The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets novel Chapter 49

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.

The butterflies in her stomach wouldn’t stop fluttering wildly.

Picking up her nude clutch purse, she walked to the door and opened it. Aaron was standing at the door with a bouquet of red roses, looking dashing in a beige suit.

Tessa’s heart ski pped a beat. She gulped as she gave him a once-over. His hair was neatly slicked back, giving him a nobleman’s vibe. He had a trimmed and neat beard that made him look manly.

‘Gosh, how can a man be so handsome?’ She thought silently.

At the same time, Aaron swept his gaze over Tessa’s body. His eyes darkened as he said in his deep velvety voice, “You look ravishing, love.”

He leaned down and pecked her lips. “You’re gorgeous.”

Tessa’s heart thudded twice and her cheeks reddened. She glanced at Aaron and replied, “You don’t look so bad yourself.”

What she wanted to say was that he looked like a Greek g*d. So s***y and smouldering. However, she stopped herself and blushed at her own thoughts.

She took the flowers from him and walked back into the house to put them in a vase. Her apartment was now full of flowers but she wasn’t complaining. She loved them.

When she walked back to the door, Aaron took off his jacket and placed it around Tessa’s shoulders. He then gave her his arm and said, “Let’s go.”

A few minutes later, Tessa’s eyes grew to the size of dinner plates when she saw the long white limousine waiting in the parking lot.

The chauffeur got out to open the door but Aaron stopped him, saying, “It’s ok, George. I want to be the one to open the door for my woman.”

He then led Tessa to the far end of the car and opened the door. Gesturing with his hand for her to enter, he offered, “After you, cupcake.”

Tessa blushed and her heart fluttered. She secretly felt giddy when Aaron called her by that pet

name.

“Thank you,” she replied and got into the limo.

She was in awe as she took a seat on the leather plush seats. On the left side was a medium flat- screen smart TV, while the right side had a service bar with cut crystal glasses and decanters. There was an ice bucket with a bottle of champagne in it.

The lighting inside the limo was dim, setting the mood for a romantic night. It had a power moonroof, exposing the night sky. They could watch the stars through the transparent roof as they drove through the city.

Aaron sat beside Tessa and pressed on the driver-passenger intercom, ordering, “We can start off now.”

“Noted, Sir,” George responded on the intercom and soon, the limousine began to move.
