Married to the President novel Chapter 98

Theresa Mo was only surprised for a few seconds before she turned her back to the fellow again. Lanre immediately sensed that something was not right.

Julia Li was not expecting to cross paths with Theresa Mo. He was momentarily rendered speechless when he saw her.

Lanre's smile gradually disappeared. He looked at Theresa Mo who seemed not to be ready to say anything to Julia.

"You are here Theresa?" Julia said, forcing a smile to cover the awkward situation he found himself. He doesn't know if what he said made any sense at all.

He saw her sitting and still asked if she was there? Of course she is, how else can he explain the fact that she is seated there?

"Mm..mm" Theresa grunted without looking back at him. She completely ignored him and concentrated on her juice.

Lanre and Julia just exchange a few pleasantries before the latter goes away. As soon as he left, Lanre asked Theresa if anything was the Matter between her and Julia?

Theresa Mo said there's nothing besides his conscience that condemns his act of lying. "I had asked that we go out for lunch and he said he was not going out that day"

Lanre smiled. Theresa Mo didn't understand. Julia was going to be with a girlfriend and she intended to ruin it. He doesn't know why Julia felt uncomfortable seeing Theresa.

He should know that Theresa Mo is smarter than he presume. He smiled at Theresa and they soon forgot about Julia.

"I will be on leave starting from tomorrow, and it will last for two weeks. I hope to be around for the next one week and after that I will go see my parents.."Lanre explained.

Theresa Mo smiled at the mention of going to see his parents. They were her life supporters in that critical time of her life when she was expecting her babies.

"That's thoughtful of you to go and see Uncle and Aunt. Please let me know when you are ready to leave. I would send you a message to them" Theresa Mo requested.

Lanre said that's Ok. He would inform her when he is getting ready to go. But he didn't tell Theresa Mo what he would be doing for the first week.

"You deserve to be off duty at least for once Lanre. You are a workaholic and I sometimes wonder how you were able to keep the balance with work and your relationship with Rosa.

Besides, that reminds me, I don't want you both to cross again. You should be thinking about getting married soon" Theresa Mo cautioned.

Lanre smiled. Looks like Theresa Mo didn't realize yet that he and Rosa have stopped seeing each other. Rosa hadn't told her and he prefers that she doesn't know yet.

" I was planning on proposing to Rosa before she fucked up that day. I have left her to herself" Lanre declared.

" Don't be upset. She explained everything to me and why she said no to your demands. She has a reason for that" Theresa Mo defended her friend.

"I have never felt such a happy period in my life since my father died like I am now experiencing.

The best thing that has ever happened to me is Junxie Li. He has brought sweetness to me and I felt my life would have been incomplete without him.."Theresa Mo replied as her belly sweetened her.

Lanre listened to her and his mind drifted off to Rosa. Will she ever say such words about him when he's not there and someone asks her how she feels about being his girlfriend?

She had said horrible words to his face. How much more will she say the worst things when he is not there.

He must say, he has a healthy jealousy of Junxie. Theresa Mo is a great woman and Junxie Li is a loving darling. How sweet and romantic their relationship would be.

"I am happy that you found love. Sometimes, when we lose hope and think we can't fall in love again, then love appears and stares at us in the face.

But you recognize love and you open your heart to it. You will forever be grateful that you took the decision to give Junxie Li a chance.

He looks Arrogant and unfriendly when you see him from afar, but in reality, he has a heart of gold.

I wish you both a happy life with your children. You are lucky Theresa Mo and I wish your luck to keep shining every day of your life" Lanre chimed.
