The next morning, Liam woke up early and prepared breakfast for both Lana and him. He was done setting the table when Lana came down and smelled the delicious aroma of the food.

“You cooked? Again?” she murmured, looking at the properly set table. Liam pulled out her chair and said, “Let’s have breakfast first before going to the hospital. I have already called the private nurse to take care of mom’s breakfast.”

Lana’s lips parted hearing that.

“Liam, what’s going on? What are you doing? Why?” Lana questioned, still in shock at how good Liam was acting towards her.

Liam sighed then asked, “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? This? You cooked again, and why are you coming with me? You should spend time with your family, it’s the weekend today.” Lana pointed out.

She was not used to this kind of treatment from anyone, not at all from a man. Something was weird. A weird feeling was floating in the air. A strange and comforting feeling, something she had never felt before in her life, however she did not want to get used to this comforting warmth.

“Don’t overthink Lana. I feel bad for you, because I know this is a tough time for you and how hard it must be for you to keep yourself strong. Your situation… I fully understand it and I want to be there for you. These things happen between good friends as well, so please put your mind at ease,” Liam defended, seeing the confused expression on Lana’s face.

He could read her mind and he knew she was feeling alarmed, and he had to erase that feeling of being alarmed by his actions, so Liam added, “Don’t worry Lana, I will also ask for a favor from you very soon so treat this as a thank you in anticipation from me.”

“Favor?” Lana asked and Liam massaged his nape before saying, “Yeah… My dad is insisting on visiting mom so… Later you will see my family visiting mom and meeting her. Sorry I tried to persuade dad to meet your mom later, but he’s too…” Liam explained but was cut off by Lana.

“That’s okay, Liam. I understand perfectly. By the way, let’s talk about the house rules and marriage terms after my mom’s operation so everything will be in black and white between us,” Lana nonchalantly added before digging on the breakfast.

As she expected, the food was so good that she even thought it was a good thing Liam was there in her house cooking delicious meals for her.

“You really cook well, Liam. I might gain weight if you continue to cook like this,” Lana praised with a smile.

Liam chuckled and replied in his mind, ‘you’ll still look s.e.xy in my eyes!’

But then quietly just watched Lana enjoying the breakfast he prepared.

“Liam, I should say, with such excellent cooking skills you are an excellent husband material.”

Liam was stunned when he heard her. Amused by her words, he then smirked and looked at Lana and replied, “Yeah, indeed. But… bad news… I am already married now.”

Lana was left dumbstruck with that answer. How easily and conveniently Liam had talked about being married. But she couldn’t help but smile at his wittiness and grasp of the situation.

When Liam saw her smiling his heart relaxed and his mind started crafting ideas on how to keep her impressed and tickle her nerves about the relationsh.i.p.s as well.

‘Each day is precious, and each moment is valuable…’ he mused, knowing he had plenty of time in his hands to do all that.

He was only starting…

‘This is only the start, Lana. I will slowly get inside your heart, my love.’ Liam mused, cheering himself up.

At Sy Mansion.

Jorge woke up early, even though it was the weekend. He was too excited to take Miley out for a ‘date’, so he got ready early that day. He was humming as he went down to join the rest for breakfast.

“Good morning guys,” Jorge greeted in an amiable mood and was shocked to look at Miley who was sitting like a lazy cat, still in her sleepwear.

“Miley, why are you still in your sleepwear?” Jorge voiced out and looked at his wristwatch.

“And so?” Miley answered with a twisted mouth. She intentionally did not get ready early to see Jorge’s reaction to her tantrums.

“Miley, we needed to leave early…” Jorge childishly mumbled with pouty lips.

“Early for what?” Miley asked, enjoying her acting thoroughly. Jorge rolled his eyes at her.

He knew Miley was doing it intentionally, so he said, “Alright, if you don’t wanna go then let’s not go. I thought you wanted to go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park this weekend, and I had prepared everything for the fun day.”

“Oh, yeah, right. Alright, after breakfast I will prepare quickly so stop frowning,” Miley finally muttered.

“Is Gracy still sleeping?” Senior Sy, who finally could interrupt, said.

“Maybe, she’s not answering the door. Just let her be. She asked for it. I mean why would she choose to stay here knowing bro already had a girlfriend. I bet she’s sulking right now.” Miley started and was about to say more about her opinion on Gracy, but her father stopped her.

“Miley… Just be a little more understanding with her. Anyway, Liam said last night that Lana’s mother will have an operation this evening so tomorrow we will all go to the hospital to visit her. It’s quite sad that we got to meet Lana’s mother in this kind of setting. So you two should clear your schedules tomorrow to accompany me in the hospital.” Senior Sy stressed.

“Yes, father, did Liam come back here last night?” Jorge asked and their father nodded.

“He explained everything to me regarding why they had to rush for the registration of their marriage.” Senior Sy stated and narrated how Liam explained everything. His son dropped by a little late at night and explained everything to him. He was too worried about Lana, so much so that upon clearing things out in front of him last night, he immediately went back to Lana’s place.

It was clear how much his son worried about Lana’s welfare. His son was in love, and he evidently saw that in him last night. He was celebrating with his enthusiastic voice, telling how the event of Mrs. Huang’s sudden hospitalization turned out to be a blessing in disguise to his advantage. He smiled, recalling the beautiful and bright smile he never thought he could witness on his son’s face last night.

“Hmm, so no wonder they rushed in for registering their marriage. It must be tough right now for Lana. Good thing bro, Liam is there to support her.” Miley seconded. His bro’s love life was turning out well.

“Bro is married now and I can see your ear to ear smile dad. It’s my turn now I guess… Father, should I get married too like bro? Like a flash wedding?” Miley playfully announced. Senior Sy shrugged his shoulders and helplessly looked both at Jorge and Miley.
