Married to the President

Chapter 169: I am sorry

"...Please forgive Julia. He is your brother and he realized his error. Don't send him out of Li's family.

Don't debar him from the company. Please put his fault on my shoulders and blame me for it.

You can divide his properties and give a part of it to Rita but don't freeze his account. He has paid for

his sins already by losing his child.

You can imagine his pain and grief at this time. If anything happens to any of your sons, wouldn't you

grieve as well? That's exactly how your brother is feeling right now...” Cheng Li was persuading.

There was silence for a long time. Everyone thought Junxie was going to argue but he didn't say

anything. He looked at Theresa Mo and said;

"Let's go home" and stood up. His parents knew he was angry that they let Julia do whatsoever he

likes and not get punished for it.

Carol Li knows better than anyone else that Junxie's temper is like that. When he is not allowed to have

his way he walks away and never talks about that matter again but if anything happens afterwards,

don't get him involved.

Theresa has no option than to follow after Junxie offers her his hand. She took it and stood up, she

glanced at Junxie's mother and she shook her head.

"Actually, I want to stay and look after mum a little" Theresa Mo gave an excuse, withdrawing her hand

from Junxie's.

Junxie Li squinted. She doesn't want to go with him as well? She's giving excuses to keep him back.

“Who’s more important to you? Me or mum?" Junxie Li demanded. He glared at her with an unhappy

stare.

“Actually, its mum" Theresa replied and Julia raised her head and stared at her. She had called for a

quarrel with Junxie. She stared at Junxie eyeball to eyeball.

For a few seconds, they both stared at each other. Junxie's stare gradually turned cold and Theresa

gently looked away.

Without another word, Junxie turned and was walking out when his father called him back "Junxie my

dear"

He passed but didn't look back. “I know you are unhappy with my interference with Julia's punishment.

But please, don't walk away" Cheng Li coaxed.

Junxie turned abruptly and answered "You are concerned about your son right? It's fine. I will return to

my Mansion and concentrate on my sons as well.

You have two sons, and I have two sons as well. Let each of us concentrate on our kids. I don't want to

have anything to do with your son anymore.

And the first step towards achieving that is to walk away. I don't want to be disturbed about Julia and

his life anymore.

I have promised Monica that Rita would be compensated, I will do that on my own part. I made the

promise and intend to keep it...” Junxie declared and went away.

His mother started sobbing. She had been sobbing all day. When does she know that she would stop

sobbing because of Julia?

But Junxie shouldn't have been offended, his father pleaded with him and didn't make it compulsory for

him to do otherwise.

Theresa went to Carol Li and consoled her “mum, that's enough. Are you going to keep sobbing and

affecting your health?

If you keep sobbing to hurt yourself, what will happen to father, Junxie, me and your grandsons. Just be

calm and leave Julia's case aside" Theresa persuaded.

That evening, Lanre decided to call Theresa. He hadn't spoken to her after they left the cemetery.

He would have stopped by her place but he took Rosa out on a date. He dropped her off at home

before he came home as well.

Theresa answered and said she's on her way home. So late? Lanre thought. But when Theresa Mo

explained that she was at Li's residence, he said ok.

He told her his foster parents called and extended their warm regards to her. They were happy but also

surprised that they are siblings.

Theresa smiled. She said she would check on them one of these days. Then she told him Rita lost her

pregnancy.

She said it was related to depression? "Depression? Was she unhappy with her marriage to Julia?"

Lanre asked.

Theresa explained everything to him briefly and he said he feels sorry for her. She should say him well

to her when she next visits.

When Theresa Mo Arrived home, it was quite dark. She got into the house and went upstairs.

She must apologies to Junxie. She had said those words to buy more time to stay by his mother.

She got into the bedroom and saw Junxie stepping out of the bathroom. His hair was dripping wet. He

appeared not to notice Theresa and went to dry his hair. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Darling, I am sorry" Theresa Mo stood up behind him and was fondling her fingers.
