Chapter 139: I Am Not!
Chapter 139: I Am Not!
Lana was sulking the rest of the day after Gracy's incident and Liam was happy to see some hint of jealousy in her actions, but he decided to not comment on that until they arrived at home to join Mrs. Huang for dinner.
"Why are you frowning? Are you still upset?" Liam asked casually.
"Why would I be upset? I'm just not in the mood to talk." Lana barked and walked directly to their room. Liam followed while Lana hustled.
"Are you on your period?" Liam asked as they entered their bedroom.
Lana turned around to face him and said, "No. And mind you, periods don't make me moody like this."
Liam knitted his brows and said, "But you look so irritated. Is it because of the incident with Gracy?"
Lana's eyebrows arched while she mumbled, "And why should I be irritated with that? Didn't you enjoy the show she gave you in the office? Looks like you have some regrets I came in between your intimate moments!"
'She's definitely jealous, burning inside but can't say… hahaha....' Liam thought with a grin because he was enjoying Lana's jealous berserk.
"Oh, which moment are you talking about? You mean the cockroach and spider prank you played on Gracy? Well, if you are referring to that then I enjoyed it and I was finding it so hard to control my laughter watching you and Gracy bicker at that time…" Liam commented with a roguish smile.
He then walked towards Lana and said in his husky and heavy voice, "But which intimate moments are you talking about love? Do you mean the moment when I saved Gracy from falling down? Do you want to say that you didn't like me being even a little closer to her? Are you perhaps jealous of seeing me close to any other woman, Mrs. Sy?"
Lana was annoyed with herself and felt more annoyed when she heard his words. She didn't even understand the reason as well for her acting so childish. She was irritated, but she was not willing to understand and admit why.
Liam walked closer while Lana moved backwards, trying to stay away from him.
"So tell me? Am I right or am I right? Is that the show you are referring to, or is it that the reason for your off mood is perhaps seeing Gracy so close to me… embracing me while I wrapped my arm on her waist? I guess it should be enjoyable for every man being so close to a woman like Gracy, but… let me remind you LOVE, your husband is a man with a difference. I don't enjoy any kind of closeness with her or any other woman..." Liam emphasized with a mischievous grin. He had already cornered Lana on the wall.
Liam leaned forward and captured her in a perfect kabedon pose and whispered in Lana's ear, "I only enjoy getting close to my wife, that is you, Lana."
Lana's eyes widened while she looked at Liam with awe while Liam held her chin.
"You know how I love your scent, Lana… so don't overthink it..." Liam added quickly seeing Lana's conflicted expression.
Lana's face softened. She was already experiencing a roller coaster ride of emotions deep within her and his words were sending her further into a crazed state of mind. She then felt Liam's hand touch her face and gently caressed it.
"Don't get irritated by all that you saw in the office, since the only woman I enjoy getting near me is you… Gracy and the others don't affect me at all, they can't stir me the way like you do." Liam whispered with his eyes directed straight into hers. They stood like that with their eyes locked into each other's for a few minutes, in complete silence...
Then Liam broke eye contact. He turned around and said, "I will go and clean up first." Lana with parted lips watched Liam headed to the bathroom.
She exhaled loudly once his shadow disappeared completely from her sight. She touched her chest and her hand could feel the hard pounding of his heartbeat.
Lana grabbed her things and walked out of the room before Liam came out of the shower. She needed to cool her head down, including her body, so she headed towards the swimming pool.
"Ma'am Lana the dinner is ready." One of the helpers who saw her in the hallway informed her.
"I'm not hungry, tell mom I will eat later after I take a good dip in the pool." Lana said. Swimming was akin to a therapy for her mind, especially when she was entangled in a lot of emotions or if she was having a hard time to deal with her thoughts.
Liam on the other hand smiled when he came out of the shower, seeing that Lana was gone from their room. He immediately went down thinking Lana was already at the dining table with his mother-in-law.
"Hello mom…" Liam greeted and kissed the cheeks of his mother-in-law.
"Hmm, you look so spirited son unlike Lana. I thought you and Lana had some misunderstanding with each other." Mrs. Huang commented.
Liam sat on his chair and looked at Lana's empty seat.
"I thought she's already here, mom." Liam answered, wondering where Lana went.
"The helper said Lana went to the pool. She only goes there whenever she has a lot of things clouding her mind. She will then usually not join me for dinner and will swim the entire night through. Come on and eat. I will have the helpers send her some food there." Mrs. Huang explained, then signaled Liam to eat.
"Mom. I will take Lana's food there myself." Liam said with a sweet smile after a few bites.
Mrs. Huang nodded, and Liam quickly stood up to get Lana's dinner to the poolside.
He reached the third floor indoor pool of the mansion and saw Lana swimming like a fish underwater, doing laps like a pro.
When Lana stopped at the edge, she saw Liam sitting there with a plate full of food in his hands.
"I brought you your dinner in case you're hungry." Liam commented with a smile and stood up to sit on the chair with the table as he watched Lana rise from the pool and come out in a swift motion. Her looks were to kill for, a no makeup face, beautiful swimwear and wet body.
She was wearing a one piece swimwear that fit perfectly on her curvy body. She looked too sexy in Liam's eyes that he could not take his eyes off her for even a single second. How much more would he suffer if he would see her in a two piece bikini wear or naked?
Liam's heart started beating erratically while a part of his lower body swelled up. Liam cursed because the bulging between his thighs grew bigger and if she noticed it he was done for...
"Thank you for this but you don't have to bother." Lana spoke while she wore her robe around her body.
She sat on a chair opposite Liam and said in a serious and heavy tone, "I really want to be alone for a while, so I will appreciate it if you will leave me alone for now, Liam."
Liam exhaled loudly before responding, "I don't know what I have done wrong that you look so irritated whenever you look at me. You have to tell me about it Lana so I won't feel lost."
Lana turned her face to the other side, biting her lower lip, trying to escape answering his question. She inhaled deeply and closed her eyes.
"Are you feeling jealous?" Liam candidly asked.
"Because the way you are acting right now is typically like a jealous wife does, Lana." Liam nonchalantly added.
"I am not!" Lana opened her eyes and defended herself with squinted eyes. Liam shrugged his shoulders and bluntly replied, "But I really hope that you're jealous."
Lana did not respond to his words while Liam stood up and left her alone.
"Why would he hope that I'm jealous? I am not, I should not!" Lana stubbornly breathed.
