Chapter 152: Don't be quick to judge
FindNovels.com Anty Lulu was angry and she glared at Lanre. The latter looked at her eyes and turned his face away. He had never seen his nanny so angry with him like this. Infact, she had never been angry with him before. Instead of being angry and upset with him, she would ask him not to talk to her for a certain minute or hour.
In such cases, he would go to her and apologise. They had lived like that for years till now. But the face that stares angrily at him now, is a little scary to him. "I'm sorry nanny" Lanre said respectfully and bowed slightly. Theresa also apologised on behalf of Lanre and Aunt Lulu became a little calm.
But there was silence. Aunt Lulu seemed not to want to say anything else. Perhaps she has lost the interest of saying anything to the twins.
Lanre's eyes went red. He had missed the most important people in his life, his parents. He glanced at Theresa Mo and their eyes locked.
Simultaneously, as if their minds were working together they stood up and walked to each other. Theresa was sobbing loudly but Lanre was not but one can tell he was emotional.
They hugged each other like they had never. Lanre was taller hence Theresa barely reached his shoulder. He held her tight and closed his eyes.
Theresa's hand was around his waist as she sobbed " dad told me I had a brother but he's dead, he died when he was born... (sobs) he wished he didn't die, dad longed to have you..." she couldn't say anything more as her voice choked.
Theresa's tears and words sent a cold shiver through everyone's spine. Junxie, who sat quietly like a rock, felt a little moved.
A father who knew he had a son but he was dead and longed, wished that boy never died. He probably would have thought the son was waiting for him on the other side but alas, he was alive, happy and bearing another's name.
Aunt Lulu was moved. She stared at Xiaoxi's children and her tears ran down her cheeks. She never anticipated what a day like this would look like.
"Sister!!"Lanre uttered, he ran his hands over Theresa's hair and finally placed his lips on her temple, it wasn't a featherlight kiss but a long time, he wouldn't remove his lips from her temple.
Junxie became a little uncomfortable and he coughed slightly. Lanre understood and let go. " I had loved you sister from the day you came for that pregnancy test.
I couldn't explain but I felt I should go after you and see you fine since you said you don't know who got you pregnant. That feeling was genuine, it wasn't anything erotic.
I didn't know at the time that you were my sister. I wish I had known earlier, perhaps I would have gotten acquainted with you more..." Lanre said, wiping the tears off her face with his index finger.
"You did exactly what you would have done if you had known earlier. I had thought we weren't destined to Meet in this world" Theresa replied, locking eyes with him.
"You look 60 parts like dad. Why didn't I ever think of the possibility that you might be my brother?" Theresa stated.
"That's because you thought your brother was dead.
