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

Chapter 26-Fighting for her

“Dad, what did you say to Tessa?” Aaron yelled angrily as he faced his father.

Edmund was reading a newspaper in the living room. When he heard Aaron’s question, he glanced up at him and replied nonchalantly, “I told her the truth.”

Aaron frowned, his chest felt stuffy and irritation rushed through him because his father was taking the situation lightly. He glared at him and questioned, “What truth?”

“What else? I told her you’re marrying Serena and that you two will raise the kids.”

Aaron felt like he had been stabbed when his father’s words reached his ears. His face flushed and his chest heaved as anger washed over him.

His heart ached for Tessa and when his eyes landed on the chequebook on the coffee table, he felt a huge lump in his throat.

He pointed at the chequebook and asked with fury laced in his voice. “Did you offer her money? Why, Dad? Why would you insult her like that? Do you know how hard it’s been for me to even reach this point where I can have a normal conversation with her? Do you know I’ve been working hard every day to reduce her anger and hatred for me? How could you waste my efforts like this? You’ve just taken me back to square one!”

Edmund folded his newspaper and slammed it on the small table next to the couch.

“I just did you a favor! That woman doesn’t love you! Are you trying to force her to marry you when she doesn’t feel the same? On the other hand, Serena loves you-”

“Don’t try to make it sound like you did it for me! You’re just scared of losing your precious shares. How could stupid shares be more important than your family? Do you think my kids would be happy if they were forced to separate from their mother? I don’t want my children to hate me!” Edmund sighed. He clenched his hands into fists and looked away from his son. The shares were indeed important to him. After all, he had started the Company with his dear late wife. Why would he hand it over to strangers?

The only reason he had agreed for it to be as a compensation for a breach of contract was because he thought Aaron was serious about Serena. So he was confident he wouldn’t have to let go of some of his shares.

However, after Aaron told him he had children, Edmund took time to think things through. He noticed that Aaron was adamant about being with the mother of his grandchildren so he decided to test her and see if she loved him genuinely.

He sighed, looking up at the golden chandelier in the ceiling.

“I just want you to have what I had with your mother, son. Money is not everything. Without love, marriage will feel like hell Tessa doesn’t love you Do you think you don’t deserve to be loved back? You’re my precious son. My only son. I would rather you marry someone who loves you to death rather than someone who doesn’t love you at all,” Edmund stated and then turned to face his

son.

“Do you want to force yourself on someone who doesn’t want you? Do you want to be miserable?

When you’re not loved back, all these riches will feel like a huge block which is stuck in your throat. It will suffocate you I thought Serena is the best choice.”

Aaron was still pissed off but when he heard his father’s words, he calmed down slightly. He couldn’t argue with him anymore but he didn’t shy away from requesting, “Please, next time, don’t treat the woman I love that way. I love Tessa. I’ll fight for her until she loves me back even if it takes eternity.”

He turned to leave but Edmund’s words stopped him in his tracks.
