Chapter 70- I’m her baby daddy
Aaron was playing chess with his friends in the backyard garden at the Wentworth mansion while the kids watched with keen interest. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Daddy, are you winning?” Reagan asked excitedly.
He noticed how his father had grabbed a lot of Tony’s black chess pieces while Aaron still had a lot of his white pieces.
Aaron smiled at his son and said, “Watch and learn, son. Your father always wins.”
Tony rolled his eyes and remarked, “It’s just because you’re always lucky. I’ll win you next time!”
When Aaron made another move, Tony saw that he was about to lose so he scattered the chess pieces and said, “I quit!”
The kids erupted in gleeful laughter, saying, “Daddy is the best!”
They had already had their ice cream and even visited an arcade where they played some games. It was only after Aaron felt like they had played enough that he took them home and then he began to play chess with his friends.
The reason he was playing chess was so that he could calm himself down after receiving Tessa’s sexy pictures. The image of her in a bikini made him feel tingles coursing through his veins. He had to stop himself from getting into his car and driving to the resort to make love
to her.
He suddenly received a call from his sister and his heart jumped to his throat when he thought something had happened to Tessa.
When he heard that Tessa had lost her phone and that someone was giving her a hard time, he quickly got to his feet. He left the children with their grandfather and left for the resort with his friends.
Victor was on call at the hospital so he couldn’t go with them. Accompanied by Tony and Graham who was around until the wedding, Aaron went to the resort to support his wife.
When they got there two hours later, he happened to hear what Jessica Scott said about giving Tessa money to restart her company. His eyebrows furrowed as he narrowed his eyes at her and questioned, “Why the hell would my billionaire wife need starting capital from you?”
Seeing Aaron glaring at her, Jessica Scott’s eyes grew into saucers and she stuttered, realising the owner of the resort was talking to her. “B-Billionaire wife? W-who is your wife, sir?”
“The same one you’re talking to. How dare you act like you’re better than her when she can take care of you for the rest of your life with her money?” Aaron asked curtly.
Jane’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Aaron. He wasn’t in his usual smart suits. He wore a light blue-fitting golf t-shirt and grey chino pants with sneakers. Although he had a poker face and a hard edge to his tone, he was still handsome with his dark brown hair and the trimmed beard on his jaws. He was six feet tall and had a kingly aura that forced people to submit to him.
Her eyes lit up as she thought, ‘Great. I can make him see who Tessa really is.’
In her mind, if she could bag someone like Aaron, she wouldn’t have to waste her time with someone like Hunter who was a spoilt rich boy. A mature man like Aaron could take her to greater heights.
She stepped forward and said, “Mr Wentworth, do you remember me? My name is Jane Colton. I used to work for the Wentworth group-”
“Should I know you? I have thousands of employees under me,” Aaron interrupted her coldly. “I’m afraid nothing about you looks familiar. You don’t particularly stand out.”
Jane’s face flushed. She didn’t expect Aaron to come out so strongly. It was as if he had already dismissed her before even giving her a chance to be heard. His cold and distant attitude was enough to make anyone stay away.
However, she didn’t let it stop her from achieving her goal. She glanced at him and said, “Mr Wentworth, who were you calling your wife just now? Is it Tessa? But do you know that she has three kids with another man?”
Aaron narrowed his eyes at Jane dangerously. Anger surged through his chest and he growled, “What the fuck did you say?!”
Jane celebrated inwardly when she thought Aaron was upset with Tessa for lying. She grabbed the phone she had given Celia and went to show Aaron the wallpaper, saying, “Don’t let Tessa fool you, Mr Wentworth. I know your true love is Miss Serena Winston. Tessa has three little bastards and probably wants to use you to take care of them.”
“So… you’re the one who stole my wife’s phone and even insulted her on her property? Who do you think you are?” Aaron roared. “And did you just call my children bastards in front of me?”
Jane trembled when she realised Aaron’s anger was directed towards her. She opened and closed her mouth repeatedly like a fish that was out of the water.
She couldn’t believe her ears. Her eyes grew wide as she asked, “Y-your children? Wasn’t Tessa your
mistress?”
“You’re still asking to be sued, aren’t you? Tessa has children, MY CHILDREN. Is it a crime? Who are you to look down on a single mother? Can you even do half of the things she has done? She’s a CEO and you’re still relying on fake rich men to sponsor your pathetic life. Just looking at your man, I can tell he scams people for a living.”
Hunter, Jane’s boyfriend, shrank at Aaron’s gaze. Jane glanced at him for him to defend her but he fell back and ran away like his pants were on fire.
The crowd laughed when Jane was abandoned by her boyfriend. Nevertheless, she still wasn’t going to give up so easily. She smiled and said, “Mr Wentworth, I know you’re a good man and that’s why you’ve accepted Tessa’s children as your own. She’s second-hand goods with stretch marks on her belly. However, you need to find a decent woman who can give you your own kids.”
“Miss whatever your name is, Tessa is the perfect woman for me. In case you don’t know, I’m marrying her this Saturday. She’s going to be my wife officially and I will be her husband. I love her the way she is. She has kids but so what? I love that fact more. Did you just make fun of her stretch marks? To me, those are superwoman marks. I love them on her. They remind me of how she carried three babies for me… How she grew life inside her body. She’s amazing and I’ll always cherish her.
I’m her baby daddy. Are you saying I’m second-hand goods too?” Aaron’s angry voice resonated in the area.
Jane shivered as fear crept into her. She looked at her friends but they were quiet and were not willing to help her out, scared of facing Aaron’s wrath.
“I… I didn’t know they were your children. I thought she was just a mistress-”
“How dare you? This resort belongs to me and my wife. She has shares in it! How could you think you can compete with her? She’s a billionaire and doesn’t even show off. But look at you. with fake shiny clothes and fake accessories acting like you own the world.
I need to teach a woman like you a lesson. Then no one will ever try to bully my woman again. Tony! Sue this woman for defamation of character and have her arrested for the breach of peace according to the public order act,” flames of fury danced through Aaron’s eyes as he spat.
“I’m sorry, Mr Wentworth! I didn’t mean to insult your wife. Tessa, please talk to Mr Wentworth. I don’t have money to pay a fine for defamation. My current job doesn’t pay much and I have a loan that I’m paying back!” Jane pleaded as big fat tears rolled down her cheeks.
Tessa smiled. She got to her feet and approached Aaron, hooking her arms with his. She glanced at him and said, “It’s alright, babe. I just wanted her to understand that we are not on the same level. I’m sure she’s learnt her lesson. No need of arresting her. I wasn’t offended because I knew she didn’t know what she was talking about.”
“No, love. I can forgive her if she had insulted me but she insulted you and our kids. That’s unforgivable. If I don’t punish her, I’ll be letting you down,” Aaron claimed and added, “I hate how my actions back then seem to follow you all the time. You’re not a mistress, you were never one. When we get married, I’m going to broadcast it to the whole world so that no one questions your position in my life again.”
Tony stepped out of the crowd and said, “I’ve already called the police. I’ll formally sue Miss Colton here tomorrow morning once I go to the office.”
Aaron nodded in satisfaction. He then ordered Josh to take Jane to the reception and watch over her until the police arrived. Looking at the crowd, he suggested, “Why don’t you continue with your party? You can order more drinks and food, it’s on me and my wife.”
“Thank you, Mr Wentworth!”
“Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!”
“You make a great couple!”
The crowd cheered while others laughed at Jane’s predicament, thinking she deserved whatever punishment she was getting.
Aaron held Tessa’s hand and they went for a walk. He gazed down at Tessa and asked, “How did I do, love? Did I meet your expectations?”
Tessa nodded and replied, “Yes. In fact, you exceeded my expectations. I just wanted you to scare her a little.”
She chuckled when she remembered how Jane began to cry and beg for forgiveness when she realised she was doomed. It was funny how she wanted to be forgiven but if Tessa was just an ordinary woman with no money or powerful connections, she would have been bullied and humiliated that night.
“I’ll never let anyone bully you, love,” Aaron promised. “Whatever punishment Miss sparkly is getting is what she deserves for messing with you.’
The two proceeded to take a walk along the beach while chatting about this and that. They took off their shoes so that they could feel the sand under the soles of their feet. There was a gentle breeze as the waves of the sea made whooshing sounds in the distance.
Aaron suddenly stopped and said, “Well, since I’m already here…. How about we start our honeymoon early? Celia will be kept busy by Tony. She won’t know I’m breaking one of her rules. The photos that you sent earlier turned me on.”
Tessa laughed at his suggestion. Celia had told them they weren’t allowed to be intimate in these three days so that they could crave each other more on their wedding night. However, Tessa felt excitement creeping into her after the way Aaron defended her.
He looked so hot and manly. It felt good to know she had a man who would bring the world to its knees for her.
Tingles were rushing through her core and it kept clenching repeatedly, wanting something big and hard to be shoved into it. She couldn’t wait until three days later… and since they both desired each other, she didn’t see any reason why they should starve themselves.
She glanced up at Aaron and asked him, “What did you have in mind?”
