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

Chapter 23- Edmund Wentworth

“Aaron, come home this instant!” Edmund Wentworth shouted through the phone while talking to

his son

Aaron frowned.

“What is it? Is it important? I have work to do,” he responded lazily while seated at the back of his

car.

He was on his way back from having lunch with Tessa and he was happy that he had moved from being her enemy to being her friend.

“I want to talk to you about the shares. I’m thinking about what to do with them. You’re my only heir but you don’t even visit me. Why should I give them to you?”

Aaron sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew his father was just being dramatic. Since he also wanted to tell him about the kids, he agreed to go home, “I’ll be there shortly.”

He then instructed Enock, “Head to the Wentworth’s mansion.”

“Yes, Sir. I wanted to report my findings about the assignment you gave me. Harry had been working from Whitpalm although he used to show up here for business seminars. He had included Miss Hilton’s mother in a clinical trial. Apart from separating you two, he hadn’t done anything to harm the family of five.”

Aaron narrowed his eyes. He didn’t believe Harry was the type to do something so selflessly without expecting anything in return.

“Have our men keep their eyes on him. I don’t trust him,” he ordered.

“Yes, Sir.”

It didn’t take long for them to reach the mansion and Aaron alighted from the car. He entered the

house and went straight to his father’s study.

When he walked in, he found a cup of his favorite coffee waiting for him.

Edmund glanced at his son and then his eyes lowered to the seat opposite him, “Take a seat.”

Aaron did as told and took a sip of the coffee. He then sat back and stared at his father, saying, “I’m here, Dad. Tell me why you really wanted to see me ”

Edmund took out the contract he had signed with the Winstons and pushed it towards Aaron.

“Have you forgotten about this? What do you think you’re doing? Do you want the company to fall

in the Winston’s hands?”

Aaron glanced at the contract nonchalantly but he didn’t pick it up. He continued to drink his coffee, completely unfazed.

“I’m talking to you! Why are you so stubborn?!” Edmund shouted in a stern voice.

He maybe be sixty but he was still strong. His back was straight and he too oozed power and dominance. He was like an older version of Aaron. Only, his dark brown hair had grey streaks and his blue eyes had started to lose their glow.

Aaron arched an eyebrow at his father.

“Was Serena here?” He questioned.

Anger surged through Edmund. He hit his palm on the mahogany table and spat, “That’s beside the point! When are you going to honor your promise? I heard you banned her from the company and stopped her endorsements.”

“She deserved it.”

“You'” Edmund was almost breathing out fire from anger. “I’m going to set a wedding date for the two of you. You had wanted to marry her but now you’re dilly-dallying. How are we going to look

like to the Winstons? You shall marry Serena in two months!”

Aaron scoffed, he put his cup down before replying, “Are you going to tie me and drag me to the altar? I’m not marrying her, Dad. I already have someone I love and she’s the mother of my

children?”

Edmund’s eyes grew big and round.

“What did you say? Children? What children?”
