Chapter 65- Cake tasting
“How is my fiancé, Doctor? How are his legs?” Tessa asked Aaron’s physiotherapist, Doctor Rebekah Williams.
They had gone for Aaron’s usual therapy sessions. Ever since Tessa found out about his pain, she offered to go to his physical therapy sessions with him. She accompanied him as he did. intense exercises to help him overcome the pain that came as a result of his injured legs.
After two hours of treatment, the physiotherapist requested an audience with Aaron to report on his progress.
“I think he’s on the road to recovery. The pain might have even lessened a bit, right, Mr. Wentworth?” Doctor Rebekah asked Aaron.
Aaron nodded and replied, “Yes. I can stand for hours now and will only have mild pain in my legs after.”
“How is your shoulder now? Does it still hurt?” Doctor Rebekah inquired as she scribbled something in her notebook.
Aaron had also started therapy for his shoulder for quick recovery after Nora stabbed him. Although the wound had scabbed over and looked like it had healed, there was still some internal discomfort and pain.
Tessa glanced up at Aaron, awaiting his response. She also wanted to know because Aaron was an expert at hiding his pain so as not to worry her.
Aaron nodded and said, “It’s also recovering.”
When Tessa narrowed her eyes at him, he raised his hand and rolled his shoulder, saying, ” See? There’s no more pain.”
“I saw you grimace when you carried the kids on your shoulders at the aquarium three weeks ago,” Tessa pointed out.
“Yes. It hurt back then but it’s been three weeks and I feel fine. Don’t be worried, love,” Aaron. responded and gave her a warm assuring smile.
Doctor Rebekah wrote down a prescription and handed it over to Tessa. She presented, “I’m changing his medication to a lighter dose. Since he’s no longer in too much pain, there’s no need for strong painkillers. Just make sure to massage his shoulder and legs regularly. Every night if possible.”
Tessa’s eyes widened as she got the prescription. “Every night? That’s not possible.”
“Don’t you live together? Mr Wentworth said you’re his wife,” Doctor Rebekah remarked as she looked between the two.

Heat crept up Tessa’s face. She was about to say she was not his wife yet but Aaron beat her to it. He said, “She will be my wife in a week, so we will live together soon. We will find a way for me to get those massages in the meantime.”
Doctor Rebekah nodded and instructed, “Well, since you’re getting married soon, I must mention that having regular sex will help strengthen the muscles in your legs, Mr Wentworth. Especially positions that require you to balance on your legs.”
“Really?” Aaron’s lips stretched into a wide smile. He glanced at Tessa and remarked, hear that, cupcake? We need to do it regularly to help with my healing.”
“You
Tessa’s face blushed. She averted the doctor’s eyes and responded, “I’ll do my best to help him heal.”
Aaron placed the side of his fist to his mouth and cleared his throat. He looked at Doctor Rebekah and sought, “Doctor, how regular is regular? As in… how often should we make love?
Tessa blushed profusely. She nudged Aaron’s side and rounded her eyes at him, giving him the ‘what kind of question is that?’ look.
Doctor Rebekah chuckled, knowing what Aaron was asking. She laced her hands on the table. and said, “Well, since you’re both healthy, you can just go with the flow and do it whenever you can.”
Aaron felt like he had hit the jackpot. His smile grew bigger as he glanced at Tessa and proclaimed, “Since this will help with my legs… I think a normal dose of medication is ideal. So, how about doing it three times a day, in the morning, afternoon and evening?”
Tessa ended up fanning herself with her hand. Aaron’s suggestion made her feel things. She crossed her legs to soothe the ache that was developing in her nether region. It felt good to have someone craving and desiring her all the time.
With a flushed face, she nodded shyly, saying, “Ok.”
When they walked out of the hospital, both Aaron and Tessa’s phones chimed. It was a group text from Celia.
Celia: [I’m waiting for you at the bakery. I made an appointment for cake tasting. Be at the location attached at exactly 2:00 pm.]
Aaron and Tessa shared a look and smiled.
Aaron shook his head and complained, “Why did you put her in charge of our wedding? She’s torturing me.”
“I just wanted to keep her busy. She’s been through a lot,” Tessa replied.
She could relate to Celia’s situation because she had been hurt by someone she loved before. However, their situations were different.
Celia was married and her husband betrayed their vows by committing adultery.
“Yeah… anyway. As long as she does everything you want, then I’m fine with it,” Aaron remarked as he recalled the conversation he had with Celia three weeks returned.
ago when she
She had said she wanted to move on and start afresh. She even reconciled with their father but she didn’t want to join the company because she had been away for years. Instead, she got a job as an assistant accountant in Tessa’s architectural company.
When they drove to the bakery, Celia and Michelle were already waiting for them at the
entrance.
“What took you so long? There’s so much to do. We also need to check on the bride’s wedding dress,” Celia said as soon as she saw them.
Tessa smiled and replied, “There was traffic on the way.”
“Ok. Let’s get started. So, I’ve picked out their most delicious flavours and we are all going to taste them and choose. But the final decision will be made by the bride,” Celia mentioned as she turned to walk into the bakery.
Just then, Aaron received an important call from abroad. Tessa noticed this and saw that he was about to ignore it so she said, “Why don’t you pick up your call? It looks important.”
Aaron had a conflicted look on his face. The caller was a potential supplier for the oil business. he wanted to venture into. However, he didn’t want to miss any experience in their wedding. planning. This was their first and only marriage after all. He wanted to be there every step of the way.
He put the phone on silent and told her, “I’ll call him back later.”
Tessa knew that Aaron didn’t want to disappoint her by picking up work calls while they were together but she also knew he was a CEO who was responsible for so many employees. A simple issue like not picking up an important call could cause him tremendous losses.
She glanced up at him and suggested, “Why don’t I wait for you while you pick up the call? That way, you won’t miss out on the cake tasting.”
Aaron smiled, his heart feeling warm at her words. He grabbed Tessa’s hand and they excused themselves for a minute. They went into the hallway where he answered the call.
Tessa stood by his side the whole time, holding his hand. Her heart was beating like a drum as they glanced at each other lovingly while he spoke with the supplier. She felt giddy. There was just something about this moment that made her heart soar with happiness,
When Aaron was done with the call, he tugged at Tessa’s wrist before cupping her face and
claiming her lips, kissing her hard.
“You’re so special, you know that?” He said as he pulled away from the kiss.
Tessa’s face flushed and tingles settled in her core when she was kissed so passionately out of nowhere. Her stomach fluttered with butterflies and she smiled at Aaron, asking, “Are you done now? I’m sure Celia is about to blow her top.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Aaron chuckled and responded, “I would love to delay a bit just to make her angry but she’s helping with our wedding and I want it to be perfect… so, let’s go taste those cakes and then… “he leaned over and whispered in her ear, “You need to give me my afternoon medication dose. It’s best to start treatment immediately so that my legs heal quickly.”
Tessa’s eyebrows furrowed. “Aren’t you supposed to take them later in the evening?”
“Not that type of medication, love. The other one which is more effective… I need to exercise my legs,” Aaron said just as they entered the bakery.
Heat crept up Tessa’s face when she realised what he was talking about. She glanced at him and replied in a small voice, “Ok, later.”
“Later, when?” Aaron probed.
“After the cake tasting,” Tessa whispered and rushed to take a seat in the visitor’s lounge.
There was already a variety of cakes on the round coffee table in the centre. She sat on the couch and said, “Sorry about that.”
Celia winked and remarked, “You don’t need to apologise. My husband and I used to sneak out for a quickie or two when we just fell in love.”
Tessa’s face turned a shade darker but she didn’t correct her.
Aaron who had just taken a seat next to her rejoiced inwardly, knowing he would be getting some after the cake tasting. He felt himself harden as he pictured the many places they could do it from.
He leaned over and grabbed a plate from the table. Scooping up some of the cake, he turned to Tessa and fed it to her. He whispered, “Do you like it?”
Tessa nodded, “Fruit cakes are nice and ideal for weddings. But the kids don’t like them.”
Aaron picked up several other plates and fed the cakes to Tessa. He asked, “What about these other ones?”
Tessa tasted the velvet cake and loved its flavour. It wasn’t too sweet and was children
friendly. She remarked, “I think let’s settle for the velvet cake.”
“I think the carrot cake is good, Tessa. Have you tried it?” Michelle uttered. She was on her fourth piece of carrot cake. It was so good she couldn’t stop eating.
“You seem to like it. How about I get you one big cake so you can eat it at home?” Tessa offered and Michelle’s eyes widened.
“Yes, please!”
The baker who was standing by the side noticed that Tessa had made a choice. She walked towards the couple and asked, “What type of cake do you want?”
“We want the most expensive velvet wedding cake,” Aaron said without hesitation.
“The most expensive one is $100000. It has about 10 tiers and it’s made like a castle fit for a queen,” the baker responded.
“Yes, that one. My future wife is the Queen of my heart so that cake suits her,” Aaron proclaimed.
Tessa’s mouth dropped to the floor and her heart did a backflip. She glanced at Aaron with wide eyes, “$100000 for a cake? That’s too expensive, babe.”
“For you, I would have still bought it if it was a million dollars. You’re priceless, love. Whatever money I spend cannot hold a candle to you,” Aaron told Tessa while smiling at her. You’re my most precious treasure.”
He took out his black card and gave it to the Baker.
The baker said, “Since it’s an express order, we would have to charge you for the short notice. I’ll add $10000 as an express fee.”
“That’s ok,” Aaron replied.
Tessa was still in shock when they left the bakery. They had to go and try on her wedding dress and see if it needed any adjustments. However, Aaron had other plans.
He pulled Tessa to the side and suggested in a low voice, “How about we go somewhere for a quickie?”
Tessa’s face blushed. She clamped her legs together as her core clenched with need for her
man. She was about to agree when Celia interrupted them.
“Ok, brother. It’s time for you to leave. You’re not supposed to see the bride in her wedding dress,” Celia said.
“What? No, Tessa and I have things to do-”
“Not anymore. It’s girl’s time. Now go…. shoo!” Celia said, motioning with her hands for
Aaron to leave.
Alas, Aaron could only watch as Tessa was dragged away by his sister while he remained with his blue balls.
He ended up hissing and muttering to himself, “I can’t believe my sister cockblocked me.’
