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

Chapter 62- Saying yes

Purple, blue and pink lights danced along the stage. Slow music played in the background as the crowd screamed and egged Tessa on.

“Say yes! Say yes!”

Aaron gulped as he held up the ring at Tessa. His heart was beating like a drum as he waited with bated breath for Tessa to respond.

It had been a few minutes already and her silence was starting to worry him. He glanced at her and noticed that she was staring at him with a gaze that he couldn’t fathom.

‘Is she going to say no?”

His stomach twisted with nerves. He had planned to propose to her a few weeks later but what David Kingsley had said made him hasten his plans.

It was a wake-up call. More men would want to try their luck with Tessa as long as she was not married.

Tessa was someone he couldn’t bear to lose again. It was a miracle that she gave him a second chance despite how he had treated her in the past. He would be a fool to let her slip through his fingers again. Thus, he decided to propose to her earlier than he planned to.

Aaron called his friends over and hired a choreographer who helped them learn the dance they just performed. It was a simple dance that the kids could easily muster because he wanted to include them in the important event.

In the morning, he called Michelle and gave her his black card after instructing her to take Tessa for dinner and a massage before taking her to the concert he had organised.

His only hope was that Tessa loved him enough to want to spend the rest of her life with him. He mistook Tessa’s silence for hesitation and his heart dropped to his stomach.

He glanced at her and affirmed, “Tessa, I promise to love and cherish you for as long as I live. Please, marry me.”

On the other hand, Tessa felt a sting in her eyes at Aaron’s words. Tears rolled down her cheeks as her heart exploded. It wasn’t like she didn’t want to respond. For a moment, she was bereft of words. She stilled, her heart pounding like a galloping horse as she registered what was happening.

She had seen the ring in Aaron’s safe but she didn’t expect him to propose like this. She felt touched and she couldn’t stop sobbing.

The butterflies in her stomach went wild. She could have sworn there was a whole zoo in there from the way it was fluttering.

Aaron saw her tears and he found himself shedding a few too. He said, “I swear to never hurt you again. All these people, our friends, our parents and our children will serve as my witnesses. My only goal in this life will be to make you happy.”

Tessa gasped and wiped her tears that kept falling. Her heart fluttered like a hummingbird’s wings and she felt over the moon. A smile crossed her lips as she stared at Aaron lovingly.

However, she was yet to answer and it was making Aaron nervous. The knot in his stomach tightened as he waited patiently.

‘Please say yes, my love.’ He said silently.

Someone from the crowd suddenly shouted, “Girl, if you don’t want him, give him to me! I’ll gladly marry him!”
