Chapter 69
Carla had her hands full with taking care of Dominion and also trying to figure out how she could engage in something meaning with the little time she had left to be his wife. They got a nanny for Dom who was the exact carbon copy of his father. They had the same hair, eyes and cheeky attitude. Jenny sometimes dropped by to help her babysit Dom while she went out with the nanny. They went back to their busy lives and little Dom grew rapidly, to become a cheerful, happy baby.
At six months, he had looked so chubby and big that one would mistook him for a baby of nine months old. He had dimples, which made him even more cuter. Everyone around him loved him and the name Baby Dom kinda stuck.
*Damn! My shoes! She shouted and went upstairs quickly to grab them. When she came back downstairs, Baby Dom looked up at her expectantly, he did that whenever he wanted to be carried but tonight wasnât it as she had a date with Jenny
She shook her head at her baby Sorry baby, not gonna work tonight, I have an appointment, Aunt Mary will take care of you well, right Mary?â Mary nodded automatically from behind her and waved a little in Domâs direction. Dom looked away, obviously not liking the idea. Carla quickly thought
of what to do
âAnd guess what, Dom? Daddy will be home soon so you can play with him if you donât wanna play with Mary, is that okay?â She said gayly, to lift her babyâs spirit.
Domâs eyes widened slightly and he grinned, a typical Blake grin that only the blood could understand.
âNow, Mom will be back soon, okay?â She said and kissed her sonâs cheeks before turning to Mary
*Take good care of my baby orâ¦â She said sternly and deliberately left her words hanging Mary shook her head quickly âYou have nothing to worry about maâam, Iâll do my bestâ
Carla nodded, kinda convinced she could trust her.
*Okay, if my husband ask you where I went, just tell him to call me, is that okay? âAnd she gave the nanny further instructions in which Mary nodded dutifully, promising to go with every one of them.
Carla glanced at her baby âBye honey, Mom will be back soon, okay?â She pecked him soundly on both cheeks and left the room quickly before his bewitching, captivating eyes made her not to leave.
Liam came back home expecting to see his wife and baby but to his utmost surprise, he saw that Mary was still there, but why? He asked himself, confused.
* Good evening sir, how are you?â Mary asked as she made her way towards him.
He managed to smile âIâm good Mary, thank you, where is my wife?â He asked, looking behind her to see his baby sleeping soundly in a carrier. He felt his mouth twitched at the corners in a smile.
He brought his attention back to Mary Carla, where is she?â
*She went out but told me to tell you to call her âShe answered.
He nodded âOkay thanks âHe muttered and went upstairs into their bedroom. Where was Carla and why did she ask him to call her when she could do that herself?
He placed a call to her and she picked on the second ring.
âHey!â She said when she picked up.
Liam winced and put the phone a little bit away from his ear because it was damn noisy where she was,
âHi, where are you?â He asked coolly and she laughed.
âMe? Iâm at a party, partying the night away with my best friend!â She said excitedly and whistled.
He stared at the wall in disbelief Youâre in a party, did I hear you correctly?? You left Dom home to go party the night away??â
âYup âShe replied nonchalantly, popping thepâ.
âSee, Iâll catch you up later, okay? I need to go, the party is getting to the heights of it!â She exclaimed and was on the verge of hanging up when he stopped her
âCarla wait!â He said urgently.
âYeah?â She asked impatiently, obviously wanted to cut the call already
*Why are you doing this to me? To Dom?â He asked quietly.
She feigned innocence What exactly did I do? Partying? Am I not allowed to?â
He sighed âNo youâre absolutely free to do whatever you want, but Carla, youâre nursing a baby and heâs not old enough to be weaned âHe tried to make
her see reason why she shouldnât do things like that but knowing Carla for how stubborn she was, she refused immediately.
âNot old enough to be weaned?? Liam, heâs five months!â She shouted in exasperation.
âTo hell with five months! Were you weaned when you were five months?! âHe fired back and it seemed she was at loss for words.
âSee I have to go Liam, weâll talk when I get home She said and hung up before he could protest.
âDamnit!â He groaned in frustration and anger before he went into the nursery to tuck his son in properly
Did you have a fight with Liam? Jenny asked curiously from beside her. They were in the tavi that would take Carla home first before Jenny
She shook her head âNo Heck, I donât knowâ
Jenny placed her hands on hers âRelax baby a fight between couple is normal so do not punish yourself. hmmn? *
Carla glanced sideways to study her friendâs profile âYou think so?â
Jenny grinned I know so, girl. Weâll see later, huh?â She asked as the cab pulled into a stop before the penthouse and she waved at Jenny before going
