CHAPTER 183; 'I am dedicating this project to my niece"

She was happy and proud of Junxie. A lot of women definitely have a crush on him and she has him all to herself, no rival, no fear of losing him. He looked so handsome and charming with a domineering aura. He arrived at the stage and hugged Julia before standing to face the audience. He had an ear microphone on as he looked over the audience seated and briefly into the camera before he started his speech." I specially welcome you all…" he began. A lot of people were listening from their homes and offices, especially their rivals. The eldest master of Li's family was making new investments within the few years he took over the Group from his father. Rita was watching from the comfort of her sitting room. She saw President Li and how he hugged Julia. She hadn't seen Julia since the day Alfred embarrassed him in her hospital ward. He looked a little emaciated but still handsome as always. As Junxie gave his speech, Rita's eyes were not on him nor was she hearing all he was saying. She kept her eyes glued on Julia. She doesn't know why but she can't help it. Somehow, Julia still looked attractive to her. She suddenly paid attention to Junxie as she heard applause coming from those at the live broadcast. She didn't know what the President said that aroused such clapping but she smiled. The two brothers look very much alike. "... and I am dedicating this project to my niece, who never was able to see the light of this world and to my sons, Tim and Lee.." Junxie Li continued. Rita's eyes immediately welled up in tears. He dedicated the project to her dead baby? He still remembers her and already was counting her as his niece? She sniffled and cleaned the tears from her eyes. She is happy, at least someone out there acknowledges her baby. Julia May have forgotten about her, she will never forget that she was pregnant with his child. He was the man who she truly loved. But when love is not reciprocated, or rather love turned into hate, it is wise to walk away when one can still do so. She is sure that back then Julia loved her. When the going was good, he was her perfect man. But why is she even thinking about him? Rita shook the thoughts off and concentrated her attention on Junxie on the screen. But when she looked at the screen, Junxie was done with his speech and Julia was giving the vote of thanks. Julia smiled as he talked. Junxie hardly smiles and when he does, it's brief before returning to his usual poker expressionless face. But Julia is different. He smiles a lot and as Rita watched him smile through the screen, she remembered when he showed her so much love and smiled as often as he can whenever they are together. After Julia declared the press release over, everyone stood up and the streaming ended. But it made Rita shed a few tears. She saw Julia and he became so distant from her. Why didn't he love her again? Besides getting pregnant intentionally, what other offence had she committed against him? " Why Julia, why don't you love me again? I still love you a lot…" Rita sob when her mother emerged from her room. She saw her daughter sobbing. Monica became unhappy again. She thought her daughter was already overcoming the grief of losing her baby. But looks like being alone, she remembers and it brings tears to her eyes. " It's ok Rita. You are still a young woman, you will surely have another baby. Wouldn't it be nice if you get pregnant someday and give birth to a set of twins.." Monica was amusing her, and trying to pacify her. Rita swallowed a ball of saliva. Her mother was mistaken. She wasn't sobbing because she lost the pregnancy, but because she missed and still loves Julia. When Junxie was through, he returned to his office and prepared to go home. He needed to see Theresa and the kids, he missed them already. Theresa Mo already left when Junxie Li got into his car home. When he arrived, he met Theresa and the boys having dinner together in the Mansion. He went to the boys and kissed their Chubby chin. He missed them badly and caressed their hair. " Miss you kiddos," Junxie Li said, not having enough of them. He saw Theresa dishing them more vegetables and chicken and he picked two, and gave the boys one each, They were so happy and thanked their Daddy. They have missed him too and they heard what he said at the press release. But they do not understand what he meant by dedicating the project to them. They only knew he called their names. He sat down with them despite still in his suit. He felt Theresa's quietness is an indication that she's unhappy with him. He picked a piece of chicken and wanted to stuck it into Theresa's mouth, but she turned her head away and stood up, indicating that she's filled. Junxie didn't say anything again but accompanied the boys to finish their meal. He ate a little himself before they returned to their quarters. As soon as the boys left, Junxie went upstairs, going into the bedroom. He met Theresa, making her hair into a ponytail, and standing before the mirror. " I missed you my love" Junxie Li chimed.
