The Law of Attraction

At Sy Mansion

After dinner, Liam asked Jorge and their father to grab some drinks together at the veranda. Since the night looked good, he wanted the boys to hang out like that together and talk about various things. It had been a while since they last hung out and had a heart to heart chat.

Senior Sy scratched his head as he was a bit hesitant, but nodded later planning that he would just drink less and light shots.

"I will join too!" Miley enthusiastically added, and even raised her hand.

"Me too!" Lana followed and just as the words left her mouth, all eyes turned towards her.

She chuckled and explained quickly, "I will have a fruit juice of course, while you all drink alcohol."

Soon, everyone gathered at the veranda outside where butler Dan had been setting the fire for the fireplace.

"It's already cold! Winter is coming." Lana commented as they all gathered around the comfy couch placed near the fireplace.

"Yeah… and Liam's birthday too." Senior Yang commented.

"I still remember the day when you were born. It had been snowing and was really cold that time, but you had filled my heart with such warmth the moment I heard your loud cries inside the delivery room." Senior Sy continued.

Miley pouted her lips and blurted, "And what about me, dad?"

Senior Sy felt amused by his daughter's jealousy and said, "I had felt great joy the moment you were born, Miley. To be honest, that's probably the reason why I can't hate or resent your mother… She gave birth to the both of you, and I am very grateful to her for granting me such wonderful children."

Lana smiled as she admired her father-in-law for having such a warm heart.

Miley could not help but straightforwardly comment, "But father… We, your children, want to see you enjoy your life to the fullest. You deserve a second chance in love.

I think you're reluctant to try because of your age, but I've even witnessed men in their 70s still marrying and having successful relationsh.i.p.s. You're just afraid that it would become a failure even the second time."

Senior Sy did not know what came to him that Chelsy suddenly appeared inside his head.

"See, I'm right? Your silence means yes," Miley teased. She somehow did not care whether it's Chelsy or any other woman. As long as that woman would be loyal to their father and would fully give her heart to him, that would be more than enough.

"You brat. You're talking nonsense again." Senior Sy humphed.

Liam shook his head and chuckled, watching Miley and their father banter.

Jorge leaned towards Liam and whispered, "Miley told me that father is getting closer to the assistant cook Chelsy. Father helped that woman and the woman wanted to repay his kindness so she offered herself to work here."

Liam was surprised to hear that but somehow he was already anticipating it… For his father to have a successful lovelife this time.

"Miley is right here father! We would all love to see you with someone. We are not forcing you though, we are just hoping that you open up your heart somehow for this. I know you think that it's not needed, but we want you to feel loved and we want to see you being taken care of by a woman who loves you." Liam seconded.

Senior Sy was silent and Miley could already sense something so she asked candidly, "What do you think about Chelsy, father?"

Senior Sy's face immediately paled at the mention of Chelsy, and he complained, "Why do I feel like I'm being on the hot seat? I thought we would be having a few drinks and talk about something more important?"

Lana laughed and said, "Father your lovelife is far more important to your children and you know why…"

Jorge shook his head as he watched the three cornering their father together to force him to have a lovelife.

"So, father, tell us what do you think about Chelsy? I heard you are often found having good conversations with her…" Miley pushed the topic.

Senior Sy raised an eyebrow as he mumbled, "That butler.. I should fire him for saying too many nonsense things…"

Miley laughed and said, "Nah, don't punish the poor butler Dan, but it's not his fault that I ended up peeling him alive after I saw you laughing hard together with Chelsy the moment you arrived from shopping that day father.

I never saw you laugh like that before with anyone else and do you know how glad I was to witness that? I believe you also like her… As a woman, I could sense Chelsy has feelings for you father."

Liam was surprised to hear all those. But he was glad Miley opened it up so their father would know their positive response about it in case he would have a woman in his life. He must know that they would support him all the way and would not be against it.

He trusted his sister's judgement. He was sure Miley had already checked the matter carefully for her to push that woman named Chelsy to their father.

"Oh, I haven't seen her. I'm suddenly curious to see and meet her." Lana commented.

Miley smiled mischievously and said, "We will call her…"

Senior Sy's face crumpled at this and as he promptly added, "Miley, stop it already. Let her have privacy. Besides, it's not good to talk like this about her. You sound like the woman is already head over heels about me when we don't know about that."

He felt so embarrassed being centered like that.

Hearing the response from their father, Miley's face brightened and she candidly asked, "What if she is that? I mean what if she actually likes you or loves you?"

Senior Sy gazed sharply at her, but Miley ignored it and rather added, "I'm just saying it hypothetically father. As a man I want to know what you think of her…"

All eyes quickly turned and fixated at Senior Sy's face that he suddenly blushed out of embarrassment.

Jorge laughed out hard at their father's embarrassed look and said, "Oh, please let's change the topic. That's enough wifey! Father is blushing… I can't… I think his blush has answered your question already…"
