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

Chapter 14

Chapter 14″ Trial date

Tessa had left work early. For some reason, her heart kept racing and her stomach was in a knot.

Deep down, she was worried that Aaron had already made his move and found her children. So she quickly returned home to check on them after they knocked off from school, just to be sure.

When she entered their apartment, she found the children writing their homework on the carpet in the living room while Elena was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Willa was the first to run towards her mother.

“Mommy! You’re back!”

“Tessa spread her arms wide and bent over to carry her daughter.

“Yes, sweetie. Mommy is back early today.”

Reagan and Nia followed suit and each wrapped their arms around her waist.

“We missed you, Mommy,” they chorused.

Tessa’s heart calmed down when she saw that her kids were safe.

“I missed you more, my babies. Come, show me what you are doing,” she said, leading them towards the books on the carpet.

Willa picked up her book and showed her proudly.

“Mommy, look. I drew our family,” she uttered sweetly, showing her mother the family of six on the paper.

Tessa smiled. “This is very nice, Willa. Well done. I can see your grandma here, your brother and sister and myself. You also drew Uncle Harry!”

Willa shook her head when she heard that.

“No, Mommy. That’s not Uncle Harry, that’s Daddy.”

Tessa’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at the drawing again. It wasn’t a well-done drawing. But the man

was in a poorly drawn black suit and had rough hair. He was also the tallest one.

Her eyebrows knitted as she stared at her daughter.

“Willa, why did you draw this man?”

“The teacher said I should draw Daddy too. So I drew him, Doesn’t he look like Daddy?”

Reagan glanced at his mother and frowned. “Mommy, didn’t you say Daddy was in Ashford City? When is he

coming to see us? I didn’t draw him because I don’t know what he looks like.”

“Mommy, why doesn’t Daddy want to see us? Does he hate us?” It was Nia who asked this time.

Tessa felt like someone was squeezing her heart.

She went down on her knees and engulfed all three of her children in a hug.

*Do you really want a Daddy?” She asked, her heart clenching at the word.

The little ones nodded.

“Yes, Mommy. We want a Daddy. Our friends talk about how their daddles take them to theme parks and how they play with them, but we don’t have a daddy to talk about at school,” Reagan muttered.

Tessa was filled with guilt. Her children wanted a father but she couldn’t just force parenthood on Aaron when he never wanted it.
