Chapter 171: You Have A Woman?
Liam was still in deep sleep when his pleasant morning was disturbed by the ringing of his mobile phone. He quickly answered the call, and quietly and carefully got up from the bed, afraid to wake Lana up from her sleep.
"Alright. I understand and I'll be there in an hour." Liam answered on the other line. The call ended, and he again ca to the bed to snuggle in with Lana for a few more minutes.
He lay beside her, staring at her before he kissed her on her forehead and cheeks. Restraining himself from going too much further, he just gave a peck on her lips and snuggled his face in the crook of her neck, his favourite place to calm down his morning passionate wild thoughts.
After a couple of minutes of satisfying himself, Liam reluctantly left Lana and stood up from the bed and hurriedly took a quick shower then got dressed.
He heaved a deep sigh as he looked at Lana who was sleeping soundly on her bed. He leaned down to give her a gentle kiss on her lips as he whispered, "Sleep well, my love. I will be back soon."
He skipped breakfast and went directly to the eting place to see his cousins at Ken mansion.
"Bro…" Liam greeted the two of them as soon as he entered the living area. He ate breakfast with them first before they engaged into a serious talk. Ken mansion was like his second ho ever since his childhood. He was very close to the family like his own, and he honestly admired the family ties that bonded them all together.
"Shall we go?" Ryu asked him since they were to et Shawn in his office, who left early to attend so eting with an important client. Shawn would explain further the exact situation at hand. It was around eleven in the morning when they reached his office to discuss things further.
Liam greeted Shawn and the three of them sat down to discuss the case he was entangled in.
"Sorry about this Liam, but there's no one else we can trust more than you for the confidentiality of this case. Once you're into this… I will make sure of your safety, but still I can't promise that there won't be any harm to you because the people we are dealing with have no conscience at all. We can also understand if you will feel uncomfortable in taking up this case." Shawn explained.
Liam smiled and said, "You are part of our family now, Shawn. You and Ryu did the right thing by consulting on this matter. If you and Ryu were in my shoes, I'm sure you wouldn't hesitate either in taking this case up, just like , for the brotherly love that we share. So don't ntion this thing again. I'm glad to be of any help to you. Besides, I also believe that I'm probably the best person to work on this matter. Trust , I'm glad to help, really."
His aunt Cecile, Ryu's mother, was his father's sister. The Kens had helped his family a lot over the years, especially grandpa Ken who gave so much backing to the Sy Family to get on their feet in the family business and prosper to this extent. '
His father and their successful future… all of it… they practically owed to the Kens, and Liam was feeling grateful that Ryu thought of him in this kind of situation. He was glad to get involved in their personal and difficult matters and to be of any kind of help for them.
Shawn explained Liam everything right from the start and the way he was involved with the Yue Clan prince Yun, without even his knowing. It was all kind of a trap laid against him to make the Kens bow in front of them and accept their dominance.
"He is now blackmailing . If it's only … I really wouldn't care about it. He can do anything he wants, but he's also threatening my family. And above all is the safety of my wife and child, that despicable Yun is even threatening with their lives. I don't want to drag the entire family of Ken down because of . Moreover, my family is my bottom line, I still have so much power in those underground alleys that I can easily fight him off, but I don??t want to walk on the sa path again, that I once quit for getting my family." Shawn quavered.
"I understand. Don't worry… We will absolutely give that bastard a taste of his own dicine." Liam firmly stated. He was good at dealing with all kinds of cases and he intently listened to every detail from Shawn.
They paused a while in between their conversation to eat lunch first. Shawn's assistant had ordered a lavish spread for lunch that was served in his office for the three of them to enjoy. Liam got a little free ti and imdiately then he thought to call Lana, thinking if she was already awake.
*******
Lana left from the Huang mansion and drove to her apartnt. The first thing she did was to clean the entire place up, then she rested a bit before ssaging Clyde to drop by her place and join her for lunch in her apartnt.
She then went to the supermarket close to her house and bought so ingredients to make lunch and as she was cooking she received a call from Liam. Her heart leaped seeing his na flashing on her mobile phone's screen.
"Weird…" she mumbled and exhaled loudly to control her erratically beating heart before answering the call. She felt weird… She was extrely excited and nervous at the sa?ti on receiving that simple phone call from him.
"Hello…" She softly whispered
"Hmm, you're already awake then. Have you eaten lunch already?" Liam asked.
"Not yet. I'm about to finish cooking."
"You're cooking?"
"Yes, why?"
Lana's doorbell buzzed, so she walked to the door while asking Liam, "Is that all?"
As soon as she opened the door. Clyde hugged her exclaiming, "I missed you dear! How co it took you so long to see !!!"
Liam suddenly stood up from his chair, hearing a male voice coming from the other side of the phone. It even felt the man was very close to Lana and…. 'were they hugging?'
His face darkened, and he felt a pang of jealousy hit him hardly at that mont. His cousins, Ryu and Shawn, who were sitting in front of him, knitted their brows as they watched Liam's dark expression.
"Who's that? Where are you? Are you not ho? Why are you cooking today?" Liam asked with a gloomy face.
"Oh, it's Clyde, my friend. You have t him at my place once, rember? I ca to check and clean my apartnt today as it was deserted for so long and needed a bit of attention. I had ti in hand today so I dropped down here and also decided to cook. I did so cleaning and I will now have lunch with Clyde. See you later. Eat your lunch at ti. Thanks." he heard Lana explain before hearing a beep sound and the call ended from Lana's side.
"You have a woman?" Ryu and Shawn exclaid in chorus, looking intently, with eyes full of surprise at Liam.
"He's a woman hater, right?" Shawn asked, turning his head towards Ryu, and Ryu nodded.
