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

Chapter 20* A drink

Tessa was in the kitchen when Harry entered and stood too close to her, startling her. She jumped and dropped the pot she was holding before placing her hand on the left side of her chest.

“God, Harry, you gave me a scare.” She said as she bent over to pick up the pot.

It was because he was silent when he walked in and went to stand behind her from nowhere. Suddenly having someone behind her made her heart jump and she freaked out.

Harry stepped back, he ran a hand through his hair sheepishly whole apologising. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“It’s ok,” Tessa responded and returned to what she was doing. “Why are you here?”

She didn’t remember inviting him over. Just showing up at her place unannounced was awkward.

Harry frowned but Tessa didn’t see his expression. ‘Is she asking because she didn’t want me to see that she had let Aaron into her house?’

“I came to see you so that you can accompany me tonight,” he proposed.

“Oh, where do you want to go? You know I don’t leave the house at night unless it’s necessary.”

“It’s my birthday today, Tessa. Or have you forgotten? I always remember yours.”

Tessa’s eyes widened and guilt crept into her. She whipped her head around to look at him, saying, “I’m so sorry. I was just overwhelmed with everything. Aaron got the kids without my permission and I had to go to his office to take them back. The day has been stressful. Happy birthday, Harry.”

When he heard this, Harry finally understood how Aaron found himself at Tessa’s house. He breathed out in relief knowing she still didn’t want him.

“Do you want me to do something about him? I can call the police and have them chase him away,” he offered.

Tessa shook her head. “It’s alright. He’s the kids’ father after all. Let them bond. Besides, Aaron practically owns this City. Who would be brave enough to arrest him?”

Harry clenched his hands into fists. A menacing look flashed through his eyes as hatred brewed within him.

Those kids! All they wanted was their real father. What’s so good about him?!

He was angry but his face still had a bright smile as he talked to Tessa.

“How about you accompany me for a drink tonight? It’s my birthday and I don’t want to be alone.” Tessa furrowed her brows. She wiped her hands with the handtowel and turned around to look at him. “Shouldn’t you have dinner for your birthday or something? Why would you go clubbing during the week?” “I’ve just been stressed lately. Please, Tessa. You’re the only one who can make me feel better.”

Tessa sighed. She felt bad and decided to accompany him. ‘It’s only a drink.”

“Fine. But we won’t stay out late. Willa cries for me in the middle of the night.”

Harry smiled and began to help her set the table.

During the process of the dinner, Tessa allowed Aaron to stay with the kids and told him she was going out

with Harry.

Harry smirked at Aaron whose jaw clenched so hard it looked like it was about to snap. He was clearly

enjoying Aaron’s predicament. He may have found his way back into Tessa’s life through the kids, but the one she will be spending time with was him.

Anger bubbled up within Aaron and he glanced at Tessa, requesting, “Can I speak to you after dinner? It’s

important.”

Tessa raised an eyebrow. “Unless it’s about the kids, I don’t want to discuss anything with you right now.”

“It’s about the kids and their safety,” Aaron said through gritted teeth.
