The Law of Attraction

Chapter 202: His Ideal Woman

The worry on Lana's face was replaced by a smile as soon as she saw Liam, who was still sleeping heavily on the bed. Her weariness seemed to fade whenever she looked at him and sat by his side.

"Look at him… Today is the judgment day for that crucial and delicate case, and prince Liam is still sleeping like he does not have to go for a head-to-head battle later?"

She sniggered as she approached Liam on the bed. She suddenly had a naughty thought in mind. Lately she often had such ideas cropping in her mind, playful ideas to tease him, which was so out of her character, maybe because she was already too comfortable and at ease with Liam.

She sat down beside him and bent down, bringing her face close to his ears. She bit on his ear and then woke him up by raining him with kisses on every part of his face while she chanted, "Wake up, wake up! Today is Gale's trial. You don't wanna end up losing the case because of your hangover, right?"

"Oh, my head…??? Liam cried as he tried to get up and hugged Lana.

"Ahhhhh… This feels so nice. Maybe I should skip the trial and stay here, on the bed, with you." Liam mumbled.

"You… get up now, I have made a hangover soup for you, drink the soup and take some medicine so later we'll have a slam victory." Lana mumbled and tried to push Liam as she added, "Go now and take a shower. You said you can manage even if you're drunk geez you're too stubborn. I told you not to drink too much."

Liam answered her only with a kiss on her lips before jumping out of the bed to shower.

"Hmm, looks like he does not remember a thing…" Lana whispered as she stood up to go out and wait at the dining area.

Liam was even whistling as he showered. He knew he should not have drunk too much last night, but it was a splendid night with just a few close people and families and was really enjoyable.

Plus, he remembered the wonderful dream in which he heard Lana confessed to him and said she only had him in her heart. How he hoped that it would soon happen, not only in a dream but in reality.

'Could it be real?' he mused but then shook his head realising it would be too impossible knowing Lana's personality.

He soon finished dressing up and went directly to the dining area. "Good morning mom," he greeted and sat on a chair. Lana served his soup first, then handed him the medicine and said, "Take this later after the breakfast."

Mrs. Huang smiled in contentment when he watched the drastically changed attitude of Lana. She was glad to see how Lana was taking care of her husband nowadays.

"Stop staring mom and eat." Lana commented because she could see the teasing smile on her mother's face.

Lana and Liam soon left to go directly to the court for Gale's trial. Lana could simply not miss such an event because she wanted to witness how Liam would keep his case and show his evidence to turn the tables on the culprits, of what she thought at first to be a hopeless case.

They were walking in the court's hallway premises leading to the courtroom when they saw Noah also walking towards the courtroom from the opposite direction. They both paused at the door where Gale's trial was to be held.

Noah greeted her and Liam. "You're here to watch the trial?" Lana asked.

Noah smiled and nodded, then he looked at Liam and said, "I just?came to see and watch attorney Sy in action. This case, I want to see how he deals with it, because this is very controversial."

"Too bad... you can't poach me." Liam scorned and Noah laughed.

"No hard feelings, Liam Sy. You know how the business world works. I always play fair, and it's not my fault if some of your employees choose to try a different environment and enjoy better payslips."

"I guess you're right… It's a good thing they decided to change as they will find significant differences there. Still, poaching from other law firms looks too desperate."

Noah seemed to not mind Liam's words and even patted his shoulders before entering inside the courtroom while he said, "I am desperate Liam… Desperate to make things I touch turn into gold immediately."

Liam shook his head, and Luo's face popped up in his mind. He couldn't help but muse, 'These two will make a good pair for sure!' Whenever he talked to Noah, he noticed how the latter had the aim to be the best and to profit in whatever he does inevitably.

They both also entered the courtroom, and Lana sat beside Liam as his personal assistant. As the time of the case hearing came, the policemen escorted Gale into the courtroom and she sat on her seat.

Noah's assistant Craig, who was sitting beside him, gave him a short briefing about the prior proceedings of the case and also an idea of Gale's life history. Noah looked at her from head to toe and when he saw her beautiful angelic face he commented, "she looks innocent, but then looks can be deceiving."

Noah knew that Gale was Liam's ex, and it was the first time he had seen that woman. He wondered if the two of them still shared any kind of a special bond for Liam to decide to defend her probono, even though he knew it was like finding a needle in the haystack.

Then Noah looked at Lana and sighed. He liked Lana the moment he saw her that day when he bumped into her car accidentally, but he regretted that he was late in meeting her. Who would have thought she would get married quickly and that too with Attorney Liam Sy?

Lana was the ideal woman in his eyes. An independent woman who was not gullible or timid but was a fighter who knew how to find her own ways, and most importantly did not depend on someone in attaining her goals.

Then he looked at Liam and mused, 'If you dare make even a single wrong move relating to Lana, I will not stay idle and stop myself from stealing your woman.'

As of now, he was idle and was not thinking of making any advances towards Lana since it was not in his personality to steal a married woman from her husband. But he was aware that marriage did not always end up successfully, so he had decided to watch and see how well Liam would keep his marriage well, unlike Liam's father who could not get a hold of his own wife.

'Let's see if the son is like his father or…' Noah chimed with a mocking smirk.
