The baby contract novel Chapter 63

" It won't work Carla, besides we met each other not long ago " Jenny tried to explain calmly this time. 

" You can make it work, Jenny! " Carla exclaimed, trying to drum sense into her best friend. 

Jenny shook her head " I'll think about it... Hey! Are you telling me to make the first move?? " She became wide eyed. 

Carla nodded and leaned forward in her seat " You should, what if he feels the same way and doesn't want to make the first move because he's scared of rejection?? You have to do it , Jenny! " 

Jenny sneered " Coming from someone who keeps insisting that her marriage is fake "

" Because it is " Carla shot back. 

" Nah it isn't " Jenny disagreed totally. 

Carla rolled her eyes and took a sip from her drink. 

" Speaking of which, how are you guys doing these days? " Jenny asked curiously. 

She frowned " I guess marital life suits you, now that I'm staring at you closely, your face seems to have filled out a bit. Wow it must really be good to be married " She smiled wistfully. 

Carla's eyes widened " My face?? You mean I've added fat?? " She looked horrified. 

Jenny laughed " Come on its just your face, I'm not sure it's the same thing as your body " Then she sat back and studied Carla more closely, checking her out fully. 

She looked thoughtful " You're not bad, I guess why do you look so terrible by the fact that you might have added some weight? " 

Carla sighed and proceeded to tell her everything that has occurred in the past few days. 

She started talking " I was sick recently and... " 

Jenny cut her off " You were sick?! And you didn't inform me about it until now?? " She shrieked. 

Carla sighed, feeling guilty " I'm sorry, I just felt it wasn't a big deal and I could handle it " 

Jenny raised her eyebrows " So did you handle it yourself? " She taunted. 

" I bet you didn't inform Liam because you thought you could handle it yourself, right? " She added with a sneer. 

" Come on, I told him after I went for a checkup at a hospital " Carla said quietly. 

" Hospital?! " Jenny shrieked " It got worse to the point where you had to go to the hospital?? And you didn't even tell me anything?? Wow " 

Carla reached out and squeezed Jenny's hands in hers " I'm sorry, I just didn't want to be a bother to anyone, Jenny " And she looked really sorry. 

" Okay fine " Jenny sighed " Go on, what happened at the hospital? Was it some flu you caught? "

Carla shook her head " No it wasn't flu or fever like I expected, I was made to run some tests... " 

Again , Jenny cut her off " You even went through tests?? Was it that bad? Are you okay? " She asked frantically, searching Carla's face closely as if she feared the illness might still lingered somewhere around her body. 

Carla smiled a little " I'm fine Jenny, just listen to what I want to say " 

" Oh sorry, go ahead " Jenny said and adjusted herself on her seat.
