Chapter 19″ An alliance

Aaron narrowed his eyes at Harry. The air around him turned icy cold as their auras crashed.

The temperature in the room became frosty as the two men glared at each other.

Aaron had been curious about who Harry was but he didn’t expect it to be Serena’s brother.

‘Has he known that I have kids all along?”

Aaron was shocked, to say the least. Harry was someone he would meet at business gatherings throughout the past five years. Surely, it was not a coincidence that he knew Tessa. He must have known about their relationship as well.

“What are you doing here?” Aaron questioned with a hard edge to his tone.

Harry was stunned after coming face to face with Aaron. He didn’t expect to meet him at Tessa’s place since he knew Tessa didn’t want anything to do with him.

He had decided to continue trying his luck with Tessa, so he bought a bouquet of roses and came to see her. After being questioned by Aaron, he too narrowed his eyes dangerously and responded, “I’m here to see Tessa. I’m pursuing her as you can see.”

A flare of jealousy rushed through Aaron. He clenched his fists as he stopped himself from saying more since the kids were present.

Reagan suddenly looked at Harry, “Uncle Harry, have you seen our daddy?”

Harry forced a smile at Reagan but his jaw was clenching. He fought the urge to snap at Reagan and replied, ” Oh, the same daddy who was never there for you? Yes, I’ve seen him.”

He hoped to sow discord between Aaron and the kids. However, the kids didn’t care about such matters. To them, they had found their daddy and they were happy.

Of course, Aaron picked up on what Harry was trying to do. He gritted his teeth and glared at him coldly, his jaw clenching.

“How about we talk outside?” Aaron suggested.

Harry had something to say too so he nodded his head before agreeing. “Sure.”

As the two imposing men walked out of the house, Willa’s voice reached their ears.

“Daddy, don’t go! You have to read me a bedtime story!”

Aaron stopped by the door and whipped his head around to look at his children. Smiling warmly, he promised, I’m not going anywhere until I read you a story.”

“Yes! I can’t wait!” Willa chirped.

Meanwhile, Harry’s eyes turned cold. He had been wasting his energy on trying to please the kids and even then, they were still reserved around him. Aaron came from nowhere and easily won their hearts.

Blood is thicker than water indeed. No matter what Harry did, he could never be the same as Aaron who didn’t
