Eunji smiled when she saw his wife's ears turned red.
He knew she had caught him off guard.
Seeing that his wife had set up this fancy breakfast on the table placed at the center of the gazebo with two chairs on the opposite sides.
"What are you up to?" Nathan asked her.
"Can't I take my husband for a breakfast date? I just miss spending monts like this with you." Eunji said sheepishly.
"Oho! Is there sothing that you wanted to ask from ? Co, whatever it is, I'll do it for you." Nathan said as he tucked her inside his strong embrace.
"Nothing. I just didn't want you to feel that you're less of a man because of the awful things you had experienced in the past." Eunji answered truthfully.
Nathan broke off the hug and looked down to look at her.
"Does her presence bothers you? I'll ask the Park to replace her as their representative." Nathan promised to her.
Nathan thought that she was jealous of her.
(A/N: Well, is there any reason for her to be jealous of Nathan boy?)
However to his surprise, Eunji flashed a warm smile that was warr than the rays of the sun during sumr days.
"Silly. I am not! I am more worried than you. I think it's you who are more bothered than I am. She had done so much to you. And I think your reaction towards her is pretty normal."
"Don't worry. I am tougher than you think. The past years had turned into a man with a strong heart. And besides, I have you now. You are the apple of my both eyes now, aren't you?"
Nathan hugged her one more ti.
"Cool. Let's eat before the food turns cold. I just cooked them. I borrowed the cafeteria's kitchen earlier. Of course I did it when they were done using the kitchen. So, I hope you'll like it."
"Of course I will. Your dishes are the best wifey! But I just hope you didn't have any burns this ti. The last ti you had cooked sothing, you scalded your hand and cut your finger." Nathan said as he helped her sit on the chair first before he did.
Nathan opened the covers and he was treated with an authentic Japanese breakfast. Rice, miso soup, and grilled fish, tsukemono (Japanese prickles) nori (dried seasoned seaweed), natto (soybeans), kobachi and green salad were placed in front of him.
Eunji had her share of congee as Master Liu had strictly told her to follow his diet plan so her body's recovery would go well.
She was having a serve of slow cooker oatal with yogurt and fruit with a twist. She added chili paste in it and of course the dicine that Master Liu had concocted especially for her.
"Wow!" Nathan was speechless.
Eunji smiled as she was very satisfied by his reaction.
"Wait. You grilled the fish? Wifey, you're allergic to this, aren't you?"
Eunji pursed as she knew she'd be in trouble.
"Ahm. The chef helped in cooking that. Well, they seasoned the fish for . And I grilled it. I used a tong. I didn't touch it with my bare hands. So don't worry. I'm fine."
"What ti did you wake up just to prepare all of this?" He asked her.
There's no way she would finish this all in an hour.
And here cos the trouble that Eunji was worried about.
"Well...I woke up at two thirty in the morning because I felt like my bladder was about to explode. Hmmm. I could not sleep afterwards so... and an idea popped up in my mind. You know, my mind was more productive at night." She paused as she gulped down as she felt her throat dry up.
"But I didn't wake up during that ti. How did you leave without knowing? Hmmm?"
"About that. Well, I induced you to deep sleep with my needles. I didn't want anything to spoil my surprise to you. Heaven knows how many surprise plans had been cancelled, ruined, etc. this past weeks because it was either soone told you or I have to tell you personally or you have figured everything out yourself before I could even start my plan." She added.
"You know that I am never expecting any returns from you every ti I did sothing good to you."
"As I said, you felt terrible because of her to the point that you had beco the worst version of your self at so point. I hope that by doing this, I could show you that you're more than worthy and deserved to be pampered and treated well by the people you cared for and love. That yes. Loosing her was for the best because you have found at the very end."
"Wifey. You know I no longer care about her. She's a re part of my past. To , she's just a representative of my business partner. Nothing more nothing less. Sigh...I'm sorry if I have a ssy past. Sorry for the trouble."
"No, you're past is at least less ssier than mine." Nathan could see a hint of sadness in Eunji's eyes.
'Stupid!' He inwardly castrated himself.
"But as what you've said, it's all in the past. Past that are ant to remain in the past. And we are happy now. But as I listened to you last night-" she paused as she sighed and continued, "What happened to you had been such an eye opener for ."
"What do you an? What are you implying?" Nathan's brows furrowed.
"I have been saying that I love you but actually, I have not fully showed it you through my actions. I was so used of your endless pampering that I had forgotten that it's a two-way relationship and not a one-sided one. So I hope that my ssage had fully reached your heart. Hubby, let spoil you sotis, okay?"
"En!" Nathan agreed when he learned the aning behind everything.
When they finished their breakfast, Eunji and Nathan went back to their place not minding that the people were throwing a questioning look towards them because they were still on their pajamas.
"Because I know you won't be able to change one when you found the space beside you empty." She confidently said when he asked her earlier why she was still on her pajamas.
"Then, let's have an early morning nap. Sleep is very important especially for you.' Nathan reminded her.
As if it was expected, Eunji yawned as she felt sleepy.
"See what I'm talking about?" Nathan imdiately pointed out.
***
As agreed, Nathan and Eunji had ca back to their mansion later that day to et everyone there because she had a very important proposition.
The couple had arrived an hour earlier than the expected ti of gathering.
They should be a good host even though the people coming over were families and close friends.
Eunji had changed into a comfortable pair of grey female trousers and deep green turtle neck.
Eunji could hear the footsteps downstairs and she knew they had arrived.
And she should go down and welco them one by one.
Eunji rode the elevator which Nathan had installed this beforehand the mont he found out she was pregnant with their children.
Actually, he had contracted a builder to do a lot of renovations in the mansion. He made sure that all the floors were covered with carpets and all of the walls have so railings were she could hold onto if ever she felt dizzy.
There were also benches or chairs in random places just so she could sit whenever she felt exhausted.
"Eunji!" Mada Mo bead in joy when she saw Eunji coming out of the elevator.
Eunji welcod her with a warm hug and she greeted her back.
"Mom! I miss you!"
"Silly child! I miss you more!" Mada Mo then broke off the hug and then studied her figure.
"Are you okay? How's pregnancy? Does that Nathan brat treated you well? Tell if he's giving you a hard ti and I'll knock so sense at him. i won't mind if I'll discipline her son from ti to ti."
Eunji's heart well up when she saw and heard her concern at her. She felt her motherly love and it touched her heart making her to be emotional and a tear run down on her cheeks.
"Mom, calm down! I'm fine. I'm recovering pretty well and Nathan had played a big part of that. He is true to his word of staying with through thick and thin. Pregnancy's pretty hard but Nathan's by my side so I'm less worried." Eunji said but it was her who was crying.
"Good." Mada Mo approved as she was satisfied by her answer and helped her wipe away her tears.
Of course Mada Mo knew what was going on with her.
"Sorry. Hormones."
"Shhhh. I know. It's okay. So don't worry."
Like on cue, Nathan who was talking to Master Mo, Mo Jing-sheng, Master Hua and his friends imdiately ca forward to et her.
"Hi beautiful. Can I be your boy friend?" Nathan said as he snaked his hands around her waist hugging her on the process.
Eunji inwardly scoffed as he heard his antics. But still he decided to play along.
"Oh! I'm sorry Ajusshi but I have a very handso man at ho. He's responsible, caring, loving, understanding and have a very long patience when I threw my tantrums. And also, he's super rich! I won't leave him for anyone. He's my husband and I love him." She teased but leaned in to give him a peck on the lips.
"Well, that bastard is damn lucky to be married with a loving, beautiful, caring, compassionate, responsible, understanding and most importantly, a very loyal wife. And it's so good to be that bastard." Nathan grinned as he gave her a kiss on the lips.
"Oh gosh young people. Go and find a room!" Hua Zhang Wei said.
Nathan glared at him but a smirk ford on his lips when he knew what was about to co.
"You damn brat!" Master Hua hit him with the folded news paper and continued. "Look at your friends. They're getting married and was expecting for their babies but what about you? You're giving a head ache. Go, find a girl and get married! I want to see my grandchild!"
Poor Hua Zhang Wei.
"But Dad! Jeong Ho isn't married as well. And besides I am not ready to be in hell." Hua Zhang Wei whined like a child throwing tantrums.
"At least Jeong Ho have found himself a woman to date. What about you? You haven't even brought a girl ho and introduce to your mom and I. You have also avoided the blind dates that your mom and I had arranged for you."
"Dad! Please give a break. You have been bugging about this. I want to focus my ti in learning about the ins and outs of the company first. And when the ti is right, I want to take ti in finding the one. I want to fall in love, too."
"Fine. I'll give you a year. If you had not found my daughter-in-law, I'll look for her myself. And no objections this ti!" Master Hua said in finality making Hua Zhang Wei speechless.
'What does he even an? It's so hard to master everything in a year.' He thought.
And besides, he didn't think he could find his soon wife in a year given that he was super busy with company matters.
Now Hua Zhang Wei regretted his decision to speak up. All he wanted was to tease the couple.
"It's okay son. Your father won't be so hard on you if you'll find our daughter-in-law." Madam Hua decided to tease her son making the latter to be dumbfounded.
Hua Zhang Wei happened to look at Nathan's eyes and he suddenly trembled.
Nathan was looking at him as if saying that he deserved it.
Who told him to disrupt their couple sweet monts?
"Enough of that. Seb, stop being harsh to your son. Pressuring him would do no good to him." Mother i interrupted as she pushed Grandma Sana's wheelchair as they entered the living room.
"Aunty i!" Hua Zhang Wei imdiately run towards i's side as if everyone in the room had bullied him.
He's glad to have an ally against them.
i kind of spoiled Hua Zhang Wei ever since he beca friends with Nathan to the point that Nathan ca to him and asked if he was one of his brothers.
He could still recall the jealousy in Nathan's eyes when he confronted him.
Of course the answer was a big fat NO.
But Zhang Wei had always been a cheerful and happy kid and he also knew how to make his way into the hearts of the elders by using his charm.
"Right let's not tease nor pressure him. Let the kid breathe." Grandma Sana chid in as she looked at the pair young couple who were in each other's arms.
"Grandma!" Eunji bead in happiness as she walked towards grandma Sana.
The latter had been given the clearance to go ho earlier today and she was resting in her room when they arrived so she didn't bother her as she wanted to let her rest.
"Dear! You looked amazing! Pregnancy suits you well." Grandma Sana showered her with complints making Eunji to be shy and emotional at the sa ti.
"You looked fantastic grandma. How's your recovery?"
"I feel fantastic! Thank you!"
