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

Chapter 7″ New life

Hours later, the plane finally landed on the soil of Whitpalm City and Tessa let out a sigh of relief.

It was only when she got down from the plane that reality sank in.

“I’ve really left. I’ll never see Aaron again.”

A wave of pain rippled through her heart. It surely wasn’t easy to leave someone she’s loved for two years. Unlike him, she had true feelings for him and she didn’t expect to get rid of them overnight. It will hurt… for a long time.

She made to walk forward when she suddenly swayed on her feet and a pair of manly arms held her, preventing her from making an embarrassing fall.

She looked up and found herself looking into a pair of golden-brown eyes.

Harry had rushed to her aid just now.

“Careful,” he murmured, his voice raspy.

Tessa blinked several times and straightened herself up hastily. Glancing at Harry she awkwardly said, “Thank you.”

She then caught up to her mother who gave her a knowing smile. “Tell me the truth, Tessa. Is he your boyfriend?”

Tessa’s eyes grew bigger than dinner plates at her mother’s insinuation.

“Not at all! I don’t even know him, Mom. He’s just a good samaritan.”

In the meantime, Harry’s lips twitched when he heard what Tessa labelled him as.

‘A good samaritan? He sneered silently. ‘Oh, baby girl, you have no idea.’ .

He glanced at his hands and rubbed them, recalling how an odd sensation rushed through him when he held Tessa just now. It was as if he could still feel the softness of her skin on his palms.

His eyes trailed to her frame and something flickered through them. She didn’t really look like his sister. In fact, apart from the hair and colour of their eyes, there was nothing similar about them.

Where his sister was proud and obnoxious, Tessa was kind and humble.

Aaron didn’t know he had a gem with him. But since Harry’s sister’s happiness was at stake, he had to do

everything in his power to make sure Aaron never sets his sight on Tessa again.

A thought flashed through his mind and he smirked as he followed the two women. ‘I think I can work from Whitpalm City for a while.”

Tessa’s eyes widened when Harry took them to an apartment he had leased for them. It was a simple modern three-bedroom apartment but it looked expensive.

She turned to face the man and shook her head. “This is too much, Mr Winston. A one-bedroom house will do

for us.”

Harry was already helping a great deal. She didn’t want to owe him a lot.

“Don’t worry about it. Everyone in the program has an apartment like this. And please, Tessa, call me Harry,” Harry stated, flashing her his killer smile and she felt her ears burn.

Why did she suddenly feel like Harry was being more than friendly to her? Still, she bit her lower lip and looked around the apartment.

“I still think-”
