Chapter 88- Tears of joy
Reagan nced 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 y with? They could y video games together… run
around the vastwn 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 thepetitions 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! Congrattions 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 be big but
yours is t. It means you’re not growing a baby brother yet.”
“Who told you that, sweetie?” Tessa asked, her eyebrows knitting.
“It was n. 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 nced at her husband and found him grinning from
ear to ear.
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 y 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 y dress up,” Wi 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 y with dolls. I need a boy to do boys’ stuff with.
“What if you have a baby sister

“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 babyter, 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 nced at his sisters and reached for their hands,
dering, “I love my sisters! I might not be able to y video games with them, but I’ll always protect
them 1 also can’t wait for our baby brother or sister toe.”
When they arrived at the mansion, Wi cried, “I’m hungry!”
Tessa nced 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 rx 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 ind 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 ck,
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 ind 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 ced 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. Wi 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 ced 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 nced 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 be 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 thispany 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 dayster, 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 gatedmunity with modern and expensive vis. The
constructors had already started building ording to Tessa’s design.
The vis would be a huge hit when they werepleted and the T&A properties would be a huge
sess.
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.”
