At Sy Mansion

  "That's good news then!" Miley burst happily during the dinner when Liam announced the news about Lana's father. But she immediately zipped her mouth tight after her father signalled her to not be so obvious since the man who died was still Lana's biological father.

  Miley scratched her head embarrassedly. She did not know whether she had to be happy celebrating on the news or convey her condolences for Lana's father. It was an awkward moment since she did not know the right expression to give. She then decided to give a safe neutral one… a blank expression like the others.

  After that, Lana dismissed the security for her mother since she thought her mother would no longer need it. Days passed by and they were all back to normal.

  "Hey, I thought we are going out?" Lana asked Luo on the other line. Liam was too busy with endless meetings so she was left alone in the office. Luo no longer stayed in the office since the case was already solved and Lana was missing her. She was too fond of her because she was someone you would never feel bored with.

  Luo chuckled from the other line and said, "Okay, let's have lunch later. I will pick you up at the office. I'll be there in an hour."

  After an hour, Luo arrived to pick up Lana.

  "How does it feel to be free again, huh?" Luo teased as she drove at one of the restaurants Lana wanted to have lunch with her.

  Lana opened Luo's window and she felt the cold air. It was almost winter and the snow seems to be about to fall down sooner. The weather was so cold already.

  "Yeah, it feels great…" she answered with a smile.

  "Are you still staying with your parents?" Lana asked because Luo told her about the issue she had been through with?her husband.

  "Yup. Let that brute wait for more than a week. He deserves it for being insensitive. Until now, he's not even mentioning the topic. Should I be the one to say it to his face? How insensitive he could be?" Luo beamed with an annoyed tone.

  Lana chuckled and said, "Well, he will realize that sooner or later if you stay away from that long. Soon, he will surely realize what it is you've been sulking about."

  "We'll see about that. I doubt it though… I think I have to say it tohis face." Luo mumbled irritably.

  Lana shook her head and said, "I thought you will give him more time like a month?"

  "Yeah, but still… I feel so disappointed that I want to punish him like this. I mean, we are building a family so a child should be expected soon. Anyway, I understand him but I want to throw tantrums for now since I'm still not feeling better." Luo mumbled with pouty lips.

  "Alright……Do what you want, now. Let's go to an arcade after lunch, okay?" Lana replied with a grin or else Luo would go on circles again on her hurt feelings about her husband and her dilemma whether to extend her punishment more or not. She was too undecided…


  They soon arrived at the restaurant and as usual with Lana's big appetite due to her pregnancy, she finished everything and she even had some of Luo's food.

  "What the heck? You're such a glutton!" Luo burst as she watched Lana finished all the food on the table, especially the lobster.

  Lana chuckled and drank her fresh fruit juice first before she answered, "It's not me, my baby is the glutton one, haha."

  Then Lana caressed her tummy with a wide smile and said, "Right, baby?"

  Luo shook her head as she enjoyed the mother talking to her belly as if her baby could hear her already. She heard it would take five to six months before they could know the gender of the baby. Lana's tummy was still small since she was just at around fifteen weeks of pregnancy.

  "Look at your auntie Luo's face. She looks so jealous right now that I bet she will extend her punishment to her husband for another more week." Lana teased while exchanging looks at her belly and Luo.

  Luo twitched her face and babbled, "Is that your answer? Whenever I ask you about it, you will just say it's up to me to decide. So if you were me, you will extend it more?"

  Lana grinned and said, "It's up to you, my friend."

  Luo rolled her eyes and finished drinking her soda instead. She was indeed jealous since she was anticipating that motherhood part in her life. Luo did not use protection the last time they did it when he came the first time to join for breakfast since he was aware that she was no longer fertile that day.

  "Let's go?" Lana commented after some time because she was too excited to play that machine already. Liam was too busy on so many important things so she did not want to disturb him. Good thing she could pull Luo anytime and anywhere, she could rely on Lou since she was always available.

  "Don't you miss debating inside the court?" Lana asked while they were in line to buy some coins.

  "Well, I do… Maybe I should go back to work instead since my husband seems to have different plans for us."

  Lana put her arms on Luo's shoulders and said, "Stop being mad already and let's enjoy the game instead."

  The two soon started but none of them got any toys from the machine. Both felt irritated and they showed disappointed expressions.

  "We need more tokens," Lana mumbled.

  "But we already spend too much on it," Luo whispered.

  Lana squinted her eyes on her and said, "You said you're good at this?"

  Luo scratched her head and murmured, "Well, when I'm at junior high this is just nothing. I can get as many toys as I could. Hmm, maybe they improved the machine and made it harder to beat…"

  Lana lifted her eyes at Luo whose eyes rounded as she defended, "That's true, I'm good at this."

  The two's debate was interrupted by a boy who offered some help, "Hay, sisters… Let me do it and help you two……"
