Chapter 101: Two days later
Theresa Mo heard her phone ringing and checked who the caller was. She hissed and wouldn't answer
her phone.
The idiot was calling her. Has he gotten a divorced from Tiana Mo already? His divorce procedures are
usually fast and snappy.
She is sure he is eager to marry her again in place of Tiana. Only stupid girls like Tiana Mo will marry a
man who divorced her sister.
Lu Jingli must have thought she was the same weak woman he had married in the past. He must have
thought she is still naive and can be tossed here and there.
Lu Jingli kept calling for a long time but Theresa Mo didn't answer. He felt a little discouraged and didn't
know how he could meet her.
After the day's work, Theresa Mo for the first time, decides to go to Julia Li's Mansion. She arrived at
the time Rita was arriving from the office.
Rita was more than happy to see Theresa. She felt like she had seen someone to pour her heart to and
hugged her holding her in an embrace for a long time.
"How are you Rita, and the baby?" Theresa Mo asked, refraining from the embrace and touching Rita's
belly. Her belly was still flat.
"I'm fine Theresa, how have you been? How's President Li?" Rita asked. She was happy. She placed
her hand on Theresa's hand which she left still on her belly.
"Good. Junxie Li is fine last that we spoke"Theresa Mo replied as the two women walked in. Rita asked
if he travelled and Theresa Mo said yes.
Theresa Mo congratulated her on her wedding with Julia. She wished that she found happiness and
peace.
Rita smiled. She thanked Theresa but didn't tell her how her few days in marriage had become
unbearable.
Julia's Mansion was identical with Junxie's. Same structure and decor. The servants came over to
attend to their needs but it seemed Junxie's servants were more in number than Julia's.
Theresa Mo exchanged a few pleasantries with Rita and they both drank tea before Theresa Mo
declared that she was leaving.
Rita was surprised when Theresa Mo said Junxie's mansion was next to Julia's. Just a stone throw. A
walk of about four to five minutes.
She said she didn't know she would have been coming over to spend that boring time of hers with
Theresa. That way, she accompanies Theresa Mo back to her car.
The distance was not much, but since she came with her Chauffeur, she had to get back to the
mansion in the car.
Theresa Mo returned home and received several messages from Lu Jingli. She deleted them without
as much as going through them.
Two days later, Junxie Li suddenly remembered, the next weekend, Saturday to be precise, is the
annual picnic and get-together for Li's family.
He didn't remember before leaving. He has to be there as the master of the Li's family. His kids need to
meet other members of their family.
He has to introduce Theresa Mo to his uncle Guang and his family. There are other members of Li's
family but these are the immediate family.
If he had to pause his activities, he would do it. He has to return home. He wasn't going to tell Theresa
Mo that he would return, it's going to be a surprise.
He called Julia for the first time since he left home. He told him to inform every member of the family
that the get together is holding and he would be introducing his kids and their mother.
Second assignment, he should contact his friend Lanre and organize a perfect engagement ceremony.
He was going to get his engagement ring before traveling back. He is getting engaged to Theresa a
day after the get together.
Julia said ok he would ensure everything is in order. But before Junxie Li would hung up, Julia called
him respectfully "Elder brother"
His voice was best described as being a little louder than a whisper. Junxie Li paused, Julia only uses
this kind of voice if he wants to apologise or seek for a favor.
"Humm" Junxie Li grunted. He waited and listened to what Julia wanted to say. "I am sorry for being
rude,"Julia said.
It was quiet for a long time. "I was mad at you, at Theresa,mum, dad and I was by myself alone.."Julia
explained.
"Are you now married?" Junxie Li asked. "Yes, about a week ago,"Julia replied. He was going to reach
his parents that day and tell them about it.
"Congratulations" Junxie Li said and hung up. Julia sighed audibly and closed his eyes momentarily.
Junxie Li has forgotten about it.
He was happy anyways when his brother committed everything into his hands. He looked forward to a
time like this in his life. But now, he doesn't know whether to believe it will still come or not.
Before sleeping, Junxie Li sent a message to remind Julia that he wants the arrangements to be low
key. But strictly warned that Theresa Mo shouldn't have a clue.
Lanre had embarked on his search. He wants to utilize the time at his disposal. He visited the
orphanage and went to see the director of the orphanage. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
He introduced himself and asked if he could find or locate the Matron of the orphanage during such and
such years.
The director said, though he introduced himself and appeared to be a gentleman, they couldn't reveal
the identity of all the retired staff of the orphanage.
If he has questions, he could ask and he would try his best to find answers for him. Lanre said Ok. He
wants to find out the information about a certain boy Many years ago….
They searched and found out the file that contains his adoption history. He was brought to the
orphanage by an anonymous woman at one month old.
No one ever came to look for him except when he was three...
