The Law of Attraction

Chapter 251: Nice People End Up Getting Fooled Easily

At Sy Mansion, Liam shook his head as he watched his wife, who was very excited and too busy on her mobile phone answering and also making a lot of phone calls. He could see the stars on his wife's smile as she talked and invited her closest friends and people she liked for tonight's dinner.

He came back home from the office as soon as he saw the results were out. He was so proud when he saw that Lana had topped the exams and was already famous as an upcoming successful lawyer in the city. He wanted to organize a big party for her, but his mother-in-law insisted that she would handle it. Because of his excitement to be with her, he also forgot to buy anything for her.

"Don't you still have work?" Lana asked as she finished calling everyone she wanted to invite for that night's small gathering. She had a playful smile on her face as she walked towards her husband who was sitting on their couch inside their room enjoying his favourite tea.

"I won't go back now and take the day off to celebrate your success with you…" Liam mumbled with a grin.

Lana chuckled and sat on his lap while she whispered, "Where's my present for such an excellent result? You even made me stay away from you in order to make me work hard and get good results to make a name for you, you must give me something very special as a gift to compensate."

Liam gulped and massaged his nape, but the ringing of his mobile phone saved him. As soon as the call ended, he pulled Lana out of the house with him that instant.

"Where are we going?" Lana asked while they were inside the car.

"To give you your present…" Liam answered with a grin.

Lana suddenly felt so excited and asked, "What is it?"

Liam chuckled and said, "It's a secret…"

Lana pouted her lips and restlessly waited until Liam stopped the car into the parking lot of a busy market area.

Liam quickly opened the door for her and held her hand.

"Let's walk here or a while," she heard Liam say while he swayed her hand as they walked.

They were at the part of the capital city that was one of the busiest places and where people were so busy walking at the sidewalks. There were a lot of establishments there as well. Lana wondered what could be Liam's present since they were not near any exclusive malls to buy one?

Then Liam suddenly stopped at a particular place and looked with his eyebrows arched at her, giving her a big smile and a meaningful look. Lana finally grasped the situation as she mumbled, "Oh my God…"

"Surprise…" Liam whispered in her ear as he hugged her from behind.

"A freelance lawyer deserves her own office in the busiest area in the city, far from big law firms like us. I'm sure you will attract a lot of clients within this place, Attorney Lana Huang Sy. How about you tour your husband inside your office?"

Lana excitedly nodded and immediately went inside and saw everything was already perfectly arranged there for her. Even her name plate was placed there, her name beautifully carved in her favourite font perfectly in glass, on her table.

"Attorney Lana Huang?" she mumbled in question.

"Yeah… I thought you would like to use your family's name first as a starting lawyer before our wedding goes public." Liam explained.

"But won't I have gained more clients if I started using your surname?" Lana said in a jest.

"You can do that too, and do whatever you want, love. I will always back you up and support you forever." Liam answered and was about to say more, but Lana sealed his lips with a breathtaking kiss.

"Thank you for everything, love. I love you so much!" Lana whispered after the kiss. It was the first time she called him love as well because she was not used with endearments.

Liam's eyes widened, followed by a broad smile.

"Don't you dare tease me!" Lana warned with a chuckle.

The evening soon fell and the small group of people started gathering at the Huang Mansion to celebrate Lana's success. She had only invited a few people who knew her relationship with Liam at Sy law firm like Daryl and secretary Mian and her assistant Dona. Of course, all her close friends like Keira, Drey and May were also present together with their spouses and children. Clyde was there too.

"Oh, my God! Is that Brione?" Clyde burst as he saw the superstar walking towards Lana, who was standing beside him at that moment.

"And that man with her! Oh, my so many gorgeous men tonight Lana and I hope this one is not taken!" he burst pertaining to Noah.

Liam, who heard that, made a ranting cough, hearing his words. Clyde looked at Liam with a smile and said with a wink, "Don't worry… You're still the best in my eyes when compared to him! But then you're taken, so any bachelor tonight would be better than you in my eyes!"

Lana laughed at that because Clyde was complaining to her about how there was only one bachelor in that party and it was Daryl, who was busy talking to Luo and did not even leave the woman's side for a single minute.

Lana walked to welcome Brione, who quickly hugged her.

"Oh God! I knew it! You will do great in the exams. Gosh! A topnotcher in the exam and yet you said you had a hard time writing that exam?!" Brione beamed in excitement. She was too happy to hear Lana topped the exam.

Lana's face blushed as she guided the two towards everyone to introduce the siblings as well as have them seated on their table for dinner.

Noah kept sneaking glances at Liam's father every now and then, with a conflicted emotion in his eyes.

"They are all nice, right? Liam's family and Lana's…" Brione commented.

"Nice people often end up getting fooled easily…" Noah mumbled.

"Geez, stop being serious and let's just enjoy tonight and celebrate with Lana." Brione scolded her brother.
