Married to the President novel Chapter 10

Lu Jingli was shocked and his hands shivered. This is his ex wife Theresa Mo. She looked happy with her friends. She was fishing her meal into her mouth with the chopsticks so that she didn't notice that some people were staring at her.

   The waiter came and took Lu Jingli's order and his mother. But the latter became muddle headed after seeing Theresa Mo.

  He had tried finding her and locating her for many months until he finally gave up. He concluded she had done something to herself or left the country.

  But where was she going to get the money to take a flight out of the country. She was left without a penny and not allowed to take a needle out of the house.

  But seeing her now, she looked gorgeous and beautiful and more mature. She looked elegant and Lu Jingli wondered how she had lived for the past four years.

  He hadn't stopped regretting his actions and vile behavior to her a few years ago. He later realised that he loved her and not Tiana.

  He had grown to love her but when he realised his feelings for her, it was too late. She had gone and he couldn't find her to apologise.

  "Lu Jingli, don't be muddle headed"Cherry Lu called her son's attention to herself. He doesn't seem to take his eyes off her again.

  He turned to look at his mother and the waiter brought their orders. He didn't know when he started looking at Theresa Mo again and his chopsticks ended up picking dishes from the table rather than from his plates.

  Cherry Lu became embarrassed. She pinched his hand and the latter came back to his senses. He took the chopsticks towards his mouth when his mother pulled his hands down.

   He looked and saw that he was taking empty chopsticks to his mouth. He felt embarrassed and decided to concentrate on his lunch. 

   Theresa Mo was almost done with her meal but she was observing the chemistry that is ensuing between Lanre and Rosa.

  Lanre was showing interest in Rosa but the latter was pretending not to notice. She would be happy if things can work out between these two friends of hers.

  Soon the meal was over and Lanre went over to pay. Theresa Mo said she wants to buy a car and Rosa agreed with her.

She needs a car to conveniently move around with her kids.

   When they stood up, Theresa Mo's eyes locked with Lu Jingli and she flippantly turned her eyes away. She doesn't know anyone in her past anymore, especially those who destroy her happiness. 

   "Hi Theresa"Lu Jingli didn't know when he called her. Theresa Mo glared at him and squinted. Her friends also paused and looked at the fellow who knows Theresa.

  "Hi. You are who?" Theresa Mo pretended not to recognise him. Lu Jingli became more embarrassed the more. She even pretends not to know him?

   "Your ex husband Lu Jingli"the latter also sheepishly answered. Lanre and Rosa exchange glances with each other. So this is the animal who conspired against others to ruin his wife and then throw her off like a filth.
