The Law of Attraction

Chapter 501: Double Date

Chapter 501: Double Date

Lana and Liam met Luo and Noah directly at the restaurant. The couple were already sitting at the table when they arrived. Lana greeted the two with a cheek to cheek kiss. Then she touched Luo's tummy and commented, "Wow it's become big and more visible now."

"Yeah, I'm almost six months into my pregnancy and by next week we will know the gender of our baby," Luo commented as they sat in their respective seats. It was an open restaurant and they had a great view of the city lights and could smell the pleasing aroma of the sea at night.

"I wish to get pregnant soon," Lana murmured with a sigh.

Luo stared at Liam and beamed, "You heard that? You should work harder."

Liam chuckled and only shook his head. He was already used to Luo's candidness.

"I know right?!" Lana seconded and this time Noah chuckled as he looked at Liam with his teasing grin.

Liam crumpled his face and mumbled, "You asked for this yourself so don't complain later if you will end up not getting any rest at all…"

"Oh, that's more like it!!!" Luo bluntly cheered and Lana chuckled.

"These women. Enough with those talks and let's start eating. Our orders are here…" Noah commented as the waiters served their food on the table.

Lana's mouth started drooling as she looked at the crabs and lobsters. They first washed their hands and started digging in. Liam had a broad smile as he quickly assisted her in peeling it and getting the meat out for her while on the other side of the table it was Luo who was doing the same for Noah since Noah did not know how to do it.

It was a perfect double date dinner filled with waves of laughter and joyful conversation while they were eating and getting themselves full. After the wonderful dinner, the men ordered some drinks including Lana who had some white wine. Luo ordered a fresh fruit drink instead as she was pregnant.

Noah became serious and told Liam the reason he had to see him.

"Oh my God…" Lana could not help but comment while she listened to Noah's narration. That instant she grabbed Liam's hand and gently squeezed it.

Liam turned to her with a faint smile. Lana could sense that Liam still had some anger in his heart towards his mother.

"I just want you guys to know about what's going on with her and I will understand if you wish this information to be the last thing you'll ever hear about her. I will make sure she's well taken care of since she treated my sister well during those times and it's the least I can do for her as gratitude for how well she treated my sister."

"Thank you, Noah. For now, we still need time to think and process it…" Lana answered on Liam's behalf who suddenly became quiet. Lana knew Liam had some conflicted emotions hence he would not be able to comment anything for now. Her Liam needed some more time to sort things out with the matters pertaining to his mother.

Noah understood and Luo was kind enough to quickly change the topic and lighten up the atmosphere.

"By the way, it's almost a month since you came back right? I bet you're already pregnant seeing the way you eat Lana. It's not called eating… You are gorging food down so don't you dare drink that wine yet…" Luo commented.

Lana's eyes widened. She was about to drink the wine but quickly put it down.

"You think so?" Lana asked, excitement suddenly filled in her nerves.

Liam and Noah exchanged looks and both shook their head as they only listened to the two sisters talking while they drank their beer.

Luo nodded and added, "But we can only know after two weeks I guess if your period is delayed. For now, avoid alcoholic drinks."

Lana nodded and with a smile unconsciously touched her belly.

"The wedding will be in two weeks as well right?" Luo asked next, looking at Liam who simply nodded.

"Wow, it will be a double celebration if my hunch is right," Luo added with a bright smile.

Lana shrugged her shoulders and blabbered, "I don't want to expect. Geez, Luo… Maybe I just missed eating seafood. Oh, I will kill you if it turns up NEGATIVE…"

Luo laughed and replied, "Then just work harder in making babies. Try and try until you succeed… not die…"

Lana's face crumpled while the two men chuckled.

"This is nice. We all should hang out like this at least once a month," Liam suggested.

"That would be nice. Noah and I will surely love that. Right baby?" Luo answered, looking at Noah who nodded and smiled.

Soon the couples went their separate ways.

Upon arriving home, Lana quickly cleaned herself up and waited on the bed for Liam to finish washing up himself. She watched him walk towards her and keenly observed his expression.

Liam noticed it so he asked, "Why?"

"Come here," she said as she opened her arms wide. Liam crawled on the bed towards her and rested his head on her chest.

Lana gently stroked his hair and asked, "What did you feel when you heard about your mom, love?"

Liam exhaled loudly and said, "I don't know love, but to be honest I feel conflicted and confused. Deep in my heart, I pity her… I honestly want to see her and by then I can probably seek my heart deeper. I will talk to Miley and father about this tomorrow."

"Yeah, father will know what to do…" Liam added.

"Yeah, but ask yourself too what you want to do love? I know she committed a huge and very unforgivable mistake but…

Grievances against someone are not healthy so it's always better to forgive and let go of our resentment. Let God do his judgment to people who do us wrong even if we ourselves could no longer do anything about it but to bear with it…

That was what my mom would always tell me. To be honest, it's easier said than done…

See how long it took me to do it. I spent a year in seclusion resenting that man, my father, even if he was already dead… I was resenting myself as well because at some point I felt responsible for everything that happened and why it ended like that.

You're a good person. You forgave me despite everything… Your mother is still a part of you no matter what you do. I hope you can find a way to throw all the resentment inside your heart towards her.?I'm sure you will feel better doing so… You can take your time but please don't forget that I'm just always here for you my love..."
