Chapter 9 Saw Theresa again

Lu Jingli was shocked and his hands shivered. This is his ex wife Theresa Mo. She looked happy with her friends. She was fishing her meal into her mouth with the chopsticks so that she didn't notice that some people were staring at her. The waiter came and took Lu Jingli's order and his mother. But the latter became muddle headed after seeing Theresa Mo. He had tried finding her and locating her for many months until he finally gave up. He concluded she had done something to herself or left the country. But where was she going to get the money to take a flight out of the country. She was left without a penny and not allowed to take a needle out of the house. But seeing her now, she looked gorgeous and beautiful and more mature. She looked elegant and Lu Jingli wondered how she had lived for the past four years. He hadn't stopped regretting his actions and vile behavior to her a few years ago. He later realised that he loved her and not Tiana. He had grown to love her but when he realised his feelings for her, it was too late. She had gone and he couldn't find her to apologise. "Lu Jingli, don't be muddle headed"Cherry Lu called her son's attention to herself. He doesn't seem to take his eyes off her again. He turned to look at his mother and the waiter brought their orders. He didn't know when he started looking at Theresa Mo again and his chopsticks ended up picking dishes from the table rather than from his plates. Cherry Lu became embarrassed. She pinched his hand and the latter came back to his senses. He took the chopsticks towards his mouth when his mother pulled his hands down. He looked and saw that he was taking empty chopsticks to his mouth. He felt embarrassed and decided to concentrate on his lunch. Theresa Mo was almost done with her meal but she was observing the chemistry that is ensuing between Lanre and Rosa. Lanre was showing interest in Rosa but the latter was pretending not to notice. She would be happy if things can work out between these two friends of hers. Soon the meal was over and Lanre went over to pay. Theresa Mo said she wants to buy a car and Rosa agreed with her. She needs a car to conveniently move around with her kids. When they stood up, Theresa Mo's eyes locked with Lu Jingli and she flippantly turned her eyes away. She doesn't know anyone in her past anymore, especially those who destroy her happiness. "Hi Theresa"Lu Jingli didn't know when he called her. Theresa Mo glared at him and squinted. Her friends also paused and looked at the fellow who knows Theresa. "Hi. You are who?" Theresa Mo pretended not to recognise him. Lu Jingli became more embarrassed the more. She even pretends not to know him? "Your ex husband Lu Jingli"the latter also sheepishly answered. Lanre and Rosa exchange glances with each other. So this is the animal who conspired against others to ruin his wife and then throw her off like a filth. "My ex husband?" She turned and looked at Rosa. "I had a husband before that became an ex?" She asked and everyone would have thought she was suffering from amnesia. Other customers in the restaurant seemed interested in her words and waited to hear her friend's reply. "You mean the idiot who conspired with others to set his wife up and divorce her simply because his dwelling place is the hole between the thighs of his sister in law.? Was that what you wanted to ask me?"Rosa replied and looked at the fellow seated with a sneer. He doesn't deserve to be called a husband. " Oh! Yeah that's the perfect way to describe the fool who sits with his senseless mother to have lunch. Well seeing you again ex husband" Theresa Mo gave a wicked grin and then walked away with her friends. Other people in the company understood what happened. Lu Jingli was the idiot the two friends were talking about. Different comments started coming into his ears. "Terrible man as a husband and unfilia man" " He sleeps with his sister in-law and divorce his wife" " this must be his sugar Mummy" " some men can put their dicks in anything that has hole between its legs.." Cherry Lu couldn't control the anger boiling in her. She stood up and said she was leaving. Lu Jingli also followed suit and quickly paid their bills and left. "They are going to fuck each other in the nearest hotel" "shameless woman in her old age sleeping with her Son's age mate" " does an old woman makes you comfortable than your sister in-law?" The last bits of comment entered into their ears and they hurried their steps out. Lu Jingli got into his car and his mother entered as well. "It's all your fault. Why didn't you just pretend that you don't know Theresa Mo?"Cherry Lu quarrelled. "How was it my fault when you called me and asked me to meet you here? It was who wanted to see me and I came. What's wrong in saying hi to an ex wife?"Lu Jingli retorted back. He's feeling upset already. He doesn't want his mother to add more salt to his injury. He hissed and asked her why she invited him. "Your wife Tiana needs you now. This is the time when both of you can make babies and this issue of children would be settled once and for all.."Cherry Lu was coaxing her when he interrupted her badly. "Did she come to report me to you? Twice we've gone for IVF and you know about it all. I can't keep wasting my manly strength on a woman who cannot get pregnant despite exhibiting my masculine prowess,"Lu Jingli complained. "It's not her fault. She wants to be pregnant too. Take pity on her and fulfil your part. Hopefully one of these days, she would take in"Cherry Lu encouraged him. If he was still with Theresa Mo, perhaps they would have gotten two kids already. But he blew away the opportunity of being with an intelligent woman and went to be married to Tiana. It was all his mother's fault. She had pushed him this far and now, he doesn't know where he is going anymore. He is just paddling along wherever the storms lead him. "I'll try my best again mum, and that's because you want me to produce a grandchild for you" Lu Jingli assured her. Cherry Lu smiled. She knew he would listen to her as always. He should do it however Tiana wants it so that her friend and herself would both share a grandchild to strengthen their bond of friendship. "But one more thing, don't let her know about Theresa Mo"
