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

Chapter 42 The runaway bride

“Tessa? I’m waiting for your answer,” Aaron said

A few minutes had passed since Tessa saw the words outside but she was yet to say anything. He was waiting with bated breath for her to say something; when she kept quiet, he couldn’t help but remind her.

Tessa broke out of her daze and dragged in a sharp breath. She turned to face Aaron and said, ” When you cast me aside five years ago, I felt like my world was crashing down on me. I had loved you with my all but you didn’t. You took me for granted, Aaron. I was the only one putting effort into the relationship. It felt like I was in the relationship alone. Your heart was out of reach. You were emotionally unavailable. I was in love with you but that love was too painful. I don’t want to go through that again.”

Aaron’s stomach twisted at her words. He swallowed painfully as he once again regretted his actions. He knew it wouldn’t be easy for Tessa to forget about the past but he thought they were making progress. He admitted that back then, he took Tessa for granted thinking she would always be there.

When he was supposed to love and cherish her, he ended up hurting her instead. In the end, she left. Unfortunately, that was when he realised how much she meant to him. It is said that you never know the worth of what you have until you lose it.

Aaron had learnt the hard way. He lost Tessa For years, he searched for her and when he couldn’t/ find her, the hole in his heart became bigger. He felt lost and life had no meaning. Knowing what it feels like to lose Tessa, Aaron never wanted to make the same mistakes again.

He was about to plead with Tessa when she spoke again.

“Do you promise not to hurt me again?” She asked, looking at him with watery eyes.

Aaron’s heart raced and he grabbed Tessa’s shoulders. Gazing into her eyes, he said excitedly, “I will never hurt you again, Tessa, I promise. I’ll treat you like the Queen you are. I’ll put you first in everything and I’ll love you with all my heart and soul.”

Tessa smiled. She searched for something in Aaron’s eyes and when she saw that he was being sincere, she nodded and said, “I would like to try.”

Hearing her words, Aaron’s heart soared. He was over the moon and his jaws almost hurt from smiling too widely.

He cupped Tessa’s face and leaned down to kiss her but she placed her index finger on his lips. and pushed him back gently.

“I’m not done. I would like to try but no kissing for now. Let’s try to date without any form of intimacy. I don’t want sex to cloud my judgement again,” she proposed.

At her words, Aaron furrowed his eyebrows. He asked, “Do you still not trust me?”

Tessa shook her head and replied, “It’s not that I don’t trust you but I want us to take things slow. I’m scared of falling in love again so it’s not something I want to go all in at once. Let’s gradually

fall for each other, ok?”

Aaron sighed. He had been waiting for a long time for Tessa to agree to be with him again. Now that she had agreed, there were a lot of things he wanted to do with her. He wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her like there was no tomorrow. He wanted to make love to her and claim her-
