The Law of Attraction

Meanwhile, inside one of the private rooms at the department of justice, Ram was with Chelsy while they waited for Chelsy to be called as a witness against Gracy.

"Are you nervous?" Ram asked Chelsy as he held her hand.

Chelsy gave Ram an awkward smile and shook her head.

Ram chuckled because he could feel how cold her hands were.

"You're nervous…" he whispered.

"No, I'm not..." Chelsy mumbled with pouty lips. She wanted to show Ram that she was brave especially when it comes to helping out Lana and Liam. But she was indeed somehow feeling nervous.

She did not want to make any mistake or say anything wrong that would jeopardize everything. She often heard that lawyers were quite good at twisting words and asking questions that would sometimes mess with the integrity of your sentence or would cause you to stutter looking like you were not saying the truth.

Ram teased her with his grin as he mumbled, "It's okay to get nervous. Just tell them the truth and you'll be fine my dear. Liam will always have your back."

"Let's play while waiting. This is killing me… I need to get distracted and let go of my nervousness…" Chelsy mumbled followed by a loud inhale and exhale.

"Play… This should be better than playing," Ram commented, making Chelsy blink at him with questioning eyes.

Ram had a playful smile before he pulled Chelsy closer to him and gave her a passionate kiss. Chelsy did not have the energy to scold him or push him away so she put one of her arms around his neck, answering his deep kiss.

Both were breathless as Chelsy finally managed to have enough energy to gently push Ram.

"Geez, someone might see us!" she whispered but Ram only answered her with an amused laugh.

"No longer nervous? Tell me if you want more because it is the best medicine to ease nervousness and make you feel relaxed…" Ram teased, making Chelsy chuckle.

He then pulled Chelsy to his embrace and grabbed her hand, intertwining it with his while he whispered, "You will definitely do better once you've been called as a witness. Gather enough strength and don't worry about anything else. Think that you are only doing what is right as a citizen and most especially for your family."

Chelsy smiled and whispered, "Yes, I will do that…"

Meanwhile, at Yu's residence, Luo was watching the trial that was telecasted live in a bad mood. Noah scratched his head as he looked at his wife whose face was too crinkled.

Noah sat beside her on the couch holding a tray of fresh fruits as he meekly whispered, "Baby, I have cut and prepared a variety of fruits… Try this, it's good for you…"

He forked a gr.a.p.e and was about to feed her but Luo hissed, "I have hands to eat… Feed yourself!"

Noah put the tray on the table and pulled Luo to his embrace while he whispered, "Baby don't get mad… How can you blame me for loving you so much? I can't help but get worried you know. It's best that we just stay here at home and watch the trial here since they are broadcasting it live anyway."

Luo clicked her tongue irritably and murmured, "But I want to see everything in action! See? I can't even see whom I want to see… Like now I want to see how Gracy's expression changes with every question but the camera is just focusing on the one who's answering to Liam…"

Noah tried his best not to laugh as he knew his wife would throw a big tantrum because of it.

"Hmm, it's good that you won't see Gracy, or else you'll just end up feeling more annoyed. Do you know that there is a saying that when a pregnant woman is too annoyed or too fond of someone more often than not the baby will end up looking like that person you're annoyed or fond of too? So it's better that you get annoyed only with me since It's better if our baby looks like me. Don't you agree?" Noah added.

Luo pouted her lips and turned to him… Looking closely she whined, "I want to be there when they announce the verdict. I let you decide now during trials but at the final verdict, I want to be present in the court!"

Noah gulped. He himself did not know why he was so overprotective about Luo and her pregnancy. He felt that it would not be good for her to be present in court.

Luo pouted her lips and persisted, "Answer me, or else you will sleep in the guest room tonight!"

Noah scratched his head and whimpered, "Why do you always threaten me like that when you're clearly aware that I can't sleep without you by my side? Such a cruel wife you are…"

Luo tried her best not to chuckle seeing the sullen face of her husband. She was dying to see the action inside the courtroom live but her husband was being a killjoy. She must convince him this time. She would not miss the opportunity to see Gracy being sentenced to life imprisonment. That woman deserved the worst seeing how she did not repent and kept on denying her crimes!

"Alright fine… You can attend the final verdict," Noah weakly muttered.

Luo hugged him tightly and enthusiastically said, "Thanks baby!" followed by a loud kiss on his lips.

"I will need more than just a mere kiss and hug for this," he demanded, making Luo squint her eyes at him.

But then a naughty and playful smile curved on her lips as she promised, "No problem… I will give you more than a kiss and a hug as long as we will attend every trial…"

Noah's shoulders dropped as he complained, "Geez… Seriously? Never mind… I will just let myself suffer and be content with the kiss and hug. As long as you and our baby won't be stubborn and follow whatever it is that I want for your safety, which is not to go there especially when it's Bill Grey on the stand I will be happy. Who knows what might happen? That man will do anything just to save himself and not rot in prison…"

"Baby, the military will guard the place well and I'm sure Bill won't be able to do a thing. Don't you know that he's powerless now? The military made sure he won't be able to mobilize even a single ant to help him…" Luo emphasized because she heard it from her sister but she forgot to mention it to her husband.

"I'm hoping you're right baby because without the law these kinds of men are worse than animals… without law, men are beasts..." Noah said.

"Hmmm, I agree but the only beast I prefer is you… A beast in bed…" Luo shamelessly declared in a jest, teasing her husband who turned a deep shade of red in embarrassment.
