Chapter 27

"Mommy....!" Cassandra exclaimed happily as she ran over to her mom.

"Don't You know you are a big girl now? You should stop being childish" Amelia scolded.

"I just missed you so much..." Cassandra replied.

"Miss You too my love... But stop being childish ok?" Amelia said.

"The last time I checked I'm still a child" Cassandra replied and her dad cleared his throat.

"How can a child have a boyfriend" Mr. Vincent said playfully.

"Huh?... Cassandra has a boyfriend?" Amelia asked with her eyes almost bulging out from their sockets.

"No mom... He's not my boyfriend" Cassandra tried to defend herself.

"Then why are you tensed up?" Amelia asked.

"I'm not tensed up" Cassandra replied.

"What's his name?" Amelia asked.

"Ahhhhm... Liam, yes Liam. That's his name" Mr. Vincent said.

"Mom, dad, I need to rest I'm so tired...." Cassandra said while running to her room to avoid further interrogation.

"Cassandra has a boyfriend?" Amelia asked in disbelief.

"Well I noticed some chemistry there... But she won't just admit it" Mr. Vincent replied.

"I'm glad she is finally behaving like a teenager. She needs our support" Amelia said.

"Wow... I never expected the great lioness to be cool about it." Mr. Vincent replied.

"What nonsense..." Amelia said hitting her husband playfully.

.....

Liam lied down in his room wondering why a person you call friend can betray you. He felt so angry. "Robert... You are disgusting" Liam said gritting his teeth. Then something popped into his head.

"No way... How could I forget to call her?" He said while dialing Cassandra's phone number.

"Hey...." Cassandra said with a sleepy voice as soon as she picked up the call.

"Sleeping?" Liam asked.

"Yeah... But not anymore" Cassandra replied.

"Sorry for disrupting your sleep" Liam apologized.

"It's ok" Cassandra replied.

"So... How is my father in-law?" Liam asked.

Cassandra :"....."

"Guess I am going to have the best father in-law" Liam said.

"Father in-law....?" Cassandra asked.

"Yes..." Liam replied.

"Oh wow... So you are already thinking of getting married?" Cassandra asked.

"Of course" Liam replied.

"How old are you?" Cassandra asked.

"18" Liam replied and Cassandra laughed.

"So at 18 somebody is already thinking of getting married" Cassandra said with a sarcastic tune.

"Yes, yes... Planning the future ahead" Liam replied with a serious tune.

"So... What about Gabriella?" Cassandra asked.

"She should be asleep" Liam replied.

"Oh.. Ok" was all Cassandra could say.

"I'm sorry for not calling earlier" Liam apologized.

"That's No big deal" Cassandra replied.

"So... Good night" Liam said not knowing what next to say. "Good night" Cassandra replied and Liam ended the call. He found himself smiling sheepishly. Just speaking to her is making him happy.

....

"Dad, there is only one way to get what we want" Diana said to Mr. Robert.

"And that is...?" Mr. Robert asked. "There is this girl... She is Liam's week point once we get her, everything will be settled" Diana replied.

"That's my girl... Now get more information about this girl" Mr. Robert said with his usual annoying mischievous smile.
