The baby contract

Chapter 19

Both Carla and Liam knew that was not what she wanted to say. The words on the tip of her tongue were more like childish, ridiculous, immature among other things. But she held her tongue in check. It was probably because of her boss. Liam answered as he saw Carla was still nursing her anger and her jaw was set stubbornly.

He managed to hold back his laughter " It's nothing you need to worry about, Amanda, we're fine "

Amanda obviously didn't believe him but she didn't say anything further.

She shrugged " Okay sir, take care Carla, I'll come see you later " and the door closed behind her softly.

Liam bursted into uncontrollable fit of laughter. If looks could kill, he would be lying dead on the floor. She threw him glares that could kill and Liam could see she was beyond angry.

" What's funny? " She squinted her eyes like he was crazy because there was obviously nothing worth laughing about.

He grinned " You are "

She rolled her eyes but said nothing.

" Come on, don't be childish. You look like you wanna throw a tantrum " He said with a wide smile.

" That's not true! " She exclaimed and huffed, folding her arms under her breasts.

Liam's eyes followed her action and he gulped, feeling his throat tightened suddenly.

" So, have you thought about it? " He asked glumly.

She nodded, getting serious too " Yup "

" And? " He prompted when she didn't say anything further.

" Yup " She said again.

He raised one eyebrow quizzically " Yup what? "

She threw him a quick glare " I said yes! " She said in a loud voice, getting exasperated.

He sighed, tired of the games she was playing already " Carla be precise, is my proposal a yes or no? "

" Yes " She replied quietly.

His whole demeanor changed and he laughed " Wow, that's cool! " He said, clapping his hands excitedly.

She smiled bitterly " It's funny really "

Liam frowned slightly on hearing her words " Funny? What's funny? "

" It's funny how we're getting married and we barely know each other " She replied quietly.

His laughing face disappeared completely " I know " He sighed. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She shrugged " It's fate I guess, so when do we begin the signing of the contract? "

He nodded " Soon, but tell me Carla, are you ready to become mine? Are you ready to become a part of my life for a year? " He asked softly.

She stared at him for a while before she nodded " Yes " She answered in a little voice.

" When do we sign the contract? " She asked again.

" Why are you in a hurry, Bella? We'll sign the contract soon. Let's get these questions cleared first " He had moved closer to her as they spoke and she pressed back into her chair.

He was invading her personal space but the guy was too damn arrogant to admit that and back off. She blushed at the name he called her. The guy sure knew how to seduce a woman, she thought as he leaned close and tucked her hair properly behind her ear, all the while inhaling her scent.

" You sure you're ready to be my wife and keep me warm every night, hmmn Bella? " He whispered, placing light kisses on her exposed neck.

Carla involuntarily closed her eyes and moaned softly. He sucked on her soft spot and she moaned out loud.

" Hmmn... "

" You like that? " He whispered against her neck.

She was not in her right mind to speak so he bit her softly which made her cry out in pain and pleasure. He was sure the spot was going to leave a mark later. He smiled to himself. Yup, he wanted everyone to see the hickey and knew she was his. Not yet, a voice in his head said. What does it matter? She was going to be his soon, he fired back. He pushed the voice out and focused on the woman before him.

He trailed kisses from her neck down to her cleavage and she arched her back. He was in the process of going down when his phone rang. Damn! He groaned, the person had better had a good reason for calling him when he was in the middle of something important. It was his damn lawyer.

" What? " He barked into the speaker, not bothering to exchange pleasantries with him. His lawyer knew he called at a bad time so he made his information swift.

" Okay " He said and hung up. He looked at Carla but sadly enough, she had regained her composure as she pushed him away slightly. He got the message and moved back. It was the damn lawyer's fault. He wished the fucking lawyer was here so he could strangle him for disrupting such an important session.

He forced a little cough out of his throat " Uh... So where were we? " He scratched the back of his neck, trying to remember but failed.

Carla looked just as lost as he was but after a minute, her eyes lightened up as though she remembered something " You said you had some questions for me " She replied in a calm voice.

" Oh that's right! So, before we proceed with the contract signing and everything, do you have any debt you're yet to settle? "

Her eyes widened with hope " You'll clear the debts?! Everything?! "

He nodded " Yeah, so do you have any family debt? " He asked.

She frowned slightly " Did you do a background check on me? "

He shook his head " No Kitten, I would prefer to hear your life story from, not from doing background check, I just asked a random question, that's all "

She smiled slightly " Yeah, I have some family debts to pay, that's one of the reasons I came to Mexico to work and start a new life here "

She told him about her family and her life back in Georgia.

" I'm sorry " He said quietly when she was done.
