Liam arrived home from work at night and saw Lana was sitting in the living room watching television. Liam halted as he saw that perfect picture of the wife waiting for her husband to return home. His heart was clutched by something suddenly.

Lana saw Liam entering and said with a smile as she stood up, "You're here. I will prepare the table fast." 

"No need. I already ate dinner in the office." Liam commented sullenly.

Lana's face soured hearing his reply as she had not eaten yet since she was waiting for him to eat together. Any small-time spent together with him was an opportunity for Lana and she didn't want to miss a single opportunity.

"How about dessert then. I haven't eaten dinner yet. I was waiting for you…" Lana murmured.

Liam's eyebrows knitted as he replied, "You did not message me so I thought you would have eaten already."
