Married to the President
Chapter 103: She trapped me

Carol Li saw the tears and quickly cleaned it off with her index finger. "Don't cry child, it is not good for the baby you are carrying.

Has Julia been misbehaving towards you? Don't hesitate to call me if he dares go rash with you. I will give him a good spanking.." Carol Li said.

Rita just hugged her. She doesn't know what to say next. Julia walked back and saw his mother and Rita embracing each other and Just sat down with his legs crossed.

" Julia, call the servant and offer Rita some juice. And if you don't see any of them, you would be doing a great good by serving your wife a glass of juice" Carol Li instructed.

"The servants are busy. Tell her where the kitchen is and she would get anything she wants from there" Julia replied and took out his phone.

"Julia! Don't think you are too big for mama to spank.." Carol Li was frowning at him.

"I'll go get something for us aunt. Don't bother him" Rita stood up. She walked in the direction of the dinning and soon located the kitchen.

Rita easily got to the kitchen and opened it. She found different assorted fruit drinks and brought one bottle out. She took three glass cups into a tray and placed the bottle of juice on it as well.

She returned to the sitting room and poured in a glass of juice for her mother in law "bless you my child" Carol appreciated by taking the glass from her and took a quick sip before placing it down. She poured the second to Julia. But rather than take it from her, "place it down" he said and kept pressing on his phone.

Rita did and then poured herself a glass as well. The three sat down and Rita took her Juice. By the time Julia wanted to take his juice, his father came out.

"Hello, you must be Rita," Cheng Li said, with a smile. Rita stood up quickly and bowed "I am father" she replied politely.

Cheng Li opened his arms and Rita walked into them as her father gave her a pat on her back.

"You are welcome to Li's family" Cheng Li chimed. "Glad to be here father," Rita replied and smiled.

"Come and sit down. Don't stand too long, it's not appropriate for pregnant women" Carol Li said and Rita shyly returned to her seat.

Julia didn't show a bit of interest in the conversation that ensued between his parents and wife.

It seemed to him that they were happy. He knew they were, otherwise, his father would have counteracted what his elder brother said and the marriage would not have taken place. "Congratulations Julia and Rita. I wish you both the best happiness in the world" Cheng Li chimed.

"Thank you Father" Rita appreciated but Julia Li didn't say anything. He pouted his lips and pretended not to hear anything.

Cheng Li knew that Julia Li was not happy that he got married to Rita. But what can they do when Junxie Li insists that he marry her for the baby's sake.

They reasoned with what he said and had no option than to agree that he married her. His refusal cannot be compared to the loss of a child that is going to be a Li.

But if Rita can tolerate him, he may Later develop feelings for her. But Rita has to pay the price of winning his heart and thereby having a happy family with her husband and child. "Dinner is ready. Let's go to the dining room, Carol Li announced. She had been waiting stylishly for Cheng to join them before having dinner.

He held Rita and led her delicately towards the dinning. "You are going to give birth to my granddaughter Rita. I have enough of the male species.

Junxie and Julia, Tim and Lee and now, what I want is a girl. A house that has no girl child would soon fade away in beauty. A girl child is a symbol of beauty.."

Carol was chiming excitedly. She arrived at the dinning and pulled out a chair for Rita to sit down on.

Rita smiled and thanked her Mother in-law. Julia followed behind and heard what his mother said.

He doesn't know where his mother got that philosophy that a girl child is a symbol of beauty. Aren't they a symbol of handsomeness?

He really wished that the child in Rita's belly would be a girl. He loves daughters More than sons. If she gave him a daughter, he would celebrate both the baby and her mother.

Cheng Li laughed out loud. He said he wants a grandchild and anyone is ok with him. He wants to be a man with plenty of grandchildren.

The servants came and dish food for the family. Carol Li said more vegetables and fish should be added to Rita's meal to help the baby develop fine and healthy.

Rita was lost. Everything her mother in law would say will be related to the baby. She had suddenly become delicate and fragile.

She is sure if she stayed with her mother-in-law, she would do nothing except to bathe and eat. She would spoil her terribly,

Midway through the meal, Julia paused and took a glass of water. As he raised his head, his eyes locked with Theresa's but only glanced at her briefly and looked away. "Junxie gas instructed that the get-together will be held this Saturday. And officially he would be introducing his kids and Theresa.

Hopefully, I will also be announcing that Rita and I are expecting a baby" Julia announced and resumed back to his meal.

"I do not get something straight, what do you mean You and Rita are expecting a baby? Aren't you both married?" Cheng Li asked.

He felt Julia's words would hurt Rita. He had refused to address her as wife. Infact, he wouldn't talk to her and say anything when he wished them a happy married life.

If a man behaves in such a mean way to his daughter, he wouldn't like it at all. If he detest her so much and doesn't want to associate with her, he should have watched his way and not gotten her Pregnant.

"I am still saying the same thing, dad," Julia said, amidst mouthful. He was defending himself. He doesn't want to address her as his wife.

Rita's eyes have gone Teary. She just bowed her head and wouldn't raise it up. The food in her mouth was being chewed silently as if she was afraid of being caught chewing.

Julia doesn't like her at all. When a man feels uncomfortable addressing a woman by the title she deserves, it's a pure indication that he thought worthless if her.

"You are not saying the same thing. You will have to restructure your statement and introduce Rita as your dear wife and after that you announce the news of you both expecting your child.

I don't want to hear you address her by her first name anymore. Privately when you both are alone or publicly in the presence of other people" Cheng Li declared.

"I don't want to be a rude dad but I will not do that. I don't love her and this marriage is a compromise. I cannot address a woman I have no feelings for as my wife" Julia replied.

Rita was feeling uncomfortable already. He said it before his parents that he didn't love her and their marriage was a compromise.

"You don't love her and yet, you got her Pregnant? Have you lost it Julia? You talk like you are not my son" Cheng Li bellowed.

"I did not get her Pregnant intentionally. She forced herself into my bed and trapped me with the pregnancy. It was all mapped out by her and I was ignorant about her plot.

She wants me to slide a ring through her fingers and earn the title of Mrs Li. I don't like cheap women who have no self esteem, but tricked a man into..."Julia was furious and as he talked, his eyes looked at Rita in full glare of hatred☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
