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

Chapter 12 Didn’t change for you

Tessa’s heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw the man in front of her. Her breath caught in her throat and her stomach knotted- memories of how he treated her years ago flashed through her mind.

‘What is he doing here?” Her face was devoid of any emotion but she silently asked herself that question.

Of course, she knew that she would bump into him one day since he was from Ashford City. She just didn’t expect it to be so soon.

Deciding to ignore him, she continued to walk like nothing happened but just when she was about to pass. Aaron grabbed her arm.

“Tessa, can’t you see me?”

A wave of anger washed over Tessa and she roughly shrugged Aaron’s hand off.

“I am not blind, Mr Wentworth. I just didn’t think there was a need for us to acknowledge each other,” she said coldly.

Aaron’s heart sank at her obvious hostility. He tried to swallow the lump in his throat. He was too shocked. After all, the woman he’s been looking for was standing in front of him but she looked like she hated him.

“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you. For years…”

Tessa frowned at this but her eyes suddenly trailed to the platinum ring on Aaron’s ring finger and her heart grew cold.

“There’s no need for you to look for me, Mr Wentworth. We are strangers now.”

It was because Tessa thought the ring on Aaron’s finger was for his marriage to Serena. She didn’t want to be seen associating with him.

She made to move and when Aaron saw this, he panicked. He had expected Tessa to not want anything to do with him but it was worse than he thought.

She was like a vicious lioness protecting her cubs.

Aaron suddenly grabbed her arm again and pulled her in for a hug. His voice shook as he said, “I finally found

you, my love. I missed you so much, Tessa. You have no idea.”

Tessa didn’t expect him to hug her so she was caught off guard and Aaron managed to engulf her in a hug. She could smell his musky cologne and feel how ripped his chest was.

Regardless, his words brought her back to reality. She pushed him away and landed a hot slap on his face.

“Please respect yourself, Mr Wentworth!” She hissed.

She wanted to remind him of his marital status but she had no time or energy for that. This man had nothing. to do with her now.

Aaron was taken aback when Tessa slapped him. A complex emotion rushed through him as he looked at her.

Her eyes were cold, empty even. They had no emotion. She was once a sweet woman but now, she couldn’t

Tessa suddenly chuckled darkly. She was already irritated when he hugged her just now.

She was livid.
