Married to the President novel Chapter 165

"What about Julia, are you going to leave him alone to grieve?" Monica asked. They both have lost the baby and he definitely must be grieving as well.

Rita kept sobbing and shook her head. She doesn't want to stay with Julia. Alfred saw through and knew that she was no longer interested in covering up for her damn husband.

" If she wants to go home with us, mum, let her be" Alfred supported his sister. She should come with them. He would not agree for her to get back to Julia, not after what he just discovered.

"A woman can't just leave her husband like that. If Julia agrees, she can come with us" Monica corrected.

Alfred became angry " Julia was there and she had depression. Mum, did you even know that's what lead to the miscarriage?" He explained.

Monica turned and looked at Julia and then her daughter. Rita, depression, what happened?

"How can you fall into depression baby? Aren't you happily married to Julia? Didn't you say he cares about you and loves you?

You have a handsome husband who loves and gives you all you want. You have a job and you are comfortable. What might have led you into depression…?"Monica looked lost.

Junxie felt his head go blank. Rita was painting her husband as an angel and he was far from being called a loving husband. He wished things didn't take this dimension.

Julia's eyes went red. She said those great words about him? She really didn't hate him for treating her so badly and saying horrible words at her.

If he had known that she said those words about him, he would have cared about her instead. He wouldn't have been so mean to her.

"Mum, Rita has been covering up for her damn husband. He is nothing like she describes him to be.

Why wouldn't she fall into depression when her husband is a womaniser. He is married to Rita and she's pregnant with his child but he goes about chasing women all over the city.

He doesn't sleep at home. Rita is always lonely and you wonder why she went into depression? Even last night, this fellow spent the night with a woman in the hotel…"Alfred exposed.

Monica was perplexed. What is Alfred saying to discredit his brother-in-law? Do they both have grudges against each other or he doesn't like the man his sister got married to?

Rita sobbing became louder. She felt everything had no meaning anymore. She had covered up for Julia and she has ended up like this.

Everything she had been trying to conceal, Alfred has known and he has exposed it before everyone present. The only person that is not there is Cheng Li, Julia's father. The game was up.

"Alfred be quiet. Don't say such horrible words at your brother-in-law. You are making Rita sob more,"Monica cautioned.

She glared at her Son angrily. What she expects of him right now is to console and stand by his sister and not to give her more reason to sob.

"You don't believe me mum? Julia is here and Rita should for once say the truth about who her husband's personality is.." Alfred was serious.

Monica kept glaring at him but he saw how serious and genuine Alfred looked. She doesn't know if she should keep scolding him or ask Rita to say something to approve or disapprove what her brother said.

"He's right mum. My marriage is fake!" Rita blurted out. She cleaned her tears and held her mother's hand " I'm sorry mum, I've been lying to you.." she confessed.

Monica was lost.

She stared at her daughter's pathetic state and her tears gave way. Rita has been enduring her marriage and relationship with Julia all these months?

Why should her daughter experience a similar fate like her? Was she jinxed to live her life without a man and her daughter who she thought was happy in her marriage actually was married to a terrible man?

Julia looked like someone who's heart was beating beyond 72 times per minute and he was sweating suddenly.

Junxie was there with his mother. If the truth gets out, he was done for. Junxie will unleash his wrath on him.

Monica turned and looked at Julia. The latter locked eyes with her and turned his head away. The pain in Monica's eyes could make him freeze for guilt.

" Julia, you treated my baby so badly? What had she done to you that you cannot be human towards her despite she was carrying your child?

Ms Carol Li, what did you do about your son's attitude and inhuman treatment towards my daughter? Did you do anything about it?

President Li, I hadn't met you but I had respected you for years. You are a noble and a perfect gentleman. Do I need to worry when I Know that my daughter is married to your brother?

I didn't know Julia as much as I have heard about you. But I concluded that if you are so perfect, your brother couldn't be less perfect than you are.

You all that I trusted so much watched and folded your hands looking at my daughter go into depression? If she was your sister President Li, how would you feel if a man treated her that way?

Ms Carol Li, if she were your daughter, would you applaud the man who treated your daughter this way? I have lost faith in you all…" Monica started sobbing.

The private ward was as quiet as a graveyard. No one uttered any word except for Monica's sobbing. It wasn't Rita sobbing now, it was Monica.

Carol Li said nothing but she was sniffling. She didn't know that Rita was experiencing all these.

She wouldn't have hesitated to bring her to Li's residence if she had said anything to her. She never knew anything about what Rita was going through.

But how does she say it to Monica that she didn't know when she's Rita's mother in law. Her Son had made her lose face today and placed her at a point where she's between the rock and a hard place.

Junxie Li's palm formed a fist. How can Julia drag the family name into mire? How can someone say to him and his mother that she has lost faith in them?

If Rita was Paula or his immediate sister, he would have punched that man and broken his bones so that he also can lie on the hospital bed like her.

What can he say now? He had ordered that Julia marry Rita because of the pregnancy, he married reluctantly and after that, he hadn't heard anything again.

Why didn't Rita inform him of Julia's misbehaviour? He was sleeping around like a dog but he didn't know he had completely abandoned his wife.

He even slept out last night and yet was going to do it with Xixi in his office that morning? What kind of person is Julia?

Monica suddenly cleaned her tears and sniffled. She held Rita's hand and said "You know what baby, you will go home with momma.

But I want you to do something that will make you happy, you file a divorce immediately and end your miserable marriage.

Julia doesn't deserve you. He is a pain in the ass. Let him go and be free... Monica was saying when Rita interrupted her.

"Oh that, you have to be relaxed mum, we were already divorced less than a month after that damn marriage we had.

He was waiting for me to birth the baby and we went our separate ways…"Rita opened up.

" What !", " What are you saying Rita?" Both Monica and Carol Li asked at the same time.
