Chapter 9: An unhappy Marriage
Lu Jingli was unhappy. They've been married for four years and he has not stopped giving her his body just to see her pregnant. But he can no longer continue and needed to rest a while.
"Why have you been ignoring me? We need to be intimate more at this period when we need a child"Tiana Mo coaxed.
This shouldn't be the time Lu Jingli be estranged from her especially now that she needed him the most.
"Are you going to force me if I choose to ignore you? I want to sleep and I don't like being disturbed"Lu Jingli snapped at her.
If she keeps pestering him, he would leave the room and never return that night. What's the use of wasting his manliness on a woman who has nothing to show for it
Tiana said nothing again. She turned her back to him as well and left him alone. She had been trying to track her ovulation so that she and Lu Jingli could make love, who knows, if she might be lucky and conceive naturally.
She had tried the IVF twice and both failed. She can't imagine that Lu Jingli was going to change completely after the failure of the last attempt.
She would have to call his mother's attention to it. She needs to know what rascal her son had turned into. He is not willing to give her a grandchild.
Next morning, Lu Jingli had breakfast and was a little cheerful that morning. He gave Tiana a peck on her chin before leaving for work.
He seemed to be a different Lu Jingli from the one who yelled at her last night. She has never heard that a man runs away from sex with his wife expecially when they want to make babies except Lu Jingli.
She had made up her mind to go to see Cherry Lu and report her son to her. If he doesn't change, she would then take the matter to her own mother.
Her mother has been worried sick about why Tiana can't hasn't been pregnant for the past four years. And when the second IVF failed, she almost became sick about it.
Tiana Mo got dressed up and took her car keys. She drove herself to her mother-in-law's place and was glad she met her at home.
She was welcome and her mother inlaw asked her how she's doing. How's My Jingli doing as well. Nitvliie they don't communicate on the phone but they seldom see each other so frequently.
Tiana said everything was fine except that she's had sleepless nights because of Lu Jingli's behavior recently. He doesn't have sex with her anymore.
Cherry squinted and asked Tianan what happened? She trusts that her son doesn't have interest in having a Mistress. So why is he not willing to get intimate with Tiana?
She looked forward to carrying her grandchild. But how is that going to be possible if he doesn't get intimate with her? What kind of a son was Lu Jingli becoming?
She assured Tianan she would have a word with her son and she should make herself ready for him that night. He would definitely be taking her.
Tiana Mo smiled. As expected of her mother in law. She knows how to touch Lu Jingli in the place where he couldn't resist her instructions. She thanked her and went home. She can't wait for her husband to return home and meet her waiting for him. She hoped this would work this time. As soon as Tiana Mo left, Cherry Lu called her son and asked that they have dinner together that afternoon.
She would be waiting for him at a certain restaurant whose address she would be sending to her.
Theresa Mo got ready and soon Rosa returned from the office. They both head to an agency where Lanre was waiting for them.
When they arrived, he told them he had seen the house and was waiting for Theresa to see it as well.
He initially didn't see the lady that came with Theresa or better still he was concentrating on his friend that he didn't notice she's with.
Theresa Mo saw it and said she likes it. It's a portable complex enough for her and her kids. She paid for it and then signed the papers to the house.
"I'd like you to meet my friend, the one I told you about" Theresa Mo introduced and she did the same for Lanre.
That was when Lanre saw Rosa. He shook hands with her and said his Lanre and Rosa also called her name to him.
Theresa Mo smiled and liked the way they both acknowledged each other. Lanre asked that they go for lunch together and the ladies got into their car.
Lanre and his friends were in that restaurant when Cherry Lu arrived. She didn't see Theresa Mo initially but after hearing a few people's conversation nearby, she turned her head and looked at them.
She was shocked when she saw that the cheerful one among the three was Theresa Mo. Where has she been all these years?
After finding out that she was set up and that she and her son were part of the conspiracy, she hadn't seen her since then.
Cherry Lu became uncomfortable when she saw Theresa Mo. Her guilt was eating her up and she wanted to stand up but Just then her son arrived and took his seat opposite hers.
She tapped her Son and looked in the direction where Theresa Mo was seated with her friends.
Lu Jingli's eyes followed the direction where his mother was asking him to look:
