Chapter 140: Never Been This Serious

Days passed, and Liam did not bother Lana. He kept a silent distance with her as much as he could, in order to not agitate her anymore and also to give her enough time to sort out her conflicted emotions. He could sense her unease brought about by her logical self torn between her emotions and her mind, and he fully understood her situation.

Lana was fighting a war within herself, a war of her heart trying to walk on a new path and her mind denying to leave the path she had always walked on...

Liam was also feeling positive in his heart because the fact that Lana was acting like that was a good sign for him. It only meant that he had succeeded in slowly penetrating the walls that she had built around herself.

He was engrossed deep in his thoughts when Jorge barged in his office and saw a rather lost look on Liam's face.

"Bro… Are you alright?" Jorge asked, seeing Liam was sitting a little absentmindedly. He even waved his hands in front of his face to get his attention.

"Yeah why?" Liam asked.

Jorge's face twitched as he said, "Miley will join the c.o.c.ktail party later."

Liam nodded before commenting, "She never misses our parties Jorge, not even the biannual outings for the company employees that we have she attends, so you don't have to tell me the obvious."

"Well, I also wanted to talk to you about something about me. Uhm…" Jorge muttered, stuttering. He looked at Lana's direction and noticed she was not there.

"What is it, Jorge?" Liam asked.

"I haven't seen Lana since morning…" Jorge commented.

Liam exhaled loudly and murmured, "She has gone out doing some field work with other interns."

"Lovers quarrel?" Jorge presumed before sitting on Liam's couch. Liam stood up from his seat and walked towards Jorge to sit on the opposite couch.

"What is it that you want to tell me?" Liam casually asked.

"Hmm… I will leave the mansion this weekend to go and live at my father's house." Jorge informed Liam with a smile.

Liam's forehead puckered while he asked, "That's so sudden. Does father know about it already?"

Jorge nodded and replied, "Miley and father… I have told them already. I want to live on my own for now. Besides, I'm also…"

Jorge paused and saw Liam was waiting for him to continue his words so he straightforwardly added, "I want to court Miley so it will be a little awkward and inappropriate for me to live in the same house."

Jorge saw Liam frowned, and he gulped.

'Is he angry?' he mused because it was the opposite reaction of what he expected. He thought Liam would congratulate him for being a brave man finally, so why was he frowning now?

"Are you serious?" Liam growled with his piercing eyes directed towards Jorge.

Jorge never felt intimidated by Liam his whole life until today. He met Liam's piercing gaze and firmly answered it with, "Yes, I've never been this serious my whole life Liam."

"Tell me all your plans." Jorge heard next from Liam, and he knew he was asking about his plans for Miley and his relationship. He had never thought that Liam could be this probing, questioning him so much, more than their father. But then he understood him since Miley was his only sister and the siblings shared a very loving and caring bond.

Jorge told Liam all his plans that he had in his mind for him and Miley while Liam listened to him keenly.

"Bro, don't you trust me? I mean father… did not even ask me any of these things, specifically like you are doing now makes me feel as if you don't trust me for Miley." he complained, feeling Liam was doubting him and that's why he was firing all those questions at him.

Liam was trying his best not to even grin while talking to Jorge and keep a stern and serious face.

'Oh Jorge!' he mused. He was so amused seeing how unsettled Jorge was before him. He was obviously nervous, and Liam had never thought he would see Jorge in this state. His face was pale too. If Miley saw him bullying Jorge to such an extent she would kill him for sure.

Liam was enjoying himself while he asked Jorge a lot of questions, like a lawyer inside a courtroom while Jorge was the one on the stand, answering everything under the oath.

"You do know that you also need my approval before you can marry Miley." Liam added.

"Of course, bro." Jorge quickly answered.

"Good, then… But you must know that I will not consent to your wedding ceremony unless... I do it first…" Liam seriously remarked.

"What?!" Jorge burst out.

"Bro… That's not so fair! What if Lana doesn't want to have a wedding ceremony? I even doubt she will stay in this marriage for very long…" Jorge unconsciously commented. He could feel that the two of them were not in a very good relationship at that point because Lana was behaving aloof and cold from the past few days.

Jorge was aware of Lana's past and her history from her psychiatrist, so he had doubts Lana would stay for a long time in a relationship… even if it was Liam. Plus Lana's personality…

Jorge crumpled his face and complained, "Bro… You know how long I've waited for your sister… Do you want me to wait another century? Not to mention if it might take an entire lifetime..."

Liam's eyebrows arched and said, "Then you have to help me make it happen sooner, Jorge. Make sure Lana accepts me, and the sooner the better…"

Jorge pouted his lips while his shoulders dropped. He was in a dilemma because of Liam's seriousness. He never barged into something he was not dedicated to, so he knew at that point Liam was deadly serious. He would not let him have Miley unless he had Lana tightly chained with him.

'What a cruel brother!' he silently snorted.

Liam could no longer prolong it, seeing Jorge's expression, so he suddenly chuckled.

"Oh, Jorge… I'm really happy that you finally woke up and acted like a genuine man in love." Liam stated with a grin.

Jorge's face crumpled while his mouth twitched. He looked at Liam with narrowed eyes and grumbled, "You… Since when did you learn to mess up with me like that? Are you trying to be funny now? Since when did you change your character?!"

It was the first time Liam played a prank like that on him.

Liam smiled and said, "What? It was so much fun seeing you nervous like that. What mess up are you talking about? My prank was half truth Jorge… I'm serious about not giving my consent to you unless I got to marry Lana first in the public… A real wedding ceremony that she will allow so…"

"You're so cunning!" Jorge mumbled with a crumpled face, and Liam only grinned and shrugged his shoulders at him.
