Chapter 436: My Eyes From You
Evening came and Liam felt much better and he could walk already. He came out of the room because he was tired of resting all day. Lana was startled seeing him sitting on the chair at the kitchen counter.
"What are you cooking?" Liam asked.
"Beef bone soup and some vegetables.. You need this kind of food to feel better." Lana commented with crossed eyebrows as she asked, "How are you feeling? Why walk here when I can bring your dinner to the bedroom."
"I'm feeling much better. I feel sicker staying in the bedroom for too long." Liam commented.
'I can not stay in too long if you're not with me on my bed.' Liam added in the back of his head.
Lana smiled and said, "Go wait in the dining room then and I will serve the dinner soon." She was grinning while watching Liam's back. She was too pleased seeing that Liam followed her without making a fuss.
She immediately served dinner and watched Liam eat his food.
Liam felt uneasy though, having Lana staring at him. His face turned red and he kept blushing.
"Stop staring at me and eat instead. Aren't you hungry at all?" Liam could not help but comment.
Lana smiled brightly and shook her head as she replied, "I feel full just watching you eat heartily.."
Liam coughed, Lana's unexpected sweet words almost made him choke. He was not sure if he would ever get used to her throwing those lines at him like that.
Lana was quick to move beside him, she carefully caressed and stroked his back. After a while, she handed him a glass of water and said, "Just eat slowly.."
"Please eat. You're making me uncomfortable." Liam whispered.
Lana chuckled and stood up to get back on her seat in front of Liam.
"Why are you feeling uncomfortable? I'm just staring because you look adorable when you eat." Lana teased him some more as she started eating as well. She was enjoying the view, seeing Liam blushing.
Liam swallowed the last meat piece and looked at Lana intently then with knitted brows, "Stop doing it!"
"What? It's not my fault you know.. It's your fault that I'm staring.." Lana nonchalantly commented.
"And why is that my fault?!" Liam snarled.
Lana heaved a sigh as she cupped her face with both palms and with her elbows on the table. She gazed at him intently and said, "It's your fault for being too handsome and sexy that I can barely take off my eyes from you."
Liam was breathless.. That was totally unexpected, his lips parted in awe.
'What had happened to his Lana?' he mused in horror. He did not even know how to counter her and to escape the embarrassment, he ended up drinking a glass of water in one gulp to calm all his nerves and most especially his heart that was banging up his chest with his tremendously hard beating.
He was also inwardly cursing himself for acting so weird. It was a struggle to act like a tough guy who was not affected by her charm. He was like a teenage boy most of the time in front of this shameless Lana. If he continued being like this then it would be game over in teaching Lana a lesson. She must already be thinking that it was too easy to just break his heart and go back to him whenever she wanted.
'No! Even though she has her reasons and it's understandable, it should not be enough to leave you for a year without even informing you if she is still breathing!' he inwardly reasoned.
"It's uncomfortable when you act like that. It's too immature.." Liam mumbled with a straight face.
"What?! Immature?" Lana beamed with rounded eyes, utterly surprised how the aura of Liam had easily changed.
"Is admiring someone and expressing it immaturity now?!" Lana scoffed with lifted eyebrows.
'That's more like her..' Liam inwardly sighed. Somehow he was also missing Lana's fierce and fighting spirit. Her being meek and shameless was also good, but really scary at the same time.
He swore he saw Lana's nostrils flaring a while ago, but somehow that had quickly been replaced by a wide smile, and that extremely terrified him.
"In that case.. Expect me to get immature a lot since I will definitely express myself a lot from now on especially about how much I adore you.." Lana said without even blinking at him,?making Liam stand up and say, "Thank you for the dinner. I will rest now."
Lana scoffed with amusement as she watched Liam leave.
"Look at him, isn't he the one acting immature between us both?" Lana whispered as she continued eating her food. She looked at Liam's plate and smiled. It was all clean. She was glad he enjoyed her cooking.
She then sighed, Liam was acting like unpredictable weather, sometimes it was sunny, so hot.. Then rainy.. cold.
A playful smile crept up on her beautiful smile as she whispered, "I think I did enough of complimenting him to disturb his peace tonight. Maybe I should not crawl into his bedroom tonight since he's feeling a lot better."
Lana forked the cut melons for desserts and whispered, "Crawl in his bed.."
Then forked another and whispered, "or not.."
"Crawl or not.."
She kept saying those words alternately whenever she would swallow melons cut into small pieces. She was feeling too undecided..
historical
She was thinking if she would make Liam miss her for a night somehow.. or use any available alibis to sleep beside him and possibly seduce him again for another lovemaking session..
Her face crumpled as she suddenly scorned, "It's more like baby-making at this rate.."
She shook her head as she pictured Luo scolding her and saying, 'Seize every opportunity. Make love to him whenever you can and give him a baby, that will shorten the process of struggling for both of you.'
There were two more squares of the melon that Lana forked in one go and mumbled, "Crawl!" before she put it all inside her mouth and chewed.
She quickly cleaned up the table and then proceeded to clean herself afterward and freshened up before going inside Liam's bedroom later.
"Gosh.. I can't believe I'm nailing this kind of shamelessness at this point.." Lana could not help but mumble to herself in disbelief.
