The Law of Attraction

Chapter 134: Hand

"Are we going back to the office?" Lana asked while they were inside the car.

"Do you want to?" Liam asked while he looked at his wristwatch. Lana did the same and said, "I still have one hour to complete the duty hours for the day."

Liam chuckled and said, "I wanted to go buy something, but I don't have anyone to accompany me. How about you come with me so we can also eat dinner there after shopping?"

"How about Jorge?" Lana whispered.

"He can't come. My father won't like it if Jorge will not join him at dinner since I'm not at home." Liam replied in his low tone.

"Alright, I'll accompany you, but I'll call mom first…" Lana commented and picked up her mobile phone inside her bag to dial her mother's number.

"Hello mom. I am accompanying Liam to buy something for him and…"

"Don't come home for dinner!" Lana heard her mother instructed.

"What?!" Lana asked with knitted brows.

"I mean, I wanna eat in my room today, so you need not hurry about rushing here and enjoy the night with my son-in-law. Bye." Lana heard her mother added before she heard the end call beep.

Lana shrugged her shoulders. Her mother sounded like a cupid.

She was in deep thought while she looked at the window of the car. The car soon parked inside the most luxurious mall in their country. She smiled because it was owned by the Liu Family, Jeru's family.

She looked at Liam and wondered how he would feel if she would tell him they were going inside the mall of the family she escaped that day with his help by kissing her back fiercely. Her mind again drifted to the way he kissed. His beautiful thin lips and his strong arms that held her while they kissed every time.

'Are you crazy? Why are you thinking only about Liam and his kissing? Really?'

Lana shook her head to remove those thoughts and went out of the car. Liam followed. They went inside the mall and Liam entered a men's boutique to buy something for himself. She only followed Liam and found him standing in front of the tie section.

He kept his finger at his chin and was trying to figure out what he should buy when he turned towards her and asked her to pick him various neckties she thought would look good on his suit.

"You never wear a necktie on your suit but." Lana commented while she picked up some nice matching neckties.

"Yeah, because I felt like I can't breathe wearing it but recently I heard from Jorge that if I wear a tie, then it's a symbol that I'm married." Liam mumbled… He knew it did not make sense…

He unconsciously massaged his nape.

Lana's eyebrows raised as she turned towards him with a few neckties in her hands.

"That's a funny ideology, Liam. Just wear a marriage ring to show off that you are married, wearing a tie to show that you are married doesn't make sense at all.

What I heard about neckties is that women give it to the man they want to get tied with and wives tie a necktie around their husband's neck every morning so that they come back to them every evening after work, tied with their love." Lana grumbled while walking towards him with a few selected neckties.

She handed them over to Liam, who was staring at her deeply with a sweet smile on his face. Liam had a meaningful smile all over his face.

He went to the cashier but looked at Lana and said, "I forgot my wallet in the car."

Lana, who had her purse with her, picked up her wallet inside to pay for the neckties.

"I'll just pay you back later." Liam murmured as they went out of the boutique.

"No need to pay me. It's nothing," Lana replied.

Liam smiled sweetly at her and said, "Thank you for the neckties, I like the gift." and Lana rolled her eyes when she heard that shameless statement from him.

He had nothing to buy at all, but he wanted to go out for some shopping with Lana, just like what a couple normally does. However, he could not ask Lana directly for that so he needed an excuse and nothing came to his mind since he already had everything and needed nothing more to buy from the mall except for a necktie, something he didn't wear at all.

But it seemed the husband in him wanted to wear one every morning now and to get tied down by his woman… his wife.

"It's still early for dinner. The movies I've been waiting for to release are now available on screen. Too bad Jorge is not with me. Do you like watching movies, Lana?" Liam asked as he stopped by the Cinemax.

"Yeah… I can definitely tolerate darkness as long as I'm with someone." Lana commented. Liam suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Let's watch a movie then. I'll never let go of your hand so you will feel secure that you are with someone."

Lana laughed at those lines. She looked at her hand, clasped tightly in Liam's .

"You're getting bolder, Liam," Lana thundered.

Liam ignored her threat and held her hand more firmly, though deep inside he was nervous and afraid if she blew up. Keira said it was okay as long as Lana would not get angry or retract from his boldness.

Liam cursed inwardly. He felt he was crossing the sky on just a thin line like a thread and any imbalance would cause him to trip and die.

"Wow, I like all these movies. I can't choose at all what to watch. Which one do you prefer, Lana?" Liam asked nonchalantly.

"Hmm, I prefer that you let go of my hand right now," Lana whispered.

"Oh, sorry. You mean this? Why? Does your heart flutter and you feel something when I hold your hand? It's just nothing more than simply holding hands. Don't tell me you are feeling something crazy?" Liam asked, raising their hands together.
