"Gracy… I will only say it today, once, so please keep this in your mind. No one, I repeat… No one may touch my wife. Not even you. If someday I find out you have taken even a single step towards bullying my wife, you will be answerable to me directly." Liam grunted.

"And also remember that gone are the days when we were kids, we are all grown-up and mature people now. We have our own lives and we have all changed from those naive, reckless youths to mature, sensible a.d.u.l.ts.

And yes, my taste has changed quite a lot in these past years, my favourite coffee has actually also changed and this I just can still drink this one, but my favourite one now is the cappuccino, same as Lana's drink."

Gracy gulped but in a meek tone grumbled, "Are you perhaps threatening me, Liam? I was just concerned about you and your family and so I did all this, and why would you think I will bully Lana? Of course not! I'm not that kind of woman to stoop so low."

"That's good then and I hope I have made myself clear. Lana is my wife and everything concerning her is solely my business. I don't give any rights to anyone else to interfere in this at all, including you... so please stay away from all it.

I respected your father so much so please in the honor of that mutual respect between him and me; I hope you won't do any unnecessary things against my wife. I love my wife and I will stand by her side no matter what and regardless of anything about her... whether it's good or bad." Liam cleared his piece without batting an eye at Gracy's.

Gracy kept her calm, but deep inside her heart she was in a rage. She tried to force a smile on Liam and said, "I understand Liam. Don't worry, I'm good. I just thought you are not aware of her past and so I thought you should… Anyway, let's just leave it here. I will take leave now, Liam. I'm sorry about today, if I sounded a bit too nosy… Sorry."

Liam exhaled loudly and said, "I understand your concern towards me and my family Gracy, really, but again, you don't need to be this much concerned."

Gracy then stood up and smiled again at Liam. As soon as she was out of the door, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth with anger. Hatred for Lana surged in her body and she could clearly see how obviously Liam was blinded by Lana's dark spell! But she vowed to break that stinking spell that witch had cast on Liam.

Liam silently stayed in his seat for a while even after Gracy left and rubbed his chin with his finger while his mind was occupied with all that Gracy said.

He was in deep thought about what Gracy said about Lana's father. He was already aware about Lana's past and he also knew about her criminal father who was a candidate for a parole.

Though Gracy did not have any right to speak in his family matters, yet what she said was something to worry about. He somehow got worried, thinking if any such thing happened when Lana's biological father came out on parole. Would there be any accidents when that time came? But all he hoped for was that Lana could let him protect her if ever her biological father would make trouble in her life.

His eyes darted on his watch, and he looked at the time. It was almost lunchtime. He grabbed his mobile and had a playful smile while he typed a message.

Lana checked her mobile phone when she heard it beep. She saw it was a message from Liam, so she clicked and opened his message.

[It's lunchtime now. What do we have for lunch?]

Her eyebrows drew together while she typed a reply to his message.

Liam heard his phone beep and excitedly opened it to see Lana's reply.

[Wrongly sent]

Liam chuckled. His message was indeed for Jorge, but it was not wrongly sent, since he intentionally sent it to Lana to tease her once again.

He again typed another message and sent it to her.

Lana was arranging a meal for her mother when her mobile phone beeped again.

She opened it and saw Liam's reply.

[Sorry about that… It was for Jorge. Anyway, it's lunchtime… Please eat well both you and mom… give her my regards. I'll drop by later to join you and mom for dinner.]

Lana did not reply and put her mobile phone back in her pocket.

Mrs. Huang who was observing Lana said, "Is that Liam? I am sure he must have messaged you to have a hearty lunch. Dear, you should reply the same to him."

Lana rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Mom… How come you know so well what Liam had texted? Are you guys having telepathy with each other? Even though he is in the office and you are here why do I still feel like you both are ganging up against me?"

"Sit here beside me, dear…" Lana heard her mother suddenly request.

Lana obediently sat on the side of her mother's bed.

Mrs. Huang held her hand and said, "Lana… I know it's still hard for you to fully give your heart to any man. But I hope that you can very soon finally overcome that fear set deep in your heart, with Liam's help.

It's a good start that you can finally trust someone… And if you only knew how relieved I am that you let Liam in your life… My dear… You can take your time, little by little… Step by step… But please don't push away the man who is willing to take those small steps together with you."

Lana pouted her lips… She sighed because her mother always had her ways with her gentle words where she would always end up feeling guilty.

"Mom, please don't worry. Liam is used to my barbaric attitude." Lana defended in a jest although she knew that her mother had other meaning to her words. Her mother was talking about her opening her heart to Liam because she was aware how she shut herself from falling in love no matter what.

"By the way, dear… Do you know anything about Liam's mother?" Mrs. Huang asked, and Lana exhaled loudly before telling her mother the story Liam told her about his mother.
