The baby contract novel Chapter 64

Liam hadn't promised he would come pick her up but still, she expected him to do so. 

" Should I drop you off on my way home? " Jenny offered, breaking into Carla's thoughts. 

Carla shook her head and smiled " No Jenny, I don't want to be a bother, I'll just call a taxi "

Jenny refused immediately " The great Liam's wife in a taxi?? I don't want to imagine what would be on the headline newspaper tomorrow " 

Carla rolled her eyes at that, which made Jenny laughed. 

" Come on don't be stubborn, I'll take you home. You have to be careful especially now that you're carrying the unborn heir of L&B company " 

" Whatever " Carla said and rolled her eyes. She was doing that a lot she knew, but couldn't seem to stop herself. 

A waitress came over to them " A guy is outside, asking for a Mrs Blake " She said to Jenny and her eyes kept drifting over to Carla. 

" Oh that's you! " Jenny said to Carla. 

Carla smiled " I think Ben is here " She said and heaved a sigh of relief. 

" I knew Liam wouldn't abandon his beloved wife " Jenny teased and laughed. 

" Shut your trap Jenny " Carla snapped but ended up joining in the laughter too. 

The waitress lingered around, her gaze occasionally drifting to Carla in awe and admiration. It seemed as though everyone knew her, all thanks to Liam, a public figure, for getting married to her. 

" Do you need something, Eloise? " Jenny asked the waitress, raising her eyebrows. 

Eloise looked startled " No... No ma'am, I was just checking to see if you needed something "

" No thanks, you can take your leave " Jenny said, smiling tightly. 

" Yes... Yes ma'am " Eloise stammered and left. 

Jenny turned to Carla " Let's go, shall we? " 

Carla nodded and together, they went outside to see Ben waiting for her. 

" Evening ma'am, the boss asked me to come pick you up " He said and tipped his hat in Jenny's direction in greeting in which she replied with a warm smile. 

" Is he back from work? " Carla asked, glancing at Ben. 

He shook his head " No ma'am " with that said, he got the door opened and stood aside while he waited for her to go in. 

Carla looked at Jenny " We'll see soon, okay? You can come for a visit too " And she smiled. 

Jenny laughed in reply, humoring her " Sure honey, I'll stop by sometime " and she pulled Carla into a hug. Yeah, she forgot Jenny was a hugger. 

" Bye " Carla said and disentangled herself from the embrace. 

" Bye " Jenny replied and waved until the car was out of sight. 

Carla settled down comfortably in her seat and closed her eyes.
