Married to the President novel Chapter 77

"Go with him tomorrow. He has something to say to you. Hear him out first"Junxie Li persuaded. It is not wrong to listen when someone wants to talk to you.

It is only not advisable that you take everything you hear to heart and act on it. Maybe he wants to apologise to her and ask her to take him back.

Since she isn't going to agree to be the surrogate Mother for him and his wife, maybe he wants to persuade her to be or get pregnant for him instead.

Junxie Li persuaded Theresa to go for the dinner but must have someone trailing her. He can't take chances with someone so mean as drugging her when she was still his wife.

Theresa agreed and said she would give him feedback on how things were unfolding. Junxie Li said that's better.

They stopped at a supermarket and got candies and ice cream for the kids before they continued their home going. Kids like sweet things and that gets them excited when their parents are returning home.

Lanre and Rosa arrived home. They got in and Lanre said Rosa should go take a bath. They weren't going to have dinner since they already did and were full.

Rosa got into his bedroom and went to have a bath. Lanre went to make tea, and brought it in.

Rosa had stepped out and was having a towel around her chest. She blushed seeing Lanre was staring at her head to toe.

He placed the tea at the bedside table and went to have a bath. When he returned, Rosa had drunk a glass and left one for him.

Lanre came out of the bathroom in a towel and took his tea. He climbed into the bed and the fun began. It's been a while since he did it last.

But Rosa was being stiff. She was feeling unready for him and Lanre stopped. "You don't want me to touch you?" He asked.

Rosa said yes. He didn't say anything further but just laid beside her . He was ready to do it but Rosa had bluntly refused him. His body was hot and his desire surged Within him.

But since she said no, he can't force her. It will be tantamount to raping her. He stood up and went downstairs, he just needed to calm his tensed body.

Rosa started sobbing quietly. How does she tell him the hard truth? She had been with Lanre for a few months now and hadn't told him about her previous relationship.

He didn't ask her either and didn't tell her about his as well. But now that they have gotten to this point, she had to tell him.

She would explain things to him and hear what he thinks and feels. She waited for Lanre to return to the room but he didn't before she drifted off to sleep.

Theresa arrived home and went to see her boys.

They were doing just fine. They hugged her and she presented the candies and ice cream to them.

Junxie Li sat and watched how they took it and asked him if they should take it. He nodded. That's part of etiquette. When someone gives you a present, ask your parents before taking it.

He imagined the boys growing up without knowing him. How devastating would he have felt when they become grown up and see the reflection of himself on their faces.

Junxie Li told them he would take them all out for a picnic and adventure very soon. Hopefully when he returns from his journey.

The boys were happy and went to hug him. He held them both and kissed their temple. They were still less than four years old and were already acting mature . He loves them.

They soon returned to their quarters, leaving their parents alone. "Did you birth them yourself or was it a caesarean section?"Junxie Li asked.

"I have complications, so I have to go for a caesarean section,"Theresa Mo replied, stroking the lower part of her belly.

Junxie Li stared at her intently. "Sorry for going through that stage all by yourself. I wished I was there to share in your pains and Joy" Junxie Li consoled.

He hadn't touched her beyond her lips. Maybe when he decides to see her body he will see the scar. A scar that reminds her of the birth of their babies.

"That's in the past. When I saw my babies, I didn't remember the pains or the scar that would be left behind.

Lanre's parents are the best. They practically treated me like I was their daughter in-law or that the kids were their son's" Theresa explained.

Junxie Li couldn't help but shake his head. Theresa went through a lot to birth his sons. And as for Lanre, he doesn't know how to repay his kindness.

Maybe he would work up a double promotion for him. He will definitely repay favours no matter how long it takes.

"I might be traveling tomorrow, Theresa, and I may stay for two weeks before I return,"Junxie Li declared. There's a trip he had to attend, a conference and he just has to attend it. He just needed to be there.

"You have a wound that is not yet healed and yet you want to travel that long?"Theresa Mo asked. She looked at him with an inquisitive stare and Junxie Li sighed softly.

"I will be fine" he assured. He is not a baby that someone has to look after or spoon-feed. He can take care of himself and not make his girlfriend a babysitter for him.

"I won't let you go, Junxie! There are ways to attend seminars or conferences.

This is the 21st century with a lot of technologies.

There can be a zoom meeting, an online conversation or better still, send a trusted delegate to represent you and give you the feedback at intervals" Theresa Mo declared.

Junxie Li massaged the bridge between his nose. He doesn't know what to say next and told Theresa Mo he would think of any of the options she just mentioned and see if it will suffice.

"Come over to the bedroom, I want to see your wounds" Theresa Mo declared and stood up, walking ahead of him and Junxie Li followed.

She had been entrusted to look after him and ensure he is fine and the wound healing is improving. She doesn't know why he went to the company in the first place.

Junxie Li got into the bedroom and Theresa Mo helped him with his buttons. Junxie Li removed the waistcoat and held it together with the suit as he went upstairs earlier.

She removed the buttons and Junxie Li pulled his hand from it completely. His singlet was having blood stains already.

Theresa Mo became worried. Looks like the wound has been tampered with. She asked him to lay on the sofa and he obediently did.

Pulling the singlet off, the wounds looked sodden. It wasn't looking healed at the surface, like it was earlier that day.

"You are feeling no pain all these while?" Theresa Mo inquired. She looked at Junxie Li feeling annoyed.

" I have been having pains all day," Junxie Li confessed. Then Theresa Mo, like an older sister, scolded him. She asked him if he was a baby to have been kept shut.

Does he want the wound to be reinfected and then return to the hospital? She asked what he went to do in the company that he wouldn't have been able to do through a zoom?

Junxie Li just kept quiet and allowed her to bombard him like she wanted. She was right. He didn't go to the company to do anything that Julia wouldn't have been able to do.

But how can he wake up in the morning and sit at home? If she was around, it would be fine. But she would be going to the company and he can't be home all day.

She looked at his beautiful skin. It looked white and hairy. She took the first aid box and the box containing the treating items she's to use to clean and treat it at home.

She wore a pair of gloves and cleaned the wound, disinfecting it. It wasn't a large wound, just the size of a bullet wound.

The disinfectant is painful but Junxie Li didn't react. He was controlling himself. Theresa's hand touching his naked torso was sending desire through his spine.

"Aren't you in pain?"Theresa Mo asked. She was watching him if he would shiver or say it was harsh and painful, but he didn't even blink his eyes nor show any signs of having pains.

"I do"Junxie Li replied and Theresa Mo didn't ask anything else. She treated the wound and told Junxie Li to get up but to wear light clothes to allow for a little ventilation.

He should cross it off his mind about going to the company the next day. He would stay at home and attend to whatever needs to be attended to.
