Married to the President novel Chapter 77

"Go with him tomorrow. He has something to say to you. Hear him out first"Junxie Li persuaded. It is not wrong to listen when someone wants to talk to you.

It is only not advisable that you take everything you hear to heart and act on it. Maybe he wants to apologise to her and ask her to take him back.

Since she isn't going to agree to be the surrogate Mother for him and his wife, maybe he wants to persuade her to be or get pregnant for him instead.

Junxie Li persuaded Theresa to go for the dinner but must have someone trailing her. He can't take chances with someone so mean as drugging her when she was still his wife.

Theresa agreed and said she would give him feedback on how things were unfolding. Junxie Li said that's better.

They stopped at a supermarket and got candies and ice cream for the kids before they continued their home going. Kids like sweet things and that gets them excited when their parents are returning home.

Lanre and Rosa arrived home. They got in and Lanre said Rosa should go take a bath. They weren't going to have dinner since they already did and were full.

Rosa got into his bedroom and went to have a bath. Lanre went to make tea, and brought it in.

Rosa had stepped out and was having a towel around her chest. She blushed seeing Lanre was staring at her head to toe.

He placed the tea at the bedside table and went to have a bath. When he returned, Rosa had drunk a glass and left one for him.

Lanre came out of the bathroom in a towel and took his tea. He climbed into the bed and the fun began. It's been a while since he did it last.

But Rosa was being stiff. She was feeling unready for him and Lanre stopped. "You don't want me to touch you?" He asked.

Rosa said yes. He didn't say anything further but just laid beside her . He was ready to do it but Rosa had bluntly refused him. His body was hot and his desire surged Within him.

But since she said no, he can't force her. It will be tantamount to raping her. He stood up and went downstairs, he just needed to calm his tensed body.

Rosa started sobbing quietly. How does she tell him the hard truth? She had been with Lanre for a few months now and hadn't told him about her previous relationship.

He didn't ask her either and didn't tell her about his as well. But now that they have gotten to this point, she had to tell him.

She would explain things to him and hear what he thinks and feels. She waited for Lanre to return to the room but he didn't before she drifted off to sleep.

Theresa arrived home and went to see her boys.

They were doing just fine. They hugged her and she presented the candies and ice cream to them.

Junxie Li sat and watched how they took it and asked him if they should take it. He nodded. That's part of etiquette. When someone gives you a present, ask your parents before taking it.

He imagined the boys growing up without knowing him. How devastating would he have felt when they become grown up and see the reflection of himself on their faces.

Junxie Li told them he would take them all out for a picnic and adventure very soon. Hopefully when he returns from his journey.

The boys were happy and went to hug him. He held them both and kissed their temple. They were still less than four years old and were already acting mature . He loves them.

They soon returned to their quarters, leaving their parents alone. "Did you birth them yourself or was it a caesarean section?"Junxie Li asked.

"I have complications, so I have to go for a caesarean section,"Theresa Mo replied, stroking the lower part of her belly.

Junxie Li stared at her intently. "Sorry for going through that stage all by yourself. I wished I was there to share in your pains and Joy" Junxie Li consoled.

He hadn't touched her beyond her lips. Maybe when he decides to see her body he will see the scar. A scar that reminds her of the birth of their babies.
