Extra Patience

Lana suddenly felt guilty, seeing Liam's sullen mood. She sneakily looked at her mother who was busy watching the morning news and whispered to Liam, "My close friends are coming today and they might be here very soon. They are not yet aware of our marriage. If they find out I have a man in my life, they will kill me with their incessant teasing…"

She could still recall how she had to explain everything to Keira because Jeru's wife accidentally spilled the story of her kissing incident to Keira when they met in the event where descendants of the infamous 'untouchable lovers' from their history gathered yearly.

"Are you somehow ashamed of me?" Lana heard the downcasted tone in Liam's voice.

"Of course not!" Lana quickly defended. Liam then smiled and said, "Then I would also love to meet them all… The people who are so close to you. Don't worry, their teasing will surely not kill you."
