The baby contract novel Chapter 29

 They ate their food in silence and when they finished, Carla put away the dishes in the kitchen along with Adele who shooed her away when she offered to do the dishes. 

" Go on and meet your Mom baby, you guys have lots of things to talk about. I'll just do the dishes and head home " Adele said, smiling tenderly. 

 Carla thanked her and left for Georgia's room. She was sitting up, as though she was waiting for her. Carla had hardly settled down comfortably on the bed when her mother spoke. 

" So you're getting married " Georgia blurted out. 

 Carla took a deep breath and nodded " Yes Mom "

 Georgia raised a questioning eyebrow " To who? "

Carla sighed " I told you on the phone, Mom. Have you forgotten so quickly? "

" I was sick and words hardly stick in my head " Georgia said, defending herself. 

" Was that a real sickness? " Carla asked, eyeing her mother. 

 Georgia's eyes shot up " Of course! What else could it be if not sickness? Or do you think I was pretending too? "

 Carla smiled " Of course not, you were real sick "

 Georgia rolled her eyes, she knew her daughter was just humoring her. 

" So who are you getting married to? " She asked again, bringing them back to the main subject. 

" Liam Blake " Carla replied and sighed again. 

 Georgia frowned " That name rings a bell "

" That's because I told you about him on the phone! " Carla said, getting exasperated. 

 Georgia shook her head " No, not even that. I feel like I've heard the name somewhere "

" Really? That's because he's quite famous in the business world " Carla said with a shrug. 

 Something clicked in Georgia's head and she snapped two fingers as though she remembered what it was.

 " Yes that's it! He's quite popular, right? " Georgia asked, wide eyed. 

" Yeah, why? " Carla asked with a small frown. 

 Georgia didn't reply, instead she brought out her phone and started typing on it. A few minutes later, she looked up with wide eyes and turned the screen of the phone to Carla. 

" Is this him?! " She asked in shock. 

Carla nodded " Yeah it's him "

Georgia sucked in a sharp breath " You're marrying a big man, Carla! "

 Carla grimaced, not sharing her excitement " Really? "

" Of course! How did you manage to get a guy like him?! Did you fall for his looks and charms? I heard he's quite notorious " Georgia started to panic. 

" Calm down Mom " Carla said, laughing. 

 Georgia's eyes widened the more " I should calm down?! We're talking about your future, Carla! " 

" Mom, calm down and let me explain " Carla coaxed her mother and Georgia eyed her warily. 

" Okay little lady, I'm all ears " She said finally. 

" I love him, Mom " Carla said dreamily and smiled. 

" He has been so good to me and he loves me too " She added. 

 Georgia huffed " That's it? Even if you're in love with each other, why are you getting married so fast? "
