Liam was wrapping up Gale’s case without Lana, but he kept updating her about how things were going when they were together at night. He also detailed out important things and gave her pointers so Lana could learn the minute details of the case even if she missed the actual happenings.

“Wow, you really are something to crack this case, indeed it is worth saying that you do not lose a case Attorney Sy.” Lana commented while she noted down every important point her husband wanted her to remember.

“Make sure you always have a recorder with you because you never know when you have to use it. That’s very important because that also makes the impossible possible nowadays.” Liam commented because he had recorded his conversation with Frank that time, that was how Liam was able to get hold of his testimony in which he was clearly admitting to the fact that he was the culprit in Gilbert’s murder and so it was submitted as the major evidence in favor of Gale.

Lana nodded. Technology was really the best aid in today’s time that could make everything easier for them at all times. She still had a long way to go to be like Liam, but she would do her best to reach there.

She unconsciously smiled at the thought of how lucky she was to not only have Liam as her husband, but to even find an excellent mentor in him as well.

“This is a private lesson that I, Attorney Liam Sy, am giving you, you see. I should charge you big time for this. Nothing comes for free in this world!” Liam jokingly murmured.

“I love freebies the most. And especially when it comes from someone like you. It’s the best thing to get in life then… Having everything for free from Attorney Sy, how awesome does that sound?” Lana commented as she jotted down a lot of notes.

Liam pursed his lips at her answer, and Lana laughed seeing him sulking like that.

“What? Do you expect me to pay you off for this teaching service with something, huh? What’s with the pouting? Stop that.”

Liam’s eyes suddenly brightened hearing the word ‘Pay off’.

“I wouldn’t mind receiving your s.e.xy payoff, love,” he said with a wink. Lately his wife had been too generous in pleasing him every night. Then he recalled something…

The smile on his lips suddenly faded as he mumbled, “Hey, I will miss you…”

Lana felt her heart floated with his words.

“It’s just for a month, you know.” she whispered with a grin, understanding while Liam suddenly said those.

“But it feels even more than a year for me.” Liam complained. After her graduation, Lana would leave for one month, to go to a private in-house review center away from everyone so she could focus and learn one pointedly on her studies before taking up the licensure exam.

He himself had decided to send her there for a better learning experience and he had also recommended that unique review center since the place was very relaxing with a wonderful environment, surrounded by greenery on three sides and a beach in front… a little away from the city.

Their program worked really well for the aspirants, and it was the only review center that had almost ninety-nine percent passing rate compared to others.

Though his heart ached and he knew his life would feel empty by not seeing her for such a long span of time. Liam took that decision as he knew Lana needed this.

Lana closed her notebook and kept it together with the pen on the bedside table. Then she turned to face Liam.

“I will feed you until you get full before I leave, okay, so you won’t even feel I’m gone away from you during the entire month.” Lana timidly whispered before kissing Liam on his lips.

She too would definitely miss him, but her heart was at rest thinking it was all only a temporary thing, since they would still go back into each other’s arms after she returned from there.

Liam excitedly hugged Lana. Even though both of them lacked words to express themselves, their actions always spoke louder than the words. The words that both of them had in their hearts and both Liam and Lana were afraid to speak out loud, to express their inner feelings because of their own reasons.

But Liam often whispered those three-letter words in her ears whenever Lana was asleep in his arms. Like tonight, he lovingly kissed her after their passionate lovemaking and once Lana slipped into deep slumber, he lightly breathed, “I love you,” in her ear again, before closing his eyes to sleep.

Finally, Lana’s graduation day came. They held it at the function hall of one of the most well known and prestigious hotels in their City.

She went with her mother to attend the convocation ceremony. Liam was present there as well, but they invited him as a special guest to give away the degrees and also a small speech to the audience.

When the ceremony started Liam soon gave a brief speech of encouragement to the fresh graduates.

She tilted her head up to look at him and blushed when she unexpectedly found Liam’s eyes were fixed at her only and almost never left her until he was on the stage. She always found him staring at her. Well, she dared not complain as even she was doing the same, so their eyes kept locking with each other after every few minutes during the entire ceremony.

“I’m so proud of you, my daughter! Finally, you’re now a lawyer.” Her mother exclaimed, followed by a tight hug as soon as she was back to her seat after receiving her degree on stage.

“Mom… I need to pass the licensure exam first,” she whispered, chuckling.

“No worries… You sure will top even that test.” Her mother proudly declared.

The ceremony soon ended, and Lana took a log of photos together with her batch mates and professors. Everyone greeted each other and said their congratulatory notes to one another.

Lana looked around to find Liam, and their eyes met. Liam smiled at her and was about to approach Lana and her mother when one of the professors he knew approached him for a small casual greeting.

“Let’s go first in the car mom.” Lana muttered because she knew it would be hard for Liam to excuse himself easily from everyone so fast. He was a huge celebrity in the legal world and everyone wanted to get a photo clicked with him.

Lana held her mother’s hand and guided her to turn around for them to go first in the car when Lana felt a hand hold on to her wrist.

“Lana, Mom, let’s all take a photo first…” Liam commented as Lana turned around. Lana looked around and scolded, “Hey, we agreed to keep our relationship discreet.”

Mrs. Huang smiled and shook her head. She was aware of Lana’s sentiments about keeping her marriage with Liam discreet to everyone except her closest friends.

“Everyone is busy dear. Besides, they can interpret things however they want…” she commented and winked at her son-in-law as an approval to do whatever he wanted.

Liam grinned at her mother-in-law. He ignored Lana too and signaled the photographer to capture a few photos of them.

He even held Lana’s hand, clasping it tightly with his. Lana no longer debated since she loved Liam around them instead of having his photos taken with another group of women who were ready to pounce on him any moment.

She especially noticed how women were flocking around him soon after the ceremony ended. They wanted to impress him and get close to him. Well, she no longer minded being rumored to be Liam’s woman since she would not work in his firm to start her career, anyway.

She smiled beautifully at the camera as she felt Liam’s arm on her shoulder. She could hear the whispering of those eyes that were directed at them. She felt so proud to be Liam’s wife at that moment.
