Married to the President

Chapter 45: You came because Tim is ill

Junxie Li locked eyes with her and saw innocence and sincerity in her eyes. He sighed softly and said "

Come with me"

He led the way upstairs and came to another corridor which housed some beautifully decorated doors.

Junxie Li pointed to the room where Tim is and told her to check him in the room. Theresa Mo didn't

even let him finish before dashing into the room.

She saw the little fellow lying on the bed. He had a damp napkin on his forehead and he looked weak

and fragile.

"Tim Mo"she called out and immediately looked back. Thank goodness Junxie Li was not following her.

She heard him call them by Li's family name.

Tim opened his eyes slowly. Was he hallucinating? Did he just hear his mother's voice? He wished it's

true but then he saw her Walk to him and held him tight.

"Tim!", "Mummy!" The pair of mother and son held each other close. Her eyes already welled up when

she saw Tim lying weakly a while ago.

But holding him now, she let her tears flow freely. She laid beside him and hugged him happily. She

kissed his chin and let her lips remain there when Junxie Li suddenly opened the door and came in.

He saw the sight of the pair hugging each other and Theresa Mo kissed her son's chin. He pretended

not to see but Theresa Mo already withdrew.

She sat by the edge of the bed and held Tim's hand. "How are you doing baby? How are you feeling

now? Are you still experiencing a fever?

Where's your brother Lee? Is he alright too?" Theresa Mo asked and Tim doesn't know which one of

the questions he should answer first.

"Lee Li is in his room. Tim, you have seen your mother and I want you to sleep now"Junxie Li declared.

Tim became obedient without frowning and said nothing else. Theresa Mo wondered why he didn't

refuse his father and let her stay a little longer with him.

"No, Junxie Li, I want to be with him more," Theresa protested. She wants to spend more time with her

son. After all, he is not feeling too well.

"I want to talk to you,"Junxie Li declared. He turned and walked out. Theresa Mo followed but found

Junxie Li walking down the stairs already.

She followed him and came to the sitting room. "This will be the last time you argue with me before any

or both of the kids!" Junxie Li blurted out.

"You have too many do's and don'ts"Theresa stated. She can't shake hands with a man for too long.

She can't spend enough time with her kids, she can't be with another man, blablabla.

"Yes. That's what you should expect from a Li's family

member and that goes the same for my kids Ok?" Junxie Li replied.

She didn't reply again. She hasn't seen Lee yet. She can't leave without seeing him. "Ok, I am sorry".

"Lee is asleep. You will have to wait until tomorrow morning at breakfast to see him" Junxie Li said

next. He took a seat on the sofa and Theresa Mo did the same.

"You are staying here until Tim gets well. You are free to check out on him at intervals but you can't

stay beyond five minutes"Junxie Li declared.

"May I ask you a question?" Theresa Mo said, trying to behave well before him. Junxie Li gave a nod

and Theresa asked why there are rules in the house?

" That's because every generation of the Li's family members go through the same rules. Tim and Lee

are the next generation of the family and so they are not excepted.

For now, they are not going to school. They have their special trained tutors who come to train them at

home. Like me, until I became the President, many didn't know what I look like nor Julia.

The same thing goes for them. Their names have been entered into the Chronicles of the Li's family

and at this point, even you can't go against the rules.

Soon they will have their house built for them and I or we if you choose will see that they grow up

delicately and wise. Do you have any other questions?" Junxie explained before asking.

Theresa Mo nodded. She doesn't know what else to ask. Her sons have been integrated into their

family and she's just getting to know them.

"You sleep in the guest room for now until Tim is fine. But I don't know how long that would be?" Junxie

Li declared.

"I don't have any clothes here. Not even a night wear that I can change into"Theresa Mo replied

politely.

"That's not an issue. We order clothes and you'll get them soon" Junxie Li said. He brought out his

phone and beckoned to Theresa Mo to come closer.

She did and he asked her to sit down on the sofa handle and make her choice of clothes. Theresa Mo

did and a nightwear was added too.

But Junxie Li was surprised when Lee came out of his bedroom, robbing his eyes. " Lee Li,why are you

awake this time"?" He asked.

Theresa Mo saw him and rushed over, lifting him off his feet. The little fellow looked chubbier and his

skin glitters more. He looked like a child from a rich family indeed.

"You look chubbier baby and your skin is like your dad's"Theresa Mo asked, turned and glared at

Junxie Li. His skin was always white like a baby's.

He saw

saw her stare at him and back at Lee. The latter hugged his mummy's neck and kissed her temple. "I

thought you won't come to us again," Tim said.

"Oh no. How can you think so unhealthy of your mother? I never spent a day without thinking about you

and your brother. I love you both always" Theresa Mo replied.

"Tim is having a fever"Lee said and Theresa Mo said their Daddy called her and informed her. That's

why she's here.

"You came because Tim was ill. You didn't really come to check on us then. Put me down!"Lee said,

frowning.

Theresa Mo placed him down on his feet. She squatted before him and held his hands. "You have no

idea how much tantrums I made, but yet I wasn't allowed to be with you.

Please Lee, don't say or think that about your mother again. I am here now, I will stay a while with you

and your brother"Theresa Mo said and the little fellow smiled, placing his head on her shoulders.

"Lee, why are you out at this time?" Junxie Li asked again. "I want to see Tim," Lee answered and

walked towards the upstairs.

"Two minutes and you are out" Junxie Li instructed without looking in his direction. Lee answered and

said Ok.

Theresa Mo lifted herself up and returned to the sofa. "You have made my kids have a false impression

about me"Theresa Mo complained,

"It wasn't my doing, you were the one at war with me over the kids. They are yours as much as they

are Mine. But you made it appear as if you own the egg and the sperm that created them.

And they are 90% more of my appearance than you. What happened back then was making you mad

at me and even said you hate me.

Do you hate a man whose kids were born by you? If you hate me, I will never believe you if you say

you love my kids,"Junxie said casually.

"Mum, dad, Tim wants to see you" Lee announced standing at the top of the stairs. This was the first

time he saw his parents sitting together calmly.

Both parents stood up and Theresa was leading the way and Junxie Li followed. They came into the

room and saw Tim sitting on the bed.

"Tim Li,you sent for us?"Theresa Mo said as soon as she came in. She sat at one edge and Junxie Li

on the other.

"Mummy please don't leave us again. Stay with my daddy and look after us three. We love you and our

daddy loves you too.

Dad, don't you love my mummy?" Tim asked and Junxie Li looked at Theresa Mo. Their eyes locked

and the latter's eyes welled up with tears.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
