The next morning, Luo excitedly contacted Liam and asked to see him in his office. She brought some cold drinks with her since she heard Lana had grown to love milk teas nowadays.

  "Good morning…" Luo greeted the couple who was sitting on the couch with the center table filled with paperwork as she entered.

  "Oh…" Lana stood up to hug her. She was very happy to see Luo there.

  "Here." Luo handed her the milk tea and Lana quickly started sipping it.

  "I'm here to help you guys. Staying at home is so boring." Luo commented as she sat beside Lana.

  Liam's eyebrows lifted as he asked, "Does your husband know about this?"

  "Of course, and he agreed. My husband is kind, you know. He just wanted me to promise to him that I'll stop if it turns out to be dangerous so I will use my brain more in helping you out while staying indoors though I would love to participate in the fieldwork and go outside, but then I'm an obedient wife." Luo declared with a smirk.

  Liam laughed, then he looked at Lana and said, "Did you hear that, love? You should ask Luo for advice on how to be an obedient wife…"

  Lana only shrugged her shoulders. She was too busy drinking her milk tea to care.

  Luo shook her head and laughed, watching that scene. She could not help but hope that she got pregnant soon as well.

  Liam exhaled and said, "Alright, I will not reject your generosity Luo because right now we are still at a loss. I'm still not convinced that we should close this file, even though the culprit surrendered. Something doesn't sit right with me…"

  Luo nodded and quickly caught on to Liam's point. It was his wife and baby's security they were talking about, so she agreed they should double-check everything.

  "It says here that Rio Tang was supporting an orphanage? How about checking that out? I don't know, but maybe we can look around and you know… see if there's something unusual?" Luo commented.

  Liam looked at the paper Luo was holding and said, "Yes, you're right I was so busy in clearing everything out that day that I didn't pay attention and missed this simple detail. I will immediately instruct Daryl to check every organization Rio Tang supported…"

  Liam went out with Daryl so Luo and Lana were left alone inside the office, going over various reports and documents.

  Lana yawned and lazily stretched her arms.

  "Why don't you rest and I'll handle this," Luo suggested with a smile.

  Lana shook her head and said, "Nah, I'm good. This yawning has become a habit ever since I got pregnant. So tell me, how is your relationship with Noah going?"

  She was curious about how Luo's relationship progressed because last time they talked, Luo was too determined to make Noah fall for her.

  Luo's face reddened and watching her smile, Lana could tell that they were progressing in their relationship quite well.

  "I guess you are doing great, seeing how you are blushing right now." Lana teased and Luo only chuckled.

  "Do you think we can all go out and have some fun together after solving this case? I honestly want Liam and Noah to be on good terms with each other, Lana." Luo suggested.

  Lana nodded because she had the same heart for Liam as Luo had for her husband.

  "That's actually what I wanted to say, too. Those two had to go through a hard time… And I hope they become good friends. And my husband honestly understands Noah after you told him everything.

  To be honest, everyone in the family understands and none of us is mad at Noah because we can fully understand Noah's feelings." Lana informed her so that Luo could be at ease about that matter.

  Luo heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "That's really good. Please tell them I'm thankful for their understanding of the situation."

  "Oh, I should have told you about this sooner, but I was too occupied." Lana apologized and Luo winked at her, saying, "No worries dear. Liam actually told me about his feelings on the same day. I knew his take on the matter soon after I told him everything, so that same day I was already at ease knowing Liam would relay the same thing to the whole family."

  Lana nodded and said, "I wonder if those two really are happy from inside…"

  Luo shrugged her shoulders and casually commented, "I'm hoping they are not. Well, I know it sounds wrong, but that's what my heart is really feeling right now. Because I honestly believe that those two don't deserve to be happy."

  She was still unsatisfied and could not help but vented out, "Seriously, they should feel guilty and reflect on what they did to both the families. I mean, they both had children. How could they even think about fighting for their love after they got married and had different families? Should they have done that? Really, I mean, why not do it before they got married to some other person? Did they have to wait to have children and abandon them later?"

  "Do you have any news about her?" Lana asked of curiosity.

  "Hmm, last time I talked to Brione, she told me that she alienated her and her father as well since she said that if there is someone to blame, it's solely her father who made the awful choice. If her father did not choose Marlyn or fought for her back then, no one would have been hurt.

  Brione felt so hurt that she's even ashamed to face her brother at this point. As she is ashamed now that she always used to side with that woman and her father. She said she was not able to get rid of the shame that she always scolded Noah a lot for insulting that selfish woman, and now she's really ashamed for behaving like that with her brother.

  Even though I have tried to explain to her…… tried to convince and bring her out of her guilt as she was not aware of anything, she is still living in guilt of misunderstanding her brother and siding with that selfish pair. I think Brione still needs some more time, but I hope soon she will get back to her normal self, come along and bug her brother again soon as she used to…


  I also heard that her father and that woman will soon leave the country, and I think that will be their best choice since they love each other only, so they should leave and be together like they were before. Those two are a perfect match since they are both selfish." Luo narrated with a twitched mouth.

  Luo also disliked Noah's father and that woman because for her, love can not be an excuse for you to hurt a lot of people. Their kind of love was just too toxic and poisonous.

  Lana sighed and said, "Yeah, it's just too sad." She unconsciously touched her belly. She too would soon become a mother and she would do her best to be a good one, someone like her mother who loved and cared for her unconditionally.
