Chapter 32: Things We're Going To Be Different
Lanre wants to know what happened. Junxie Li said it before a few of them in his office that she can have the kids for 24 hours. He can't suddenly go back on his words right? "What do you mean Lanre by asking me what I did? Who is your friend, Junxie or me?" Theresa snapped at him?
Lanre stared at her. He doesn't know what to say to her now besides being quiet.
"All we are concerned about is your wellbeing and that of your boys. You should meet with Junxie Li and discuss how you both will share the custody of your kids.
Am yet to come to terms with how President Li ended up being the hooker your ex husband and sister hired to violate you.
You may have been drugged that night but the President must definitely be with his senses, and can give at least a vivid account of how you ended up that night" Rosa was concerned.
Lanre also wondered and the sudden discovery of President Li's relationship with Theresa Mo's kids left him speechless.
"I don't understand myself. I wish I could remember that incident that night. Oh gosh!.." Theresa lamented.
She then explained how she was trying to escape out of the City with the boys and Junxie Li double crossed her and the rest became a story.
"You should know that Junxie will set a human watch over your movement. Why were you careless?" Lanre demanded?
He further told her that she shouldn't have taken the decision to flee from the city. Her kid's father will henceforth make it difficult for her to meet the boys again.
Junxie Li had just arrived home that night when he received a call from Li's residence. His father had asked him to come over to the residence first thing the next morning and then have breakfast over there. The latter said Ok. What else will his father be saying that is different from what he's used to saying?
Yolanda had visited him and invited him for lunch but he declined. That would be the subject matter to be discussed. He will be there and will be going with the boys.
That night, the newly employed nannies were people trained in the field of helping to raise and look after children. They sang bedtime poems for them and it wasn't long before the boys fell asleep.
Junxie Li was a bit uncomfortable with the way he had treated Theresa Mo. He didn't mean to take the kids away from her so soon but she misused the opportunity of being with the kids.
Next morning, Junxie Li got dressed and asked that the boys be made ready. They were heading to Li's residence. The boys we're dressed in a delicate and expensive suit.
"We are going to see your grandparents. They will be happy to meet you kids" Junxie Li informed them.
"What about mummy, when are we going to see her?" Lee asked. They had left their Mummy in a bad state yesterday. It's not nice on their part to be unfair to their mother simply because they have found their daddy.
"There has to be a change, Lee. You have to live with me until things are sorted out. But your mum can always talk to you on the phone whenever I allow it" Junxie Li answered.
There have to be certain changes in their lives. First, no more public schooling. Tutors will be employed who will teach them various subjects taught at school.
And importantly, they must have an etiquette teacher. They will no longer be seen outside like other kids. That's how the heirs in the Li's family have always been raised.
He would have explained everything to Theresa but she chose to let things happen this way. She would have to seek his permission henceforth before she can see her kids.
But when the kids heard their father say things we're going to be different henceforth, they do not understand. They felt things like living in their daddy's mansion was all that would be different.
They were in the same car as Junxie Li. They experience what it was like to ride in a luxurious car. This one was nothing like the one their Mummy drives.
They didn't know how long it took but their daddy announced that they had arrived. They giggled and were happy.
Junxie Li felt a little irritated and told them to be calm. He doesn't like the screams of children. It makes him feel his environment is noisy and he likes quietness.
He would get them their own Chauffeur that will drive them in a separate car from his henceforth.
They stepped out of the car and the Kids were stunned at the architectural design of the house.
Li's residence has ancient design and architecture built. It was tempered with the touch of modern civilization.
Though ancient, it has flowers planted everywhere and surrounding the building. The land was vast with different fruit plants. The boys looked and didn't seem to see where the land ended or the boundaries. Junxie held their hands and pushed open the door.☐☐☐☐☐
