Chapter 63


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


    "You can make it work, Jenny! " Ca eximed, 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.


    Ca 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 " Ca shot back.


    " Nah it isn’t " Jenny disagreed totally.


    Ca 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.


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


    Jennyughed " Come on its just your face, I''m not sure it''s the same thing as your body " Then she sat back and studied Ca 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? "


    Ca sighed and proceeded to tell her everything that has urred 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.


    Ca 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 " Ca 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 "


    Ca 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? "


    Ca 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 Ca''s face closely as if


    she feared the illness might still lingered somewhere around her body.


    Ca 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.


    Ca nodded and continued " So when the test results came out, the doctor discovered that I am pregnant "


    Jenny screamed " You''re what?? &


    You''re pregnant?? I mean, you! res


    carrying’ a young Liam in your” “And


    she dragged Ca up and engulfed


    her''in a tight hug.

    "Aww I''m so happy for you Ca!"


    Jenny eximed and sniffed which


    made Ga wondered if she was


    crying-What''s up with people =


    sniffing when she told themof her


    pregnancy? She had no clue.


    " Thank you " Ca replied, but her voice came out muffled before of the hug that was so tight that Jenny almost choked her with it.


    " Jenny... You''re... Choking me!" She managed to say when she could endure it no more.


    Jenny drew back from the hug immediately " Oh dear! I''m sorry! Are you okay?! " she asked apologetically and fussed over her.


    "I''m fine " Ca replied and took her seat, Jenny copying her action too.


    " So, " Jenny started talking " Have you informed Liam yet? " She asked, looking interested


    Ca nodded and smiled dreamily " Yeah I did that already "


    " What was his response? " Jenny asked eagerly, leaning forward in her seat


    Ca was fost in thought though, so

    Ca jolted out of her reverie and she looked dazed for a moment " Uh? " She asked.


    Jenny snapped her fingers before her" Stop daydreaming my dear, you can do that when you get home, now answer my question "


    " Sorry, did you say something? " Ca asked in a daze.


    Jenny smirked "I asked you what Liam''s response was when you told him you''re carrying his baby? “


    Ca blushed " Of course he was happy, this is what brought us together, isn’t it? “Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Jenny whistled " Wow! So you''re going to be a mother?? " She asked rhetorically but Ca answered anyway.


    "Yeah " Ca said proudly and tucked her hair behind her ear, feeling a wave of confidence washed through her.


    Jenny pped her hands in excitement " Yay! I can''t wait to be an aunt! "


    Caughed, sharing her excitement and theyughed together.


    "I don''t see your driver around, who brought you here? " Jenny asked, looking around.


    "My husband " Ca said proudly.


    Jenny snorted " Coming from the mouth of someone who ims she doesn''t love the man in her life, ims it''s a marriage in name only "


    " Stop!" Ca blushed furiously and pped Jenny lightly on the arm.


    They talkedte into the night until Jenny decided it was time for Ca to go home. Ca checked her wristwatch. It was past 8.
