SWNOVELS Chapter 21: Surprice Call
"Hello Junxie, I just arrived at Country A. I was thinking of meeting you for Lunch tomorrow, "Yolanda Zu asked.
She had been engaged to Junxie Li for the past two years and he had never taken an interest in her nor their relationship.
She was an undergraduate at the time. But she had since graduated and Junxie Li was not showing interest in her.
"I am busy," Junxie Li replied and hung up. He doesn't know why some women are so daft. She should know already that he had no interest in settling down with her.
His parents and hers are friends and they intend to strengthen their bond of friendship by getting their children married.
He was forced by his father into it. At the time he said he didn't like Yolanda Zu but his father insisted that he wasn't asking him to love her before getting engaged.
He would gradually grow into loving her. Love is a gradual process. And once he knows he has a Fiancee, he would learn to love her.
But two years have passed now and he is not getting to love her nor grow into loving her as his father had claimed. Instead his dislike for her increased on a daily basis.
Yolanda was dazed. What nonsense? How could Junxie Li hang the call when she was the one who called him?
She had asked him for lunch and that is definitely going to take place. She's back now and wants to get married and have a home, raise children.
Junxie Li isn't going to deny her that. She's his Fiancee and he should realise that she should be respected.
Tomorrow, she was storming the Li's Group and would be with Junxie Li. Then she would see if he would send her away or not. He dares not do the former otherwise, she would make him realise that she's a daughter of the Zu's family.
Lanre called Theresa Mo and asked her if she was missing her kids. Well she would have to endure the night because they would not be coming home.
Theresa Mo asked that she talk with them and Lanre said they are not with him at the moment but he would bring them over the next day.
Theresa Mo became uncomfortable. She asked if everything was fine and Lanre said everything will be fine.
Not convinced enough, she asked him to tell her the truth. Lanre said he was going to explain everything to her the next day when he brought the boys.
But that night, he doesn't want her to feel unnecessarily worried. The boys are fine and in safe hands. He had to spend a considerable minutes on the phone persuading Theresa Mo that Tim and Lee Mo are fine.
When Lanre felt she had been convinced enough, he ended the call. But it was the beginning of her worries.
Where are her boys? They are not with Lanre. Could they have been with Rosa? She took her phone and called Rosa but the latter didn't answer her phone.
Rosa was avoiding talking to her. That means the boys are not with her. Different thoughts were now dropping in her mind.
Has Tiana and Lu Jingli taken her kids? No, it can't be. Lanre said they are in safe hands. How safe is where they are?
She doesn't want anything to happen to her boys. She had found happiness and satisfaction with them and taking them away from her was never going to be allowed.
She didn't know when she started sobbing, but only felt a drop of tears fall on her arm. She cleaned the tears off and pretended to be a woman.
Lanre Said the next day right, in the morning to be precise. She would wait and see her boys the next day. It's getting late already and soon she will sleep off.
By the time she opened her eyes again, it would be dawn and then her babies would arrive.
But Theresa Mo lies to herself. She couldn't sleep at all. She was awake and her eyes were wide open till the next day. She would walk over to her baby's room and touch the quilt as if looking for them on it. She ended up dozing off at 4am in her kids room. While she was worried, Junxie Li had ordered Pascal Lee, his assistant, to get pyjamas for the boys.
The next day, a paediatrician would be consulted to give a counselling how kids rooms should be designed and their favorite colors.
They had their dinner of noodles and went to bed. They slept in two large beds in a room next to Junxie Li. The kids asked him to call their mother and he said he would take them to see her the next day. Tim asked that he sing them a bed night story. Junxie Li felt his temple went blank. Bedtime story? How was he going to do that?
He called his nanny. The woman was in her late forties.she was said to have been Junxie's Li's nanny when he was young.
And till he grew up, he liked her very much and she came over to his place to continue working for him.
Ms Diddy wasn't expecting that the eldest master would call her so late from her quarters. All the same, she stood up and came.
"I don't know anything about bedtime stories. Can you bail me out with my kids?" Junxie Li asked.
He is not in the habit of asking for help from people. But with Ms Diddy, he can't hide himself. Besides his mother, another woman he respects so much is Ms Diddy.
"Kids?" Ms Diddy asked, staring at her. Junxie Li shook his head and looked away not wanting to meet her gaze.
"I'll explain everything to you Ms Diddy. But come with me" Junxie Li asked, walking in front of her and going into the room next to his.
Ms Diddy got in and saw two adorable boys with a striking semblance to Junxie Li. She looked at the latter and their eyes locked.
She smiled and shook her head in excitement. The eldest master really has had a woman in his life?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
