Lana felt so excited about the evening dinner that she even put on some light makeup on her face. She smiled, seeing her own reflection in the mirror.

  Soon her mobile phone rang, and she rushed outside the review center only to see her roguishly handsome husband waiting for her with his back leaning on the door of his car.

  Lana ran and jumped at him. She too was too surprised how shamelessly she acted.

  "Woaw… Looks like you really missed me too, huh?" Liam whispered and was about to kiss her but then thought they looked a little awkward in a public place so he hurriedly put Lana down on her feet before giving her a quick peck on her lips.

  He opened the car door and said, "Get in."

  Lana went inside and they soon hit the road towards the restaurant Jorge booked.

  "I see the dress fit you perfectly…" Liam commented while grabbing Lana's hand with his free hand to kiss it gently. It was a wine-colored square neck cocktail swing dress that emphasized Lana's perfect curves.

  "Yeah and I see you also know my shoe size? I wonder what else is it you didn't know about me?" Lana whispered as she moved to hug Liam's arm. Being so close to him felt so great during that night drive with soft and relaxing music being played inside the car.

  "Hmm have you been completely honest with me? Like, didn't you feel that 'love at first kiss' just the way I did?" Liam teased.

  Lana chuckled and said, "Sorry, but I didn't. Maybe i felt a little attraction towards you, but I don't think that was love at that point. It would be too early for a person like me to be in love so fast."

  "Ouch!" Liam voiced out as if it hurt him, making Lana laugh more.

  It was probably not that funny for anyone else to see, but it was making Lana laugh.

  "Hmm, I don't think my humor is that great but hearing these crispy laughs from you, my love, makes me thrilled. Maybe I should learn a few tricks from Jorge on how to be funny, huh." Liam enthusiastically uttered.

  It was not into his character to be funny, but making Lana laugh like that was too inspiring for him.

  "Yeah your humor is not that hilarious but maybe because I love you so simple things you make or say can make me laugh easily." Lana genuinely commented. She was really not holding back in expressing herself.

  Liam's heart was beating too loud. He was not dreaming, not at all, and yet he felt like he was flying in cloud nine whenever he would hear the word 'love' from Lana's mouth.

  Everyone was already there in the exclusive restaurant with a beautiful view of the sea when Lana and Liam arrived. Lana greeted and hugged everyone, most especially her mother who she also missed so much.

  "I wonder what could be the occasion for this sudden gathering?" Mrs. Huang asked.

  "Lana finally confessed how she loves me deeply so I wanted to celebrate this day with all our loved ones…" Liam said in a jest and Lana hit him on the chest as she scoffed, "Stop that!"

  Her face was blushing hard.

  "Just kidding… Hmm, just that today is such a special day for me and Lana so I wanted to celebrate it with you guys."

  Senior Sy gulped and could no longer help but asked, "Is there any big surprise tonight?"

  Liam grinned, and he knew that the smile of his son had a meaning so he inwardly rejoiced thinking the couple would announce something about Lana's pregnancy.

  He patiently waited not to spoil the mood, although he was itching hard already to hear the good news.

  "Alright…. Let's all eat first…." Senior Sy immediately cheered as their fresh seafood arrived.

  Miley laughed and said, "Father, don't eat too much, remember your cholesterol was high last month… At your age it won't be good."

  "Hey…… stop that. I still have normal vitals so don't be a killjoy. Besides, today is a happy day, so let's all enjoy this luscious meal.

  Mrs. Huang nodded.

  "Here Ana… Take more of the scallops and oyster. These are actually good for our body," Senior Sy commented and put some on his in-law's plate.

  Lana heaved a sigh seeing such an adoring scene in front of her, as she watched everyone in the round table. They were all now her family. She could not help as tears welled up in her eyes. She felt so lucky to have everyone around her. She, who was an orphan, was too lucky to be surrounded by these people who she could call as her family.

  Liam was too busy removing the skins of the prawns for Lana. "Here, eat this," he whispered and looked at her.

  "What happened?" He worriedly asked, seeing Lana was wiping her tears. Everyone paused and looked at Lana as well, hearing Liam's concerned voice.

  Lana bashfully smiled and said, "Sorry I just killed the mood. I'm just too touched with this scene. Having all of you in here…"

  Mrs. Huang held Lana's hand. Her daughter lacked emotions while growing up and yet here she was full of emotions and she was really glad with the improvements she was seeing in Lana ever since Liam and his family came into their lives.

  Mrs. Huang also took the opportunity to voice out how grateful she was to Liam and his family. Miley too became emotional and hugged her sister-in-law saying, No matter what we will always have your back sis. We too are lucky you know to have you and auntie in our family."

  After that wonderful dinner, Liam looked at the sky and said, "Such a great evening."

  Everyone followed his gaze and suddenly a beautiful fireworks display appeared in the sky.

  "Wow!" Miley exclaimed, looking at the beautiful lights they created. But then she saw another light and burst, "What the heck?"

  "It's beautiful…" Lana whispered, but her forehead creased when letters suddenly formed together with the fireworks overlooking the sea. She saw lights in letters saying, 'Will you marry me, Lana Huang?"

  She looked at Liam who had that beautiful smile on his lips.

  'Oh my God…' she cried, seeing how Liam bent down on his knees with a sparkling ring in his hands. She could not believe something like that would ever happen to her. She had never imagined herself being overwhelmed and happy on such a magnanimous proposal ever……

  "Please let's have a proper wedding ceremony. Marry me again Mrs. Lana Huang Sy?"
