your password. But, being the gentleman I am, I have never misused that knowledge. You can trust me, Lana”

Lana was completely taken by surprise and felt anger as well as embarrassed when she came to know about her drunken stupor. She was left speechless and couldn’t say anything back to Liam.

“Tell me my room later Lana, for now I will go to the kitchen and prepare something for dinner. I’m sure you’re exhausted so just rest for a while.” Liam casually added without waiting for Lana to comment as he headed towards her kitchen.

Lana was blown away by his words again. She drastically blinked her eyes because she could not believe how at home Liam was already acting in her house. And her door password? Logically, Liam obviously told the truth about her password since he managed to enter her house. She was too tired, but still it was not proper to let Liam cook, so Lana stood up to follow Liam in the kitchen.

“Let me cook. Leave that to me and fix your things in the room opposite to mine. The door is opened.” Lana stated, seeing Liam was already cutting some onions.

“I can fix my stuff later. Why don’t you just rest… Clean up and get changed into your sleepwear. I’ll call you once the dinner is ready. Don’t be stubborn and go now…” Liam, ignoring her words, instructed while he continued with what he was doing.

He had a triumphant smile seeing Lana leaving him in charge of the kitchen. “She must probably be too tired to debate with me right now,” he whispered with a grin. He excitedly whistled while he heartily prepared the dishes.

‘A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,’ he mused, thinking if the same thing goes for women also. Today was such a wonderful day that he wanted to prepare something really special. Good thing Lana’s fridge was fully equipped with the ingredients he needed for the dishes he planned to cook.

He smiled at the thought the first thing he noticed inside Lana’s fridge was a rack of lamb. He roasted it and prepared a mustard-shallot sauce. Then he also made spaghetti with mushroom bolognese. He did everything easy to prepare because Lana must starve already. He was almost done when Lana came back in the kitchen.

“Go wait in the dining room. I’ll be there shortly. It’s almost done.” Liam murmured and put everything perfectly on the plate.

Lana felt so hungry just with the delicious smell. She unconsciously followed Liam and went to the dining room and sat on the chair.

She watched Liam serve her the food and could not help but said, “Why does it feel like I’m the guest and you are the house owner?”

Liam chuckled and cut the meat on her plate.

“Don’t you like being pampered like this? This is my first time doing this kind of thing and I’m actually enjoying it besides I know you are sad, so just be a good girl tonight and don’t debate with me. Tonight, eat well and let me do the rest. You just eat then sleep afterwards like a VIP.” Liam muttered while he cut the lamb into small pieces, making it easier for Lana to eat it.

Lana tilted her head. Liam’s face was too close to hers. She could see his perfect jawline so close, and it looked so s.e.xy.

“Lana, eat the meal if you’re hungry. Don’t feast on my face,” she heard Liam commented before leaving her side to get fresh fruits to cut as Lana’s dessert.

Lana’s face scrunched at that shameless comment. “How come he’s becoming more and more shameless by each passing day,” Lana mumbled before eating the spaghetti.

“Hmm, this is good.” she mumbled. Liam went back with a bowl of dessert and a bottle of wine. He then sat on the opposite chair.

“Stop staring at me and eat your food,” Lana countered when she noticed Liam was watching her eat.

“That’s my line,” Liam in wonderful spirit breathed and started eating.

Lana pursed her lips and forked the meat. “Wow, the lamb tastes good with the sauce.” Lana commented. She had that lamb brought by her mother but did not have the time to cook it.

“You cook well, really.” Lana could not help but praise Liam, who unconsciously blushed while he said, Thanks. It’s good you liked the food.”

He felt so happy deep inside seeing Lana was enjoying the meal when his mobile phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was Jorge, Liam cursed silently for forgetting to inform Jorge about where he was. He was too consumed with Lana around him. He forgot to inform the family he would not come home.

“Excuse me…” Liam said to Lana before standing up and went into the living room to answer the call.

When Liam came back to the dining room, Lana had already finished everything on her plate. She was so full and was currently eating some cut melons.

“My father knows we got married, and he wants to see us. Tell me when you will be ready to visit him.” Liam casually commented while he continued to eat.

Lana pursed her lips and worriedly said, “We must keep it confidential, Liam, just between our families. I will take care of my mom about the alibis on” not doing a public wedding. Do you think you can also take care of your father?”

“I understand Lana, don’t think too much about it and focus on your mother. I will handle it.” Liam reassured. Lana smiled at him and said, “Thank you really Liam… For everything. I’ll return the favor somehow once I settle everything with my mom.”

Liam, amused hearing those words from Lana, had a smile reaching his eyes towards Lana.

“I will look forward to returning the favor, Lana,” he whispered, feeling it was his lucky day since all the favors turned to his table somehow.
