Liam managed to leave the venue of the graduation ceremony with Lana and Mrs. Huang.

“Let’s celebrate and eat dinner outside…” Lana suggested as they adjusted inside the car.

“Dear… I’m a bit tired. How about we go home already? Or you and Liam could go after you guys drop me off at home.” Mrs. Huang followed by a yawn.

Lana pursed her lips, then looked at Liam’s side with high hopes. “Tomorrow is a crucial day for me so I have to prepare well. How about we go out tomorrow?” Liam commented pertaining to Gale’s case.

Lana’s face crumpled because everyone was too busy to celebrate with her on this special day of hers! Did they even forget that it was her birthday?!

Lana could not believe how all of her dear friends also forgot about her birthday because none of them had even bothered to congratulate or greet her happy birthday since morning. But then she understood that they were all a family person and parents already, so it was understandable for them to get busy and hard to remember her birthday and graduation day.

She heaved a long sad sigh before saying, “Okay, let’s just go home then. I’m also tired after the whole day… I’ll just tell the chef to prepare something good at home.”

Liam and Mrs. Huang’s eyes met in the rearview mirror. Lana’s voice was too downcasted, and yet she brought nothing up. She remained silent all throughout the ride back home, feeling gloomy and ignored by everyone.

Lana felt sad and sulky, but she tried not to show it. They finally arrived home. Lana with dropped shoulders went out of the car. She then waited for her mother, who held her hand as they walked inside the house.

As soon as the door opened, Lana almost deafened with the shout of, “Congratulations!”

Her eyes widened seeing everyone in the greeting area and now they were singing the birthday song for her.

Her eyes welled up as big drops of tears fell on her cheeks, wetting her face in an instant. All of her close friends were there who, she thought, forgot about her special day. She felt Liam’s arms around her as he whispered in her ear, “I hope you love our simple surprise for you…”

Lana turned and hit his chest. ‘Is this your idea? I hate you!” She grunted but then hugged Liam tightly, followed by, “thank you so much.”

Everyone had a great dinner in their garden. “Thank you,” Lana expressed to Miley and hugged her tightly as well as to her father-in-law upon knowing they had organized everything along with her mother for such a splendid evening party in their house.

She was sitting with her friends while enjoying a good drink and watching the men having fun with the karaoke, entertaining everyone.

“I never imagined Liam to be this sweet… You two look so lovely together.” Keira who was beside her commented.

Lana looked at Liam with admiration and Keira could not help but added, “I’m happy Lana to see you in love like this. You deserve everything you have right now. You deserved to be loved and to be able to love back too.”

Lana smiled and said, “This… Everything just feels too good to be true Keira. Liam is too good to me. But I am not confident about being the right woman for him. I still have some doubts inside my mind…”

“Lana, nobody is perfect. All of us have some kind of imperfections… And no relationship is perfect as well so the thing about being the right person for each other does not exist. What’s important in a relationship is that you’re doing and working your best to be the right woman for him. Like how he is doing and working his best to be the right man for you…” Lana heard Keira stated and she smiled.

Her dear friend was right. She must not focus on her imperfections but try her best to be Liam’s wife, a woman who loved him.

After some time, everyone started leaving and soon almost everyone had left for their homes. Liam never got this drunk in his entire life before, but he did tonight. He had so much fun with Lana, her mother and friends and as well with his family.

“Do you think you can go upstairs on your own? Look how you are walking in a zigzag manner. Jorge is still here. Wait, let me ask him to help me put you to bed.” Lana commented as she watched her husband singing while walking in a zigzag.

It was the first time she had seen Liam that much drunk. She had to pull him out before he made more fuzz and did crazy things.

Liam turned around and grinned at her before he walked towards her and put his arm on her shoulder.

“Hmm, my love smells so nice…” he mumbled with his drowsy voice as he snuggled on Lanas neck.

“Shh… Careful…” Lana scolded while she helped him get up on the stairs and walked him inside their room. She quickly guided him to the bed and Liam laid his body there.

“I feel so hot…” he mumbled while he raised his body to unbutton his shirts. Lana sat beside him and helped him undress.

Liam paused and stared at her while she was undressing him. Then he suddenly raised his hand, pointing his finger up as he squeaked, “You… you will go in the review center to R-E-V-I-E-W… You are not allowed to look at any other young men your age in that center. Do you understand, huh?”

Lana was shocked to hear those words from the drunk man. She knew he was a little possessive for her, but even in such an inebriated state his mind was occupied with her thoughts, making her smile at her luck.

She then thought something and smirked and looked at him after removing his shirt. “And what would you do if I looked at young handsome men there? It’s not like you can see what I am doing inside the center.” she scoffed, grinning still at how funny Liam was acting when drunk.

Liam furrowed and narrowed his chinky eyes at her as he responded, “I have my eyes all over you so those men will definitely die in my hands if they even try to approach you.”

He held her chin and added, “I am The Liam Sy… No one… I repeat… No one is allowed to touch my woman.”

“And I am Lana Huang and no one… I repeat… No one will ever dictate or manipulate my life,” Lana countered, smiling as she unbuckled his belt next.

“I am the man here, so why do you always want to play an alpha?” Liam complained.

Lana chuckled and pushed him to lie on the bed so she could pull his pants.

“What’s wrong with me being an alpha? Are you complaining now, huh?”

Liam giggled childishly, and Lana’s eyes rounded. She should take a video of this so Liam could see how crazy he could become once drunk so hard.

Liam raised his body to pull Lana, who fell on his bare chest.

“Lana… Can you promise to stay with me and be with me forever?” she heard Liam asked.
