Chapter 612: If You Still Like Me

At Sy Mansion

"How is Daryl?" Lana asked while she helped Liam remove his necktie. She was aware that Liam had a drink with Daryl and Jorge.

"He needs to resolve his family matters. Hopefully, we can help him once we secure the medical report of his father," Liam said.

"Hmm, how's our baby?" Liam whispered.

Lana pouted her lips and mumbled, "A glutton. Sooner she will turn me into a hog."

"More like a boar to me," Liam jokingly said as he wrapped his arms to Lana's waist.

"You are glowing love. I think our baby is definitely a girl," Liam whispered in her ear followed by a teasing lick.

"Stop this and shower first. The alcohol smell is irritating. I will have you sleep on the couch if you don't remove that smell," Lana mumbled.

Liam released her and immediately rushed to the bathroom. Lana's sense of smell had improved a lot and she turned so picky about it during her pregnancy that she did not even like smelling any perfume on him.

As soon as he finished showering he wore his sleepwear and joined her on the bed. She was watching a movie.

"Love, I smell good now," he whispered as he snuggled with her.

Lana turned and smelled him, whispering, "Let me check." She sniffed him like a dog so Liam mumbled, "It tickles…" when Lana sniffed him on his neck.

Lana stopped then stared at him.

"Why? You still smell something?" Liam whispered.

Lana shook her head and whispered, "I'm hungry."

"You just ate a while ago…" he said with a creased forehead.

"Yeah, but it's our baby, not me. She wants to eat some barbecue," Lana said with a sweet smile.

"Alright give me five minutes…"? Liam said before he went out of their bedroom. Lana watched her husband move back and forth in their room as he set up the grill in the spacious balcony.

After more than five minutes, Liam pulled her to their balcony and let her sit comfortably on the floor while he started grilling.

Lana smiled and waited. She liked that her husband never failed to please her and their baby in simple things, even serving them wholeheartedly.

"Oh this one is already cooked," Liam said and blew on the meat to cool it before he asked her to open her mouth.

Lana quickly ate it. She looked at Liam with her bright and sparkling eyes as she said, "I love you…"

Liam chuckled and pinched her nose.

"What else do you want love?" he asked with a grin.

"More beef please," Lana answered. Her phone rang and Liam answered it.

"Who was it?" Lana asked.

"It was Xander. He said that he sent you the medical reports already," Liam said while looking at the file.

Lana grabbed the tongs from him and continued grilling as she commented, "Wow, Xander is fast. Daryl should have asked for it sooner."

"The man was in a tough situation for days. He hated his father too much so it was really hard for him to make up his mind and finally decide to meddle in his father's life. You see, his father had chosen the mistress and her son over him so he felt betrayed and hurt" Liam explained while he was reading the report and frowned suddenly.

"Why? Is it as Daryl suspected?" Lana asked in curiosity.

Liam shook his head and replied, "I can't understand the report pertaining to medical terms love. I must meet Xander along with Daryl tomorrow and have him explain everything to us in detail."

Lana nodded her head and continued eating."Ahhh," Liam said next after cooling down another piece of beef for Lana.

"If our baby is a girl I will name her after my real name 'Lanabelle'. But what if our baby is a boy? What should we name him then?" Lana asked even though it was still early to know the gender of the baby since she just reached the second trimester of her pregnancy.

"We can't name him after father because Miley said she will name her son after father," Liam muttered.

Lana chuckled recalling how Miley always reminded them that she would be the one to use the name Ram Jr.

"Let's name him after you instead then," Lana suggested with a grin.

"We still have a lot of time to think about it, love. Let's just wait and confirm the gender first. Now, will this much food be enough or do you want me to get more beef?" Liam asked.

"That will do, I'm almost full. Thank you for taking care of me, love. Later I will please you for working hard to take care of me and our baby…" Lana whispered teasingly.

Liam's eyes shimmered as he immediately wrapped things up and excitedly said, "Yeah you need to digest what you eat before sleeping…"

At Chua Mansion

Daryl woke up and heaved a long sigh as he stared at Kenzie's beautiful face. She was in his arms and he did not mind the numbness of his shoulder at all. It was already four in the morning looking at her wall clock. He smiled looking at that beautiful smile on her lips as she slept.

He wanted to stay a bit longer but didn't as it would be too hard for him to control himself. He did not trust his body anymore. He carefully and quietly removed his arm from under her head and released her from his embrace.

Kenzie was in a very tight spot in her company right now and he did not want to distract her at all; however, last night he could not help himself, and the alcohol also gave him the confidence to be with her even if it was for a short while. He knelt in front of her and stared at her sleeping face. He leaned closer and gave her lips a soft and gentle kiss.

"I have to go now… Good luck in the board meeting. I hope everything goes according to your plan and everything gets wrapped up. I will be waiting for you to bug me again, that is if you still like me…" he whispered and this time gave her forehead a loving kiss.

Kenzie moved a bit in her sleep and Daryl stilled, not making any noise. After making sure she was still sleeping soundly, he quietly left her bedroom.

Kenzie opened her eyes when she heard the door close.

She touched her lips and whispered, "Gosh what's with him stealing a kiss from me like that. He better takes full responsibility when I confront him about it!"

Then it was followed by a soft squeal. She was right all along! Daryl definitely liked her and he was just denying it in front of her! She honestly wanted to open her eyes and hug him but controlled herself. She did not want to ruin things by teasing him so she pretended to be asleep.
