The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

“Speak. I’m listening.”

“Who’s Harry to you?”

Tessa scoffed. “Mr Wentworth, is this about the kids?”

“Yes. Do you even know who he is or do you just blindly trust people?”

Anger surged within Tessa when he said that. After all, she had trusted him blindly before, only to find

that she was not the one he loved.

“What is your point, Mr Wentworth?” She spat.

“My point is. Harry is Serena’s sister. Do you know that?”

Tessa felt a ringing sound in her ear. ‘Did he already know who I was when he approached me at the

hospital?”

She began to suspect Harry but then she shook her head. If he was a bad man he wouldn’t have

offered to help her mother get treatment.

“He must have not known that my kids are related to you,” she mumbled.

“Are you serious? Two of the kids look so much like me. How could he not put two and two together?

Or are you actually in love with him that you’re willing to be deceived by him?”

Tessa became livid at his words as she responded curtly. “Even if I’m in love with him. How is it your.

business?”

Aaron’s heart clenched in pain. Tessa had heard how Harry deceived her and she was still willing to be

him. Was she really into him?

“He lied to you, Tessa.”

“Well, at least he didn’t try to make me a substitute for another woman.”

Aaron felt like he had been stabbed in the heart with a sharp object. Had he really lost? Would Tessa

never be his again? How was he supposed to go on from now on?

“If there’s nothing more, please excuse me. I need to change.” Tessa said.

Aaron left the room looking like he had lost all his wealth. His children saw him and rushed towards

him.

“Daddy, what’s wrong? Why are you sad?” Reagan asked his father.

Aaron quickly composed himself and smiled at him, ruffling his hair.

“I’m just sad that I won’t be staying here with you.”

“That’s simple. Just tell Mommy that you will be sleeping in our room. She will agree!”

Aaron’s eyes lit up when he heard this. A few seconds ago he had felt lost but now, because of his son,

his fighting spirit was restored.

He would only give up on Tessa over his dead body.

Looking at his son, he bent over and whispered something in his ear.

Reagan smiled mischievously. “Count me in!”

The father and son laughed while Harry glared at them from the side. He didn’t care though. It was a

good thing that Aaron was bonding with his kids. It meant it wouldn’t be hard to get rid of them when

Tessa becomes his wife.

Aaron sat on a couch and began to play with the three kids. They were showing him their books and

what they had learnt in kindergarten so far.

“Oh, Willa, did you draw this?”

“Yes, Daddy. It’s our family.”

“This is good, Willa. Well done!”

“Nia, I can see that you’re good at colouring. None of the paintings have gone out of the lines. Well

done!” “Reagan, my son! This is wonderful. You painted the garden perfectly. Well done!”

The kids were giggling with huge grins on their faces after being praised by their father. This was the

scene that Tessa saw when she returned from changing her clothes.

Her heart felt warm and guilt crept into her. So this was what she had been depriving her kids of?

Aaron was a good father. He might be a bad partner but he was a considerate father. So attentive and

loving.

She was busy admiring the interaction between father and children when Harry’s voice brought her

back to the present.

“Are you ready to go? I must say you look ravishing.”

Aaron heard his words and raised his head to look at Tessa. His throat became dry as he drank her in.

She was in a tiny black dress that left nothing to the imagination. It hugged her figure perfectly. Her

creamy thighs were left in the open and the dress had a plunging neckline, exposing a tiny part of her

cleavage. She had curled her hair and let it flow down to one side of her shoulder. She applied red

lipstick on her lips and did a smokey eye makeup.

“Wow! Mommy, you look nice!” Willa chirped.

“You look pretty, Mommy!” Nia added with a smile on her face.

Reagan looked at his father and said in an exaggerated tone. “Wow! Mommy is beautiful! Isn’t Mommy

beautiful Daddy?”

Aaron who was lost for words gulped and replied in a daze. “She sure is.”

“Tell her, Daddy. Tell Mommy she’s beautiful-”

“Reagan!” Tessa scolded her son.

Aaron glanced at her. “He’s right. I should tell you. You look beautiful, Tessa. So dazzling that for a

moment

there, you left me speechless. You’re breathtaking.”

Tessa’s face flushed and she hurriedly walked towards the door. “Mr Wentworth, you should leave the

moment you put the children to sleep. Bye, my babies, I’ll see you tomorrow!”

“Bye, Mommy! Don’t worry about us, Daddy is here!”

Aaron’s jaw ticked when Harry threw a triumphant look at him and placed a hand on the small of

Tessa’s back, leading her out.

Anger and jealousy flared through Aaron. He never even knew he was capable of feeling this kind of

jealousy.

Tessa looked so sexy and he hated that the fucker, Harry, was the one with her.

Taking out his phone, he texted his assistant who was waiting outside in the parking lot.

[Follow those two and tell me where they are going.]

Reagan looked at his father and frowned disapprovingly.

“Daddy, do you want to be our daddy or not?”

“Of course, I want to be your daddy. I am your

daddy.”

“Then why didn’t you go with Mommy just now?”

Aaron smiled and ruffled his hair.

“I’ll follow them soon. I just want to put you to sleep and then I’ll go after your Mommy. I’ll never let

someone else become your daddy, I promise.”

Reagan smiled from ear to ear when he heard this.

“Then we should go and sleep right now,” he suggested.

Aaron carried Willa and Nia to the bedroom while Reagan followed closely. He tucked them in and read

them stories but since they were excited that their father read them stories for the first time, it took a

long time for them to fall asleep.

An hour later, Aaron breathed out in relief when the little ones finally slept off. He took out his phone

and read the text from his assistant.

Enock: [They are at Marlin’s club, Sir.]

Aaron clenched his hands into fists. He was sure Harry was up to something and it was his job to

protect Tessa and the children from him.

He tiptoed out of his children’s room and left the house. He then dialled some numbers and made a

conference call.

“The CEO himself. What’s up, Aaron?” Tony answered while Victor listened.

Graham’s line went unanswered since he was on duty at the military base.

“Do you guys want to go out for a drink? It’s on me.” Aaron offered.

“Really? This is a rare chance to spend the mighty CEO’s money. Count me in. Send me the address,”

Tony

replied.

“Yeah, me too. I’m stressed anyway.” Victor added.

Aaron cut the call and sent a group message. He clenched his hand around his phone and then he

dialled his

assistant’s line.

“Hello, Sir.”

“Investigate what Harry was up to the past five years.”

There was a menacing look in Aaron’s eyes when he cut the call. He was sure Harry’s presence in

Tessa’s life wasn’t a coincidence.

If he finds out that Harry had a hand in helping her leave, he will show him exactly who’s the boss of

Ashford

City.
