Chapter 82: Dinner with ex-husband
Theresa Mo looked at him with irritation. No one is asking him to narrate any story. Infact, she doesn't have the time for such nonsense.
Lu Jingli was embarrassed. He didn't know she was going to get irritated by what he was saying. He was trying to make her heart soften so she can readily let go of her grudge against him.
He wasn't pleading on behalf of Tiana and her mother, he was pleading for himself alone.
"Alright I will skip the unnecessary and go straight to the point"Lu Jingli paused, and sighed audibly before he continued "I am sorry for everything I did to you in the past.
I was totally wrong and I have known no happiness since I married Tiana..."Lu Jingli was pleading.
Theresa Mo was just staring at him. She doesn't know what to say or think about Lu Jingli's pleading.
Is she going to think about what his mother said to her and how she dragged her long hair on the floor until she passed out?
Or she should think about how horrible he was when he sent his lawyer after her while on the hospital bed and made her sign the divorce papers and took everything she's got away from her.
Time would fail her to imagine he was having affairs with her younger sister while in the same house with her.
It was barely a few days after she signed the papers that he and Tiana tied the knot. She closed her eyes and heard her mockery and insults that day before turning away from Mo's mansion.
"To prove my sincerity and remorse over what I did, here are the papers to your shares and part of the business I compelled you to sign as compensation to me back then.
Here's a cheque of a hundred million, my total estimate of what your shares have brought you in a couple of years.
Everything you lost because of me, I will refund it double. All I want is your forgiveness. Please Theresa Mo, pardon me for my wickedness" Lu Jingli apologised.
Theresa Mo looked into his eyes and saw he was sincere. He really was remorseful over what he did to her in the past.
Lu Jingli presented the documents to her and they were the same document she received when her father's will was read. She saw it and knew it was the original copy.
"I have heard you. But I haven't said I have forgiven you nor have I forgotten about it. If you want to prove your sincerity, transfer the money into my account all by yourself.
I don't want a cheque. As for the documents, I will go with them because my dad gave me the property and shares. I didn't do you any harm when you snatched everything from me.
So I owe you no thanks. After all you are doing the right thing and straightening the path between us right?" Theresa Mo concluded and asked a question at the end.
Lu Jingli nodded before adding " I will also be resigning from Mo's business as the President. I got there through cheating and conspiracy. I don't want to be there anymore" Lu Jingli stated.
"Mm..mm" Theresa Mo grunted.
Glad he knew he was a cheat and a mischievous person.
"I have a request to make Theresa. Please don't say no"Lu Jingli stated, looking serious but solemn.
Theresa Mo squinted. A request? He has the qualifications to make a request from her simply because she now has a few things in her possession?
She took the documents and papers on the desk between them and slipped them into her bag. She then asked Lu Jingli what his requests were.
"I know you have two kids, twins to be precise. They happened as a result of the incident that night..."Lu Jingli gave an accurate depiction of the truth.
Theresa Mo rolled a white eye. He knew she had sons and knew they were as a result of the act of that night?. That's nice to know. He had really researched and investigated her.
And the results he got were correct. She pouted her lips to prevent herself from smiling. She liked it when someone has done his homework well before approaching someone with the final findings of his research.
"You are right. But you haven't still told me what your requests are" Theresa Mo urged him.
"I want you to let me be their father. It was all my fault that you were taken that night and the result of it are the kids.
Secondly, I want you back as my wife. I realise it's you I love and my life is by your side and not anyone else.
We are supposed not to have parted. But now, I now know that you are mine. Come back to me Theresa and together with the kids, we will become a family" Lu Jingli proposed.
He was glad he had touched the heart of the matter. He wants her back, that's the truth of what he wants.
Theresa Mo was speechless. She stared at the fellow before her. Was he hallucinating or was he on some kind of drug to have talked without thinking.
Married eldest daughter of Zhongtian Mo and divorced her. Married the younger daughter and now wants to return to the eldest daughter again.
Did Zhongtian Mo give birth to his daughters for him to taste and dump them before repicking the one that suits him?
She chuckled aloud and poured herself another glass of mineral water. He was daydreaming. She didn't reply, just left the chuckle to linger on her lips.
"Tiana Mo and I are divorcing. And I want you back into my life. I want us to raise the kids together and be my lifelong companion.
I love you Theresa. I now know I really do. This is coming like a surprise to you I know. But I want you to give me a few more weeks and the divource will go through.
Then we can be free to be with each other forever,"Lu Jingli concluded.
Theresa Mo didn't say anything. She wants him to play around a little. He would think she had agreed and then get divorced.
After he does that, he would then know she's not a fool like he had thought. She was only playing with him like he played with her sometimes ago.
Theresa Mo nodded and Lu Jingli felt his belly sweet. That's what he wanted but didn't expect that Theresa Mo would agree so easily.
Perhaps she was also in love with him. He would hasten his divource with Tiana Mo and let her return to her mother.
Already, the company has been owned by the two daughters again. The lawyers have been notified by him earlier before bringing the documents to Theresa.
He would give Theresa her shares and Tiana Mo will have to face Theresa Mo in the running of the company. He has his own plan well mapped out already.
"Time Theresa, just give me a little more time" Lu Jingli reemphasized. Theresa Mo had used her entire self restraints and prevented herself from laughing out loud.
Soon she stood up and said she was leaving. When everything is put in place, he should contact her again. Meanwhile, she wants to receive the alert of the transaction and wants the Mo's business lawyers to contact her.
Lu Jingli said definitely. He would fulfill her request. She was going to be his again after all.
Theresa Mo wore her dark shade and walked elegantly out of the thatched bar. She saw her car was gone and looked around.
She saw Junxie's car parked and opened the door, slipping into it. She was stunned to see Junxie sitting in the car.
Wasn't he supposed to be resting at home? She turned and saw him resting with his back on the back rest and staring at her.
He wore a short sleeve shirt and his dark shade was hung at the upper button. He looked casual but charming. He took Theresa's hand and pulled her to himself. She fell on his chest, and he caressed her long hair.
Without being told, the chauffeur started the car. Theresa Mo placed her head on his chest and inhaled his body scent.☐☐☐
