Chapter 24- We need to talk

“This is where your mother used to work. She used to sit at that desk And then she would come to my office to give me reports or bring me lunch. Your mother is very hardworking”

Aaron explained to the kids while showing them around the assistant’s office at his company. It was already past working hours so the company was quiet and empty save for the security guards

After having pizza and ice cream, Aaron gave the kids a tour of the City. He showed them the amusement park that is run by the Wentworth group and said, “This is where your Mommy and I will be bringing you to have fun.”

The kids wanted to go in because the lights from the Ferris wheel were attractive but it was dark and not a good idea for children to play when night had fallen. Aaron promised to bring them during the day.

“Can we also go on the rollercoaster ride, Daddy?” Reagan had asked.

Aaron ruffled his hair and agreed instantly, “We shall go on each and every ride that you want.”

He then took them to the hotel, the cosmetics branch and finished with the headquarters. Aaron wanted to show the kids where it all started. His love story with Tessa started at the Company and it was a special memory for him, despite how it ended.

Reagan looked up at Tessa and asked, “Mommy, you used to work at Daddy’s Company?”

Tessa was looking around her former workplace, feeling a sense of nostalgia. She recalled how at some point, she loved her job very much and did her very best to help with the company’s

progress.

Hearing her son’s question, she glanced at him and nodded, replying, “Yes, baby. This is where I used to work until I left and decided to start my own company.”

“So now you’re a boss like Daddy? But your office is small. It’s not big like Daddy’s,” Reagan remarked and then he looked at his father. “Daddy, you should build Mommy a big company like this one.”

Tessa’s heart jumped at Reagan’s words and she ended up scolding her son, “Reagan, who taught you how to make such outrageous demands? Mommy’s office is just fine.”

Aaron glanced at his son and then at Tessa. He thought about how his son was right. Tessa had started her own company and it needed the right investment for it to grow and get listed.

He didn’t take long to make a decision. Tessa was the woman he loved and he had promised to give her the world. While looking at her, he declared, “Consider it done.”

Tessa frantically waved her hand in the air, refusing, “No, please. I don’t need something big like. this. Don’t listen to Reagan. He’s just a child”

“But he’s right. The mother of my children deserves the best.”

However, Tessa wasn’t comfortable. She seriously looked at Aaron and stated, “Please promise me you won’t try to build a company for me. I would like to grow and build it myself.”

Aaron noticed how this was important to her so he nodded. “Ok, I’ll step aside for this only. But I’ll take care of everything else. The kids’ school, the house and all the bills. Let me take care of you”

Tessa smiled but she didn’t reply. They continued to have a tour of the Wentworth group until Willa dozed off in Aaron’s arms and they decided to call it a night

Reagan and Nia were excited and wanted to explore more but Tessa put her foot down

“You need to rest. Kids shouldn’t stay up late,” she said and they obediently followed her to the car.

They were using Aaron’s cat since Enock had driven Tessa’s car back to her apartment.

When they were almost home, Aaron gave Tessa a sideways glance before asking “I told my

father about the kids and he wants to meet them tomorrow Is that ok with you?”

Tessa gazed at him, appreciating that he was asking if she was ok with him taking the kids to his family
