SWNOVELS Chapter 47: Compromise
Theresa Mo soon revived Tim and he was looking pale. The servants were worried as well. They can't return to their quarters.
They have never seen a situation like this before. These boys seemed to be different. Ms Diddy went close to Theresa Mo and told her to stop sobbing. They will be fine.
Theresa Mo nods her head and asks that she go and see Lee. She handed Tim to Ms Diddy and went to see Lee.
He was Laid on the bed and Theresa Mo said " Lee my baby. Didn't you say I should inform you if anyone ever tried to bully me?
But it's you and Tim that is bullying me right now. Wake up and tell me anything you want. I know that like Tim, you want your daddy and I to be together.
Your daddy is engaged to someone else. He loves her, not me. He doesn't want to give you a false hope and I quite understand it.
But I want you to understand as well. The only one suffering here is me. Your daddy can make other babies, but I don't want to ever marry again.
I don't have a thing for men. I just assume they are not worth spending my life with. But what will happen if anything happens to you and Tim?
How do I survive without you? Maybe if I just die and you know I am no more alive, you will adapt and accept fate.
Ask me anything please, but not to live and marry your dad.."Theresa Mo couldn't continue with her words. She felt her voice choking and she started sobbing and sniffling.
Julia went to her and held her in an embrace. "It's enough Theresa Mo. Everything is going to be fine" Junxie Li just stood with his back to the wall and crossed his arms across his chest.
The doctors soon arrived and Tim was brought into the room. Junxie Li looked more tensed up than Theresa. He kept asking questions from the doctors and they also were making inquiries about the kids.
Only Theresa Mo was able to give answers to their questions. Junxie Li stood by and allowed her to do the answering.
Finally the doctors declared that nothing was wrong with the boys. From their investigation so far they didn't see anything wrong with the boys.
Maybe they should give them some drugs to enhance their sleep. But lastly one of the doctors asked "is there anything they want or someone they want to see?"
Junxie Li didn't answer nor did Theresa
Mo. The doctors seemed to guess what the matter was and told the parents to settle it so that the boys can be fine.
They left and the boys were fully awake. Junxie Li told Julia to tell the servants to return to their quarters and sorry for troubling them this late.
"Theresa Mo, if the health of these kids lies with us, please let's resolve it and.." Junxie Li said, ready to compromise.
"Please I don't want to have anything to do with you Junxie Li. If you hadn't taken them away from me all these wouldn't have happened" Theresa Mo.
"If you are a father and you found your kids that you never knew existed, would you leave those kids and turn your back against them?" Junxie asked.
Julia asked that the two of them follow him outside. "What is wrong with the both of you? Can't you compromise for each other because of the kids?
I can see my nephews' desire, why can't you grant them? Accept each other and start your life already.
I swear if I am Junxie, I would have started kissing you already to impress them that something is really happening. If anything more happened to them, I will not spare any of you, especially you Theresa" Julia was furious.
He went in and found Ms Diddy, reading a bedtime story for them. He joined her and sat down smiling at the little fellows.
"I am ready to do whatever you want for the sake of the kids," Theresa Mo said finally.
"Then you have to accept to start a relationship with me. At least we can say we are in a relationship already. Then maybe we kiss before them at least"Junxie Li suggested.
Theresa Mo agreed. They walked in and saw the boys listening to Ms Diddy's story. When they saw their parents. "Mum, dad, are you both happy now?" they asked.
"Yeah. Your mum and I have decided to start a relationship together. Are you happy now?" He asked, smiling and holding Theresa's hand.
"Yeah. For real? Will you kiss each other now?" Tim asked, laying under the quilt with his head popping out.
"Sure,"Junxie Li said and turned to Theresa Mo. They stared at each other before they brought their lips together.
Junxie Li kissed Theresa Mo sweetly. Her body seemed to demand that the kiss didn't stop. After a few minutes, he pulled away.
Julia smiled. Ms Diddy was Happy too. The boys applauded and the parents smiled. "You need to sleep now. We will be retiring to our rooms" Junxie Li said.
Theresa Mo asked permission
permission to sing them a poem and Junxie Li said Ok. He would be waiting in the bedroom.
Others left and Theresa Mo sar them a poem. She had hardly finished the second stanza and the boys had drifted off to sleep.
She ensured the temperature in the room was appropriate and then kissed their temples before stepping out of the room.
She met Junxie Li in the sitting room waiting for her. She asked where Julia was and the latter said he had gone to his Villa.
She said she would go visit him one of these days in his place. Junxie Li didn't say anything else. He asked if they can go to sleep now?
Theresa said yes but hadn't seen the goods they ordered for.
Junxie Li said he had taken them to the bedroom. He then stood up and led her to his bedroom. She entered and it was a magnificent room.
"You can take the bed and I will be sleeping on the sofa" Junxie Li offered. At least they only knew they were in the same bedroom and that's all the kids should know.
"Your clothes are in the closet. And there's a partition behind the closet where you can choose to dress up there" Junxie Li added.
"Junxie, we can share the bed together. But I can be a bad sleeper sometimes. The bed is enough for the both of us. Besides, it's past midnight already, we are all worn out" Theresa Mo suggested.
She didn't wait for Junxie Li to reply to her when she dashed into the bathroom. She saw Junxie Li's toiletries and wondered at the expensive things he used.
No wonder his skin was so beautiful and soft like a baby's. She heard her name and paused. "Can you hear me? Manage my toiletries for tonight, by tomorrow I'll get yours for you" he called out to her.
She said Ok and went ahead to bathe. Soon she was out in a towel round her body. Junxie Li looked away before going in to take his bath.
When he came out again, Theresa Mo had changed into a pink nightwear with her body shape all outlined in it.
If they were a couple, it would be fine. But being parents alone it was a little inappropriate for Theresa Mo to wear it.
Her firm boops were obvious and her nipples were tempting. He changed into a pyjamas and climbed into bed.
"Theresa Mo, sorry I want to talk to you"Junxie Li demanded. "Ok. I'm all ears" she replied, turning her side to him.
