BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172: Eat My Words
Chapter 172: Eat My Words
Liam sat back in his chair and slowly composed himself. He recalled Clyde, Lana\'s gay friend who first realised his feelings towards Lana. The one who gave him a detailed account of Lana\'s emotional state and the guy was really close to her as well.
He was in his own world at that time, so much lost in his thoughts that he did not even give any attention to his two cousins murmuring right in front of him, probably making fun of him too...
All that his brain was busy thinking at that moment was whether or not to crash Lana\'s place at that moment.
Ryu read Liam\'s conflicted expressions and somewhat came to understand what it could be about, so he commented, "Don\'t be too clingy or that woman will feel suffocated…"
Shawn raised a brow when he listened to Ryu and smirked at him saying, "Really…"
Ryu looked at Shawn and was speechless, embarrassed as well because he knew the meaning behind the smirk of Shawn.
Shawn referred to the time Ryu was clinging on to Arya, back when things were not so right between them.
*Cough… *Cough
Ryu cleared his throat when he heard Shawn\'s words.
"Really?" Liam asked.
Ryu didn\'t leave this chance of teasing Liam. He laughed and teased, "Oh, you really have a woman in your life now. I still remember you always used to escape the topic of women and marriage in our yearly reunion, and here you are now, so curious to know how women feel…"
Liam sighed heavily before replying, "I guess you were always right when you said that love always empowers hate. I fell in love and it overpowered my woman hater\'s mentality."
Ryu\'s eyes rounded, and he turned to Shawn. "Do you know how Liam would always tell us to stop mentioning our lovers\' tales, as he felt like vomiting hearing love-struck things from us!"
Liam laughed, hearing what Ryu said. He raised his head to look at Ryu and saw disbelief written all over his face. Then he seconded, "And now you\'re so happy to see me eat my words, like you always said I would have to do."
Ryu nodded and added, "Yeah… Love is indeed the best thing we humans can feel and I\'m happy that you finally have opened your heart to it."
"Alright let\'s talk about love some other time. I might leave after our lunch, so let\'s discuss everything about that underworld prince named Yun that you mentioned Shawn. I\'m sure he will contact me soon in case he will need an excellent lawyer to blackmail and get his work done, and don\'t worry…
I will do my utmost to get Shawn out in this matter. In fact, I am sure that I will be able to bring Shawn out of all this matter and he would not have to make any move to step backwards towards the path that he long abandoned for a good life. No one should dare mess with our family like that." Liam promised with gritted teeth.

At Lana\'s apartment, Clyde gave Lana a teasing look as soon as the call ended.
"Hmmm, your lover boy?"
Lana laughed out hard, but it did not hide the reddening of her cheeks. "Stop that and let\'s eat. I cooked your favorite dishes today." Lana mumbled and pulled Clyde in the dining area.
As usual Lana enjoyed the hearty lunch with Clyde who talked a lot while eating. Mostly it was about the funny experience and encounters he had with his customers.
Lunch finished and Lana was grateful that Clyde did not ask her a lot of things about her relationship progress with Liam. He was aware of her set-up with Liam.
But then she was wrong because as soon as they settled on the couch of her living room, Clyde turned towards her and said, "So tell me. Did the two of you do it already?"
Lana\'s eyes rounded as she exclaimed, ""Hey that\'s too private and sensitive to ask!"
Clyde chuckled while he looked at Lana\'s expressions and movements.
"So you consummate your marriage with him." Clyde stated and grabbed the teapot and put some to his cup and Lana\'s.
"I didn\'t answer you yet so why did you presume we did?" Lana defended with lifted eyebrows.
Clyde chuckled lightly and said, "I know you very well and just by seeing how you reacted I could tell that you are no longer a virgin.."
Lana gulped. She was already used to how tactless Clyde could be, but hearing those words from him made her feel suddenly bashful.
Clyde handed her the cup of tea?and nonchalantly added, "I only hope you two had used contraceptives since you said yourself that the set-up between you both is not permanent…"
Lana almost choked on the tea she just sipped that made Clyde\'s eyes pop out from its socket.
"OMG! Lana, you… Really? Do you want to get pregnant?" he burst in disbelief.
Lana\'s face suddenly paled because it did not cross her mind at all. She was too carried away with that wonderful feeling and his charm that things like pregnancy never ever crossed her mind at all.
Clyde shook his head as he watched Lana sitting with a thoughtful face in front of him with dropped shoulders.
"Tsk… tsk… Give me your phone and I will download an app in which?you can check when is your fertile time. Let\'s see if you\'re fertile during that time you two enjoyed each other\'s arms!" He scolded because he was aware of how Lana was dedicated to her goal and future career. Plus the fact that her relationship with that Attorney Sy was just an agreement.
Unless…
"Tell me truthfully Lana, who is Liam Sy to you, really??? What and how do you actually feel about him?"
Lana was frozen with that question.
\'What is Liam to me?\' she mused. Liam was the most important person in her life right now, apart from her mother.
She looked at Clyde who was intently staring at her and murmured, "I\'m in trouble…"
