Married to the President novel Chapter 96

He went to his computer and now browsed a few things about the orphanage. It has been in existence for some forty years.

He goggled at the different matrons and directors of the orphanage and what periods of time they headed the orphanage.

At the time and year of his adoption, he found out the director and Matron of the orphanage. He got their names and wrote it down on a notepad.

He would get busy with all the activities and try to forget about Rosa. He should have searched and found answers all these years but he had always felt there was no need searching for those who aren't looking for him.

His real parents might not be aware of his existence or better still, they might have died. Why should he trouble himself? So he had thought, but now, he was willing to trouble himself and find out who his parents are.

But now, to kill his depressed mood, he would get to work. He shut down his computer and went to lay on his bed.

Junxie Li walked into the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed. He held his phone in his hand and seemed to be quiet.

" What happened, you look unhappy" Theresa Mo asked. Junxie just sat with his back to her. She sat on the bed and supported her back with a pillow.

She was perussing a fashion magazine. She didn't expect Junxie Li would return into the bedroom so soon after going to his study.

" I am traveling first thing tomorrow morning," Junxie announced. He still didn't look at her. Theresa Mo dropped the magazine in her hand and looked at his back view.

Though he had never travelled beyond a few miles checking on a construction site to inspect or meeting with other Presidents and CEOs of other companies.

He would be away from the office for a few hours and then return. But he was embarking on a journey and he looked unhappy about it.

"Is there an emergency?" Theresa Mo asked, she was still in the position she was when he walked in.

" Yes. I am just getting to know you in my email now. But I still got a few things to do back here and wished the journey would be in a week's time,"Junxie Li explained.

" Can't Julia go in your place if it's inconvenient for you? '' Theresa Mo demanded. He drew closer to Junxie Li by crawling on her hands to him at the edge.

"No. I am the President and it has to be me" Junxie Li replied. He was busy though, but leaving Theresa and the kids for two weeks, was like not seeing them for two years.

He's gotten addicted to them and since they became a family of four, he hasn't travelled so far. He would miss them.

" How long will you stay away?" Theresa Mo asked. He wanted to travel some time ago and she dissuaded him with an excuse that he had an injury that hasn't fully healed. But now, the injury has healed and he has to go.

"Two weeks at the minimum," Junxie Li replied. Theresa Mo told him to stop being gloomy and prepare for the journey the next day.

He said he was going to miss her and the kids and Theresa Mo said they would miss him more. But since he was going for the company, he was going for them all.

Junxie took her hands and kissed it. She makes him feel happy anytime she says things so sweet as what she just said.

"Besides Sweet, what is happening between Julia and his pregnant woman? Are they married now?" Theresa Mo asked.

"I don't know. He is behaving weirdly to me lately and I don't want to poke my nose where it doesn't belong.

Dad called me and asked me the same question earlier today and I gave him the same answer I just gave you.

When he is calm, he will return to himself again. But he has no option than to marry his woman. Dad couldn't refute it and that left him unhappy with everyone" Junxie Li answered.

Theresa Mo said she wished he understood that they meant him no ill when they wholly agreed that he should Marry Rita for the child's sake.

The next morning, Junxie Li was dressed up smartly and handsomely when Theresa Mo joined him for breakfast.

The boys were seated too. They were gradually getting taller and soon it would be their fourth birthday.

One of the things she observed about them is that their complexion has turned more whiter than before.

They no longer enter the sun nor do they eat anything less than a balanced diet. Their skin was more like Junxie's than her.

Though her own skin now glitters more than before, she can't compare her skin with that of the boys.

"My cutie pies," Theresa Mo called out and went to touch their Chubby chin. They seemed more chubbier and cute looking.

They definitely would attract a lot of attention when they step out of the mansion one day.

"Good morning mummy"they chorused simultaneously. They paused their breakfast when they greeted their mother and only returned to it after she replied to them.

Junxie Li was impressed."Good morning sweet"Theresa Mo greeted, going over and planting a featherlight kiss on his chin.

"Good morning dear" Junxie Li replied, taking her palm and giving it a light squeeze. He soon announced that he was full and asked the boys to be good.

He was traveling but their mummy was still around. He hoped to be back in a few weeks.

Theresa Mo escorted him to the car, before sliding into the car, he held her by the waist and told her he loves her.

He hoped when he returned, she would have been ready to be his wife. He kissed her lips deeply and passionately.

He didn't want to stop but raised his hand and looked at his wristwatch. He was going to be late for his flight. He said goodbye to her and the chauffeur drove him in the direction of the airport.

Theresa Mo got inside her car, and her chauffeur drove her to the company. She felt a part of her was empty without Junxie around her.

She missed him already. She hoped in the near future, she would be ready to travel around with him. She would be ready to give him a positive response when he returns.

She was stepping out of the elevator when Julia was also stepping into the lobby from another end. They exchanged glances and a hi before each went into their various offices.

Soon, Theresa Mo went to Julia's office to have a few words with him..
