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

Chapter 15″ A child

“Are you having fun?” Harry asked Tessa as they sat in a restaurant, having dinner.

Soft music was playing in the background and the dim lighting was casting a romantic ambience upon the place.

However, all this didn’t make Tessa feel butterflies in her stomach. She felt uncomfortable and she couldn’t wait to get out of there.

They had watched a movie and then went for a walk in the park. Everything was planned well but the problem was, Harry and Tessa lacked chemistry.

There was literally nothing to talk about between them. Most of the time, they would fall into an awkward silence. Tessa was bored to death.

She forced a smile and picked at her mash on the plate with her fork.

“Yeah… this is a great place. Thank you for bringing me here,” she said, trying her best to look like she was having fun.

Harry had put in a lot of effort for that day and she didn’t want to disappoint him.

Hearing her words, Harry smirked. In his mind, winning Tessa’s heart was going to be easy since he thought she was desperate to find a father for her children.

He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “I’m glad you’re happy.”

They fell into silence again until they finished the meal. Harry drove Tessa back home in another awkward

silence and walked her up to the door.

When she was about to open the door, he suddenly snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her close.

“What’s the rush?” He whispered while looking into her eyes and he began to lean forward to claim her lips.

Tessa’s mind was in turmoil. She thought dating Harry would be a good thing for her children. He had stayed. by her side for five years and proved to be responsible. But she just couldn’t see herself getting intimate with

him.

At first, she wanted to let him do what he wanted and see if she could tolerate it. But suddenly, her stomach churned when his lips almost landed on hers.

She pushed him away like he burned her. “I-I’m sorry, Harry. I don’t think I can do this.”

With those words, she ran into the house and banged the door in his face.

A malicious look flitted through Harry’s eyes as he glared at the closed door. He clenched his fists and resisted the urge to punch the door..

“Is she still in love with Aaron?” He questioned internally, anger surging within him.

His hatred towards Aaron suddenly went up a notch. If he wasn’t his sister’s love interest, he would have dealt with him already.

At the same time, Tessa ran to her bedroom quietly since the children were already sleeping. The knot in her stomach tightened as she sighed, resting her back against the door.

It seemed romance wasn’t for her after all. She just couldn’t bring herself to feel something more than friendship for Harry. There was no spark between them.

The weekend passed by in a quick blur. Tessa was in her office on a Monday morning when Lisa called about a big client wanting to speak with her.

“Really? Let him through, Lisa. Did he mention which Company he belongs to?” Tessa asked excitedly.

He said he is from T&A properties limited,” Lisa responded through the
