DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 85: I have lost to you both
Junxie Li was quiet, listening to the argument between his woman and his brother. Theresa Mo is decent and a role model for other women to emulate.
"You don't love her but you like to drink from her well right? You don't love her but the child she is carrying interests you.
How can you say that Julia? I don't know if I can ever fall in love with any man. The past was always hunting me until I met Junxie.
I hated myself initially like I should strangulate him. But now Julia, words can't express how much I feel for him right now.
I initially accepted him because of my kids. What can I do, I can't change the fact that he is their father. But now, I love him more than I ever thought I can and I am still Loving him daily.
So even if you don't love her, accept her for the baby's sake. You will develop feelings for her and you both will be happy like I am happy now" Theresa Mo declared.
"You are different. You had made sacrifices and now you deserve to be loved and to also love. I want to marry a woman like you Theresa. A sweet, innocent woman like you"Julia replied and there was quietness.
For a long time, no one said anything. Junxie Li finally spoke "Every child of Li's family is important. And the one in Rita's belly is no exception.
You have had enough fun Julia but this one has come as a bone in the neck. You can't swallow it nor can you spit it out.
Choose a day within the next three days, take Rita to see Dad and Mum. Get married to Rita" Junxie Li threw it like a bombshell.
Julia's countenance changed. He glared at his elder brother and the latter stared at him coldly.
"I will not Marry her elder brother!"Julia blurted out. He least expected that his brother would be by Theresa's side. How can he say he should Marry Rita?
"I am not giving you a suggestion, I am ordering you Julia Li" Junxie Li thundered, his voice was a little high.
"You think you can force me to marry her? I will not do what you said Junxie" Julia retorted back.
The two brothers are now quarrelling. Theresa Mo was no longer comfortable. She tried to raise her head from Junxie's shoulder but the latter forced her back.
"I dare you Julia. I swear you try to defy my orders and see the consequences of it. Have you gone off your mind that you don't know you are talking to me?" Junxie Li thundered.
Julia Li was quiet. Junxie Li is the master of the Li's family and his orders automatically become a law except his dad refutes it.
"I will tell Dad about it" Julia declared and stood up, without saying a goodbye, he walked out of the house.
Theresa Mo sighed softly. "Sweet, you were too.."she was going to say he was too tough a while ago.
But Junxie Li raised his hand and stopped her from completing her statement. She doesn't know why he talked authoritatively to Julia.
"You don't know the rules and power of the Li's family" Junxie Li said simply. He stood up and was going upstairs, while unbuttoning his clothes.
Theresa Mo accompanied him from behind. She doesn't know what to say but knows the younger brother is unhappy with the elder.
"Can I talk please, just a few Lines?"Theresa Mo inquired. "Say what you want to say," Junxie Li replied, Opening the bedroom door and stepping in.
"Coax Julia and not just talk like you are his father. He is a full grown man Junxie" Theresa Mo pleaded.
"I have to be firm and authoritative when I have to. Is not always I coax and plead. It is my position to do the right thing whoever the person is under my power" Junxie Li replied.
Theresa Mo squinted. What was he saying? He seemed to talk in parables.
"Why do you think my parents followed me home after the issue with the Zu's to plead with me? When you came into this mansion for the first time that night, I asked you if you had slept with any man after I slept with you that night.
Why did I do such a thing and why were my parents here? You didn't ask, that is why you didn't know,"Junxie Li declared.
He turned to stare at her. She looked lost and simply stared at him with a kind of eyes that explains that she is confused.
"Tell me everything Junxie" Theresa Mo said, walking past him and dropping her bag.
Junxie Li brought her to sit at the edge of the bed. "I am the master of the Li's family. No one can defy my orders. Once I pass it, it becomes a law and everyone has to obey it except my father.
If I had insisted that I will deal with the Zu's that day, there's nothing my father could do in that case since he was the one who crossed me. But if it was someone else, he can come into it and salvage the situation.
And for asking you if you had slept with someone else, I would never have touched you. You automatically belong to that fellow.
I may have taken your first time, but it was not with your senses or your permission per say. The one you willingly gave yourself to is your man Theresa and I can't take someone else's property.
That was Why I tried for years, searching for you to bring you to myself and I couldn't get involved with another woman except I have clarified that you have become someone else's.
Until my kids are old enough and my dad is no more can I hand the position over to my eldest son.
That's all for now. When next you need to know more, you will know" Junxie Li declared.
Theresa Mo nodded. He had a special title in the family. He is indeed a man of repute.
Junxie's phone started ringing. He looked at the caller ID and his face became cold again.
"Hello dad... yes I did..
he called you reporting me and asking you to nullify my orders..one of his numerous girlfriends is pregnant.
He wants to have the baby and not Marry it's Mother. The woman said she would abort the pregnancy if Julia doesn't marry her...what do you expect that I do in that case dad?
That child is a Li and it is my responsibility to protect the lives of every member of the family as long as I have the ability to do so.
I couldn't let the woman abort the pregnancy so I said he must marry her and that has to be soonest..he can choose to divource her after the baby is born, that is not my problem.
But at the moment, he must Marry her and that is my final verdict" Junxie Li declared and hung up.
He strode out of the room and Theresa Mo sighed audibly. Such a complex family to understand. In a few years time, her baby boy will be in his father's position?
Lu Jingli was not able to quench the excitement he felt after his conversation with Theresa Mo. He feels a heavy burden has been lifted off his shoulder.
He celebrated by taking a few bottles of liquor and came home a little tipsy. Tiana was waiting for him to return home.
She was wondering why he stayed a little longer than usual. Since they got reconciled, he doesn't stay out late again.
He had told him he was having an appointment with someone that evening. But he wasn't supposed to stay that long.
Finally, she heard the horn of his car. She quickly stood up and went to wait at the door. When the door opened, she embraced him and took his portfolio.
He was feeling excited. Tiana Mo was surprised at how cheerful Lu Jingli looked that evening. Had that fellow he had an appointment with offered him a good prospect and partnership?
Lu Jingli was walking into the house and Tiana followed. "Tell me something darling, why are you so excited?" She asked.
"You have no idea how light and flexible I feel this evening. The burdens heavy on my heart have melted away and I am free from guilt" Lu Jingli replied, sinking into the sofa.
"Tell me about it" Tiana said, taking a seat by his side. Her ears are itching her to hear about it.
Lu Jingli knows what he is about to say will be the beginning of their estranged relationship. His next words was going to mared their marriage forever and that is exactly what he wants.
He wants her to go so he can marry Theresa Mo quickly and have her kids as his. Tiana and her mother are a pain in his ass.
"Remember I told you I was going to see someone for dinner tonight right?" Lu Jingli asked and Tiana Mo nodded. He smiled and continued.......‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
