Chapter 294 - A Scandal (1/2)

At Country V

”Are you alright?” Ryu asked Liam.

Liam simply nodded gloomily, without a word from his mouth.

”Are you sure you don't want to drop by and see Lana while we are here? I can arrange a secret meeting between you both if you want...” Ryu commented. They were back in their country for just a short time and they would soon fly back to country V.

Liam exasperated and shook his head and said, ”No, it's best if I don't even try to see her. Yun is all over the city and is tailing my every move since I will be representing him at the trial. One wrong move from us and our efforts will all be in vain. He wants to be sure that I can be trusted.

Moreover, I don't want to compromise Lana's safety. He can use her as a bait for me later on if he found out how much Lana means to me. It's best that he thinks Lana is just one of the pastime women I'm not serious with. He knows about my reputation of not being close to any woman, so he will definitely watch Lana out...”

Ryu nodded and very well understood his cousin's sentiments, but he felt terrible seeing the brokenhearted state of Liam. He patted his shoulder and said, ”Soon this will pass and I'm sure Lana will understand everything when time comes, especially if me and Shawn help in explaining.”

Liam gave him a faint smile and said, ”Yeah, I know that's why I can endure all this because I trust Lana's judgement. She knows me very well. She will be pissed off at first, but I'm sure she will put the puzzles together soon and understand everything, even if I don't explain it to her.”

Oh God, but he was missing his wife so much that controlling himself to run to her right at that moment was testing his endurance capacity and was literally killing him.'

Just to ensure his wife's safety, he was willing to do everything.

They say marriage life was not a bed of roses. Time would make them go through difficulties and to face trials such as this, and Liam could just hope that it would not take too long.

His mobile phone rang and his face became dim seeing it was Yun. He literally cursed him under his breath before answering his call.

”I heard you're back here at country D with your cousins… how about you join me for lunch and let's discuss more about the matters at hand. You will accompany me back to country V later anyway…” Yun said on the other line.

Liam clenched his jaw and replied, ”Sure, no problem. Just tell me the place and I will be there.”

”Good, then… Karen will also join us for lunch. I think she likes you…”

After a little more talking, he finally ended the call.

”What did he say?”

Liam helplessly looked at Ryu and said, ”that filthy woman is going to be with him. Oh God, do I have to endure her touch again?”

Ryu shook his head, seeing Liam's conflicted face. Yun had introduced that woman to Liam and since then the woman was always present during their meetings, flirting with Liam during their stay at country V. Liam could not dare shoo her away and was also acting in such a way that Yun would think he was not serious with just one relationship in his life.
