Chapter 70


    The house was dark and quiet so she automatically assumed Liam had gone to bed.


    " Thank goodness " She really didn''t have any strength to deal with him right now. As quietly as she could manage. she went tiptoed into Dom''s


    nursery and her face broke into a tender smile when she saw her son sleeping soundly. She closed the door quietly and proceeded upstairs to their


    bedroom. She opened the door quietly and closed it behind her. She breathed a sigh of relief but it was short lived because when she tured, Liam


    was sitting on the bed, his head popped up against his chin as he stared at her.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    " Hey " She said softly and started walking towards the bathroom, all the while aware of his piercing gaze on her.


    " What''s the meaning of all these, Ca? " His question made her stop in her tracks and she closed her eyes briefly, getting ready mentally for what


    was toe.


    She turned and feigned oblivious to what he meant" What do you mean? "


    He raised his eyebrows, not liking the fact that she wanted him to repeat his question " You heard me right Ca, why? What''s the meaning of all


    these? "


    She sighed " I just went to a party Liam, is that so wrong? "


    " Yes it is, considering how you''re nursing a baby, it''s so wrong of you to do that” Liam said quietly and Ca red.


    " Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?!" She shouted. It was meant to be a rhetorical question because she needed no answer but Liam


    replied anyway.


    " How about your husband? " He asked.


    " Fake, " She corrected him with a piercing re " It all fake Liam, you know it yourself that this marriage is fake and will be over soon enough "


    " Keep your voice down " Liam cautioned calmly but Ca went on like he hadn''t said anything


    " Speaking of which, " She continued " When exactly would we go our separate ways?? "


    He eyed her " I thought we had an agreement "


    Her nostrils red " To hell with the agreement, when am I leaving?? I can''t have you controlling my life all the time, I''m done! " With that said, she


    stomped off into the bathroom and took long in there.


    When she came out, Liam was still in the same position she left him, sitting at the foot of the bed. She ignored him and went to her side of the bed


    andid down. Of course, she wasn''t facing his side, what had he expected when he nced at her?


    "You wanna leave because you''re tired of me controlling your life? "He asked quietly but received no reply from her.


    " If that''s what you want, it''s fine, just wait a few more months and you''ll be free to go live your life the way you wanted before I trapped you into this


    marriage " He said and slept on his side of the bed too, the space that was between them could amodate three people.


    Ca felt a hirnt.of guilty, she ought


    to have corrected him when he


    implied thather consent to their ?


    marriagé&in the first ce was a


    forcedstt wasn''t his fault she knéw,


    theyhad both agreed to it sot


    wasn''t his fault, she had signed the


    contract willingly.


    Just a few more months and she


    would be out of this marriage, she


    should be happy really, but why did


    she feel an empty void in her? She


    couldn''t exin the reason. Well,


    everything would be back to normal


    when she wasinally out of this


    marriage. Nething will ever be


    normal with" you again, the voice irr >


    her head''scoffed and Ca rolled


    her eyes. Yes, everything would be


    norraal with her dummy, shecfired


    back. Well, would like to see you try


    to make it be, the voice threw pack,


    which made Ca pushed it out


    totally and concentrated on getting


    some sleep but that proved difficult.


    In the middle of the night, she went


    into her son''s nursery and watched


    him sleep. His breathing was even


    and he looked so much like Liam


    that her heart ached. So she would


    eave her sweet pea in the next few


    months, she thought sadly. As if


    Dom knew he was being watched,


    his eyes flew open in a way that


    Ca found funny so sheughed.


    Dom regarded her with sleepy eyes


    for amoment and Ca caressed


    his cheeks softly, leaning in to inhale


    his sweet baby scent.


    " Oh my sweet baby, I''m gonna have to leave you with Daddy in theing months " She whispered.


    As if Dom emderstood what she said,


    he started''to cry and Ca picked?

    on her-chest. She patted his back


    softly: and he whimpered before

    Ca carried him back into their bedroom andid him on the big space between them. She yed with his hair until she slept off.


    "You''re dumb, you know that? Why would you let go of him now that you have a child together! " Jenny shouted, trying to drum some sense into her


    friend.


    Ca shook her head " You don''t understand Jenny..."


    " Then make me understand because you''re being hard on yourself! " Jenny eximed, frustrated by her friend’s unyielding attitude.


    "It was a marriage in name only Jenny, don''t act like you''re oblivious to that when I signed the contract years back " Ca said and eyed her.


    " To hell with the contract, do you really want to leave that sweet baby all alone? " Jenny asked.


    Ca sighed " I have no choice Jenny, it was stated in the contract, I have to leave "


    "No, you do have a choice Ca, you can choose the right way now and get that contract shit out of your head " Jenny said, trying to convince her


    "You would be making a big mistake if you leave this poor boy to a nanny " Jenny red at her.


    " Jenny, he doesn''t even want me to stay! " Ca shouted, wondering she couldn''t see eye to eye on things with her friend.


    " No, he wants you to stay! Haven''t you seen the way he looks at you?! Ca this guy loves you! " Jenny shouted back
