Lana occasionally kept giving Liam sneak glances while they were eating. He was quiet and highly focused on eating his food, like he was starved for days.
"Didn't they serve you proper meals during the wake?" Lana mumbled.
"They did but the food there didn't taste good at all, nothing comparable with the one you cooked. Your mom was right. You're definitely too good at cooking. Everything is so delicious that I wish I could eat all my meals cooked by you," Liam complimented and Lana unconsciously blushed.
"By the way, are you going to punish me so severely that we even have to doc.u.ment it?" Lana asked next.
"Yeah, you deserve severe punishments for all that you did today. You also said that you're willing to take the punishment on behalf of Daryl as well, so now you have double punishments to take and I have to doc.u.ment everything properly to make sure it's clear and you won't be able to go back on your words." Liam stated before forking the cut meat and chewing it.
Lana rolled her eyes and clarified, "Liam Sy! What do you take me for? I never go back on my words! We don't need to sign any papers to give you an assurance of my compliance. I'm a woman of my words!" Lana clarified.
"Let's finish eating first and discuss it later over a cup of tea outside at your swing bench alright?" Liam suggested before reaching to the bowl of vegetables in another serving bowl.
'Does he plan to stay longer here? Isn't he going to leave after dinner? Can't we discuss some terms while eating now?' Lana mumbled inside her head, shaking her head while staring at how Liam ate like a glutton.
She shook his head and cut more beef for him and said, "Here… You should cut it smaller. It's then easier to chew and digest. Slow down a little, will you? You'll get indigestion if you eat like that without properly chewing."
The glowing appreciation on Liam's face shone so brightly that Lana unconsciously stared at his good-looking face once again. Liam noticed her gaze so with a bubbly voice he teased, "I must be looking really handsome today, that's why I often caught you staring or sneaking glances at me."
Lana almost spat the water out from her mouth, but managed to gulp it quickly. She coughed abruptly and gave Liam her sharpest, deadly stare.
Liam shrugged his shoulders and continued eating his meal with a grin. Lana's angry face still looked cute in his eyes.
'Such a cute annoyed tigress.' Liam mused fondly while fressing every dish on the table cooked by Lana. That day Lana realised Liam was such a foodie, and she would probably regret cooking such a delicious meal for him all her life!
After dinner Liam looked at Lana and said, "Thanks for such delicious food. I loved every dish you cooked. Let's go out and sit on the porch, I like sitting on your porch swing. I'll wait for you there. Please bring some tea."
Lana's jaw dropped, He ordered her as if he was the master of the house and she was serving him. Such an uncouth behaviour.
'Was he not supposed to go back to his house now?' Lana cursed, watching Liam leave the dining room and heading towards the porch unreservedly.
"Are we in his office for him to boss me around like that? He's sure taking advantage of me at this moment!" Lana complained while she stood up to quickly clean up the table.
If not for her mistake today, she would not let that glutton boss her around. She immediately prepared some tea.
Liam smiled while reading what he wrote in the paper. Soon he heard footsteps approaching.
Lana walked out of her house to join Liam on her bench swing.
Her face twisted while she murmured, "Look at how comfortable he is like he's sitting for evening tea in his own house."
"Here… Drink the tea while it's warm." Lana said while she handed a cup of tea to Liam
"Thanks." Liam whispered. Lana sat beside him.
"You have a nice view in here." Liam remarked while looking at the nice sky.
"I know right, that's why I put this comfortable porch swing here," Lana commented with a smile. Liam nodded because Lana's bench was accessorized with fluffy cushions such that one could even sleep or take a nap there.
But to be honest, he liked it there because Lana's exotic scent was lingering on the entire swing and the cushions there.
"I often spend my time here, I love taking a nap here or sitting here while studying case files rather than in my living room." Lana commented. She preferred an open space rather than being in a close space.

"I had claustrophobia when I was a child, I was very traumatized by closed rooms or even lifts, so I always wanted an open space…" Lana unconsciously commented.
Liam was surprised that Lana opened up to him about her childhood traumas like that, but he was grateful she did.
"Have you been able to overcome it?" Liam asked while he drank his tea.
"Yeah, I guess. Mom did everything she could for me to overcome the trauma. Plus, growing up with my adorable friends helped." Lana muttered.
"By the way, what did you write there?" Lana asked, quickly changing the topic when she realized she was unknowingly telling Liam one of her secrets again.
"Oh this, here… It needs your signature." Liam casually said and handed the paper to Lana.
He wanted to ask Lana a little more about her phobia and how she gained it, but Liam knew she wouldn't like him asking about her secrets. Moreover, he believed that it would be best to let Lana open up to him gradually whenever she felt like doing so now.
"What is this? You did not specify the kind of favor you want from me. It's too broad. I, Lana Huang, agreed to grant Liam Sy three wishes? So your punishment is I should agree to obey your three orders? I mean, what kind of punishment is that? And what orders or wishes would you ask for? Why don't you specify anything?" Lana mumbled with knitted eyebrows.
Hearing her words, Liam felt very upset and so he suddenly turned serious.
"Do you trust me, Lana?" Liam asked with a serious gaze and tone.
Lana was a little stunned with his sudden change of tone, so she softly spoke, "Yes, I do, but why can't you be specific… I'm not a magic lamp, you know!"
Lana's sweet mumbling voice made Liam burst out laughing. A roaring crispy laugh escaped from him.

"Hahahahaha!"
Lana gawked at him. That was such a rare sight to see and how she regretted not having her mobile in her hands at that moment.
"Right now I can't think of any punishment appropriate for you, except asking for just three wishes as and when I ask you to do something, so treat yourself as my genie and when time will come for me to ask those wishes, then you must fulfill." Liam said, still grinning.
"But what if you ask something that I can't fulfill?" Lana countered with a crumpled face.
"Hmm, what are the things you can't fulfill Lana? I told you I will not force you into anything so ease your mind will you." Liam reassured with a smile.
Lana knew she had no choice and that she wouldn't be able to win against that crafty lawyer. She reluctantly signed that paper and said, "Here… Keep this."
