Theresa Mo glanced at Junxie, but he was having this ‘i don’t care attitude’. He seemed to be fully immersed on the phone in his hands.
A quiet smile slightly tilted on his lips. The two people who want a daughter and granddaughter who look like either of them. They would be surprised that the girl was going to look like him. That’s if it’s a girl that has just been formed.
” Yes mum. I just confirmed that I am pregnant today and I know it’s going to be a girl” Theresa Mo was confident.
” Oh Theresa dear!” Carol Li cannot hide her surprise and happiness. She held
Theresa’s hands and smiled.
Junxie Li watched them from his split vision. The two women were happy and the younger woman was being treated like a celebrity.
His mother was feeling really pleased that they were getting married that weekend. She said the timing was perfect that her granddaughter is planted in Theresa’s womb at the right time.
She told her not to stress herself nor do anything that would wear her out. The servants were enough to do all that needed to be done.
She said Theresa’s wedding dress was ready. She would be getting dressed and going to the bureau to get married and then get dressed in another dress for the mini reception.
Theresa and Carol Li were happily analysing everything. Theresa said she would be Walked through the isle by her brother.
Carol Li said she didn’t know she had a brother. She had always thought she was an orphan who had no one besides a mean step mother and sister.
Theresa told her all that has happened and Carol Li said humans have gotten a stone for a heart and hence don’t have feelings about what someone would feel before doing things.
All the same, she congratulated her. She said she was lucky that destiny brought them together.
As the two lovers were about to leave, Carol Li said Theresa should be extremely careful and keep her granddaughter safe from harm.
“How’s Julia?” Carol Li asked, glancing at her eldest son. Besides making calls, she hadn’t seen Julia for a while now.
She missed her son so much. He’s so full of humour. It was after Theresa came into Junxie’s life that he learned to smile and interact with people easily.
“He was fine when I saw him. You missed your son right?” Junxie Li asked, walking out and glancing at his father’s study.
Carol Li smiled and nodded. She saw him looking at his father’s study and said ” your father has gone out. He probably will stop by at your uncle’s place” she replied to a question he was yet to ask.
Junxie Li nodded and said she should extend his regards to his father. Carol Li nodded and said ” thank you Junxie” she appreciated,
The latter shrugged and asked her what she was thanking him for. “For my unborn granddaughter” she knew it was never going to be possible without her son’s hard work.
That evening, Junxie Li and Theresa agreed that Lanre would walk her to her wedding. The boys were going to wear a special suit identical to Junxie’s.
His suit was specially designed by the best designing company in the country. Alongside his own, that of his two sons would be also made.
And it was delivered to his Mansion that evening. Everything was set, two days left, and Theresa was going to be his wife.
Lanre went to check on his Aunt and asked that she should be taken care of properly till the next day. He was going home for the night though one of his servants would stay behind.
He drove to Rosa’s house. It’s been a while since he last saw her mother and went to see her. She was very happy when she saw Lanre.
She said she is fine and has recovered greatly. She is almost back to her normal self before she had the blood sugar.
Lanre told her she shouldn’t hesitate to inform him if she’s feeling somewhat uncomfortable. She said she will.
Hong was also at home. He was very happy to see Lanre and was all smiles as he conversed with him.
Lanre told Rosa’s mother that he and Rosa would be getting married in two months. Once his sister’s wedding is over, he would concentrate on his and hopefully his aunt would be fine at the time.
Rosa’s mother was happy. She said he hopes his aunt gets better soon. She also wished her a quick recovery.
As Lanre stood up to go, Rosa said she was going home with him. “Looks like I will abduct your sister away again,” Lanre said, referring to Hong.
“Oh, please abduct her more often and don’t remember to send her back. She disturbs me a lot” Hong replied. Everyone started laughing.
The two lovers set out together and Lanre stopped by Julia’s face. He saw him with his face a little battered.
Though he has been treated and has applied the ointment he was given, the place was still showing that something with pressure happened to that part of the skin.
“What happened to you?” Lanre asked and Julia told them what happened between him and Rita’s boyfriend and how she helped her boyfriend to fight him back.
Lanre was unhappy. He really doesn’t expect such an outcome from her. She can’t possibly gang up with her boyfriend to hit her ex husband.
Julia was having a difficulty in returning to who he used to be, while she was already getting entangled with another guy. That’s what he never expected of her.
After attending to Julia, he drove home and was quiet for a while. “How can Rita get entangled with another guy so soon?” Lanre asked as if Rosa knows the answer.
“Maybe when you see her, you can get the answers that you seek,”Rosa replied. She doesn’t know how to answer Lanre’s question.
Days passed and it was Theresa and Junxie’s wedding..
