Married to the President novel Chapter 22

The boys stared at the woman that came in. She looked nice and smiled sweetly at them but they did not want another woman, they wanted their mummy to read them the bedtime story.

"I want mummy,"Lee declared, folding his little arms across his chest. He frowned. They have never spent a night away from their mother.

Now they miss her stories. Junxie Li sighed audibly and said their mummy is somewhere far away from them. But he promised to bring their mummy home with them the next day.

"I want my mummy too. I want to hear how the story of the fairy princess and the poor guard ended"Tim declared.

Junxie Li felt he was going to have a cerebral haemorrhage. Is this how difficult it is to deal with kids? What has he gotten himself into that night?

He should have just let them return to their mother and get them three over to his place the next day.

It was already dark and he wouldn't be able to take them out this late. He doesn't want to contact Julia Li as well. His brother was likely to be under the quilt with his woman at the time.

"Oh, stories about the fairy Princess and the poor guard are for little kids and girls. But I will tell you a story meant for men and big boys like you" Junxie Li announced forcing a smile on.

The two boys exchange glances with each other. Is that true? They are now big boys and should be categorised as men.

They nodded and Junxie Li took a deep breath. He looked at Ms Diddy helplessly. He wished he could escape from this situation but he has nowhere to escape to.

"Once upon a time, the jungle had only one king.." Junxie Li paused. What was he going to say next about the jungle and it's king?

He looked at Ms Diddy and the latter gave a shrug. Even she doesn't know what happened in that jungle nor to it's king.

Junxie Li stood up and went away. The story was indeed scary and that was all he could think of and quickly made up to tell them.

Aren't they the ones who wanted a bedtime story before they could sleep. He sat on the sofa in the sitting room. And less than twenty minutes later, Ms Diddy walked out of the room.

"Are they asleep?" Junxie Li asked and Ms Diddy nodded. "Since I don't know which fairy story their mother told them halfway, I sang them a poem and they drifted off to sleep.

But eldest master, that story you were telling them was indeed scary. How do you want kids like them to sleep without having a nightmare?" Ms Diddy complained.

"I couldn't think of anything else,"Junxie Li answered and sank into the chair. He is addicted to Ms Diddy. She knows him as much as his mother does.

If I am not trespassing, can I ask you a question eldest master? Ms Diddy requested.
