Married to the President novel Chapter 165

"What about Julia, are you going to leave him alone to grieve?" Monica asked. They both have lost the baby and he definitely must be grieving as well.

Rita kept sobbing and shook her head. She doesn't want to stay with Julia. Alfred saw through and knew that she was no longer interested in covering up for her damn husband.

" If she wants to go home with us, mum, let her be" Alfred supported his sister. She should come with them. He would not agree for her to get back to Julia, not after what he just discovered.

"A woman can't just leave her husband like that. If Julia agrees, she can come with us" Monica corrected.

Alfred became angry " Julia was there and she had depression. Mum, did you even know that's what lead to the miscarriage?" He explained.

Monica turned and looked at Julia and then her daughter. Rita, depression, what happened?

"How can you fall into depression baby? Aren't you happily married to Julia? Didn't you say he cares about you and loves you?

You have a handsome husband who loves and gives you all you want. You have a job and you are comfortable. What might have led you into depression…?"Monica looked lost.

Junxie felt his head go blank. Rita was painting her husband as an angel and he was far from being called a loving husband. He wished things didn't take this dimension.

Julia's eyes went red. She said those great words about him? She really didn't hate him for treating her so badly and saying horrible words at her.

If he had known that she said those words about him, he would have cared about her instead. He wouldn't have been so mean to her.

"Mum, Rita has been covering up for her damn husband. He is nothing like she describes him to be.

Why wouldn't she fall into depression when her husband is a womaniser. He is married to Rita and she's pregnant with his child but he goes about chasing women all over the city.

He doesn't sleep at home. Rita is always lonely and you wonder why she went into depression? Even last night, this fellow spent the night with a woman in the hotel…"Alfred exposed.

Monica was perplexed. What is Alfred saying to discredit his brother-in-law? Do they both have grudges against each other or he doesn't like the man his sister got married to?

Rita sobbing became louder. She felt everything had no meaning anymore. She had covered up for Julia and she has ended up like this.

Everything she had been trying to conceal, Alfred has known and he has exposed it before everyone present. The only person that is not there is Cheng Li, Julia's father. The game was up.

"Alfred be quiet. Don't say such horrible words at your brother-in-law. You are making Rita sob more,"Monica cautioned.

She glared at her Son angrily. What she expects of him right now is to console and stand by his sister and not to give her more reason to sob.

"You don't believe me mum? Julia is here and Rita should for once say the truth about who her husband's personality is.." Alfred was serious.

Monica kept glaring at him but he saw how serious and genuine Alfred looked. She doesn't know if she should keep scolding him or ask Rita to say something to approve or disapprove what her brother said.

"He's right mum. My marriage is fake!" Rita blurted out. She cleaned her tears and held her mother's hand " I'm sorry mum, I've been lying to you.." she confessed.

Monica was lost.

She stared at her daughter's pathetic state and her tears gave way. Rita has been enduring her marriage and relationship with Julia all these months?
