SWNOVELS Chapter 36: Lu Jingli has been sleeping with Theresa Mo
Her eyes became teary. She looked out of the window, not wanting Julia to see her tears again. She only wants to see her boys.
"I have lived with them for over three years now and practically got addicted to them. But your brother just took them away leaving me to live solo" Theresa explained.
Julia saw her sniffling and listened to her. He felt she was not feeling happy. Her present mood was different from the vibrant one she used to have before this whole issue came up.
"I understand how you feel Theresa. But you went the extreme yesterday when you slapped him. Junxie has never been slapped by anyone in his life.
You need to apologise to him first and when you feel he has forgiven you, then talk to him about the kids and hear what he feels" Julia Li advised.
"I will not apologise to him. Do you know what the effect of what he did to me four years ago cost me?" Theresa blurted out.
"Allow Junxie to explain exactly what happened that night. If you don't have a glimpse of it in your memory.
Junxie Li is my brother. And I know better than anyone else his sexual orientation. He's never had time for women and I might guess that you are his first.
He won't do that to you without a reason. Give him a chance to explain himself. He's been engaged to a woman for two years now and never as much as holds the hand of his fiancee let alone kissing her.
You have to make peace with him and make him happy with you otherwise, you won't be seeing your kids. Please get close to him" Julia Li concluded and turned on the car's ignition.
Throughout the way back to the company, none of them talked. Theresa sighed. If she has to put her ego aside and do things that would make Junxie Li happy, then so be it.
Tiana Mo had gone to see her mother. It's been a while since they had time out together for lunch.
Molly kept passing glances at her daughter. Tiana had never been so moody and appeared so unhappy not even when she lost her pregnancies.
She took Tiana's hand across the table and gave it a light squeeze. She was having dumplings for lunch while Tiana chose to have pancakes.
Tiana smiled faintly at her mother. She had always been a princess to her mother. Being an only child, her mother had raised her to be a delicate lady who always got whatever she wanted.
But that Theresa Mo had been the third party in their family until she was thrown out like a flea.
Molly Mo smiled back. Her daughter's inability to have a baby has really made her an unhappy woman.
She had invited her to discuss surrogacy. They would choose that option if Tiana is unable to have a baby herself.
Every woman wants to have a baby in marriage but if her daughter's uterus is too weak to carry a foetus, they would find a woman whose uterus would be able to act as an incubator.
After finishing their meal, Tiana cleaned her mouth with a wet tissue and carefully moved her hair to the back of her ears.
"My baby, what's making you brood? Talk to mummy and I will offer you my shoulders to lean on" Molly Mo said taking her both hands. "Mum I really need your shoulder at this critical time when my marriage is at the verge of collapse. I am losing Lu Jingli mum!" Tiana sighed.
Molly drew back her hand. She looked alarmed. She can't imagine the nonsense that Tiana just said. Who dares to flirt with her Son inlaw?
Lu Jingli dares to cheat in marriage? He is Tiana's husband and not every woman's man. If he makes her daughter unhappy, she would definitely make his life a living hell.
"Is Lu Jungli playing infidelity in marriage?" Molly Mo inquired, looking annoyed already.
"He's been cheating mum. But the one he's cheating on me with is someone you would least expect. So demeaning" Tiana hissed.
"Tell me everything Tiana and don't spare Lu Jingli" Molly Mo bellowed, smashing her fist on the table.
"Lu Jingli has been sleeping with Theresa Mo. Can you imagine that mum?" Tiana blurted.
Theresa arrived at the company and said thanks to Julia Li. She went to her office. She needed to finish up the plan and submit it before the end of the day.
She was down to work when Junxie Li walked into her office. She raised her head and saw him. She wanted to be furious with him again but chose not to, remembering what Julia said earlier.
"Is there anything you want from me, President Li?" Theresa sounded formal. She wasn't showing any trait of being upset with him anymore.
Junxie Li stood a few meters from her with his hands in his pants pocket. He didn't know she's going to be calm seeing him. He stared at her without answering her question.
"I will be through with the plan soon and I will submit it to your office" Theresa spoke politely.
"I didn't come for the plan, I came for you Theresa!" Junxie Li replied with an express se.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
