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

Chapter 44~ Jealous

Mia Hendrix walked into the hall of the imperial hotel and her eyes searched for the man she

came to see that day.

When she found him on the dancefloor, her eyes lit up but a flare of jealousy rushed through her when she saw him dancing with another woman. He was looking at her as if she was the most precious thing in the world to him.

‘So it’s true there’s a woman that Aaron likes? What about me? I’m meant to be his wife.’

Tony had told her Aaron had a woman and three children when she just returned from overseas

but she refused to believe it.

She stayed on the sides, watching Aaron and Tessa dance and flirt with each other. When they were done, she called out to Aaron and threw herself into his arms.

Aaron was momentarily stunned but then he quickly reacted and smoothly avoided Mia’s embrace, his eyes falling on Tessa.

She was looking at him with a cold expression and he couldn’t tell what she was thinking. His stomach twisted as he stepped away from Mia, keeping her at arm’s length.

“Tessa, this is Mia, Tony’s young sister. She’s like a little sister to me,” Aaron hurriedly explained, not wanting Tessa to misunderstand.

However, Mia furrowed her eyebrows and exclaimed, “I’m not your sister, Aaron! I don’t want to be your sister!”

Aaron narrowed his eyes at her and she instantly stopped talking. He then snaked an arm around Tessa’s waist and introduced her, “This is Tessa. She’s my wife and the mother of my children.”

This was not the first time Aaron was introducing Tessa as his wife. But having him say it in front of a beautiful woman who clearly had a crush on him, Tessa’s heart did a somersault.

Aaron’s words made her feel giddy, she ended up blushing profusely like a teenager.

Mia’s eyes widened at Aaron’s words. She trailed her eyes to Aaron’s hand and when she didn’t see a ring she smiled and said, “I don’t see a ring on your finger. It means you’re still available. I’ll fight. for you, Aaron!”

Anger surged through Aaron. In as much as he treated Mia like his sister, he wouldn’t let her do as she pleases and disrespect Tessa. He squinted his eyes at her and scolded, “Have some self- respect and respect the woman I’m with. If you didn’t come to wish our children well, please leave.

Tony noticed what was happening, he quickly approached them and grabbed his sister, clamping a hand over her mouth before she could say more things that would anger Aaron.

He glanced at Tessa and uttered, “I’m sorry, Tessa. My sister is a bit drunk. I’ll take her home

now.”

Tessa nodded but she didn’t say anything. For her, this was Aaron’s problem and she was glad he had dealt with it before it got out of hand.

Aaton led Tessa out of the hotel while saying, “I’m sorry about that. I didn’t know she would cause such a scene Would you like to watch the kids as they play outside? We can give Enock a chance to mingle since he’s been minding them with the bodyguards.”

Tessa agreed, forcing a smile. She replied, “Sure. It was getting stuffy in here anyway.”
