The Law of Attraction

Chapter 51: No Touching!

Lana then realized that her perception of Liam being a gay could be wrong since Miley had just talked about his first love, though she was unable to ask Miley if Liam's first love was a female or a male?

But her thought quickly vanished, seeing the warmly smiling face of Senior Sy who was now walking towards them. Lana almost fell in love with Liam's father and was heavily envious of Liam to have such a loving and caring father, because since she was a child she had dreamt of a father like him, who would love her and take care of each and every problem in her life.

"How about slightly loosening the muscles of your stiff?face? Your father is here… and you look like you're so unhappy with me with that crumpled and stiff face of yours." Lana suggested and grabbed Liam's arm while she rested her head on Liam's shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Liam whimpered and subsequently hissed.

"Playing my role of a good girlfriend. You should thank me, you know, and reward me later. It takes so much effort for me to pull it off so well for you…" Lana teased. She loved seeing Liam's father with that satisfied and joyful smile on him whenever she would show slightest of affection to his son.

'Such an endearing father.' Lana mused, not everyone is blessed to have such a father. A glint of sadness crossed her beautiful face at that thought but was quickly replaced by a wide and beautiful smile again seeing Liam's father was nearing together with Jorge and Miley.

"More like playing tormentor." Liam sarcastically mumbled and Lana only laughed at his analogy.

"Prepare to get tormented then boyfriend… Remember you asked for this…" Lana defended.

…..

"Did I disturb something? I see you two were having a good moment together." Senior Sy commented with an album in his hand.

Lana laughed and said, "No father, it's always better to spend time with you than him."

Senior Sy lifted the albums in his hand patting it with another hand and excitedly boasted, "Here, let me show you Liam's pictures when he's still a kid."

Liam's face twitched when he saw Lana immediately leave his side and jumped towards his father to watch the pics and giddily check the albums. She even shifted a little and sat beside his father leaving no attention towards him.

"Father is so happy with Lana… he looks so pleased and satisfied… See how bright is his aura right now? I bet his health would boost up because of Lana." Jorge commented.

Jorge very naturally said the scripted words that their scheming father has hammered in his mind a while ago.

Jorge did not know whether to pity Liam or be grateful that his father was helping him out in building a good relationship with Lana.

Liam did not answer, but only sighed. Lana was wholeheartedly enjoying watching Liam's pics from his childhood to his high school and some more even taken a little later than that. She made a natural gesture to show her affection and bonding with Liam in front of his father and touched his arm again and even leaned a little on his shoulder!

'Why could she not follow a simple request of no touching!' Liam inwardly cried.

But then, unbeknownst to him, his face became softer whenever he saw his father laughing heartily while talking to Lana.

"I can't believe that's my brother who is so smitten by a woman. Do you?" Miley whispered in Jorge's ears who suddenly got startled because of her closeness with him.

Jorge gulped and was about to move away from his seat but Miley mumbled, "If you move even a single inch, I will hold your hand and kiss it in front of everyone."

He froze on his seat and did not dare to move a single inch because he knew how shameless Miley could be even in front of Liam or their father, much less Lana. Miley secretly smiled seeing Jorge obeyed.

"So what do you think...?" Miley seductively whispered again.

Jorge creased his forehead, thinking Miley was referring again about them. "Miley stop it, why are you so persistent in pursuing me…" Jorge whispered.

Miley's eyebrows lifted up and said, "Jorge, what I mean is what do you think about father's plan? But since you have asked that question… Let me answer you one last time…"

"I'm no longer pursuing you, Jorge. I finally gave up…" Miley simply added in a flat and cold voice, completely emotionless. "How long can I run behind a person who doesn't want to be with me?"

Jorge did not expect those words could ever come from her mouth and he felt as if something had broken inside him. Her answer had left him shocked and he couldn't help but look at her with his mouth agape.

"Lana, I want you to feel at home with us, treat us like a real family from now on. I really like your choice Liam, I never expected you to be with such a beautiful and intelligent as well as loving and caring girl." Senior Sy bluntly declared that made Lana blush, and Liam coughed.

"It's too obvious that you like her, father. You don't even have to say it to Lana. You're wooing Lana ever since she arrived." Miley chose to interrupt their embarrassed moment, hearing that conversation, and even left Jorge alone to sit beside her father and check the albums together with Lana and Senior Sy.

'Is she serious?' Jorge mused, looking at Miley with doubt. Ever since she grew up she had never been so cold towards him.

Her bubbling presence always started his day and kept the moments flowing through the day.
