Chapter 49~ Love language

“Don’t worry about them, they will be protected,” Graham promised on the phone. “A team is patrolling outside the Wentworth mansion right now.”

Aaron had been planning a getaway with Tessa for a while. However, with the recent threat, he had to come up with strong security measures so that they could go out and have a peace of

mind.

He sighed in relief and said, “Thanks, man. I owe you one. By the way, I gave your number to Tessa to give to Michelle. Don’t be surprised if she calls you.”

There was a brief silence before Graham responded, “I know. She called me. But I didn’t answer. I didn’t know what to say.”

Aaron furrowed his eyebrows. He asked, “What’s wrong with you man? I think she likes you.”

“I can’t entertain her, man. You know how my job is. I can never be fully there in her life. because I’m always busy. I wouldn’t want to impose a life of loneliness on her,” Graham. replied through the phone.

Aaron pinched the bridge of his nose. He felt bad for his friend and suggested, “You’re letting your fears get in the way of your happiness. If you like the woman, go for her. Don’t be like me who realised Tessa was the love of my life after she left.”

“I don’t know, man. Anyway, I got to go. My team will protect your family so you and my sister -in-law should have fun this weekend without any worries.”

“Don’t do anything that you might regret. If you want something, go for it. Consequences be da mned,” Aaron tried to convince his friend.

When Graham cut the call, the space between Aaron’s eyebrows wrinkled. Graham had grown up with an almost absent father. Being a man of high status in the military, his father was often away from home. So it was understandable that he would have issues with committing to someone having seen his mother spend most days alone.

Aaron was thinking about how best he could help his friend when the limo he was in came to a stop.>

The chauffeur dropped the partition and announced, “Sir, we’ve arrived.”

Aaron was brought back to the present. A small smile curved on his lips as the thought of spending the weekend with Tessa excited him. He replied, “Ok. Thank you, George. Now wait here. I’m going to get my Queen.”

George smiled and nodded. He was the one in charge of driving Aaron’s limousine. This was the first time Aaron was using the limo to pick up a woman and he was happy for him. He responded, “Sure, Sir.”

At the same time, Tessa had gotten ready and was waiting for Aaron to pick her up. Elena and the kids had been taken to the Wentworth mansion already.

Her heart was fluttering as she waited for Aaron, picturing what the date on a cruise ship

would be like.

She was wearing a champagne rose satin mermaid gown that outlined her curves. It was sleeveless with an open-back style and a plunging neckline that exposed a bit of her cleavage. Her embellished heels were open ankle-strapped heels with diamonds on the straps. She had styled her hair into a side twist that graduated into a neat low bun to expose the diamond earrings that Aaron got for her.

Her whole look was a perfect fusion of sophistication, elegance and class.

When the doorbell rang, her heart did a flip, knowing Aaron was at the door. This wasn’t the first time she went out on a date with him but she was nervous.
