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

Chapter 16″ I’m a father

“Miss Hilton! Miss Hilton! Are you alright?”

Lisa’s voice brought Tessa back to the present. It had been an hour since Aaron rushed out of her office as if his life depended on it. All she knew was that his daughter called and he dropped everything and went to be there for her.

Tessa didn’t mean to feel bad. She just couldn’t help but wonder if Aaron would show the same love to her three children who longed for a father’s love if he knew about them.

She ended up zoning in and out the entire time during the meeting as they planned the week’s schedules.

“What is wrong with you? You’ve been like this from the time that jerk, Aaron, left. Don’t tell me seeing him brought back your old feelings for him?” It was Michelle who remarked this time.

Tessa sighed and shook her head. Love? She didn’t know what that was anymore.

Smiling at her friend, she explained, “I just got disturbed. He signed a contract with us so I’ll be seeing him a lot. I’m worried he will see the kids.”

Michelle let out a sigh of relief knowing Tessa wasn’t still in love with the man who broke her heart. She smiled and assured her. “Don’t worry. He wouldn’t do anything with me here. My family has ties with the military.”

Tessa raised her eyebrow at her. “You mean the ties you broke when you escaped from getting engaged with the pretext of studying overseas?”

Michelle rolled her eyes. “We are still family friends. I just couldn’t marry a military man. They are busy all the time. And often away from home. I don’t want to live like a widow or worry all the time if my husband will return or not.”

Tessa chuckled. “It may not be like that at all. You didn’t even give the man a chance. How did you know you would be lonely? And what if you just missed out on your soulmate?”

Michelle sighed. She had watched too many movies and heard too many stories. She didn’t want to suffer in

her marriage. Those who were in the military were away eighty per cent of the time. She wasn’t willing to risk

her happiness. However, she frowned at Tessa’s last words.

“It doesn’t matter. I can get a queue of potential soulmates at any time,” she said haughtily.

Indeed, Michelle was a very beautiful woman. Average height, with strawberry blonde hair and grey eyes. Tessa knew finding another man would be a piece of cake for her.

“You shouldn’t have escaped that way though. The man was probably hurt,” Tessa remarked and Michelle’s smile suddenly dropped. She had been feeling guilty for what she did for a long time.

Seeing that her best friend was getting uncomfortable with the topic, Tessa decided to change it.

“Ok, we have a big client now but our other clients need attention as well. Let’s plan on how we are going to tackle this problem.”

Meanwhile, Aaron rushed to the school Willa had told him to go to.

He didn’t know why he went there. But since the little girl had asked for help, he couldn’t just ignore her. Besides, for some reason, he felt restless and annoyed that she was being bullied.

“Sir, we are here,” Enock announced when he parked outside the school.

They alighted from the car and entered the schoolyard, heading to the principal’s office.

At the same time, Willa was crying in the principal’s office.
