Carla sighed " He doesn't Jenny, he just wanted a baby from me and he has gotten what he wanted "
Jenny imitated her and sighed too " What can I do to drum it into your head that this guy loves you? "
Carla shook her head " You can't convince me baby, my mind is made up, I'm leaving Jenny "
" You're making a big mistake, just so you know " Jenny said with a shake of her head.
" Even if he loves me, it isn't enough reason to stay Jenny! I have to go live my own life too and that's outside of this marriage " Carla said quietly and adjusted her baby in her arms.
An old passed by their table and they came back, their eyes on Dom.
" What a cute baby you have there, Mrs Blake right? " The old lady said in admiration.
Carla looked startled for a moment, wondering how they knew her because she was sure she had not met them before. She had forgotten she was a public figure now too, all thanks to Liam.
Jenny nudged her lightly on the arm, jolting her back into presence
" Ah... Yeah, I'm Carla Blake " She replied politely, mustering up a small smile.
The old lady smiled " Nice to meet you Mrs Blake, I'm Shelly Winters and, " She pushed her husband forward " This is my husband, Will Winters "
The man's cheeks became flushed and he stuttered " Uh... Nice to meet you, Mrs Blake "
Carla smiled " The pleasure is all mine sir "
" Wow I must say, he really takes after his father in good looks and the aura of wealth " Shelly gushed out in awe.
" Aww thank you " Jenny answered for as she looked to be lost in thought.
The old couple left shortly after and Jenny snapped her fingers in front of Carla.
" Hey! " She snapped.
Carla looked up, startled " Oh... Yeah, did you say something? "
Jenny shook her head " What are you thinking so hard about? "
Carla shook her head quickly " Uh... Nothing, I'm just tired, that's all "
