Chapter 260 - Best For Her Not To Know (1/2)

At Huang Mansion.

Liam came out of the bathroom and heard his phone beep. His face became serious as he read Ryu's messages. He also had a few missed calls from him, so he took the phone and went back to the restroom to call him back.

”I understand bro… No, I want to help you both in any condition. Yes, I will be there.” Liam said on the other line.

”I'm really sorry Liam for getting you involved in all this…” Ryu apologized on the other line, and Liam could feel how heavily guilt laden his cousin's voice was. He knew that Ryu did not want him to get involved with the case as much as possible, but sometimes there was no choice with the way we could handle things.

Liam chuckled and said, ”Stop that, bro. Here we go again. You will make me feel bad if you will continue to apologize this way. We are family and you know even you would do the same thing for us, so please remove these burdens from your heart. I'm heartily willing to do this.”

After a little more conversation between Ryu and him, the call then ended.

Liam looked at the bed and knitted his eyebrows when he saw that Lana was not still there. He found her standing outside on their balcony, looking at the night sky.

”Aren't you sleepy yet?” Liam asked as he hugged Lana from behind while he thought of how to put in good words in his wife's ears about him leaving, mainly without her getting worried at the same time.

It was a confidential work that he must do together with his cousins. He did not want Lana to know too much about it or for her to get involved with this, so he wanted to keep certain things from her.

He knew he was the one who said not to keep any secrets from each other, but this time it was different and his decision of disclosing things to her would depend if Lana's safety would be at risk. He knew how brave his wife was, also that she even went to a lot of missions just to help out a friend of hers, but this time he would not let her be in any compromising situation, not under his protection.

He buried his face in her neck as he drowned in her lingering scent.

”Hmm, not yet. Everything just feels so great and perfect.” Lana whispered with a smile as she rested her back on Liam's warm chest. She was feeling so blissful by how perfectly her life was turning out to be. She could not ask for anything more in her life.

Liam then finally mustered his courage to tell Lana about him leaving for some time.

”Love…” Liam started.

”Yes?” Lana hummed.

”I will be gone for a while to settle down some important things. My cousins will be with me. You know them and have met the two of them already. You know that thing about Shawn's problem.”

”Alright. How long will you be gone for?” Lana asked. She was aware of how important the Ken family was to Liam so she would not go against Liam being hands on in assisting and helping them in whatever matter.

”I'm not sure… A month or more, perhaps. As I've said, I'm really close with the Kens and my family owes so much to them, so it's an opportunity for me to repay their kindness in simple things like this. I want to help them with their family problems at this point. Ryu can only trust me pertaining with legal matters and other things about it.” Liam reiterated, hoping Lana would not ponder so much about the matter involving the Kens and what could be their real deal.

Lana moved and turned around to look at her husband. ”Is there something wrong? Maybe I can also help?” Lana asked, looking at her husband's smiling face. Liam was smiling, so Lana thought there was nothing to worry about.
