SWNOVELS Chapter 20: Took them home
Rosa reluctantly agreed and Lanre told her that nothing is going to happen to the boys. He suspected that Junxie Li might really be the boy's father.
No one can do anything to kids that look very much like him. If he was the kid's father, they would be powerless against him.
Rosa was driven home. As she wanted to step out of the car, Lanre said "You are forgetting something".
Rosa sat back and looked around where she was seated. She didn't seem to see what she had forgotten. She looked at Lanre and saw him wearing a mischievous smile.
"What did I forget?"Rosa asked, not understanding what Lanre saw that made him say she was forgetting something.
"My lips are waiting," Lanre said and Rosa smiled. "No kisses for you tonight for being mischievous" and stepped out.
Lanre laughed and waved at her as she shut the door. He drove off and Rosa got into the house. She was still wearing a smiling face when she stepped in.
Her mother was watching a movie in the sitting room when Rosa entered. "Hello mum" Rosa greeted and went over planting a featherlight kiss on her chin.
"How have you been?" Her mother said, welcoming her. Rosa sank into the sofa and sighed audibly.
Her mother glanced at her and squinted. "Anything the matter?" She asked and Rosa explained everything that happened between the boys and the President of the Li's Group that took them away. Rosa's mother asked that didn't her ex husband say he paid a hooker to have her that night? How could that hooker turn out to be Junxie Li of the Li's Group?
Rosa said that's what baffled her. But Lanre saw the surveillance camera.
He said the boys were the spitting image of Junxie Li.
That aspect makes things complex to her. She doesn't know how being taken by a hooker ended up being such a honourable person.
Rosa's mother said she hoped it was really good that the kid's father is Junxie Li. At least that would be better that Theresa Mo doesn't have to worry about the future and financial life of the kids. Rosa said she doesn't know what would happen if Junxie Li is the father of the kids. Will he let the kids remain with their mother?
She's afraid he would want custody of the boys and in that case, what would Theresa do? She's just an employee under him and cannot be financially buoyant enough to hire an expensive lawyer against the likes of Junxie Li.
Rosa's mother said she agreed with what Rosa said. She hoped everything would work out in Theresa's favor. That woman deserves to be happy with her kids and not getting into other strings of challenges. Junxie Li arrived at his Villa. He's Villa was next to Julia Li. They could stroll into each other's compound without any form of restrictions.
The kids stepped out of the car and opened their mouths in amazement. Such a big house. How many people live in the house?
They've only seen such houses in movies and story books. The vast compound was surrounded by flowers and a swimming pool was located at an extreme end.
Once or twice, their mummy takes them to the swimming pool but she would let a trainer guide their little limbs before letting them swim.
Junxie Li saw the looks of surprise on their faces with a mixture of excitement. Have these kids been living poor all these while?
"Come along kids," Junxie Li said. How was he going to cope with the boys? He had never been with kids before nor taken care of them ever.
He walked in front and the little fellows exchanged glances at each other and followed him.
They knew what they were doing was wrong.
Following a stranger simply because they assume he is their father. If mummy knew what mischief they were getting into, she would definitely frown at them. When they stepped into the sitting room, Tim couldn't hide his excitement and he screamed "wow, you are living in paradise!" Junxie Li looked at his bodyguards and dismissed them. He squatted before the boys "This is where we all will be living kids. How old are you?" Junxie Li asked, looking from Tim to Lee and tried as much as he could to smile and appear friendly. "We are three and six months old. How old are you too?" The kids asked. "I'm twenty seven," Junxie Li answered. He took his seat and pulled the boys closer to him. He hugged them tightly. These boys were his.
On the way to the hospital, he was meditating and thinking how old the kids would be if they were his children.
It was four years ago and a few months, three months to be precise. If that incident results in pregnancy, the kids would be born exactly nine months after.
By now the kids should be around three years and three months to be exact. The boys in the car with him look like children of that age though a little taller than the age.
He determined he was going to ask them when they got into the villa. And as expected, it was exactly as he calculated.
They looked tall, which is a typical picture of the members of Li's family. They all are tall both the female and male cousins.
His phone started ringing. He looked on the screen and frowned, not now, she shouldn't be calling him now:☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
