Chapter 86- Worried

“I’m worried about Michelle,” Tessa said as she lay in Aaron’s arms.

The curtains were still open and the full moon illuminated its bright light into the dark bedroom.

They had retired to bed after having their first dinner as a family in their new home. The kids had fallen asleep earlier after playing in the playroom for some time. Aaron and Tessa tucked them in and then they video-called Michelle together to congratulate her on her marriage.

Hearing that Michelle was only with the housekeeper at the penthouse, Tessa became worried about her friend. She looked up at Aaron and added, “She’s pregnant and her husband is not around. Pregnant women can be very emotional. She might fall into depression due to missing her husband. I want to ask her to come and stay with us for a while until Graham returns. What do you think?”

“That’s ok… Our house is big. Since Mom and Dad refused to stay with us saying they are not that old to live with their children yet, Michelle is welcome anytime. I think it will also be good. for her to be around a lot of people in her condition,” Aaron responded.

They had asked Elena and Edmund to live with them at the mansion, but the two elders. refused. Elena preferred to stay in the apartment and Edmund didn’t want to leave the house he built with his wife. Aaron had to give up for now… perhaps in the future, they could all live together.

However, she secretly frowned, wondering where the pain was coming from. Could there bet something wrong with her? She was expecting her period any time soon but the pain was new…

“Why are you suddenly quiet, love? Are you sleepy?” Aaron asked as he lovingly stroked her

hair.

“I am… we had a long day today. I enjoyed working as a family but… I’ve suddenly felt so tired,

“Tessa answered.

It was true that she felt drained. She just thought it was because she hadn’t rested enough and maybe the pain in her lower abdomen was because of her lack of rest.

“I understand… I didn’t give you a break on our honeymoon. We always made love and went out to have fun. How about this? I’ll let you rest tonight. I wanted us to make love in our new home but I don’t want to tire you out. Goodnight, Mrs Wentworth.”

“Goodnight, Mr Wentworth.”

“Sweet dreams, my wife,” Aaron said again.

Tessa giggled. She glanced up and puckered her lips, asking for a kiss. When Aaron leaned

down and sucked on her lips briefly, she said, “Sweet dreams, my husband
