Chapter 307 - Salty (1/2)
Liam's heart also ached seeing how his wife was crying. He kissed her cheeks as he wiped her tears, even though Lana was struggling not to let him kiss or touch her.
It was too painful and heartbreaking for him as well. He could see how the impact of his choice pained his wife…
”I'm sorry, love… I'm really sorry, love… Please forgive me.” Liam pleaded as tears ran out of his eyes. He kept on kissing and hugging her, though Lana was constantly struggling. He hugged her tightly as he kept on mumbling the words, ”I'm sorry… I love you…”
Lana was also hitting him on the chest as he hugged her. He knew she was hurt deeply, but as soon as her anger subsided. She cried out loud and hugged Liam as tight as she could.
”I hate you…” she kept on mumbling between her sobbing rubbing her face on his chest feeling his warmth.
Liam could not breathe with a tight hug that Lana had trapped him in. He stroked her back as he whispered, ”It's okay to hate me now… I'm really sorry, but please don't hate me for too long love. I missed you so much and I love you… only you…”
Lana finally released him. Liam cupped her face and wiped the tears on her cheek. Lana narrowed her eyes at him and whispered, ”I really hate you right now…”
”I know…” Liam muttered as he caressed Lana's cheeks. He missed every inch of her, her scent, her warmth and her soft body.
”I promise… After everything is settled, then I will make it up to you…” he whispered.
Lana wanted to kiss him, but she controlled herself because her husband deserved to be punished. Even if she was longing for him… She would not let him have her that easily.
Liam pulled her to sit on the couch. He held her both hands as he faced her.
”Right now… I'm helping my cousins… The Kens. The case I'm working on right now is a very sensitive and complicated one. You see, one wrong move will jeopardize its success. As I've said… What you witnessed before is nothing but a show. I had to do it to ensure your safety. If the enemy found out my connection with you, then your life would be put in danger. You can be a bait for me…” Lana was completely quiet as Liam explained further.
He was very vague with the details of the case he was holding right now, but he confirmed that it had a connection with his cousin Shawn. That winning the case will help his cousin to be freed from his past.
Lana could finally understand everything. She herself might have done the same if she would be in his shoes. Liam was kissing her shoulders now as he kept on apologizing.
”Stop that… It's salty…” she scolded because her skin was salty since she dipped in the sea.
She honestly felt very sticky, so she stood up and looked for the bathroom to take a quick bath. Liam exhaled as he looked at Lana's back. He also stood up and followed Lana inside the bathroom.
She was already n.a.k.e.d, standing under the shower. Liam closed the distance between them and hugged her from behind.
”If you only knew how much I missed you since we parted. How much I have been longing for you during those days we were not together. Each day was a torture without you by my side.” Liam whispered in her ear
