Married to the President

Chapter 65: Forgiveness

Cheng Li exchanged glances with his wife and the latter sighed. How was he supposed to persuade

Junxie Li to let go? Maybe he was wrong after all not to have consulted him before taking the decision

he took.

Julia walked in and took the few items in Theresa's hands away and saw that everyone's face looked

gloomy, especially Junxie's who looked furious.

He had known Junxie all his life. He knew anytime he had this face and coldness, he was angry. He

may go like that for hours without uttering a word to anyone.

He looked at everyone again and then turned to Theresa Mo. He squinted at her with a questioning

look. The latter shrugged and looked away.

"Why's everyone quiet? Is anything the matter?" Julia asked. He looked towards his parents and then

his brother. But none answered him.

Junxie Li just stood up and pulled Theresa Mo as he walked towards the exit. He didn't even wait for

his parents who had come to take him to leave ahead of him.

Theresa Mo tucked at him to wait. He can't just walk out on his parents like that. He frowned and

turned to look at her.

"What? Are you not leaving with me again?" Junxie Li asked with a husky voice. He was angry with

Theresa too.

The latter didn't say anything but just stood quietly. He held her wrist more firmly now and walked out of

the door. His look was a little rough.

His beard was grown and hasn't had a shave in days. His hair was a little too grown to be combed into

its usual style.

He walked carefully but elegantly that one wouldn't know he has a wound that is yet to completely heal.

He didn't say anything until he got to the car park and a bodyguard quickly held the passenger door for

him to get in.

He beckoned to Theresa to go in first before he slid in after her. He was looking gloomy that the

Chauffeur and bodyguards that greeted him didn't receive a response.

Theresa Mo turned and gave him a side glance and saw his face was still frowned, giving a cold vibe.

She coughed slightly as if clearing her throat.

She is almost scared of his looks but somehow, she wasn't afraid of him. She moved closer,

deliberately avoiding to brush his healing wounds.

Seeing Theresa Mo drew closer to him, he opened his arms and she took it as his willingness to accept

her closeness.

She snuggled into him but his eyes were looking straight ahead. He seemed to be thinking of what to

do next.

The chauffeur started the ignition and they drove off. She caressed his overgrown beards. "I know you

are unhappy with what dad and mum did, I am uncomfortable with their decision as well.

But what can you do? You have to let it be. You have to Respect your parents before the Zu's. If you

have the mother and son pair arrested again, it would look as if your parents couldn't talk you into

letting the past go"Theresa coaxed.

Junxie Li didn't spare her a glance. He just remained quiet and she had no option than to be quiet for

the rest of the journey home.

The Chauffeur was glancing occasionally from the rear view mirror and saw how the boss held this

woman. He knew she was the mother to the boss' children but didn't know they had become so

intimate with each other.

This is the first time he was holding a woman so close before him. He is not fond of riding in the same

car with a woman and in rare cases of being in a car with a female business partner, he stays at an

extreme end and remains quiet throughout the entire journey.

When he drove into the Mansion, He let Theresa Mo go and alighted from the car. He walked over to

the Mansion without even sparing Theresa a glance.

Theresa Mo caught up with him as he climbed the stairs. Theresa Mo followed him into the bedroom

and shut the door.

"Junxie, please don't get upset with me. I wasn't trying to make you do otherwise from what you had in

mind. I was simply.."Theresa Mo was coaxing him. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I want you to see things from my own point of view,"Junxie replied, simply pulling off his shirt.

Theresa Mo went to help him with his buttons when they heard a knock on the door. Theresa Mo

waited for Junxie Li to reply but he didn't.

The door opened and Julia came in. He was stunned when he saw Junxie's shirt was off and he stood

with his back to the door, and blocked Theresa's view.

"Sorry if I intrude"he said and retraced his steps backwards. He didn't know his brother and woman

were having a nice time.

Junxie turned to face him. "Who permitted you to come in?"he demanded. He wasn't looking any better

than he was before leaving the hospital.

Theresa walked over and smiled. She was going to walk out when Junxie asked. "Did I tell you to leave

Theresa?"

Theresa retraced her steps and Junxie looked at Julia with an eye of what do you want?. Julia coughed

slightly and said their parents were downstairs and wanted to see him.

Junxie just turned away from his brother and hissed. "Tell them I said I want to be alone" he didn't let

him say anything before pushing him out of the door and shutting it.

"Elder brother, please come and settle everything once and for all. The Zu's will be arriving soon and

dad wants to have a talk with you first.." Julia was punching the door and talking at the top of his voice.

Theresa paused at the mention of the Zu's coming over. She looked at Junxie who went to pull a towel

from it's rack and was going to bathe.

"Be careful so water doesn't get to the wound" Theresa Mo reminded him. "Will you come into the

bathroom with me?" Junxie Li asked instead of answering her question.

Theresa said no and he strode into the bathroom with his boxers alone. He must shave first and treat

his hair.

Theresa Mo came downstairs and saw Cheng Li and Carol Li waiting. They appeared to be remorseful

over what they did.

Carol Li looked at Theresa with earnestness in her eyes. "He's having a bath" Theresa Mo said and

Carol Li smiled and said thanks.

"Junxie Li is upset. Please coax him to come downstairs. We need to talk to him. He should let mum

and dad explain things to him"Julia referred his words to Theresa.

He wasn't comfortable with what his parents said. But after hearing the conditions they attached to it,

he had no option than to agree with them.

If he was his parents, he definitely would have settled things quickly and immediately. But Junxie Li

was going to feel offended for edging him out of the whole matter.

After all, he was the one directly involved in the incident. They should have let him give the final verdict.

But now, the deed has been done and he is not happy, totally feeling offended. Maybe Theresa Mo can

talk to him to give their parents a chance to explain what really happened.

"I'll try. You know your brother better" Theresa replied and went upstairs again. When she went in,

Junxie Li was not out of the bathroom. She wondered why he was staying longer than expected.

She knocked on his door but didn't receive an answer. She then decided to open the door to see what

he's doing in there..
