The baby contract novel Chapter 62

Liam gave her a thumbs up and quickly went to get dressed while Carla dragged herself to her wardrobe too. Minutes later, he was driving her to Jenny's restaurant. 

" If you need anything, anything at all, you're just a call away " He said as he swerved into the direction of the street that led to Jenny's restaurant. 

She nodded gaily " Okay sir, I'll do that " 

He smiled and finally pulled the car to a stop. He got out first and came around to her side to open the door for her. 

" Thank you " She said softly and took the hand he offered. 

He held her by the shoulders " Should I walk you in? " 

She shook her head " No I can manage, now go on " 

He nodded and pulled her into a hug while patting her on the back. Then he kissed the top of her forehead. 

" Take care, huh? " He stared at her intently. 

" Bye! " She said with a wave and went in. 

" Jenny! " She squealed in excitement when she sighted her friend. 

Jenny looked back and her eyes widened in excitement too when she saw Carla. 

" Sweetheart! " And she quickly rushed over to her. 

Carla pulled her into a warm embrace until she finally pulled back. 

" What are you doing here? " Jenny asked, surprised. 

Carla rolled her eyes " What does it look like? I came to say Hi of course, or am I not welcome here? " 

" Of course you are darling ". Jenny chided her.

" But last time I checked, you were in a hurry to get rid of me so I didn't know you'd come here " She added with a glare. 

" Come on, you know I love you " She said teasingly. 

Jenny eyed her " I'm beginning to doubt that " 

Carla smiled sweetly " You don't need to, honey " 

" Come on " Jenny said and led the way over to a table in a corner. She took her seat and Carla imitated her. 

" So how have you been? " Jenny asked casually in a bid to start a conversation. 

Carla shrugged " I've been doing pretty good, what about you? " 

" I've been doing great too " Jenny said and shrugged . 

Carla raised her eyebrows " Really? How was your date with Alex? Did it go well? " 

Jenny shrugged again but Carla could see she was struggling to hold back her excitement. She took a swig from her drink and slurped, which made Carla scrunch up her nose in disgust, thinking it was unladylike. 

" Well? " Carla prompted when she didn't say anything anything more. 

" Our date went well, it was fantastic to be honest " Jenny finally let out. 

Carla looked at her suspiciously " It went well? That's it? There's more to it than what you're telling me, isn't it? "
