Everyone of Lana's close friends were already present in Keira's garden when Lana and Liam arrived.

  "Welcome Liam to our home. Come, let me introduce you to everyone here. This is my husband Zach." Keira introduced them after a warm hug. He accepted Zach's handshake.

  This was the first time he was meeting him in person, thanks to Lana!. The tall, well built muscular man was a very well-known name to everyone as a valorous general of their country and would definitely soon be the Field Marshal.

  Then May and Drey introduced their spouses to Liam as well. Soon they all started chatting while starters and drinks were served. Some time passed, and they all were so engrossed in talking that they didn't realise when Keira got up and served the dinner onto a long table perfectly arranged in the garden under the night sky.

  Everyone was having a good meal over another round of good conversation.

  "Do you remember how Lana always ran away from Torin?" May recalled with a grin while she looked at Keira who laughed recalling all those scenes.

  Liam looked at Keira with questioning eyes, as if asking her to elaborate the story further.

  "Oh… Torin is my husband's best friend and a soldier as well. He took a liking to Lana while we were undergoing training in the military camp. Lana always turned him down or she would always run away as soon as she would notice him approaching. She never even let anyone come any closer to her," Keira explored and teased Lana on how aloof she was during that time.

  "Torin is a funny and bubbly guy. Maybe Lana doesn't like guys with that temperament. Well, now we know what type of man Lana prefers for her. Someone like Liam." Drey added in a teasing voice, enjoying how his dear friend Lana was blushing for the first time because of the man.

  "Yeah and our dear Lana indeed has a very good taste." May praised Liam, who like Lana was blushing too.

  "But jokes aside, I feel so happy right now seeing Lana having a partner… A husband…" Drey added.

  "Yeah and I hope Liam will work hard as well in giving our kids more playmates like little Lana." May giggled as she imagined a mini Lana scolding her, Drey and Keira's kids… like Lana who amongst them acted more mature and rational.

  "Stop teasing us… I want to focus on my chosen career first." Lana interrupted with a crumpled face.

  Liam smiled and seconded, "Yes, we're not in a rush at this point since Lana is yet to graduate. Maybe a year of practicing her profession will be enough before we focus on making babies."

  Lana's eyes rounded at Liam and she burst, "One year?! I won't even have made my name yet in that span of time. We are definitely not going to have babies before I fulfill my dream of beating you in the court."

  Liam pinched her nose and said, "Don't worry, of course you will. I'm sure you will beat me in just a year…"

  "Hahaha! I bet you will Lana because Liam will not dare win against you inside the courtroom!" Drey commented, still laughing.

  "Welcome to the henpecked husband club bro!" Zach interrupted.

  "If that's the case, then I'm in the club… No battle is more victorious than letting your wife win the battle…" Liam seconded while Drey raised his glass for a toast.

  "Cheers!" shouted all the husbands in a chorus.

  Lana shook her head, watching how Liam was connecting well with her friends.

  "How about we all go on a trip together? Like a couple's outing? Let's visit Keira's island?" May suggested excitedly.

  "Yeah that's a good idea! Let's do it as soon as you graduate?" Keira suggested. The women had their own conversation since the men were busy on their own talks.

  Lana only nodded and smiled. The enthusiasm of her friends towards her wedding was too clearly visible on their faces, and Lana could not help but feel satisfied by how they were all happy and for the first time free of worries about her .

  "Lana, now we don't have to worry about you being an old maid," Keira commented with a wink.

  "But we will still wait for the news of playmates for your nieces and nephews…" May added.

  As usual, Lana only nodded and smiled. Lesser the comment, lesser talks about that topic. She knew her friends very well, and they knew her well too, so her answering like that was just a common thing for her.

  Liam put more side dishes on her plate and Lana almost choked hearing May squealed.

  "Sorry! I just can't help it! I mean, this is the first time I am seeing Lana being taken care of by a man." May explained with an awkward smile.

  "I know right… It's making me cry too because I'm too delighted to witness it." Keira seconded. Everyone laughed while Lana shook her head because even she had not expected that she would come to that point where she would let a man take care of her ever in her life like that.

  They all had a great dinner together and spent a splendid night. Liam did not miss any opportunity that he got to stare at Lana even more without her knowing and see her laugh a lot happily with her friends. He felt great seeing her in a good mood and genuinely enjoying herself for the first time. Never had he seen her enjoy any dinner or party before.

  "I guess when someone's in love… It's a common thing to happen," Liam heard Keira speak as she handed him a glass of wine.

  "I'm sorry?" Liam asked, looking confused with what Keira meant.

  "Well… You can't see yourself smiling on your own while looking at Lana with those sparkling eyes of yours, full of love." Keira added with a teasing grin.

  "Lana could be a handful and stubborn at times Liam, but trust me, whether she says this to you or not, she loves you." Keira stated.

  Liam's ears enlarged. His heart took a leap, and he felt like flying in the sky after hearing those words from Keira. He turned towards her with rounded eyes that made Keira laugh.

  "I knew it… As expected from our Lana. She does not know how to be vocal about her feelings for others, all that she can do is show it in her actions and reactions. Knowing my dear friend and based on your expressions, you don't even know how she feels about you yet. But trust me, Lana is in love with you, if I am right.

  I can see that in every action of hers. If you want her to admit her true feelings to you, then you might have to wait a little and also push her towards confession. Just make her feel more secure about your relationship and she will eventually confess herself to you. If you need any help, you can always ask me for it Liam. You just need to be a little patient with her…" Keira murmured with a chuckle.

  Liam on the other hand wanted to ask Keira how she could tell Lana loves him? It was quite impossible for him to believe… Maybe if Keira said Lana likes her he would have readily believed her words, but love??
