The baby contract novel Chapter 46

Heads turned as they walked to the mini restaurant in the company. Liam wanted to eat out but Carla blatantly refused and suggested eating in the restaurant. Liam had no choice but to comply with her wish. Really, there was little to nothing he could do when her mind was made up. She sneaked her hand around his arm and with chin held high, she got all the confidence she needed to walk amidst the crowd of people. Of course they stared at her, some had on malicious sneers, some stared at her with admiration and others with sheer curiosity, probably wondering how she had managed to win the heart of one of the most eligible bachelors in Mexico. 

Liam smiled down at her, making her crane her neck up to look at him. There, she keep forgetting how tall he was. 

" Enjoying yourself, wife? " He asked

She rolled her eyes " Pretty much so, but I would like it better if everyone isn't staring at me like I snatched their lover or something "

" Yeah " Liam replied absentmindedly, the thought of how hot she looked in his head. 

She continued " They're so unbelievable! " She exclaimed, waving her hands in the air. 

" Yeah " He said again. 

" They should learn to accept the fact that I'm now married to you and nothing on this earth would change that " She ended her words with a sigh. 

Now she had managed to catch his attention for he looked at her and blinked his eyes twice, wondering if he heard her wrong. 

" Uh... Sorry, did I hear you correctly? " He asked, stopping on his tracks. His action was so sudden that Carla almost bumped into him. 

" Agh... Watch it guy! " She scoffed. 

He laughed " Sorry, my bad. You said something which quite surprised me " 

She rolled her eyes " So what did I say that got you speechless? "

" Some seconds ago, you said something about our marriage that I found quite surprising and amusing at the same time " He crossed his arms and regarded her with a dark, intense gaze. 

" What? " She frowned, looking slightly confused. 

His gaze on her hardened " You've forgotten so soon? Or you just don't wanna say It again "

She rolled her eyes " Of course I'm not pretending, I really don't re... " Right then, her eyes widened slightly as a look of recognition crossed over her features. 

" Oh! Is it when I said they should accept the fact that I'm now married to you and nothing would change that?! " She asked, tapping her left foot. 

He nodded quickly " Yes! That's it, you sounded so real so I wondered if it was really you "

She laughed, brushing a strand of hair away from her face " Oh that? I only said it in favor of the passerbys, we're being watched you know " 

" So, all of those words you said... You didn't mean them? " He asked quietly, all traces of joke gone in his voice. 

She stared at him longer than it was necessary " Yeah, don't count on it because I didn't mean any of that " She replied softly.
