Chapter 438: Really Complicated

Chapter 438: Really Complicated

The next morning, Lana felt a little sad since there seemed to be no progress. Liam had fully recovered, but he just ate breakfast, gave the usual cold shoulders and to her, and went off to work afterwards.

She was supposed to go to work as well but she did not and instead waited for May and her husband to arrive.

May and Riley soon arrived.

"Oh, you two are no longer staying at Sy mansion?" May commented as Lana led her to the living room for some coffee.

"Liam is staying here so I have to follow him. How are you, Riley?" Lana replied and had a good talk with the couple.

"Where's the door?" Riley asked after finishing his coffee. Lana felt a bit embarrassed, but May only laughed and teased her, "Why are you all red now? I explained everything to Riley already, that you're planning to invade your ex-husband's privacy…"

"He's not my ex-husband! Why do you keep addressing Liam like that?" Lana complained with a pursed lips.

May grinned and said, "Alright, soon to be a husband again?"

Lana ignored her and instead pulled Riley towards Liam's room. She watched while Riley opened his toolbox and did his magic with Liam's door.

"You girls should just go back to the living room and continue with your girl talks. I will soon be done with it," Riley commented with a grin.

May pulled Lana back and asked, "Won't Liam get angry once he finds out?"

Lana dropped her shoulders and murmured, "he won't find out."

Lana then looked at May's stomach and asked, "Do you already know the gender?"

May smiled as she caressed her belly. She was five months pregnant with her second baby already.

"We will know, next week. We have to leave as soon as Riley is done." May commented.

"Why in a rush? You're lucky you have someone you can trust with Mari." Lana mumbled pertaining to May's first child. May laughed and nodded because she could comfortably leave Mari to Keira, which she did often, whenever she needed to leave and Riley would not be around as well.

"You should also move out and live somewhere near Keira. That's a benefit when we have houses nearby. All our babies are basically growing up together like how we did when we were kids. Oh, I can't wait to see you get pregnant again.

Anyway, I will also support you like Keira that's why I brought Riley here. Make sure you seduce Liam back and this time make more babies now that your life is no longer in danger." May remarked.

"Yeah, I will. I've been left behind. You guys have so many children while I still don't have any. I almost had one, I lost my baby because of that man…" Lana commented with a string of pain in her heart recalling that tragic day.

May grabbed Lana's hand and gently squeezed it.

"Don't worry. We are not in a race you know… You will soon have a baby again. I will pray that you succeed in winning Liam back soon and have more babies to come your way." May consoled.

The two chatted some more in the living room as they waited. Soon Riley came back to the living room and handed Lana a key and something else that looked like a small gadget.

"Here use these both… This is for the lock and this one for the latch inside in case he will also use that." Riley commented and Lana tried it out.

"Oh, you're really great with locks. Thanks, Riley…" Lana beamed.

"Alright, our business here is done. Visit us at our house, Lana, whenever you're free. We will leave now." May said and Lana walked the couple out to the parking lot.

Inside the car, Riley started the engine but did not step on the gas yet. He looked at May and said, "How come Lana needs to unlock the door when Liam did not even lock it when he's gone. It was open when we arrived. What's going on?"

May laughed and said, "Well Liam locked it at night."

Riley's forehead crumpled as he whispered, "Just doesn't make sense at all, you know? Why lock it at night and not lock during the day?"

May rolled her eyes and said, He locks it at night so Lana would not barge inside during he sleeps."

"And why?"

May helplessly looked at her husband and beamed, "Just drive okay? I thought you're not interested in girl talk so why are you asking now, huh?"

Riley scratched his head and meekly muttered, "Alright… Just that it's weird. Why would a man lock his door? I'm sure Liam would want it open so Lana can barge inside anytime she wants. They are living together anyways. Ahh, whatever… Their relationship is too complicated to even bother to get curious about…"

May grinned because she was sure her husband was indeed too curious to find out. She only told him about Lana and Liam's one-year separation but not in much detail. So she started narrating what happened.

"Oh, that's really complicated. I hope Lana succeeds. Those two are a perfect pair and it will be really sad if they both end up hurting each other with what happened in the past." Riley whispered and May nodded in agreement. But she never thought Lana could go to that kind of extent to win Liam back. She was utterly surprised because Lana was a proud woman.

"I guess Lana deeply loves Liam, seeing that she is willing to blend with the situation just to be with him again," May whispered.

Meanwhile, back at Liam's apartment, Lana prepared herself to go to the office.

"Good morning madam…" her secretary greeted her. Not long after she was seated on her chair, Kyle went inside her office with her favorite coffee.

"Coffee, Boss," he said with a smile as he put it on Lana's desk.

Lana smiled and said, "Thank's Kyle. How's work so far?"

He comfortably sat on the chair in front of Lana and replied, "Boring so far, Boss…"

Lana laughed because she could relate.

"Do you wanna quit early? I saw this coming. You will surely miss the fieldwork…" Lana said with a grin.

"Yeah. But let me see first if it will bore me to death."

Lana's secretary went inside, interrupting their talk to hand her an invitation for an event next week.

"Madame, should I confirm your attendance?" the secretary asked.

Lana looked at it and said, "Alright, I will attend this dinner party Loli."

Kyle looked at the invitation and his face suddenly darkened.
