Chapter 17: Coincidental meeting
"Are you our real dad?" Lee Mo asked, looking up at him and smiling like the Sunshine. He seemed
ready to jump over to him and hug him.
Tim felt his forehead blank. What does Lee mean by asking someone he just meant for the first time if
he is their real dad? Did he know a fake one before?
"Maybe I might be your daddy if the DNA proved that" Junxie Li replied, trying to smile. He's never
been intimate with children before and doesn't know how to interact with them like friends.
"Let's go for DNA then,"Lee Mo demanded. He wants them to go right away and not spare another
minute standing and staring at each other.
Tim tried to pull his brother to make him reason right. He shouldn't jump on strangers but allow an
adult to guide him.
"Sure" Junxie Li replied and asked his men to lead the way. Tim said no. They were in a restaurant in
Company of mummy's friends and they would get worried if they didn't see them.
"I will let my men inform them that you are with me"Junxie Li declared and the two fellows were lifted
off their feet.
Tim wants to struggle but feels at ease being with this man who's likely to be their father.
Pascal Lee got into the car and Junxie got in with the boys. The bodyguards took their car and drove
behind them. They were heading to the hospital.
"Who's your mother?" Junxie Li asked, trying to create a conversation with the kids. He can't explain
but seemed to have known the boys before they met.
He had gotten instantly bonded with the kids. He doesn't know how to put it but doesn't want to leave
them. They just met for the first time a few minutes ago but already loved them.
"Theresa Mo is our mummy's name,"Tim answered. He knew they would soon be in the hospital and
the final result will show if he is truly their father or not.
"What are your names?" He asked again and Lee Mo answered " My name is Lee Mo and my
brother's name is Tim Mo"
Junxie Li smiled. They bear their mother's surname as well. He wouldn't ask any more questions. He
doesn't like talking unnecessarily.
After some time, the kids haven't returned. Rosa said she would go check on them but Lanre said no.
She wouldn't be able to enter a male restroom to avoid embarrassment.
He stood up and went in to check but didn't see the boys in all the rooms. He got to the last one and
pushed it open forcefully.
Only for him to come face to face with an old man tying his belt. The man looked at him annoyingly
and Lanre felt embarrassed.
He apologized and went away. The boys were not in the restroom? Where could they be? They
couldn't be playing around in a place like this.
He went outside and looked around. He didn't see them and he began to feel uneasy. The boys were
still young and haven't not known places in the city, they couldn't possibly have left.
He asked the Securities if they saw two boys very identical. The security squinted. There were two
boys who left a while ago in Company of their father. Is this man looking for the same boys?
The security said besides two identical boys who went out with their father, there were no other boys
they saw that evening.
Lanre asked to see the surveillance camera. Rosa became uneasy. Tim and Lee went to relieve
themselves and hadn't returned. Lanre went to check on them and refused to be back after a while.
If she stood up and went, would she also be trapped there? She stretched her neck in the direction of
the restroom and didn't see any of them emerge.
If Lanre didn't see them, he would at least come back and tell her about it. She didn't see Lanre nor
the kids. She hoped everything was alright with them.
Rosa stood up to go to the restroom when she saw Lanre walking with heavy footsteps towards her.
She stood and saw his countenance.
Something isn't right.
Where is Tim and Lee? Lanre's face was cold and good of the cheerfulness it had before he left.
He came and sat down groggily. He was tapping his finger on the table and Same time biting his lower
lip.
"What happened Lanre? Where's Tim and Lee?" Rosa asked. She quietly took her seat to be on the
same level of sight with Lanre.
"Someone took Tim and Lee away. And I suspect that person is their father. The semblance is too
identical.."Lanre explained to her.
Rosa was alarmed. Someone took the boys away? What will they tell Theresa Mo? She can't live
without the boys anymore.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"When I didn't see them, I asked to see the surveillance camera. That was when I saw how the little
fellow giggled away after the man who's miniature they are'' Lanre explained further.
Despite being a wealthy man and popularly referred to as the eldest master of the Li's family, he
shouldn't do something so despicable as taking kids away from their guardian without permission.
"How do we track the fellow down?"Rosa asked. They need to find him and get the kids back. They
can't return to Theresa with excuses.
"He's not easy to trail Rosa. That's what bothers me alot"Lanre replied. If he was an ordinary citizen
like himself, perhaps he would have sent men after him already.
"That means you know him. Who's he?"Rosa asked. Is there anyone who cannot be trialed easily
besides the politicians and the armed men?
"Junxie Li, the eldest master of the Li's family" Lanre answered and Rosa gripped his hand in fear.
" President Li?" She blurted out.
