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


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


    Ca 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 "


    Ca rolled her eyes at that. which made Jennyughed.


    " 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&Bpany "


    " Whatever " Ca 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 ke " She said to Jenny and her eyes kept drifting over to Ca.


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


    Ca 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 andughed.


    " Shut your trap Jenny " Ca snapped but ended up joining in theughter too.


    The waitress lingered around, her gaze asionally drifting to Ca 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 Ca " Let''s go, shall we? “


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


    " Evening ma''am, the boss asked me toe 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? " Ca asked, ncing 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.


    Ca looked at Jenny " We''ll see soon, okay? You cane for a visit too "And she smiled


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


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


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


    Ca settled downfortably in her seat and closed her eyes


    " Why is he not back yet? " She asked with her eyes still closed.


    Ben nced at her from the


    rearview mirror, not sure what the


    best reply would be to a pregnant


    woman. Yeah he got to find out that


    his boss''s wife was carrying his >


    child through his boss. Liam had


    literally threatened to make fim lose


    hisjob if he so much drive S


    carelessly. He decided to-say the


    truth, even if he wasn''t sure how it


    would sound to her.


    "I..." He took a deep breath and continued "I have no idea ma''am, he only gave me an order toe pick you up "


    Ca nodded in understanding " No message from him? "


    He shook his head " No ma''am "


    " Okay " She replied


    They got home not long after and she went straight to bed, not bothering to wait up for Liam.


    A weekter, K.was a Saturday


    morning so the couple were home,


    Ca stilhitbed while Liam busied


    himself with reading newspaper.


    Ca''sphone rang and his gaze


    fowied the direction the sound


    came from. The phone wasvon the


    dféssing table just beside-the bed.


    " Ca, you have a call" He called out and Ca tossed and turned but didn''t get up.


    " Be? " He called out again, louder this time.


    She opened an eyezily, her gaze not focused on him yet. The shrilling sound of her ringtone seemed to finally get to her because she grimaced and


    held a hand to her head.


    " Oww " She groaned and reached out for her phone. It was Diana.


    " Hello? " She said into the speaker, her voice still drowsy.


    " Hey sweetheart! How are you? " Diana shouted from the other end. Did the woman never run out of energy? Ca wondered and put the phone a


    little bit away from her ear to avoid a sore er.


    " Hi Diana, I''m fine and you? " Ca asked politely. Liam looked up at the mention of his mother''s name. He sighed, why should she call so early in


    the morning? He sighed again. He watched Ca''s face intently, thinking she looked weak and tired.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.

    "You guys woke up hours ago, is there something wrong? It''s way too early if you guys woke up even some hours ago " Diana said thoughtfully.


    "Uh..." Ca looked at loss for words. She looked over to Liam for help but he shrugged, as if to say he had no idea what she was talking about.


    "It''s nothing, Diana " She lied but it felt awkward.


    "Um.. Diana, can we see? " She asked anxiously.


    Dianaughed " That''s exactly why I called dear, when will you have time? "


    " How about in the evening? " Ca suggested wide eyed.
