Married to the President
Chapter 95: Does my presence irritate

As he stepped through the door, he felt a little bit tipsy. He met Rita watching a movie. He glanced at her briefly before walking towards the stairs.

"Hey Julia" Rita greeted. She stood up and caught up with him as he approached the stair, smiling at him.

She hadn't seen him in days. She didn't call him because she felt he was upset that she made him marry her as a matter of responsibility and not as a result of love or feelings. But she loved him. She cares a lot about him and had only wished that she would become he's one day.

Julia Li just stared at her with a poker face. He wants her to see clearly that he is not interested in her being his wife hadn't been his brother didn't impose it on him.

"Welcome. I haven't seen you in days and I already miss you" Rita said, trying to hold him by his hand.

Julia dodged his hand from her and looked at her from head to toe." On the contrary, I didn't miss you, not a bit. Infact walking through that door and seeing you seated irritates me" Julia replied and walked past her.

Rita turned and watched him disappear into his room. Does her presence irritate him that much? He didn't even reply to her greetings but outrightly told her she irritates him.

She went back and sat on the sofa. She shouldn't have talked to him beyond a welcome. She now lives in the same Mansion with him but behaves like a stranger.

Julia took a shower and came downstairs for his dinner. He was already a little drunk. Just needed to take something light.

He returned to the sitting room with his laptop, he was working on it. But glancing at Rita with his split vision, he saw her concentrating on her movie and intended to make her unhappy. He took the remote and changed the channel to a news station. Rita was angry. How can he change the channel from the one she is watching to a news channel without informing her first?

But what surprised her the most was that, while she was fuming with displeasure, he returned to his laptop, giving it full concentration.

He is not interested in listening to the news and yet wouldn't let her watch her movie. She glared at him and was angry.

She still sat down and kept shifting from one side to another. Waiting for a long time for Julia to raise his head and look at the TV but he didn't.

"Julia, I was watching a movie before you changed to another channel. Aren't you interested in watching the TV so I can return to my movie?" Rita asked.

Julia raised her head and asked "Do I need to fix my eyes on the TV before I listen to the news? I don't know about you, but I use my ears to listen and not my eyes" he snapped at her.

"But you could at least tell me before Changing the channels since I was watching a movie before you came," Rita reprimanded him.

"This is my house and not yours. I don't need to consider you or ask you anything if I want to do whatever I like. Your place is restricted to that bedroom, if I let you stay anywhere else, consider my kindness and don't take it for granted" Julia replied arrogantly.

"I am now your wife Julia and I have rights to all you have"Rita replied and what she said seemed to infuriate Julia and he glared at her angrily.

"Oh, that is why you decided to get pregnant and trap me into marrying you? You want to own all that I have?" Julia demanded.

Rita was speechless. She didn't know how to reply to his accusations. She just stared at Julia and didn't know what to say next.

Gently she stood up and went away. She got into her room and shut the door. She will henceforth avoid being together with Julia in the same room.

She had known her place and wouldn't trespass and go beyond the jurisdiction of her welcome.

It has taken days after Rosa and Lanre went their separate ways. Lanre had crossed his mind about Rosa and already kept his distance.

He was able to discontinue the unfilial acts with Nancy and intends to travel to Country A. He would give a notification to the management and would be away for a couple of weeks.

He needed to be away. His break up with Rosa has really affected him. He might momentarily forget about it when he is busy, but once he is alone, he remembers her.

He loves her, he's never loved any of his ex girlfriends like he does about Rosa. But he didn't know she didn't love him that much.

He needed to change the environment for a while so as to completely forget about Rosa. He had gotten drunk that day and ended up with Nancy thinking it was her.

He was not willing to get drunk anymore. He doesn't want to give a chance to allow a previous mistake to reoccur. He might probably be grieving and heartbroken, but what if Rosa isn't feeling the way he is feeling at the time.

But contrary to what Lanre thought, Rosa was down emotionally. She had overreacted. She was too harsh in her words to Lanre and the latter never contacted her again.

She missed him a lot. She couldn't even tell Theresa about what happened. It's all her fault. She had pushed him far away and it seemed like he was not willing to return.

She wished he would return and asked her for a talk, she would readily welcome him back to her life but she doesn't want to lose her pride by taking the steps to get back with him. That evening, as Lanre laid on his bed, he was thinking. He had studied in country A but decided to return to his current country D to replace his real parents.

His foster parents had told him he was an adopted son. They had lived in Country D for years and at that time, they decided to adopt a child since they couldn't get one of their own.

He was barely four when he was adopted. He was only told after he became an adult. His parents begged him not to think otherwise, but they couldn't hide the truth from him. They were not his biological parents. But that doesn't change anything. He is their Son and he always will be.

But he had overlooked it all these years. It's time he starts doing something about it. He would visit the orphanage and start digging for information.

He got into his wardrobe and brought out papers of his adoption. His parents had given them to him with the hope that it would lead him to the answers he sought.000
