Meanwhile, as soon as Lana arrived at her apartment, where she would usually stay whenever she was back late from fieldwork, she immediately called Liam.

“Love…” she whispered in her sweetest voice as soon as Liam’s face appeared on the screen. She rarely used that endearment but since Liam left she would often call him love whenever they were on video calls.

“What did you eat for lunch?” Lana asked with a smile, hoping she managed to change the topic so her husband would no longer scold her for being so brave and putting herself in the den of a vicious Lion.

Liam’s face twitched as he commented, “And since when did you have long hair and a mole below your eyes?”

Lana chuckled and removed the curly long and light brown wig out of her head as part of her disguise for the club. The mole too was just a part of her make-up.

She cursed inwardly for being careless not to change first before calling Liam back. It was because she was so worried and wanted to placate Liam sooner, that she immediately called her husband as soon as she was out of the cab.

“Sorry. I was just too excited to talk to you and I miss you so much. No time to get changed yet because I wanted to see your face immediately, as soon as I came home” Lana said with a seductive smile.

Liam finally smiled. He was blushing with those simple words that he almost forgot to scold his stubborn wife anymore.

He exhaled loudly and said, “I miss you so much as well Lana and I hope to see you soon too. You can change now you know and let me watch you while you do?”

Lana laughed at his teasing. Well why not? Maybe that would make her husband miss her more causing him to come home earlier than planned.

With her still seductive smile, Lana put the mobile phone on stand in such a place from where her husband could have a full view of her.

“Love?” Liam asked.

Lana grinned and did not answer but instead slowly undressed herself before him and put on her robe afterwards.

Liam gulped. He was caught off guard with that sudden attack. His body suddenly started burning because his wife had just tortured him on the spot.

“Do you wanna kill me with the feeling of missing you my love?” He complained with ragged breaths.

Lana chuckled as she sat down and grabbed the phone so it would focus on her face.

“What? I just fulfilled your request to get changed in front of you. If you want, I will also let you watch once I take my shower…” she teased more, enjoying the conflicted and tortured look on her husband.

“No way! I will die if I would just be able to watch you and not touch you at all. It has already been so many days without you that I feel like I have become a monk!” Liam exaggeratedly blurted out, making Lana burst in a fit of laughter.

Liam then suddenly recalled the important thing he should tell Lana so he cleared his throat and said, “By the way, we might not be able to contact each other for a few days… Don’t get worried about me at all, alright?

Just focus more on your cases and work and don’t you dare dismiss my eyes around you or else you will kill me out of uneasiness about your safety.”

“Noted love.” Lana answered, followed by a sigh of relief since her husband no longer continued to scold her.

‘I guess getting n.a.k.e.d before him would do the trick often,’ she triumphantly mused.

“So tell me a little more about that case you went there for…” Liam then asked her about the case she was handling though he already knew about it. He still wanted to hear every detail from Lana.

As he expected, Lana’s passion was extreme when it came to her chosen profession. He could see her mixed emotions like her excitement in handling each case and how she was getting affected seeing someone being bullied by people with power.

Liam sighed and said, “It’s a good thing to have that passion Lana, but still you must contain this passion a little love. Do not invest too much emotions into every client you would have, please… Sometimes emotions start affecting our professionalism.”

He gave her more pointers to remember and most particularly on ways on how she could also do things the easiest and efficient ways without compromising her safety.

Lana had a teasing grin as she listened to Liam. She could not help but burst, “Ah, it feels so good to have you as my husband, someone who can not only flirt with me but also give me important pointers and suggestions when I am stuck somewhere.

You’re more than just a husband to me, in fact you are everything to me… I love you so much. I’m so lucky and so in love…”

Liam flushed, followed by a sweet chuckle as he whispered, “I think I would have to keep going away from you at regular intervals in future, so I’ll be able to hear such sweet words from your mouth more often… It would be nice if you would fill me with those kinds of sweet words in person you know.”

He noticed Lana was more vocal on their video calls after he left.

This time Lana turned red as she timidly added, “It’s because I miss you so much that I really feel empty whenever you’re not around physically.

I miss everything about you. All the talks and all the walks we walked at night. Most importantly… I miss your morning kisses and nights feel empty and cold without you on the bed.”

“Awww! I should sneak out and fly there this instant!” Liam blurted out in despair.

“How about I sneak out and fly to you instead, love?” Lana bashfully added with her shy smile.

How Liam wanted to do that as well but he knew it would not be wise to do so, instead it would be self harming if Yun found out anything about his possessiveness for Lana.

Liam smiled at her and said, “I would definitely love that but… right now it is not at all possible…”
