All Chapters of The Billionaire's Substitute Wife... She's Back With Twins: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Tessa's Pov.As I picked the kids up from school, I noticed they were still mad at me for what happened at the park. I had rushed off to work this morning as I had an impromptu meeting with a client, it was Mars who dropped them off at school.Quickly I turned to face them. "I'm sorry guys," I say, reading their reaction. "Mommy is sorry for yelling, I promise to take you to the park next time and we'll stay all day long," I say, giving them a pleading look."Pinky promise?" Zoey said, bringing out her tiny fingers which elicited a chuckle from me."Pinky promise," I retort, crossing my finger with hers.Turning to face Xavier, who was quiet the entire time, he seemed like he was thinking it through. "Aren't you going to forgive mommy?" I asked, feigning sadness.Xavier giggled. "I will, on one condition," he said, pouting his mouth."And what's that?" I asked, a smile spreading across my face.Xavier's face lits up immediately. "Let Jesse's Uncle be our Dad till dad returns," he mout

Tessa's Pov.I stormed out of Aaron's office, Iivid but nervous at the same time.He knows! He fucking knows!My worst fear is happening, Aaron knows the kids are his. Now, he might want custody of them. I'm never going to let that happen, I'm never letting him anywhere close to my kids!For a moment, I paused. Remembering I had promised Xavier and Zoey that Aaron could be their stand-in Dad.Gosh! How do I fix this?Maybe coming back to New York was such a bad idea like Alexander said.My past with Aaron would always haunt me, it's as if my every action still revolves around him and no matter how long I run away from him, he was still the father of my kids after all.Knowing Aaron very well, he's not going to back down, not now that he knows the truth.My heart bleeds, remembering how much my kids were hurting from all of this, how much they needed a father figure in their lives, how I've lied to them about their father all this while, I fought back the tears that was threatening to

Aaron's Pov.My mom has been calling me nonstop ever since she got my text!I still haven't explained anything to her, she's still in the dark about the whole situation.Vanessa on the other hand keeps sending me photos of matching outfits for Jesse and the twins.They're extremely excited about the news!It's been a day since Tessa stormed into my office, looking breathtakingly gorgeous as always.She hasn't changed a bit, still as stubborn and fierce as I could remember.I know Tessa was still mad at me for the way things turned out, I could see the knowing look on her face, a mix of disdain and regret, like she regret ever loving me.I hate that I made her feel that way.It must've been a hard decision, letting me into the kids life but that shows how much of a good mother she was, a Mom ready to burn bridges for her kids! That's incredible.Now, that's my wife. The woman I fell helplessly in love with.I'm willing to prove to Tessa that she's the one I truly love and what she thou

Tessa's Pov.I quickly cleared the plates and returned to the dining table where Zoey and Xavier were seated.I knew there was no better time to clear things up about Aaron.This is going to be hard, but I can no longer keep them in the dark, that's not fair.Noticing my pale face, Zoey turned her attention to me and asked. "Are you alright, Mommy?" She let out, her cute face strained. This also made Xavier to shift his gaze to me."I'm fine, baby," I replied, offering a small smile.I looked up at their curious faces, my face registered a warm look. "Guys, Mommy has something to tell you both. But please promise you won't get mad at Mommy," I inquired, getting nervous."Of, course Mommy. You can tell us anything," Xavier chimed in.Encouraged, I proceeded. "It's about your Dad," I said and paused, studying their reaction."Daddy? Is Daddy alright?" Zoey asked."Yes, he's fine," I cut in sharply, not wanting them to worry their tiny heads."Mommy lied about him, just to protect you,"

Aaron's POVAs I read the kids a bedtime story, trying to put them to sleep. My mind was distraught, the thought of Tessa going out with Alexander made me uneasy. It's crystal clear that Alexander is into Tessa. Plus, he might be doing this to get back at me.If that was his aim, then clearly it's affecting me, because I can't seem to think straight.The thought of what Tessa might be doing or talking with him, made my blood boil."Daddy, please hug me," Zoey said faintly, feeling sleepy. Xavier was already fast asleep. A warm smile spread across my face. "Sure, baby," I retorted, pulling her into my embrace.I could see how much they wanted me around. That made me feel guilty for not being there for them when they were born.If things didn't happen the way they did between Tessa and I, I'm sure I would have been there for them.It was partly or maybe completely my fault for letting Lisa come between what Tessa and I shared, for tearing my beautiful family apart.As I stroked Zoey's
