Married to the President novel Chapter 45

Junxie Li locked eyes with her and saw innocence and sincerity in her eyes. He sighed softly and said " Come with me"

 

He led the way upstairs and came to another corridor which housed some beautifully decorated doors.

 

Junxie Li pointed to the room where Tim is and told her to check him in the room. Theresa Mo didn't even let him finish before dashing into the room.

 

She saw the little fellow lying on the bed. He had a damp napkin on his forehead and he looked weak and fragile.

 

"Tim Mo"she called out and immediately looked back. Thank goodness Junxie Li was not following her. She heard him call them by Li's family name.

 

Tim opened his eyes slowly. Was he hallucinating? Did he just hear his mother's voice? He wished it's true but then he saw her Walk to him and held him tight.

 

"Tim!", "Mummy!" The pair of mother and son held each other close. Her eyes already welled up when she saw Tim lying weakly a while ago.

 

But holding him now, she let her tears flow freely. She laid beside him and hugged him happily. She kissed his chin and let her lips remain there when Junxie Li suddenly opened the door and came in.

 

He saw the sight of the pair hugging each other and Theresa Mo kissed her son's chin. He pretended not to see but Theresa Mo already withdrew.

 

She sat by the edge of the bed and held Tim's hand. "How are you doing baby? How are you feeling now? Are you still experiencing a fever?

 

Where's your brother Lee? Is he alright too?" Theresa Mo asked and Tim doesn't know which one of the questions he should answer first.

 

"Lee Li is in his room. Tim, you have seen your mother and I want you to sleep now"Junxie Li declared.

 

Tim became obedient without frowning and said nothing else. Theresa Mo wondered why he didn't refuse his father and let her stay a little longer with him.

 

"No, Junxie Li, I want to be with him more," Theresa protested. She wants to spend more time with her son. After all, he is not feeling too well.

 

"I want to talk to you,"Junxie Li declared. He turned and walked out. Theresa Mo followed but found Junxie Li walking down the stairs already.

 

She followed him and came to the sitting room. "This will be the last time you argue with me before any or both of the kids!" Junxie Li blurted out.

 

"You have too many do's and don'ts"Theresa stated. She can't shake hands with a man for too long. She can't spend enough time with her kids, she can't be with another man, blablabla.

 

"Yes. That's what you should expect from a Li's family

member and that goes the same for my kids Ok?" Junxie Li replied.

 

She didn't reply again. She hasn't seen Lee yet. She can't leave without seeing him. "Ok, I am sorry".

 

"Lee is asleep. You will have to wait until tomorrow morning at breakfast to see him" Junxie Li said next. He took a seat on the sofa and Theresa Mo did the same.

 

"You are staying here until Tim gets well. You are free to check out on him at intervals but you can't stay beyond five minutes"Junxie Li declared.

 

"May I ask you a question?" Theresa Mo said, trying to behave well before him. Junxie Li gave a nod and Theresa asked why there are rules in the house?

 

" That's because every generation of the Li's family members go through the same rules. Tim and Lee are the next generation of the family and so they are not excepted.

 

For now, they are not going to school. They have their special trained tutors who come to train them at home. Like me, until I became the President, many didn't know what I look like nor Julia.

 

The same thing goes for them. Their names have been entered into the Chronicles of the Li's family and at this point, even you can't go against the rules.
