Theresa Mo didn’t answer. He came closer and hugged her waist, bending a little and placing his head at the nook of her neck.
He kissed her collarbone and Theresa shoved his head away. ” Junxie Li, please maintain your distance” she declared.
Junxie removed his suit. He chuckled softly. She is trying to repay him like he treated her.
It wasn’t time to sleep yet and Theresa Mo went out, leaving Junxie behind. She went and sat at the balcony, looking at the cars going to their various destinations.
She hadn’t called Rita for days now, she would check on her, thank goodness there won’t be work the next day.
Perhaps that’s the reason why Junxie came home that evening. She misses him a lot but doesn’t want to throw herself at him.
She had to feign annoyance with him for ignoring her a few days ago and for not talking to her since then. She expects him to miss her as much as she misses him.
Junxie bath and changed into casual wear. He went downstairs, searching for Theresa. He didn’t see her and checked through the empty rooms and they are empty.
Where could Theresa be? He became worried, he called her cell phone number and it was ringing inside the bedroom. How can she not carry her phone along with her wherever she is?
He suddenly remembered the balcony. He went in the direction of the balcony and saw her seated, looking at the busy street and seemed relaxed watching it.
He came closer to her and pulled her up, sitting down and making her sit in his lab. ” You are angry with me?” He asked, but Theresa was struggling to get free.
Despite her struggle with him, he doesn’t seem moved. He just locked his hands together at her waist and let her struggle on.
” Don’t struggle with me baby. You know I should be angry with you right? How can you let me down before my parents and brother by preferring my mum to me?
It was I who made you related to her. At a time when I am upset, were you right to have added to the numbers of those who made me angry?” Junxie demanded,
Since she joined herself to his family, he treated her like he did to them. It was just that evening, that he called his mother and got things straight with her.
Theresa stopped struggling. She likes it as he holds her, inhaling his smell. ” Is that why you wouldn’t share the bed with me again?
You refused my demands and wouldn’t come home because you were trying to avoid me? No calls, no text messages and I had no one to cuddle me at night.
If that’s what you want, fine, I am ready to dance along the tone. But just let me be. I am not going to share the same bedroom with you again until further notice..” Theresa declared, turning her back to him and smiling silently.
It’s nice to have a fiance that spoils. She turned things around and blamed him rather than saying sorry.
” It wasn’t deliberate that I didn’t come home for the night. I had to be around during the installation of the equipment. So I stayed behind at the company.
I slept in the room that night but woke up early. I didn’t just leave you alone, don’t just conclude that way. I am sorry for not granting your request that night.
I wanted to call you but I was choked with activities and work. But since I will be coming over for the night, I prefer to explain to you instead..” Junxie Li explained.
He gave her waist a soft massage. Theresa shook and didn’t say anything again. ” Apologise to me for being wrong at the residence?” Junxie Li demanded.
Theresa shrugged. She didn’t say anything and Junxie Li pinched her pelvic. She felt pain but still refused to apologise.
Junxie Li tickled her waist and moved to the sides of her belly. Theresa Mo’s nerves became uneasy and she started laughing.
” Stop it, Junxie!!” She requested between laughter. She was shaking and feeling uncomfortable.
“Just say it ” Junxie Li replied, intensifying the tickling. Theresa’s eyes were almost bringing out tears and she said ” I am sorry” she reluctantly said it.
Junxie Li stopped. He chuckled, “unless someone teaches you a lesson, you will be claiming a false strong headedness” he mocked.
“So now, back to business, what did you want us to talk about?” Junxie Li requested. Now, he was ready to listen.
Turning to face him, she touched his nostril and then his eyebrow, caressing them and playing with them like she’s a baby.
“I want you to let go. Talk to your parents and take Julia back. He did what was wrong, I agree but he is still your brother and draw him back to yourself.
When you scold a child, you call that child to yourself again. You won’t let that child become a wanderer because he made a mistake..” Theresa Mo was coaxing.
She then touched his lips and Junxie just stayed calm and listened to her. His mother must have told her and she wanted to intervene on their behalf.
“Everything is fine now. Dad was with me in the company and I have spoken to mum as well. But Julia, he let my niece die and I will not let it go easily..” Junxie replied.
“No matter what, you can only be an uncle to the baby if it was born. But Julia is the child’s father. He is unhappy, he is facing a battle you know nothing about.
Don’t add to his predicament and increase his burden. Forgive him. It’s the baby that you are not able to see that is making you so unhappy.
Please for my sake and your kids, let it go. I am begging you darling. He defies you and that is obviously an offense. But for the sake of what has happened to him, pardon him..” Theresa Mo was pleading.
Junxie Li said nothing else. He was calm. Theresa was standing in for his brother. She’s his friend though.
Seeing Junxie was quiet, Theresa thought about how she’s going to discuss her next topic with him.
His quietness is a sign that he had listened to her plea. She was going to say something when Junxie Li drew her closer to kiss her.
” Darling” Theresa called, turning her head away to avoid his lips crashing on hers. “Mm.. mm” Junxie grunted and paused.
” I have a request,” Theresa Mo said, looking into his eyes. Such beautiful eyes he’s got.
” Ok, what is it?” He asked looking back at her. She wants to make a request and he hopes it doesn’t have to do with Julia.
” Let’s have a daughter”
