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

Chapter 46~ I’m ready

“He’s mine. Of course, I want him,” Tessa admitted “But I won’t fight with another woman for him. If that’s the life I’ll have with him, then I would rather be single.”

Mia sagged her shoulders and pouted at Tessa’s words. Her eyes watered as she said, “I thought you would say you don’t want him so that I can have an excuse to pursue him. You will not fight any woman to be with Aaron. He will do the fighting for you. He called me and told me to behave myself because he doesn’t want to make his future wife uncomfortable. You’re so lucky.”

Tessa’s eyes widened. Warmth spread through her at Mia’s words. She looked at the young woman and asked, “He called you? Then why did you still follow me here?”

Mia sniffed and wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes away. She replied, “I was in denial. I wanted a more convincing reason to give up. I’ve always had a crush on Aaron. He once saved my

life. That’s when I fell for him.”

Mia Hendrix used to see Aaron when he used to meet up with her brother since they were childhood friends. She always thought he was handsome but one day, she was mindlessly walking on the road near her place with headsets on, listening to music. A speeding car was coming her way but she was none the wiser. She was so engrossed in the music that she ignored her surroundings.

At that time, Aaron happened to be heading towards her place to meet up with Tony. He saw the car coming at her but it was too late. She was hit and the driver sped off. Aaron was the one who took her to the hospital. He looked so cool as he carried her into the hospital like a hero who had descended from the sky. From that time, she became his top fan.

Tessa felt bad for the young woman. She reached her hand forth and grabbed Mia’s hands. She remarked, “Hey, from what you’ve said, I think you’re just a good fan of Aaron’s. You might not really be in love with him. You’re a beautiful woman, Mia. I believe you will find a man that will love and appreciate you. Just a piece of advice, don’t pursue a man who shows no interest in you. Don’t waste your time and emotions on something that will hurt you.”

Mia nodded and said, “You’re right. Look at me crying as if Aaron had led me on or promised me the world. I blame his handsomeness and awesomeness. You better guard him jealously, big sis. Several women out there have their eyes on him, ready to pounce.”

Tessa shrugged and responded nonchalantly, “I’m not worried. Due to his billionaire status and his looks, he’s bound to have plenty of women going after him. It’s up to him to chase those women. away, not me. If he gives in to temptation then he’s not meant for me. What’s mine will be mine alone and won’t make me feel insecure. If he loves me, other women won’t matter.”

A small smile curled at the corner of Tessa’s lips as she said those words. She thought about Aaron and how he had been since she returned to the city. Yes, they had a very bad start. But Aaron had proved that things could be different this time around.

It was funny that when she finally decided to put herself out there, it was with the same person. who had broken her years ago. Perhaps, deep down, she had never really stopped loving him. She was angry and hated him but he melted her heart with the way he treated her well.

When Mia left, Tessa’s mind reeled with thoughts. Even though she was confident and trusted

Aaron, she knew she couldn’t be too relaxed about it. She knew Aaron wouldn’t entertain other women but she still felt uncomfortable that they would try to shoot their shot with him.

Her eyes fell on the packs of takeaway that Aaron had sent for her and a thought occurred to her. She hadn’t visited his office since she agreed to try. How could the relationship work if Aaron was the only one making efforts?

Getting to her feet, she grabbed the takeaway packs and left her office. She found Lisa at her desk and said, “I’m going out for lunch. I’ll be back soon.”

“Didn’t Mr Wentworth send lunch for you already? Or is it not to your liking? I can order something else for you,” Lisa offered, taking out her phone.
