Chapter 319: Invitation
Lana and Liam spent each minute together like it was their last, they wanted to live twice in every moment and compensate for the days that they were away and missed each other so much.
That morning, Liam and Lana walked hand in hand together as they strolled in the market by the beach to buy some souvenirs for their families when they got back home. Lana's eyes rounded as she smelled some fresh seafood being cooked nearby.
She quickly pulled Liam to try the delicacies in that area.
Liam watched his wife eat all the seafood being served in a row, particularly the crabs, lobsters and oyster.
"Why do I feel like you've become a glutton? Last time I checked you didn't eat like that," he commented while he helped her peel out crab meat. Since they were together, he noticed her enthusiasm for trying a different kind of food as if she wanted to have a taste of everything.
Lana straightened her back as she grabbed some soda, then replied with a grin, "Hmm. Maybe because I'm no longer busy and not thinking about anything else at the moment but to enjoy this vacation with you. I have never felt so relaxed and happy in my entire life."
Liam shook his head and continued to help her open more crabs.
Soon Lana felt so full and rested her back lazily on the chair. Liam watched her in amusement as she rubbed her full belly.
"Ahh, now I understand my friend May… Food is indeed life." Lana burst as she yawned.
"Do you wanna go back to our room? Let's continue buying stuff later." Liam commented.
Lana yawned once again and said, "Why do I feel so sleepy lately…"
Then her sharp eyes glared at Liam as she mumbled, "it's all your fault that I am having sleepless nights for days."
Liam laughed and teased, "Love, you will automatically feel sleepy whenever you eat a lot. Most people experience such things, you know."
"Right… But I still want to look around. Let's burn the calories we ate and walk a bit more," Lana suggested with a grin.
"Hmm, I know a better way to burn those calories you have just eaten love," Liam, with a meaningful grin, uttered.
Lana's face turned red like a tomato, getting her husband's hint. Liam pulled her up and added, "Look at you blushing prettily, can't you think of not seducing me sometimes. Let's go and walk back to our bedroom and continue buying things later."
Lana and Liam then walked by the beach going back to their hotel.
"After our vacation… We have to prioritize the wedding ceremony first. You see, father and mom are anxiously waiting for it. Well, me as well because I can't wait for the world to know that we are already husband and wife."
Lana nodded as she rested her head on Liam's arm, hugging it as they walked. They could finally announce their relationship to the world. She smiled because she felt everything was smoothly sailing soon.
"What's your plan after? Love, I think it's better if we work under one roof." Liam suggested, also because in that case he could monitor his wife better.
"Yeah… I will think about it after our wedding. Actually, I'm enjoying doing things independently. It's not that long since I started my office independently, so I would like to extend my independent working for a while… Being a freelance lawyer." Lana whispered because she was still undecided.
"Alright, I understand. You balance everything out and I will always support you whatever it is that you decide." Liam murmured.
The couple's conversation as they walked was interrupted by the ringing of Lana's mobile phone.
"When will you come back?" Brione asked from the other side.
Lana smiled and replied, "I'm not sure, but probably next week I will be back. Why?"
"Oh, nothing, just that I thought to remind you about our mother's birthday. Hehe. I told you before that big bro is not on good terms with her, right? But this time he decided to go, for the first time, only if you and the rest will also come…" Brione reminded her.
"Oh, right, I remember, that's next week, isn't it? Oh sure, we will go.Me and Liam…"
"Alright then, I will also call Luo and Miley…" Brione excitedly said. The two talked a little more before the conversation ended.
"Weird. Me and Noah are definitely not friends…" Liam commented when Lana reminded him about Noah's invitation.
"Well, he probably considers you as one since I'm friends with him. I also invited him to our house during my party when I passed the licensure exam. He actually was quite friendly with everyone and even got close with my friends, not to mention the intimate way he talked with your sister and father."
"Yeah, I noticed, but it was mostly Brione who was sociable. Everyone loved her amicable behaviour and friendly attitude that night…" Liam mumbled. He was somehow still not comfortable with Noah.
"Yup, I think that's a grand celebration at their place this time. It's her 60th birthday. Brione has also invited father, Miley, and Jorge." Lana mumbled. Then she suddenly halted? seeing something.
"Why?" Liam asked.
Lana had that bashful smile because she saw a couple and recalled something but was shy to ask her husband.
"What is it?" Liam pondered.
"Can you give me a piggyback ride to the room? I just wanted to know how it feels like, I have seen it countless times in those television serials and even in movies…" She whispered shyly with a blushing face.
Liam grinned because it was so unexpected from the stoic Lana who had no EQ when she met him first. His dear wife, who has now changed so much, rarely requested things like this so he quickly moved in front of her and bent, offering his back saying, "Anytime love… Hop on… I will give you lots of these as long as you want."
Lana excitedly hopped on his back, encircling her arms on her husband's neck and legs on his waist.
"Urg… so heavy…" Liam murmured in a jest.
"What?!" Lana beamed with a twisted face.
Chuckling, Liam said, "Nothing… I said you're so light weighted, my love. It's like I'm carrying nothing…"
Lana buried her face in the crook of his neck and nibbled it, giving him hickeys. Liam groaned in pleasure and he suddenly increased his speed of walking.
"That's your punishment for joking about my weight like that." Lana mumbled, followed by biting his earlobe.
Liam laughed and said, "Maybe I should joke more about your weight, love… So you can nibble and bite me some more. Oh… my wife, when did you become this heavy?"
"……" Lana
