Senior Sy cheerily came over with open arms and tightly hugged Lana in his warm embrace.

  Lana gulped with the warm, tight hug of the man she assumed to be Liam's father. He looked so young and was more handsome than he looked in the photos. And yes, she had already done her assignment and took time to check on Liam's family before going to meet them all.

  Unlike Liam, Senior Sy had a bright, smiling and warm aura. She even thought Jorge was more like Senior Sy and looked like his son, given the temperament they both had so opposite to the cold face that Liam always flaunted.

  Then a beautiful woman in long blonde hair approached her for a hug when Senior Sy finally released her. She was Liam's sister Miley and just as with Senior Sy, she was more gorgeous in person than in her pics.

  "Lana! It's so finally nice to meet you. Oh gosh, you look so natural and ravishing. No wonder my brother is so smitten by you." Liam's sister genuinely commented. Lana raised her eyebrows at those comments and unconsciously blushed.

  "Miley!" Lian buzzed and Miley laughed, amused by how her brother was stopping her.

  "I'm Miley by the way, Liam's sister and you know this is our father who is so excited to see you that he forgot to introduce himself first." Miley murmured with a wink.

  "Oh yeah my bad, I'm sorry about it dear," Senior Sy muttered with a wide smile.

  Lana suddenly felt guilty for deceiving them all, who gave her such a warm welcome because she was not Liam's real girlfriend and she was there just to act and pretend to be his girlfriend. They looked so sincere and she felt the warmth in her heart by the way they simply welcomed her home.

  "Let's go inside," Liam's father said and walked first, leading her way inside the mansion.

  Miley quickly pulled her inside the mansion.

  She turned and had a quick glance at Liam, who was walking beside Jorge. He met her eyes with a blank face.

  'Look at how stiff he is?' Lana mused, still not convinced that Liam was related to Miley, who was hugging her arm, and Senior Sy who was smiling ear to ear, while he stated, "I asked our chef to prepare a scrumptious meal, with a wide variety of dishes and I hope you like it all. Let's go to the dining area first and have lunch before anything else."

  Lana nodded and followed Senior Sy with Miley sticking beside her like a leech. Liam's sister was too clingy with her, but in a cute way, and she did not dislike it at all. The family environment was really very harmonious and sweet, and Lana could not help but think about the good luck of the woman who marries Liam in the future, except tolerating this ice statue.

  'It seems that I will thoroughly enjoy my short visit with Liam's family.' Lana mused.

  They were at the lunch table, and Senior Sy had indeed prepared a feast in her welcome.

  "They all look so delicious, Sir." Lana unconsciously remarked.

  "Call me father please Lana, like what all of them here calls me. Sir sounds really awkward." Senior Sy requested.

  Lana's eyes flickered and gladly answered, "Noted father."

  Liam gulped, seeing Lana secretly looking at him with a terrifying smirk on her face. He remembered that was his exact expression, just like what Lana had now, when he spent time with her mother. Lana's smirking face sent chills down his spine and he knew, he could sense, that she was up to something evil.

  Senior Sy led a prayer before saying, "let's eat."

  Lana excitedly picked on the dishes and put a variety of it on Liam's plate. She didn't lack in her acting, showing all the love in her eyes for him and smiling coyly at times while offering him things. Liam was losing it all with her attitude.

  "What are you doing?" Liam whispered.

  "Love, you should eat healthy food like this. You know how much I care about your diet." Lana comfortably provoked. She even cut some meat and forked it to feed Liam.

  Senior Sy looked so amused watching his son being taken care of by a woman, a young and beautiful woman, who was also a lawyer.

  "Oh, I'm so glad Lana that you came into Liam's life. I was so worried that Liam would never ever be with a woman until I die. But thank you, he finally brought a woman for us to meet." Senior Sy could not help but comment.

  'She's a havoc, not some cute, beautiful woman dad! Her looks are misguiding you all. She is more harmful than all the criminals together in jail right now!' Liam wanted to counter because ever since Lana came into his life, he had experienced nothing but scourge.

  Liam's face was gloomy as he accepted the meat Lana was insisting on feeding him. Lana then picked some pickles and put some on Liam's plate too.

  "Oh, Lana, didn't big bro mention that he hates pickles? It's just me who loves it, so father included it in the dishes." Miley commented with a smile, seeing Lana put some on Liam's plate.

  "Oh…" Lana gasped and looked at Liam's blank face. "Really, you hate it?" Lana asked.

  Liam simply nodded. Hoping against hope that Lana would not take this advantage and pull his legs.

  "But I love pickles too. It's very healthy and you should eat this, try a little." Lana mumbled and forked again to feed it to Liam.

  Jorge gulped, seeing the tension on Liam's face… But his jaw dropped when Liam slowly opened his mouth to accept the pickles.

  Miley, Jorge and Senior Sy glanced at each other in disbelief because it had been years since Liam had even looked towards pickles, talking about eating it.

  Liam's jaw clenched while he chewed the hateful pickles. "That's like a good boy. These are healthy food so you must not be picky about it." Lana muttered dotingly and even gently patted Liam on his head.

  Miley sat there with her mouth agape. She could no longer fathom the fact that her tiger brother had turned into a meek cat. She couldn't watch anymore how obedient her proud brother had become, so she diverted her entire attention on her food instead.

  Meanwhile, Senior Sy felt so excited and was so overwhelmed with happiness when he saw how much caring Lana had been for Liam, that he even mentioned, "Lana, you should visit here often, whenever you're free. I'm sure Liam would also want that. I'm glad I no longer have to force my son on blind dates."

  "No… Stop bo…" Liam said but suddenly froze. He felt his nerves would blast any moment and he would explode like a bomb right then.

  Lana held his thigh under the table, squeezing it hard.

  'What the hell are you doing?' Liam's eyes widened as he turned on her. Lana only?gave him a sweet smile and simply said, "Yes, father. I will surely visit often."

  "Father, let's all eat first." Liam interrupted with a stammering voice because Lana's hand was still on his thigh, holding it tightly and moving her fingers to tease him.

  'What's wrong with this woman!' Liam inwardly cried.

  "Later, you can ask Liam to tour you around the mansion, go and see the entire estate, the gardens and the house and stroll around with him, then we can have an afternoon late tea for some chitchat." Senior Sy commented before signaling Lana to continue with lunch.

  That very moment Senior Sy had decided to pursue Lana for Liam. He must find a way to have them get married as soon as possible. Because only Lana could hold Liam's reign.
