Chapter 317: Her Knight In Shining Armor
Lana immediately went to the receiving area of Chad's mansion, where Liam was eagerly waiting for her. She had a huge smile spread all over her face, seeing him standing there, looking outside. She immediately rushed over to him and hugged him from the back.
"I missed you…" she whispered as tears fell from her eyes. Finally, now the two of them could be together. Liam turned around and caressed her face, wiping off her tears from her cheeks, before lovingly pulling her into his tight embrace.
"I'm sorry that I had to keep you in dark from particular details of the case…" Liam whispered as he kissed her head.
"It's okay I understand everything now. Will your cousin be free now?" she murmured.
"Yeah… Totally cleared off from any connection to the underworld. No one will blackmail him going forward." Liam said.
They stayed there for a long time, just embracing and feeling each other's warmth.
"They really are husband and wife…" Chad murmured as he watched the two of them from a distance, then finally when the two of them let each other go, Chad walked towards them and coughed to announce his presence. Lana chuckled, and then formally introduced the two men.
Chad scratched his head and mumbled, "Wow… I can't believe this, Lana a man hater, is actually married and the one to get trapped in her dominating aura is none other than the famous Liam Sy? But then who can foretell fate?"
Lana smiled and said, "We will now take our leave, Chad…"
"Wait… I'll arrange a tour for you guys while you are here. How about you take a three to five days vacation? We actually have really nice places you can visit here. My men will escort you and provide anything and everything you need. Keira just called and asked me for this, saying I should give you a long pending, grand honeymoon with your husband."
Lana's eyes rounded and her cheeks reddened.
"Thank you." Liam was the one who answered, grateful for the arrangement Chad made, though he himself was planning to do so and stay for a few more days with Lana.
"It's nothing, really… You two deserve a good vacation after everything…" Chad commented, and soon the car that would escort them to their lodgings, arrived.
Chad's driver dropped them off at the famous hotel beach resort in the country. They were escorted in their room and the manager handed them their itinerary for tours.
"If you need anything, please don't hesitate to call us." the manager said and then finally left Lana and Liam alone in the big VIP suite arranged for them.
"We need to call mom and father to inform them that we are now together and will be extending our stay here as our honeymoon. I'm sure they will be delighted."
"Yeah, also call Miley and Jorge since those two are probably worried for us." Lana added and Liam nodded. He quickly grabbed his mobile phone to inform their families.
Meanwhile, Lana toured around their suite, which was more like a big house with complete amenities. She was quickly tempted to take a dip in the jacuzzi, so Lana immediately took off her clothes and dipped in.
"Ah, this is so relaxing…" she hummed as she closed her eyes, feeling the warm water relaxing her worn out body. Yeah, she did not have a physical fight at all, but her body felt really tired and worn out.
Liam heaved a long sigh as he watched his wife enjoying the jacuzzi with her eyes closed. He wanted to join her, but he could see that Lana was too tired. Joining her there, it would make it impossible to not tire her anymore.
Liam went inside the bathroom to have a quick shower. He felt lighthearted now that the problems were solved and their mission was successful. Now, he and Lana could finally focus more on baby making.

Meanwhile, at Sy Mansion, Senior Sy heaved a long sigh of relief after receiving the call from Liam. He was in the garden, having his late afternoon tea, when Chelsy served him with some snacks.
"Come and join me…" Senior Sy offered Chelsy the seat in front of him.
Chelsy timidly nodded and sat in front of him, in the seat he offered.
"How about you join me for a snack? Here, eat as well." he offered as he poured a cup of tea for Chelsy that she timidly accepted.
"Aren't you bored here?" Senior Sy curiously asked.
Chelsy smiled and shook her head while she replied, "My work here is very light compared to the restaurant where we met, sir. I even have better lodging in here and meals also so I feel really grateful to have crossed paths with a generous and kindhearted person like you, sir…"
Senior Sy chuckled and said, "I'm sure anyone will do the same… Anyway, it's good to hear that you are enjoying your work and stay here. But don't you have any dreams, Chelsy?"
He was aware that she could not finish her last year in college while studying business management because of her poor background. He was actually so touched with her story that he honestly felt a need in his heart to help her out more. She dedicated almost all her life to her sick father.
Chelsy had that beautiful smile as she answered, "Before I used to dream of opening up my own business, sir, but now I guess it's not for me."
"Why not? If you want, I can help you with it. I help foundations as well."
"No… Sir… You've done so much already. I don't want a pile of debt…" Chelsy said in a jest.
Senior Sy laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's not like I'm asking for a payment. I am old already and will not live that long, so it's better for me to do good things while I'm here."
Chelsy's eyes widened as she unconsciously burst out, "No Sir! Old?! What are you talking about? You're still young and I can bet you will have many more years to come."
Senior Sy liked Chelsy's bright attitude and optimism. It felt good to be surrounded by positive people like her. He found her very comfortable to talk with and enjoyed it whenever she talked a lot, like right now she was narrating about one of her funny experiences during her time working as a waitress at the restaurant.
Chelsy, on the other hand, felt very happy that she got the chance to have this conversation?with him, her knight in shining armor. Yes, she adored Mr. Ram Sy as a man and was not bothered by the age gap.
Well, she knew it was an impossible dream to have a man like him, but being near him like this was more than enough for her. Serving him and doing little things for him brought great joy to her heart.
