The Law of Attraction

Chapter 229: Last A Lifetime

Everything was going smoothly during the time Lana was studying at the center. She and Liam never failed to see each other every day, whether through the video calls every weekday and being physically intimate with each other during the weekend.

Liam would also sneak inside the center every Sunday to be with Lana in her room until early in the morning of Mondays, and would quietly leave before the sun was up before anyone could see him there.

Lana was having a hearty dinner with the others at that time and was sharing a casual chat while eating. She hurriedly finished her food and emptied her plate, then stood up that instant, stopping the ongoing conversation in the middle, and said, "I will go ahead first, you guys continue," to everyone, she shared the same table with that evening.

"Hey why are you always in a hurry?" one of the students studying with her asked.

"Why else? Of course, to talk to her handsome boyfriend. If my boyfriend was like him, I would rather talk to him all night than talk to you all for even a minute. Gosh, so hot and perfect… You're so lucky Lana." the other one commented and Lana's face blushed.

She only gave them a timid smile and made a gesture to them that she would now leave or else the others would definitely tease her nonstop.

They all had seen Liam visiting her and fortunately no one from the center did not know who Liam was since he was famous in the legal world and most of the lawyers worshipped him. But she did not dare correct any of them with what they thought about her relationship with Liam. For them they were still boyfriend and girlfriend and no one knew she was married to him. Not that she did not want them to know, but simply because she thought it was not necessary to brag about her marriage with Liam at that point.

She quickly went inside her room to clean herself up first, then fixed her appearance before dialing Liam's number. But her forehead creased because his mobile phone just kept on ringing.

She looked at the clock and the time was right for their daily video call time.

"Oh, silly…" she mumbled when she recalled that Liam informed her last night that he needed to go on a business trip that night so he was probably still travelling by air.

She only then checked her unread messages Liam sent telling her that they were about to take off. She slumped her body on the bed and stared at the ceiling. She was too excited to remember that and forgot that tonight she might not be able to see Liam.

Lana felt disappointed and moved sideways and hugged the pillow tightly that Liam gave her, saying she could hug that instead whenever she would miss him.

Her mobile phone rang, and she answered it quickly, seeing it was her friend Keira.

"Hmm can you talk right now?" Keira asked from another line.

Lana chuckled and said, "Of course… You know I'm always free to answer you…"

"Hmm… But you said strictly no disturbance at this hour, you are busy with your husband darling!" Keira scoffed.

"And yet here you are…" Lana countered, grinning.

"How is your session going with Dr. Dee?" Keira asked.

"It's great, Keira. Thank you for the recommendation. He's really a very good doctor and so far I'm not having any nightmare after the last one that I told you. That night when I had my last one also, I managed it really well."

"That's good. I hope all goes well now. By the way, make sure to pass that exam and get a license soon. I will recommend you to my cousin Xander as his family attorney."

"Didn't he have a family attorney already?" Lana asked. She heard Keira laugh and said, "He wanted to replace him since he's old already. Gosh, he's their family attorney since from uncle's batch. Let the old man retire now. Well, if you don't like to take up this job, then I can tell him to get Liam instead so we both brother and sister can have the same family lawyer."

"Hey… I like and love to get this job, so it's already accepted. Thank you for the recommendation sis. My husband already has a lot on his plate, so it's not good to give him more load. I will get that job soon." Lana mumbled with a grin. She did not have a license yet and heard she was getting her soon to be a first client with the help of another friend.

"Xander said he would need someone he could trust well, and I think you fit well in that criteria…"

Lana laughed and boastfully said, "Many lawyers can fit well but not all have a background like mine, especially the fighting skills and ex-army personnel who had even surpassed deadly missions because of a stubborn friend."

That time Keira laughed out loud and agreed saying, "You should thank me for those experiences because you experienced and? learned a lot at that time…"

Lana could almost see Keira making a face on her, even though she could not see her physically but she knew her so well...

"Okay, I have to go now Lana. I'll talk to you later. I will inform Xander to wait for you and not accept his lawyer's retirement yet."

"Yup…" Lana answered and soon the two ended the call.

She suddenly became more excited about being an official lawyer but nothing excites her more than the thought of facing her husband in the same courtroom, but she realised that this particular scenario would be so impossible unless one of them represented the wrong side of the case.

"That won't definitely happen," Lana whispered because she and Liam had the same principles, to always defend what was right and for the people who needed real justice.

She then grinned in her own thoughts about having a baby once she would have beaten Liam inside the courtroom. She did not mind having a baby right now though… her and Liam's baby...

She was drowning in her own thoughts when her mobile phone rang again and this time a beautiful smile formed on her lips, seeing it was Liam.

"I almost choked coughing seeing such a bright smile on your face… I bet you are thinking of me a lot." Liam said as soon as Lana's face popped up to his screen.

Lana laughed and countered, "Aren't you too much ahead of yourself Attorney Sy. Do you think I daydream about you even when I am awake?"

Liam chuckled and said, "No? but I bet you were missing me. I'm inside the car now. We still have twenty more minutes to talk before I arrive at the venue of the meeting."

Lana then excitedly informed him about Keira's call and offer.

"Wow, a client in advance. As expected, my wife will definitely do great as Attorney Lana Huang Sy." Liam praised.

Lana's face blushed. She felt she was too much in love with Liam because every single and simple word from him could now make her easily blush. She never knew that love could be such a delightful feeling and made one forget all the grievances of life just like that, and she was grateful to experience something unexpected such as this in this lifetime. How she hoped this thing they had would last a lifetime.
