    Chapter 49~ Lovenguage


    “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 nning 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 -inw


    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 withmitting 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.”


    1/5


    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 ss.


    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 nced 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’tining. She loved them.


    When she walked back to the door, Aaron took off his jacket and ced it around Tessa’s shoulders.


    He then gave her his arm and said, “Let’s go.”


    A few minutester, Tessa’s eyes grew to the size of dinner tes when she saw the long white


    limousine waiting in the parking lot.


    2/5


    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 t-


    screen smart TV, while the right side had a service bar with cut crystal sses 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 inte, ordering, “We can start off


    now.”


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


    “Would you like a ss of champagne?” Aaron asked Tessa.


    When she nodded, he grabbed two sses and poured them each a drink. He then gave her the ss


    and raised his to hers, saying, “Here’s to us and our children. Let’s forget about everything tonight and


    have fun.”


    Tessa clinked Aaron’s ss and remarked, “Cheers.”


    There was soft music ying in the background, creating a romantic ambience. Aaron would often


    nce at Tessa and tell her stories about some buildings in the City that she didn’t know.


    They passed the theme park that was under the Wentworth group and then he said, “Do you know that


    the theme park was the first business my parents ventured into?”


    Tessa shook her head and replied, “No.”


    “They wanted to have a very big family. So they built this park so that their kids could have fun.


    Unfortunately, I was the only child and Mom died young. Still, this park remains my father’s favourite. It


    may have changed because I modernised it but it still has the old swings. and slides from when I was


    young.”


    Aaron sighed and took a sip from his ss, adding, “Let’s bring the kidster. I want us to spend quality


    time as a family. I don’t want to lose out in their growth and development any more than I already


    have.”


    3/5


    Tessa nodded. She reached for his hand and squeezed it, saying, “Let’s do that.”


    When the car stopped moving, Tessa could see that they were on a helipad. There was a helicopter


    waiting for them a few meters away.


    Aaron was about to step out when Tessa stopped him and presented, “Wait. I want to video call the


    children. Just to make sure they are ok.”


    She took out her phone from her clutch purse and made a video call to Reagan’s tablet.


    “Hi Mommy,” Reagan responded. He then saw his father and smiled widely, “Hi, Daddy!”


    “Hello, son!” Aaron happily waved at his son through the phone.


    “Hi, baby. Call your sisters, I want to see all of you,” Tessa said.


    After a few seconds, three little faces were showing on the screen.


    “Hi, babies. Are you ok? I miss you. Mommy and Daddy will be back soon. I want you to be good. Don’t


    trouble your grandparents, ok?” Tessa uttered.


    “Ok, Mommy,” Reagan answered and then he asked, “Can we have ice cream?”


    Aaron was about to agree but Tessa firmly shook her head and responded, “No, Reagan. It’s cold. You


    can’t have ice cream. Ask grandma to make you a hot drink instead.”


    Aaron’s heart dropped to his stomach. He realised how it was cold that day and he felt guilty for


    wanting to agree to the children’s request when it could be harmful to them.


    “Where are you going, Mommy?” Wi asked.


    Tessa replied, “I’m going on a date with.


    your father.”


    “Can Ie to? I also want to go on a date with Daddy.”


    Aaron chuckled, he said, “I will take us all on a date when we return, ok?”


    “Ok, Daddy.”


    When the call ended, Tessa could tell that Aaron was feeling bad for almost saying yes to the kids


    earlier. She grabbed his arm and squeezed it before consoling him, “Hey, don’t beat yourself up. This is


    the first time you’re being a father. You’re doing great.”


    Aaron smiled at Tessa, appreciating her words. He squeezed her hand back and remarked, ” Thanks,


    Tessa. I’ve just realised that there’s a lot that I need to learn. But with you by my side, I believe I can be


    the best father in the world.”


    He then opened the door and stuck his hand out to Tessa. She took it with a smile crossing her lips.


    They got on the helicopter and spent two hours in the air. When it was time tond, Aaron took a


    blindfold and covered Tessa’s eyes with it.


    Ch


    She giggled as he tied it behind her head, saying, “Is this necessary?”


    “Yes. It’s a surprise,” Aaron responded.


    Her heart raced in anticipation. Soon, theynded and Aaron led her out of the helicopter which


    disembarked as soon as they stepped down from it.


    The first thing Tessa felt was a gust of wind hitting her skin. She took a whiff of the smell of the ocean


    and smiled. “Can I open my eyes now?”


    “Not yet,” Aaron whispered in her ears. She was ticklish and ended up giggling.


    A few minutester, he finally removed the blindfold from her eyes and said, “Now you can look. This is


    a gift for giving birth to three children for me. Thank you, Tessa. For being an amazing woman and


    mother. I admire your strength and dedication. Raising kids as a single mother is not easy, but for five


    years, you managed perfectly. I appreciate you for that. Do you like your gift?”


    Tessa’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets and her mouth had dropped to the floor. A gasp


    left her lips as she stared at therge luxurious hotel cruise ship they were on. It had the name,


    ‘Tessa’s cruise resort’ inrge neon letters.


    The ship had colourful lights that illuminated the ocean. She could make out a bar, a pool area and


    suites for guests. It was veryrge and there were other parts she could not see just yet.


    ‘Wait a minute… did he just give me a cruise ship as a gift?’


    Her heart ski pped a beat and then went into overdrive, pounding so hard it became deafening.


    “A-Aaron… what’s this? Why did you get me this? I told you I already forgave you. No need to get me


    expensive gifts,” Tessa said.


    “This is my lovenguage. Spending on you, serving you, spending quality time with you, assuring you


    of my love and not forgetting…” Aaron trailed, sliding his hand around her waist and whispered in his


    deep raspy voice, “Craving you.”This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
