Chapter 532: Landed On His Face
Days passed by and Lana had never felt so much at ease in her life before. She woke up early that morning and smiled upon seeing Liam who was still sleeping beside her with his arms tightly wrapped around her waist.
Both of them were still naked under the quilt and Lana loved how she could feel Liam's warmth all over her. Liam moved and unconsciously opened his eyes.
"Sleep more love… It's still early," he murmured as he buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling his favorite scent of hers.
"I want to eat something…" Lana murmured.
Liam suddenly tilted his head and asked, "What do you want love? I will get it…"
Lana rose her body and whispered, "I want hot and sour chicken soup love."
Liam looked at the clock and chuckled. It was 2 a.m. and the cooks were definitely asleep.
"I will make you one," he whispered and gave Lana a peck on her nose before he got up from the bed.
"So sexy…" Lana teased as Liam's naked back graced her eyes.
Liam chuckled and said, "Stop complimenting me if you want to eat, or else I will be the one eating you."
"I certainly wouldn't mind that…" Lana candidly answered as she walked out of bed naked and hugged Liam from behind. Liam turned around and pulled her in for a tighter hug and whispered, "Let's have some exercise before I cook your hot and sour chicken?"
Lana pouted her lips as she tilted her head to look at him and said, "But I'm really starving now and I'm craving it."
Liam chuckled and replied, "All right put on your nightgown and follow me to the kitchen."
He immediately put on his boxer shorts before leaving their bedroom to cook for her. They were currently staying in Lana's apartment for the weekend. Liam suggested they go to her apartment straight from work since they would do some general cleaning of the house in the morning.
She was actually excited to bond with Liam while cleaning her apartment. It was Liam's idea to do this instead of hiring a caretaker every week… They would do it at least twice a month during weekends.
Lana put on her nightgown and followed Liam to the kitchen. She could not help but giggle seeing him wear the apron shirtless.
"I think you will look better with just the apron on and your boxers off," she said giggling. Liam halted and with raised eyebrows babbled, "Mrs. Lana Huang Sy, how perverted you are!!!"
Lana laughed and just gave him a flying kiss as she whispered, "Hurry up and feed me…"
After a while, Lana stood up to have a taste and commented, "Put some white-more wine vinegar. It's not sour enough…"
Liam creased his forehead because it was already sour to his taste. He stared at Lana, bewildered, as he watched Lana grab the wine vinegar and add more. She tasted it then a beautiful smile curved her lips as she mumbled, "Yummy…"
He watched her grab a bowl for herself and excitedly pour the soup in it like a kid and sit on the kitchen counter stool. Liam tasted the soup himself and his face wrinkled due to the sourness.
"Careful, it's still hot love," Liam warned.
"Isn't it too sour?" he questioned in disbelief as he watched Lana blow the soup on the spoon to cool it down and put it in her mouth. Liam watched her eat enthusiastically when suddenly his eyes brightened.
"Love… When was your last period?" he asked, almost not breathing. Lana halted because she had forgotten about it… She became so busy with Grace and Bill's case that she lost track of the days.
Her eyes rounded when she realized that she was supposed to have her menstrual period last week but she didn't till now.
"Oh my God!!!" she burst as she looked at Liam.
"I'm late by one week…" she gasped.
Liam could feel the familiarity of the scene wherein he rushed to put on his shirt and pants and grabbed his car keys.
"I'll be right back. I will buy a pregnancy kit from the 24 hours open drugstore," he beamed and as he kissed Lana's forehead.
Lana watched him rush out as she shouted, "Let's just wait till daybreak love. Don't go out now…"
"Nope! I won't be able to sleep now and would anxiously be waiting for dawn. I'll be quick. finish your soup and I'll be back by the time you're done," Liam shouted back before he disappeared from Lana's sight.
Lana unconsciously touched her belly as she whispered, "Am I really pregnant? I hope it's not a false alarm."
Her heart was drumming erratically against her ribs at the thought of her getting pregnant again. A beautiful smile plastered on her face as she continued to eat the hot and sour chicken soup. She did not know why but she suddenly craved for it… something sour… It was one of the signs.
She couldn't help but chuckle thinking about the active instinct of her husband. Liam was more knowledgeable about it since he was keener on asking her doctor about early-stage symptoms of pregnancy during their first baby.
While waiting for Liam, Lana finished her bowl of soup and ended up getting more. She was already on her fourth bowl when she heard Liam's footsteps approaching.
"Love, I'm back. Let's go and pee. I bought a lot of test kits from different brands…" Liam said as he hugged her from behind.
"You're not done eating yet?" he asked seeing she was still having some soup.
"Yeah… I wanted more but this can wait… Let's go and check if we already made a baby!" Lana excitedly exclaimed and pulled Liam back to their bedroom.
Lana gave him the pee cup as soon as she was done. She left the room and went to the kitchen to continue eating her hot and sour soup while waiting for Liam who was doing the testing inside the bathroom.
After sometime Lana came back in their bedroom and waited on the bed. Liam finally came out of the bathroom.
"What is it?" Lana asked, suddenly feeling nervous but Liam did not answer. His face was serious as he stared at her blankly.
Lana's shoulders dropped as a deeply disappointing sigh came out from her mouth. She hung her head in dejection and thought that she was probably delayed because she was too stressed lately.
"We're going to become parents, love!!! I still can't believe it, love! All tests are positive!!!" Liam suddenly screamed.
"Ouch!" Liam cried when a pillow suddenly landed on his face.
He chuckled seeing the crumpled face of Lana. He immediately approached her and hugged her tightly as he whispered, "I'm sorry love, it's just that I'm still in awe about this and can't believe it so I had to pause for a while to digest everything properly. See I even had to pinch myself first to make sure that I was not dreaming…"
