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

Chapter 88

Chapter 88- Tears of joy

Reagan glanced at his sisters and sighed. He loved them but they usually only did girly stuff. Since he couldn’t bring his friends over at home all the time… He realised that he needed a buddy who would be with him 24/7.

What better way than to have a baby brother to play with? They could play video games together… run around the vast lawn at the mansion and do many other things that boys loved. to do.

Excitement crept into him at the thought. ‘We have a Daddy. Now I want a baby brother!’ He said silently.

The sports event continued. When all the competitions were done, the children were rewarded for their efforts. They were given medals and small trophies.

Those who came first, second and third were given gold trophies while the rest had silver trophies. The triplets rushed to Aaron to show him their rewards.

“Look, Daddy! We won gold trophies!” Reagan said.

“Wow! Congratulations to all of you!” Aaron said to the triplets. “You did very well. I’m so proud of you.”

He led his family to their car and drove them back. It was on their way to the mansion that Reagan decided to deliver his request.

From the back seat of the SUV, Reagan called for Tessa, asking, “Mommy, can you grow me a baby brother?”

Tessa’s mouth fell to the floor and her eyes almost popped out of their socket. She whipped around in her seat and stared at Reagan, “What? Where will I grow your baby brother?”

Reagan looked at her and said seriously, “In your belly, Mommy. Your belly needs to become big but yours is flat. It means you’re not growing a baby brother yet.”

“Who told you that, sweetie?” Tessa asked, her eyebrows knitting.

“It was Alan. His Mommy is making him a baby brother and her stomach is big. Can you grow me one now?” Reagan requested.

Tessa was dumbfounded for a split second. She glanced at her husband and found him grinning from ear to ear. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Aaron looked at the kids through the rearview mirror and asked his son, “Reagan, why do you want a baby brother?”

“I want a boy to play with,” Reagan replied outright.

Aaron chuckled in amusement. He met Reagan’s eyes through the mirror and said, “Why not a

baby sister? Don’t you love having sisters?”

“I want a baby sister, I want to braid her hair and play dress up,” Willa chipped in excitedly.

Reagan rolled his eyes and presented, “See, Daddy? This was what I was talking about. Girls are so expensive and they only know how to play with dolls. I need a boy to do boys’ stuff with.

“What if you have a baby sister

Aaron asked with amusement laced in his voice.

I

“I’ll still love her I love having sisters. I’ll just ask mommy to grow me another baby until 1 have a baby brother,” Reagan remarked with a serious face

Tessa and Aaron shared a look and chuckled Aaron replied, “Mommy will grow you a baby sister or brother but not now, buddy. It will take some time Also, we have no choice in what baby your mother and I will grow so even though I also want a baby boy, we have to be ready to have a baby girl too.”

“Yes, Reagan Also, although we’ve said we will grow a baby later, we might not be able to due to circumstances. So don’t feel bad it there’s no baby brother or sister,” Tessa added.

Reagan nodded while seated in his car seat. He glanced at his sisters and reached for their hands, declaring, “I love my sisters! I might not be able to play video games with them, but I’ll always protect them 1 also can’t wait for our baby brother or sister to come.”

When they arrived at the mansion, Willa cried, “I’m hungry!”

Tessa glanced at the time and realised it had been two hours since they had lunch at the sports event. She looked at her children and offered, “I’ll make you some snacks.”

She was about to move when Aaron stopped her. He had noticed that the race had drained her energy and she looked a little pale. Gazing into her eyes, he proposed, “Why don’t you and the kids relax as I make you some snacks? I won’t be long, ”

Tessa was feeling tired so she didn’t object. She took the children and they sat on the island in

the middle of the kitchen.

The kitchen was very spacious and it was easy to move around. It was beautiful and clean with a black, white and grey theme.

Aaron was just cutting up some fruits to make smoothies so he didn’t bother with an apron. However, Tessa couldn’t help but drool over him as he made his way around the kitchen.

He went to the refrigerator and took out some fruits. Getting a chopping board, he stood at the other side of the island and began to cut the fruit one at a time.

While the kids were excitedly waiting for their father to finish, Tessa kept admiring and wondering if he was really hers.

‘He’s so lickable! So gorgeous.’

The fact that he was doing this for them made him look more attractive. He carefully and gracefully cut up the bananas and mango. When he was done, he placed the fruits in a blender and added yoghurt and a big scoop of ice cream.

As he was doing this, Tessa stared at him dreamily… the muscles on his arms were flexing. His sharp jaw was more prominent as he stared down at the fruits in concentration… the stubble making him look more manly.

She sighed inwardly but so did the kids. Willa remarked, “I love it when Daddy makes us snacks or when he cooks for us.”

“I want Daddy to cook for us forever and ever and ever!” She squeaked and giggled.

“Daddy is busy, silly. He can’t make us food all the time,” Reagan responded to her.

“He can find time like Mommy does,” Nia added.

Aaron chuckled and said, “I’ll cook for you and your Mommy every day.”

“Yay!” The kids squealed.

When the smoothie was done, Aaron poured them into transparent cups and placed a stroll through the hole in the lid. He then gave them to his family and said, “Try out my recipe! This smoothie is called, Tears of Joy. Tell me what you think.”

Tessa and the kids took a sip and it was like they had an epiphany. Their eyes widened as they said, “Hmmmm… yummy.”

Tessa glanced at Aaron and remarked, “This is so good, babe. I think I’m about to cry tears of joy.”

She thought the smoothie was so good, it was giving her mini-orgasms!

“Yes, Daddy. It’s so delicious!” Reagan added.

Aaron smiled and said, “I think I’m going to open a smoothie shop.”

Tessa chuckled and shook her head. She took another sip and remarked, “As usual… a

billionaire will always be thinking about the next business to open.”

“I have to stay rich, cupcake. My goal in this life is to spoil you rotten. How can I do that if I go bankrupt?” Aaron said.

“I’ll take care of you,” Tessa proposed and Aaron shook his head.

“I know you can, love… but it’s my duty to protect and take care of you and our family. I’ll work hard for you and our kids.”

He then said, “Speaking of work, do you want to go and visit the site for the T&A properties construction? The employees would love to see their other boss.”

Tessa frowned. She looked up at Aaron and asked, “What other boss?”

“You, of course,” Aaron responded, a smile curling his lips.

Tessa’s eyes widened. “How did I become T&A’s boss?”

She gasped when it suddenly dawned on her. T&A were the initials for Tessa and Aaron.

“You made me your partner? What if I didn’t agree to work things out between us?” She asked. him incredulously.

Aaron shrugged and replied, “Then I would have given you full ownership. I made this company to get close to you, Tessa. It’s only natural that you should be one of the owners. Besides, I knew I wasn’t going to give up until you gave me a chance. I would have grovelled for ten years if I had to. Because you’re worth it… and I’ve been rewarded for every effort I put

in.”

A few days later, Tessa went out to check out her other businesses and see how they were doing. The cruise ship was worked on and it had resumed operations. The sales had gone up by

20%.

After word got out that it was owned by the wife of the most powerful man in Ashford city, many people wanted to visit the cruise and have an otherworldly experience in the middle of

the ocean.

Tessa visited the construction site for the T&A properties with Aaron and he introduced her to their employees. The project was to make a gated community with modern and expensive villas. The constructors had already started building according to Tessa’s design.

The villas would be a huge hit when they were completed and the T&A properties would be a huge success.

As for the shopping mall, it was already thriving ever since operations resumed when the renovations were done. All these investments were bringing in huge chunks of money already. At this rate, Tessa would soon join the Forbes list of billionaires under the age of thirty.

When Tessa returned to the office, she found two men in military uniforms at the entrance, about to go in. She smiled at them and inquired, “Can I help you?”

“Hello, Ma’am. We are here for Mrs Michelle Thompson. General Graham had listed her as his next of kin. We have some news for her,” one of the men said.

Tessa’s heart suddenly sank. A bad feeling crept into her and the hairs on the back of her neck. stood up. She nodded and replied, “Come with me. I’ll take you to her office.”

She led them to Michelle’s office and coincidentally, they found Michelle leaving her office.

“Mrs Michelle Thompson, wife to General Graham Thompson?” One of the men asked.

Michelle knitted her eyebrows. She had a question mark on her face as she answered gingerly, “Yes, that’s me.”

“We have some news for you, Ma’am. Mr Graham Thompson is missing. Our team lost all communication with him and he is feared dead.”
