The Law of Attraction

Chapter 103: Shotgun Wedding

At Sy Mansion

The family gathered in the dining area for dinner. Gracy who was already staying at Sy mansion also joined them for dinner. Everyone was present there except for Liam.

"Where is Liam, uncle?" Gracy asked. Everyone involuntarily looked at Jorge.

"Dona told me he left the office in a rush with Lana even before lunch and did not return after that. Shall I call him and ask?" Jorge directly asked Senior Sy. When he nodded and agreed to call Liam, he grabbed his mobile phone.

"He's not picking-up," Jorge murmured while the mobile phone was still near his ear.

Senior Sy instructed their butler to call Andrew, who immediately arrived in the dining area. Andrew scratched his head because he was about to call Jorge for the spicy information he was about to relay, however, his mobile phone unfortunately ran out of battery as soon as he left the registrar's office so he could not inform Jorge about anything.

"Didn't you drive Liam to the office in the morning today?" Senior Sy asked Andrew to which he nodded and agreed.

"So you are already at home but Liam is not here. When was the last time you parted with Liam?" Senior Sy asked Andrew.

"At the registrar's office Sir," Andrew answered with an awkward smile.

"Registrar's office?" Everyone in the room roared in chorus.

"Why?" Gracy asked in a high pitch note.

Andrew scratched his head, hesitating if he should announce it to all.

"Andrew!" Senior Sy yelled at him for being absent minded.

"Yes sir, I actually do not know what really happened inside but in the car before I dropped them there I heard something about getting married. Sir, I think you should ask sir Liam about it…" Andrew explained, feeling he was in no position to say it directly to Boss Liam's family.

"Getting married?!" Everyone burst out. Jorge quickly dismissed Andrew and dropped a text message to Liam.

Gracy, with weak knees, plunked her shoulders. Her face could not be painted.

Senior Sy on the other hand had this excited smile. "That brat! How could he do things like that so suddenly? Informing none of us? Oh, gosh…" he yelped.

Senior Sy looked at Jorge and instructed, "Keep calling that brat later but for now let's all eat dinner."

"Wow, if indeed they have gotten married, bro surely was in a hurry. Marriage in a flash!" Miley could not help but comment while in the middle of their dinner.

Soon, Jorge's mobile phone rang. And everyone stopped eating.

"Answer it." Gracy could not help but beamed. She wanted to know what really happened with Liam, but she could not make the call directly.

Jorge looked at their father, who gave him a nod, so Jorge answered Liam's call.

"Bro, everyone here is looking for you? Where are you? Andrew said he last dropped you and Lana at the registrar's office. Father is asking what happened." Jorge said as soon as he answered the call.

"I'm at Lana's house, Jorge. Yes, we got married, but I will tell you the details soon. Tell dad, he has a daughter-in-law now and we will formally visit him soon. For now, just wait until we settle everything down. By the way, I will live at Lana's place for a while Jorge so you can call Lana in case I'm not able to answer." Liam explained before ending the call.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Jorge to quench their thirst of answers as soon as he put down his mobile phone.

A roguish smile curved up on his beautiful lips before saying, "He indeed got married and will temporarily stay at Lana's house. He said he would bring Lana here very soon to formally greet you dad. It's a bit rushed but he will explain everything later dad, so there's nothing to worry about."

"That's so absurd! What is going on with Liam?! What's wrong with him? I'm sure it must be Lana who might have forced him into it. And they did everything in a rush!" Gracy exclaimed with a furrowed forehead.

Miley's eyebrows arched, hearing Gracy whining exaggeratedly, so she murmured, "Don't overreact Gracy. My brother knows what he is doing. We all know that bro Liam never handles things recklessly unless he gives a careful thought on everything. My take on this is that my brother did not want Lana to escape from his clutches, so he wanted to seal his relationship with this marriage."

"But still! Who marries in a rush like that? It's like a shotgun wedding!" Gracy continued to leer in a tight breath. She had not even started, but the event was already giving her an endgame?! Her face paled, now that she knew she must leave or else she would end up showing how furious she was.

"I don't see anything wrong with it though," Miley commented, unconsciously adding fuel in Gracy's fury.

"I guess then we should congratulate Liam when he returns. Anyway, guys, I will leave first…" Gracy whispered with a faint poker smile. She immediately stood up and put the table napkin on the table.

As soon as Gracy left, Senior Sy looked at Jorge and instructed, "Tell him to see me tomorrow first thing in the morning, with Lana, and explain to me everything that happened. I want him here early tomorrow morning!"

Although he was happy with the news, still, it was wrong that Liam took them by surprise like that.

'Such an ungrateful son… Couldn't he call me and tell me to reach the registrar's office and enjoy that moment… Insolent!'

What would Lana's mother think of it? They haven't been introduced yet properly. He wanted Lana's mother to have a good first impression about their family, and yet his son dared to take a detour.

'How could he destroy his reputation in front of Lana's mother? Such a fool…!'

"We should formally meet Lana's mother now, if possible, as early as tomorrow Jorge. Call Liam now and I will talk to him now. Maybe I should not wait to see him tomorrow and discuss it over the phone…

No, wait… Tell Liam to come over now." Senior Sy muttered. He was so happy, overjoyed with that piece of news that he didn't know how to react. He thought of one thing and then another… his confusion was a result of his happiness mixed with his anger with Liam for acting in a rush.

Miley shook her head, watching her father could not complete what he really wanted to do. Obviously, he was too hyped with the news, but annoyed with his brother at the same time for bypassing their father on such an important matter.
