Junxie Li was dazed. He remained speechless. Children conceived by mischief and deception?
He slowly stood up. Luciana had insulted Theresa and probably said things like she forced herself to his bed to see herself pregnant with his child.
Did she drag him into it by saying he said so? Was that why Theresa was angry with him and wanted to take the boys away?
She said they were her business. Of course they both were the reason the conception occured. She must have been humiliated that she couldn’t say anything and Rita doesn’t want to say it either.
While Junxie Li stood with his eyes closed analysing what might have really transpired, the whole family turned in Luciana’s direction.
She shivered and her heart started beating hard. Guang is definitely going to be upset with her and this time, she doesn’t know what he was capable of doing.
But she has to be courageous. She’s not a coward and will not deny what the boy said. She would accept it if she was asked.
She shrugged and looked away. ” Luciana, did you say such horrible words at these little boys?” Li Guang asked.
“Isn’t it true? I have said nothing but the truth” Luciana declared and shrugged. Theresa’s sobbing suddenly kickstarted afresh and she couldn’t control it.
Ah, everyone was shocked. This has gotten to the climax of the whole nonsense she had been sprouting since she arrived a few hours ago.
Carol Li hugged Theresa. That was too much for a woman to take. Her eyes became moist. No mother would ever accept her children being referred to that way.
Now she understood Theresa’s pain. She had been insulted. Since she was the one who got pregnant and Carried the kids in her belly, she would be hurt down to her soul.
Today, Luciana had hurt her more than ever before. She had tried her best to tactically go along with her all these years. But today, she hurt her, hurt Theresa and the little great grandsons of the family.
“Paula, take the kids to play or let them be with their friends among the servants and come back” Junxie Li declared.
He watched as the kids wouldn’t want to go. He came to them again and squatted, hugging them warmly. Such innocent kids should be hurt so much. He feels their pain and Theresa’s now.
“Go with your aunt and play with your friends. I promise I won’t let anything of such ever happen to you kids and your mummy. Perhaps it was my fault” Junxie Li coaxed, caressing their hair and holding them tight.
Theresa was right to want to take the kids away from him. Their own family said such words to them? He never would have believed it.
Then he handed them over to Paula and they obediently followed her. Julia looked at his brother and saw his eyes red. He is very angry.
Just last night, they both gave themselves to each other in love making and today, such a thing is happening. It would be as if Junxie cheated her.
Junxie waited until Paula returned. But Li Guang yelled at his wife “Luciana, what have you done? You say such words to hurt these happy family?
In what way has Junxie offended you or Theresa Mo crossed your path that you said such words at their kids? If you have a problem with the parents, why don’t you target them and leave the kids out.
Today Luciana, you have done something I will never forgive you. It may take long but I will retaliate for this humiliation you have brought me among my family members..” Li Guang was expressing his dissatisfaction.
“Rita, is that all she said? If not, tell everyone here. I want to hear it before knowing what to say. Spill it out, ” Junxie Li asked.
He motioned for everyone to sit down but himself, he kept standing. He gestured for her to speak and Rita looked at Theresa and she gave a nod.
” She said a lot of horrible words like Theresa is a vicious woman who used her body and face to plant herself in the family.
That she trapped President Li and got pregnant with his children. She can never be loved because President Li was just being responsible for her and allowed her to stay by his side.
She made him break up his engagement with Yolanda Zu and doesn’t want him to be happy with the woman that he loves and fit his class and Calibre.
She advised Theresa to leave President Li and let him be happy. She compared her to a stripper…” Rita was going to continue when Junxie Li ordered her to stop.
” It’s Ok Rita!” Junxie Li thundered. He doesn’t want to hear more. He stared at Luciana and his eyes were red.
” I had always Respected everyone in this family. I brought Theresa here for the first time. She’s with me and I expect that she should be given her place being my woman.
But what you said today against Theresa and my kids, I will never forgive you. I won’t let it go. From today I refrain from calling you my aunt, I don’t see you as my elder.
An elder should be somehow who knows how to bring the younger ones to himself or herself, not a worthless one like you.
Must you say suicidal words, capable of making one take his own life? You know your words hurt more than the sting of a scorpion, why don’t you talk to me directly?
Why the people with me? Do you know when and where Theresa and I met? When were those boys conceived and how?
I can’t remember saying anything to you about Theresa and I. Have I gone crazy to say or discuss things as sensitive as my love life with a stupid fellow like you..?” Junxie Li bellowed.
“That’s enough! You can’t say such words to me. I am your elder and your uncle’s wife Junxie. You would belittle me before a mere girlfriend?..” Luciana snapped at him but Junxie yelled, Cutting her short.
“Theresa is more than a mere girlfriend to me. She’s the woman I love and I won’t let you disrespect my woman. You trampled on her pride and the innocence of my children and you don’t feel remorseful about what you did?” His eyes are spitting fire.
He was very angry. He was giving out a compressed aura that his parents and uncle couldn’t find words to describe his present look. Julia glanced at him and turned his eyes away quickly.
As if she was not the one Junxie was talking to, Luciana continued “What I said is nothing but the truth. Didn’t you tell your parents you were taking responsibility for Theresa because she’s the mother of your kids?
Wasn’t it an accidental affair you had with her? What the heck is wrong if I say the fact? When did you stop being a man of integrity?” Luciana snapped at Junxie.
Junxie Li turned and looked at his parents. His mother first and then his father. He seemed to ask them questions like ‘ you told her that?’
Did Luciana hear the nonsense she is sprouting from his parents? He remembered when the issue of his parents kicking against his break up with Yolanda Zu, he used Theresa Mo as a shield.
He had said he can’t marry someone else when he had a woman who gave birth to his sons.
He felt guilty for saying those lines of words. He subconsciously glanced at Theresa and saw her glaring at him…
