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

Chapter 43~ Long time no see

Michelle ran out to the garden, her heart galloping violently against her ribcage. She placed a hand on the left side of her chest as she breathed heavily.

‘I can’t believe Graham is Aaron’s friend! What a small world! How do I face him now?’

The last time she saw him was several years ago when he had just joined the military. It was during a family dinner when they were told they were promised to each other. Michelle didn’t want to get married to a man who would be in the military his whole life so she left the City before they could get engaged

They had never seen each other since then despite their parents still being friends. Graham didn’t even make any effort to follow up on why she left before the engagement could take place.

Michelle assumed he too didn’t want to get married. But seeing him again made her heart strangely skip a beat. He looked so mature and handsome. He was built like a tank and she was sure he was ripped under that suit that was a little tight on his body.

everyone in the lounge. She sighed and stood in the garden, unable to go back in. Did Graham recognise her? He surely did. Their eyes had met and even though his face was devoid of any

emotions, she knew he had recognised her.

The knot in her stomach tightened as she thought about what she would say to him. Should she explain why she ran away? Does he even care?

At the same time, Aaron was introducing his friends to his new family.

“This is Reagan, my first-born son and little prince. This is Nia, my second princess and then Willa

my third princess,” he said and then looked at the triplets, “Kids, greet your uncles. This is Uncle Tony, Uncle Graham and Uncle Victor.”

The kids smiled and said in unison. “Nice to meet you uncles!”

The three men smiled and took the time to carry the kids. After they had exchanged a few words,
