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

Chapter 25-Déjà vu

“What is it, son? Do you think I want to bully the young woman?” Edmund asked his son with a deep frown on his face.

It was because Aaron had defensively asked him why he wanted to talk to Tessa that Edmund

responded with his own accusatory question.

Aaron furrowed his brows. His father was a strict business man but he was a good man. Although sometimes, as people grow older they begin to get stubborn.

If it was back then when he was young, all Aaron had to do was say the word and his father would

have moved heaven and earth to cancel that contract.

He glanced at his father and remarked, “I didn’t say you would bully her, Dad. I just want to know what business you have with her. If there’s something you want to know, I’m in a better position to give you the answers you seek.”

Edmund’s frown deepened and the air around him turned frosty as he glared at his son. Clicking his tongue, he spat, “Do you think I’m a fool? I want to talk to her because she’s the only one who’s

suitable to give me the information I want.”

Tessa saw that they were about to fight so she decided to stop them.

She peered at Aaron and said. “It’s ok, Aaron. I’m sure your father just wants to know more about

the children. Go and show the kids the horses. I’ll be fine.”

The space between Aaron’s eyebrows tightened. A sense of unease settled in his stomach and he didn’t want to leave Tessa alone, even for one minute.

However, the kids tugged at his pants impatiently,

“Let’s go, Daddy! We want to see the horses! I want to ride one!” Willa chirped.

“Yes, Daddy. Don’t worry about Mommy, she’s with Grandpa.”

Aaron had a conflicted look on his face but Tessa nodded at him in assurance. He then glanced at his father and mouthed, ‘be nice’, before leaving with the kids.

Edmund clicked his tongue again when he saw this. He looked at Tessa and commented. “It must have been hard to raise three children on your own. How did you cope?”

At his question, Tessa briefly took a trip down memory lane. She remembered how it was hard to feed three babies at once. Sometimes, it was hard to find money for milk and she often asked Harry for help.

That vulnerability was what made her take a course in architectural design and it was the right motivation that pushed her to work hard.

She didn’t want to find herself in a situation where she was broke and not able to take care of her kids. Her suffering was what fueled her passion to be an independent woman.

Her eyes stung when she recalled the painful memories but she quickly blinked back her tears. She might have gone through hell on earth, but that situation was what made her grow into the woman she was today.
