They all poured themselves drinks and made a toast before they drank. The boys were happy at the news of their parents getting married.
They only know the most important thing about their parents getting married is that their mummy wasn’t going to leave their daddy and them again like they’ve always feared.
The adults sat down and the boys soon ran off, bored to be with the adults who didn’t know how to run around.
” When is the date for the wedding?” Lanre asked and Theresa said three weeks time but they needed to know the auspicious day.
Theresa said they hadn’t informed Junxie’s parents yet and she, besides Aunt Lulu, doesn’t have anyone else to inform.
Lanre was already there and he is the only immediate family she knows. They would do that first before deciding on the particular day to choose.
While the adults talk and chat, Julia forgot his challenge. He looked so vibrant and active. One wouldn’t know what he was facing at the moment.
” Before the wedding, my sons birthday comes up next week, I want to suggest we have it celebrated at the Paradise Hotel..” Junxie Li stated.
Everyone thought about it carefully and Julia said it would be good if they celebrate it at the amusement park and make the public know that there are young masters in Li’s family.
Besides the immediate family and some employees of the family, no one knows about the existence of the Younger generation of the family.
What Julia said made some sense. It’s time he made it public. His sons are the heirs of the family and he would make them appear once to the public.
But there have to be some restrictions about it. They will have to be in masks. Their faces mustn’t be exposed to anyone else besides their family and employees.
Lanre didn’t say anything. He doesn’t know if it would be accepted by Junxie. If it was his sister, he would convince her to do what he would suggest.
Seeing Lanre wasn’t saying anything, Theresa Mo asked ” You are having somewhere else in mind that you intend to suggest to us?” She saw her brother suddenly become lost in thought and knew he had something else to say.
Lanre smiled. ” You read my thoughts, Theresa. It might sound odd though, but how about they celebrate with children at the city orphanage?”
There was silence. No one was thinking about such a place. Nor did it cross anyone’s mind to suggest Such a place.
Theresa knew Lanre remembered his past, the early part of his life and how he grew up in the orphanage,
What his life would have looked like if he wasn’t adopted. He has a family but he was separated from them by women of a mean character.
She would support and approve of where her brother suggested. After all he is also an uncle to the boys like Julia is.
” I think I agree with what Lanre said. Those children in the orphanage desire to be loved. They needed someone to identify with them, make them feel important too.
Some are destitute and don’t know what love is from a family or parents. All they have got is from their mates and going to celebrate with them brings smiles and hope to their faces.
Wouldn’t it be better to celebrate the Li’s boys in such a place where their presence brings a gleam of light to those who think all is lost?
Give them gifts, take pictures with them, listen to the heart touching stories of some of them? I think Lanre’s idea needed to be considered..”Rosa expanciated.
Junxie Li squinted. The orphanage where they can affect the lives of the less privileged. That would be better than going to the amusement park.
If Theresa had given birth to his boys’ and dumped them in the orphanage and gone away, maybe they also might be like every other child there.
Some were victims of circumstances while some ended up there by cruel hearts of some people like the case of Lanre.
He glanced at Theresa and she nodded and then at Julia and he did Same. Junxie shrugged and declared ” They will celebrate at the orphanage!”
Lanre glanced at him with surprise. Did Junxie Li agree to what he suggested? The latter glanced back at him with a quick smile and shrugged.
Molly Mo decided to locate a certain person she hadn’t gotten in contact with for many years now. It was while Anita was alive that he did a job for them.
Someone needs to help her take care of Theresa Mo once and for all. That girl has grown wings and is not only flying but soaring higher than she can be reached.
She wants to tame her, bring her down to the lowest part and curtail her excesses. She can’t wait for Theresa Mo to take over Mo’s business before she acts.
Otherwise, if she was able to eliminate her, her shares and ownership goes to her sons. That isn’t going to happen while she’s still alive.
She found out the address and came face to face with the man who helped to eliminate Ye Xiaoxi!
