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

Chapter 53- Family outing

“Has she agreed to marry you?” Elena asked Aaron.

“No. I haven’t proposed to her yet. I wanted to get your blessing before asking her,” Aaron replied with bated breath.

His stomach was in a knot and his heart was racing as he waited for Elena’s response. Aaron felt like a kid waiting anxiously for his parents to scold him for something he had done.

Elena sighed and responded, “I think you should ask her to marry you first. When she accepts, then you will have my blessing. At the end of the day, it has to be Tessa’s choice. I can’t give you my blessing minus her agreeing to your proposal.”

Aaron nodded as he reflected. He understood Elena’s point because whether she would give them her blessing or not was dependent on what Tessa wanted. He glanced at Elena and said, I’ll make the necessary arrangements, Aunt. Don’t worry, I’ll treat your daughter well.”

Elena kept quiet for a few seconds. She recalled her daughter’s state when she returned to the countryside five years ago. Her heart ached when she thought about how depressed Tessa was at that time. However, she had also noticed how happy Tessa and the children were since Aaron came back into their lives. This was why she didn’t want to interfere but she wanted to caution Aaron just in case he changed in the future.

Narrowing her eyes at Aaron, she warned, “About that… I hope you don’t hurt my daughter again, Aaron. I never want to see her losing herself the way she did years ago.”

She proceeded to tell Aaron about how Tessa was when they broke up. The way she seemed like the world had ended. She couldn’t eat sometimes and for a while, it seemed like she had

lost her will to live on.

Guilt crept into Aaron when he heard that. He felt like a huge hand was squeezing his heart.

“I promise to never make her cry unless they are tears of joy,” he declared.

“I trust you, Aaron. Since you’ve said you love my daughter, I’ll leave her in your hands. Take care of her. Love and cherish her. Be considerate. That’s all I ask of you,” Elena pleaded.

“I’ll devote my life to making her happy,” Aaron promised.

When they returned inside the mansion, Tessa pulled Aaron to the side and asked, “What did you talk about with my mother?”

“It’s a secret,” Aaron responded.

“Really? Are we keeping secrets now?” Tessa questioned with a quirked–up eyebrow.

Aaron shook his head and grabbed her hand. He brought it to his lips and kissed the fingertips as he said, “I was asking for forgiveness for hurting you and assuring her that I will take care

Tessa’s lips curled into a smile as she glanced at him. She remarked, “As much as I love you for doing that, you don’t need to keep apologising for the past, babe. I’ve already forgiven you.”

“I know. But your mother was hurt too. A mother would be hurt if her child is in pain. I needed to apologise for that,” Aaron responded.
