The baby contract novel Chapter 19

    Both Carla and Liam knew that was not what she wanted to say. The words on the tip of her tongue were more like childish, ridiculous, immature among other things. But she held her tongue in check. It was probably because of her boss. Liam answered as he saw Carla was still nursing her anger and her jaw was set stubbornly. 

   He managed to hold back his laughter " It's nothing you need to worry about, Amanda, we're fine "

  Amanda obviously didn't believe him but she didn't say anything further. 

  She shrugged " Okay sir, take care Carla, I'll come see you later " and the door closed behind her softly. 

  Liam bursted into uncontrollable fit of laughter. If looks could kill, he would be lying dead on the floor. She threw him glares that could kill and Liam could see she was beyond angry. 

  " What's funny? " She squinted her eyes like he was crazy because there was obviously nothing worth laughing about. 

  He grinned " You are "

  She rolled her eyes but said nothing. 

 " Come on, don't be childish. You look like you wanna throw a tantrum " He said with a wide smile. 

 " That's not true! " She exclaimed and huffed, folding her arms under her breasts. 

  Liam's eyes followed her action and he gulped, feeling his throat tightened suddenly. 

 " So, have you thought about it? " He asked glumly. 

  She nodded, getting serious too " Yup "

" And? " He prompted when she didn't say anything further. 

" Yup " She said again. 

   He raised one eyebrow quizzically " Yup what? "

   She threw him a quick glare " I said yes! " She said in a loud voice, getting exasperated. 

  He sighed, tired of the games she was playing already " Carla be precise, is my proposal a yes or no? "

 " Yes " She replied quietly. 

  His whole demeanor changed and he laughed " Wow, that's cool! " He said, clapping his hands excitedly. 

  She smiled bitterly " It's funny really "

  Liam frowned slightly on hearing her words " Funny? What's funny? "

" It's funny how we're getting married and we barely know each other " She replied quietly. 

  His laughing face disappeared completely " I know " He sighed.
