SWNOVELS Chapter 166: Love makes a woman stupid
Rita didn't reply to them both but just gave a nod and everyone was speechless. They were divorced a long time ago and no one knew about it? "Bullshit" Alfred bellowed. He slammed his fist against the wall and his knuckles bleed. He glared at Rita with an angry stare.
"And you agree with him and stay in his house? What kind of love makes a woman so stupid? You are nothing to him and you remain with him Rita?
I thought you were smart and wise. You have always been the best student in college and in your department in the University. When did you become stupid?
How can you allow him play you like a football and you remained with him enduring pain and his torture.
He sleeps out and returns to sleep with you like a maid who doesn't have a say of her own, but goes wherever she's tossed to.
Where is the sister I used to know? What has come over you? Why can't you share your experience with me even if mum wasn't around then? Do you still treat me as your brother?" Alfred was yelling. Rita closes her eyes at her brother's words. They were like a needle poking deep inside her.
"Since I became pregnant and I told him, he never slept with me again till this moment. He got married to me because his brother imposed the marriage on him.
We live as Mansion mates and in our separate rooms. Whenever he decides to sleep at home, which is rare though, he comes home with his woman and he was being deliberate about it.
Later he asked for a divorce and I gave him what he wanted. The day he insulted me and said I was less than a mistress or a girlfriend. That I was an incubator who is good at carrying his child and when the child is born, he would discard me like trash.
That was when I guess the depression sets in. He said it before his girlfriend Xixi and they both ridiculed me..." Rita started sobbing.
Julia felt the floor should have an opening so he can hide there to prevent the chilling stare coming from his brother.
Or that the wall should have a crack, so we can pass through and disappear. He couldn't look at his brother but was feeling the chilling effect of his stare.
Alfred glared at Julia. If he wasn't his elder, he would have started punching him and left him with a black eye. He hates and despises him greatly. Carol Li couldn't stand properly anymore. She was going to fall and Theresa rushed forward and held her in her embrace "Careful mother" Junxie Li came over quickly and made his mother sit on the couch. She shouldn't harm herself because of her senseless Son.
Carol Li was sobbing quietly. What sin had she committed to have a Son like Julia? May the spirit of her ancestors forgive her.
"Are you really my Son Julia or you were exchanged at birth? What sin have I committed in my previous life to have given birth to a son like you!
May the spirit of Buddha forgive me for my sins and not judge me by having a son like you..." Carol Li was sobbing.
Monica saw Carol Li's condition and became speechless. She felt pity at the woman and her words clearly shows she disapproved of what her son did.
"Are you ok mother?" Theresa Mo asked. She immediately regretted asking. How can she be ok with her present look, words and sob.
"How can I be ok when I am jinxed with a son like Julia?" Carol Li answered between sobs. Theresa Mo sat beside her and held her head close to her chest resting it on her boobs. Junxie Li was making a call "Come over and take mum to rest at home" he said and looked at his mother's pathetic state.
"I'm sorry, but all of you have to leave. My mother and I would look after my sister. And please, I don't want to see any member of Li's family close to my sister anymore.." Alfred declared. It's not only their mother that would leave. They all should go. Their presence irritates and annoys him.
"Sorry about everything Rita. I wished the baby had lived to console you but it's beyond what I could prevent.
Ms Monica, Alfred, sorry about it all. I know you feel hurt because I am also hurt by everything. But I want you to know that I am not aware of any of this idiot's attitude towards Rita.
Had she told me or my fiance, she wouldn't have experienced any of that. But what can be done to rescue a spilled milk?
I will see that Rita gets compensated. I promise you that.." Junxie Li said and bowed slightly before Ms Monica just as two of his bodyguards walked in.
He told them to wait as he Carried his mother princessly and walked out. Theresa Mo went quickly to Rita and kissed her chin for a few seconds and then blew her kisses before stepping out.
Rita subconsciously stretched her hand to hold Theresa Mo but she left with tears in her eyes and stood at the door, turned at her and waved at her before leaving.
Rita was going to miss Theresa Mo. She's been a wonderful woman and has a heart of gold.
Monica liked President Li. He had proven himself to be more noble by his words. She wished her daughter had encountered such a man rather than his brother. Junxie Li carried his mother despite her telling him she is fine and can walk with her legs. He refused and said he didn't want her to walk to the car.
Julia followed from behind. His legs were heavy and he dragged them along walking towards the car park where his brother placed his mother in the car.
Ms Carol Li's chauffeur was ready to drive her home. Junxie Li asked them to go ahead.
Theresa slipped into the car with Carol Li and held her hand to calm her disappointed spirit. Junxie Li didn't say anything but got into his car and his chauffeur followed. Julia got into his own and drove after them. The three cars were going in the direction of Li's residence.
Carol Li thanked Theresa Mo and said she was glad she has a daughter like Theresa. She couldn't ask for a better daughter in-law to be.
She blessed her and said she hoped that soon her wedding with Junxie Li would take place. May she find happiness all her life. Theresa Mo thanked her. She smiled and said she hopes to bore her another grandchild in the future if Junxie Li agrees.
Carol Li said she shouldn't worry about Junxie Li agreeing or not, she has agreed already and now counts it a debt on her.
She should bear her little princess. The princess should look like her and not Junxie. She asked if she wouldn't be happy to see a miniature of her running around the house. Theresa can't help but laugh quietly. Junxie's mother wants a daughter that looks like her. Who can predict a child's phenotype?
What if it's a female version of Junxie again? He reproduced himself in the boys, what if it happened with a daughter too?
Julia tears gave way. A few drops of tears found their way through his eye socket. What had he done? Hasn't he lost Rita forever?
What about his family? There is definitely a repercussion of what he had done. Junxie wouldn't let it go simply. He knows his brother better than anyone could describe him.
He would punish him severely. For divorcing Rita secretly and for treating her inhumanly. He heard his words before leaving the hospital ward and knew beyond his words, he would act.
His mother was another subject. She was heartbroken by his actions. If he had envisaged that something like this was going to happen, he would not have treated Rita in such a mean way.
Somewhere in him, he still wants Rita. But he had done something no one expected him to have ever done. He left her and was chasing women out there.
She even said that he hadn't touched her since she was pregnant, Junxie Li was going to capitalize on it and accused him of sleeping with different women when he had a woman waiting for him at home. If he hadn't caught him and Xixi in the office, he could deny it to some degree. But now, every accusation points at him and he has no way to defend himself.
He cleaned the drop of tears and waited. He would wait and see what his punishments were, they were inevitable.
As they approach Li's residence, Junxie Li has concluded what he would do to his brother. He would show his brutal side and make him know he is the master of the Li's family.
His offenses were much and the same way, his punishment would be measured. He subjected them to shame. He was the one who went after Rita and was dating her.
Even if he capitalized on the fact that she trapped him, it was because he went there. He fucked her and she took advantage of his seed in her and let it develop into pregnancy.
He hadn't seen anything wrong in what Rita did. She was smart and she's such a woman who wanted to get a man committed to her.
But she didn't know that the Julia she was trying to get committed to be an asshole. He had shown her his beastly side.
As they alighted from the car, Julia's heart almost skipped, he doesn't know what awaits him...000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
