Chapter 345: Love Changes People

At Noah's Residence.

Luo was washing the dishes when she felt Noah snake his arms around her waist from behind.

"Go sleep… I'll be done soon." She said, inwardly squealing.

Noah rested his chin on her shoulder and said, "How much longer do you plan to punish me?"

Since that night, Luo was depriving him from making love to her by saying that she was not pleased with how he acted in the past and so, she was not in the mood to make love.

She said that they were now husband and wife so whatever he did, it would always reflect on her and the same thing would go for her.

Her actions would also reflect on him, that was why she was being more careful and considerate.

"A week…" Luo simply answered with a grin.

"A week? But that's too much! I have already reflected on my actions and admitted that I was wrong so why does it have to be a week?" Noah complained.

"So that the next time you are more careful with what you do, if you don't want abstinence for a week." Luo firmly stated.

"If I only punish you for a short while like a day or two then you will tend to repeat the same mistake, thinking after just one day you still can get what you want. You see, I lessened the time period already. I initially intended to make it a month." She reiterated, trying hard not to laugh.

It pleased her, seeing her cold and manipulative husband following her wishes and obeying them as her orders, it meant she had a hold of him and could control him in a good way.

Luo finished the dishes with Noah still hugging her from behind. As soon as she was done, she turned around and raised her arms to encircle her hands around his neck.

Frowning, Noah grunted, "I feel like I'll die if you will keep me waiting for that long. I think you are being too mean to your husband."

Luo smiled and said, "okay. I'll reduce the punishment to five days."

"Two days!" Noah bargained.

"No, that would be tomorrow…" Luo said with rounded eyes and gasped.

"Four days… Or else it goes back to a week."

"Okay, deal!" Noah quickly accepted.

"So, I need to wait three more days? Can we at least kiss, please?" He asked.

Luo chuckled and said, "No intimacy except for hugging each other like this. Stop tempting me. You go first, I have to stay up to finish studying for my last case at Sy Law firm."

"You decided to leave? And Liam agreed?' Noah burst out. He was not aware Luo decided already, although she mentioned that she would think about it.

"Yeah… Liam agreed and will support me. He was happy for me and wished me well in my married life. He is a nice man you know and I'm sure you two will get along if only you could give it a try. I told Liam I want to be a housewife for the meantime, to focus on you…

So I will not enter your firm as well. I honestly wanted to take a break and just lay around while I spend my husband's hard-earned money. Can I do that baby?" Luo murmured with a mischievous grin.

"Of course you can do anything you want and spend all the money you want. I already told you that. What's mine is yours… Just make sure you are all mine."

At Sy Mansion.

While the family was talking, Liam took out the time to tell them what Luo said to him that morning about Noah.

"Oh God…" Miley gasped. She could not believe the extent of things the woman, who she would not call a mother, could do just to get her aim.

Senior Sy heaved a long deep sigh. He was glad the topic was changed but then hearing another morbid fact about Carie was not exactly pleasing. He could not believe he blindly fell in love with that woman, and couldn't see her real face for so many years.

"We still are too lucky when compared to Noah since we still have our father who gives all his time, energy and love to us while Noah… he had to become a father to his sister and never had the opportunity to receive this type of love and affection.

What he did is still not right and justified, but somehow knowing this side of his story, I can understand where his feelings come from. Luo at least wanted us not to misunderstand her husband so she told me everything without Noah knowing. She apologized on behalf of her husband.

Yes, we are all not pleased but then, when I tried to put myself in his shoes… Although I'm not sure about it, there's a possibility that I would have done the same as him. Unmask her in front of the people she was hiding amidst…"

"Still son… It would be best to forgive and forget. That way you will be free from resentment. I hope Noah can soon find his light and learn to let go of everything because no matter what happens… past is past… we can't turn time back and change things.

What we have is today and the future… Not only Noah but I am hoping you, my son and Miley will also learn to forgive and forget and live your lives focusing on the present and future.

After what happened, I'm sure Carie will not make a move to try and be in contact with any of us. She wanted to be alone with her love for all those years and I safely suppose she would remain so…" Senior Sy commented with dropped shoulders, and sad eyes.

"I'm working on it already, father… I bet Miley is too. We still have hate towards her but we will not let that resentment affect our lives today and the future that awaits us." Liam reassured his father so he would not get worried.

Liam grabbed Lana's hand and kissed it.

"My only focus now is this beautiful lady beside me and our baby who is yet to be born…" he lovingly said.

"Oh crap… I can't… I just can't watch big bro? being this cheesy in front of us. Since when did you become so cheesy?"

"Since he met his love of course… You silly girl! Why would you ask such obvious questions?" Jorge mumbled, pinching Miley's chin.

"Love changes people… But not all changes are for the better," Senior Sy meaningfully commented.
