Married to the President novel Chapter 78

Junxie Li chuckled. How nice it would have been to have an elder sister or a sister as a sibling. She's so meticulous and talks like a mother that she truly is.

He stood up and went to stand before the mirror. He looked at the treated wound and saw that Theresa did it well.

She came and stood beside him. She saw him looking at himself and subconsciously raised his hand and touched the wound.

"You may need to use a waterproof bandage when going to take your bath. Help the wound to disappear quickly and be free" Theresa Mo instructed.

Junxie Li looked at her from the mirror and they both glanced at each other. "Thank you," he said sincerely.

Theresa Mo saw him being sincere and was moved. He had suddenly been quiet while she was taking care of the wound and only talked when she ask him a question.

She smiled and turned to leave when Junxie held her by the wrist. He pulled her to himself and stood looking into her eyes.

"I love you Theresa," Junxie Li confessed. Before Theresa Mo could reply, he bent slightly and kissed her.

It was brief but has a lot of appreciation in it. He unbuckled his belt when Theresa Mo went downstairs to refill the bedside jug with water.

The servants are supposed to do it but Junxie Li doesn't allow them access into his bedroom. So he does it himself.

Before she came inside, she heard the shower running and Junxie Li had gone to take his bath. She placed the jug down and waited for him to emerge from the bathroom.

When he did, she asked him to take his medicine. Pour him a glass of water and remove it into his palm. He took them all at a time with the water and returned the glass of water to her.

Theresa Mo then smiled and caressed his chin. His skin is like a baby's when he's partially undressed. The skin glitters and is soft.

Junxie Li smiled and thanked her again. Theresa Mo went into the bathroom to bathe too. She came out and didn't see Junxie Li in the room again.

She climbed into the bed and covered herself with the quilt. It wasn't long before she drifted off to sleep.

Next morning, Julia woke up with a panting headache. He had drunk himself to stupor last night. He wants to forget about what Rita told him.

He had a hangover and went to take a bath. He was going to wait to see if Junxie and Theresa Mo are not going to intervene and persuade Rita to keep the pregnancy on his behalf.

He ordered the cook to prepare a sobering soup for him. He drank it all before preparing to go to the company.

Rosa woke up and didn't see Lanre beside her. She touched the place he was supposed to have slept and felt it cold. She sat up quickly.

He really didn't sleep on the same bed with her? He slept somewhere else? Did he bring her to his place and left her alone to sleep on his giant bed?

She understood what happened. Whatever made Lanre behave like this was because she didn't let him have her last night.

She stood up and went to take a bath. She got out of the bathroom and was wondering what she would wear, not wanting to wear the previous day's dirty clothes again.

She saw Lanre had bought her a designer dress. It was like he had slapped her with that act of his.

She got into the dress and applied her make-up from her mini makeup kit. When she came downstairs, she didn't see Lanre.

Wondering where he had been, she saw a servant came to her and said the doctor left early that day.

Rosa squinted. Left early without saying anything to her or waking her up? Was that why the bed was cold on his side?

She smiled and thanked the servant. The breakfast was ready but Rosa left it untouched.

She would pick up breakfast in an eatery and go to work. She is not going to sit there and eat his food. Not after the incident of the previous night.

Theresa Mo got ready and Junxie Li didn't bother to get dressed. He was going to stay back and relax for that day.

They had breakfast together. He told Theresa Mo that he was going to miss her for the next couple of hours. Theresa Mo said she would return home quickly after her dinner with Lu Jingli.

Junxie Li said he would inform Julia Li to follow her afar off so her ex husband doesn't know they were being trailed.

She finished her breakfast and stood up to go. Junxie Li said she should always call him whenever she was going out with anyone.

She asked Junxie Li if she could go to lunch with Rita, Julia's girlfriend. She would want to hear a few words from her and persuade her to keep the pregnancy.

Junxie Li gave her a thumbs up. That's thoughtful of her. Theresa Mo is unique and intelligent. One does not have to tell her everything before she knows what to do.

Theresa Mo soon left after kissing Junxie Li briefly. Junxie Li went to his kids quarters. He was alone and not going to the company.

He doesn't have to stay indoors for the next few hours. He saw the young masters having their breakfast.

They were having a tutor in thirty minutes. He called the servant who is their guardian and asked to see their time table.

He was surprised when he saw they were practicing martial arts. He was impressed, they were practicing self defense mechanisms.

He stayed and waited until their tutor arrived. She's a middle aged woman who could pass for forty years of age.

She was taking them quantitative reasoning. When she saw Junxie sitting between the two boys, she didn't need anyone to introduce Junxie Li to her.

"Mr Li I presume" she said, wearing a faint smile. Junxie Li nodded and offered his hand "you are.."Junxie Li asked, trailing off.

"Ms Xueluo" she replied and took Junxie's hand. They both smiled and Ms Xueluo said his kids looked a lot like him.

Junxie Li smiled broader than thanked her. He likes it when someone tells him the kids look like him. Though he knows, he likes hearing it.

He left for his quarters and called Julia. He told him he wasn't going to be in the company that day. He should take responsibility for the company and offered hand to Theresa whatever she asked him.

Julia Li was dazed. He asked his brother if he had decided to act on what he said the previous day?
