Nathan was holding Kim Eunji's hand as they descended down the stairs.
Kim Eunji was grumpy while Nathan was smiling ear to ear.
Dinner must be served by seven but because Nathan was such a bully, it was delayed for another hour.
Kim Eunji looked at her sore hand and then threw Nathan her dagger like gazes.
"Love, don't be mad at okay? You brought it to yourself. I have already warned you to not provoke but you didn't listen." Nathan whispered in her ear.
Kim Eunji felt like crying. Not because she was in pain or sothing else but because she felt like she was such a loser. Everyti she made her move, Nathan would always have a coback.
"I know, but you told you'll be quick but it took us almost an hour. That was too much Nathan!" Kim Eunji whisper yelled back at him.
"I'm sorry...Don't be mad now, okay?"
Nathan then guided Kim Eunji to their seat.
Kim Eunji saw Nathan dragged a chair. She thought it was for her but unexpectedly, Nathan sat on the chair instead.
Kim Eunji was about to drag out a chair for her to sit down but Nathan suddenly grabbed her waist making her to sit on his lap instead.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kim Eunji glared at him. They were in front of the dinning table with all the food being served in front of them.
However, instead of releasing her, Nathan's grip on her waist tightened.
Kim Eunji's eyes widened in disbelief when she felt sothing hard poking in between her butt.
'Does this man didn't know how to rest at all?' Kim Eunji thought in disbelief.
"I'm thinking that we haven't done this ever since."
What Nathan ant was feeding Kim Eunji while she's sitting on his lap.
Kim Eunji did not refute this ti as she could feel the genuine intention behind Nathan's words.
Nathan then picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of kimchi fried rice. He also fed her the soup of boiled pork ribs mixed with vegetables like fresh cabbage, potato, and yellow corn, seasoned with ginger, lemon grass, and red onion.
The recipe was sohow unfamiliar for Nathan but it was familiar with Kim Eunji. She had eaten it many tis when she travelled in the specific country in South East Asia.
"Mmm." Kim Eunji moaned in satisfaction.
"Wait, how about you. You should eat, too. Here."
With her chopsticks, Kim Eunji then picked up a piece of pork siomai and fed it to Nathan.
She also fed him with kimchi fried rice.
The dinner was harmonious and lively because of Kim Eunji's soft giggle.
Nathan was feeding her grapes when his phone rang.
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Kim Eunji asked him as it seems like Nathan had no plans to answer it.
"Nah. Don't mind it," was only his reply.
However his phone rang once again.
This ti, it was Kim Eunji who answered it.
"Hey babe." A sweet voice on the other line spoke.
"--__--"
"What's wrong?" Nathan asked as soon as he saw Kim Eunji's silence.
Nathan got the phone and then answered it.
"Speak." Nathan put it on the speaker phone this ti not minding that there were servants waiting in the dinning room.
"Master Bai, you're such a killjoy you know. I thought that since you're not with soone else for almost a month now you'll be lonely and would want to hang-out. You know. The usual place. Girls hunting."
"--__--" Kim Eunji was speechless since the voice beca that of a man.
"Hang-out with Kim Jeong Ho then. Unlike you, I'm busy." Nathan replied.
"You too?! Unbelievable!" Hua Zhang We whined like a kid on the other line.
"Hua Zhang Wei! Do you know that you have almost cause trouble tonight? Do you want to ask Master Hua to give you more tasks to do? Seems like you have a lot of ti to fool around." Nathan threatened.
"No!" Hua Zhang Wei yelled in panic.
"Nathan, I'm not stopping you from going out." Kim Eunji thought of giving Nathan the ti to hang out with his friends. She would not dare stop him from socializing. She wanted him to have a life outside their relationship. As long as Nathan knew his limitations and would not break the trust that she had given him, everything will be fine between them.
"Wait, are you with soone? I thought Master Bai was on a break...wait, why is her voice sounds familiar?" Zhang Wei said on the other line.
Aside from Mo Jing-sheng who had known their relationship because of Kelly, Hua Zhang Wei and Kim Jeong Ho had no idea about his engagent to Kim Eunji. Even Grandmother Sana and Nathan's mother i only heard the news from Rin.
"Miss Kim?" Hua Zhang Wei asked to confirm his theory.
"Did I happen to et him before?" Kim Eunji asked Nathan.
"No." Nathan denied though the two had t during Mo Jing-sheng and Kelly's wedding.
"Oie! Master Bai! What have you done to Miss Kim?! Why can't she recall ?!" Hua Zhang Wei yelled on the other line.
"You are soone unimportant for her to rember."
"Eh?!"
"Have we t before? I'm sorry, I can't rember a thing." Kim Eunji spoke.
"So it's really you Miss Kim? Oh my gosh! This is an aweso news! Satan had finally t soone who would cut his horns off."
"I guess that's a complint?" Kim Eunji asked him.
"Gosh! You two were like cats and dogs back at first brother's wedding. Who would have thought that you two would end up together? Hahahahahaha!" Hua Zhang Wei teased.
Before Hua Zhang Wei could tease them even more, Nathan had already ended the call.
"Why did you turn it off? That was rude Nathan your friend still have so things to say to you." Kim Eunji said.
"So you prefer talking and listening to him than to ?"
Kim Eunji then rolled her eyes as she spoke.
"Oh gosh! Why are you so childish?" Kim Eunji felt helpless when Nathan was acting like this.
"Childish?! Love, do you want to remind you again to not provoke ?"
"--__--" Kim Eunji inwardly face pald herself. She then thought of a way to appease the Satan now.
'No wonder he was nicknad as Satan. He's such a bully and a tyrant.' She thought.
While the two was having their sweet banters, the servants inside the dining room was giggling deep down.
This was not the first ti that they had seen Nathan as he had visited the property a couple of tis in the past.
So of the employees working in the property had been working with the past owner.
The house itself held a special place in their hearts. The previous owner was so kind to them and considered them as his family.
They were about to ask Nathan to let them stay in the property in exchange of them maintaining the cleanliness of entire property for free.
However, they did not expect that Nathan did not only let them stay, he also gave them the compensation they deserved for being the caretaker.
They knew how the story of the previous owner had ended in a tragic past and they were hoping that the next owner would not suffer the sa fate. Especially when they found out and knew Nathan's reputation. They thought that Nathan would not settle down for good in this life ti of his.
However, all of their worries vanished when Kim Eunji ca and finally the mansion finally has its first lady.
Nathan had not brought any person in the property aside from those people who had been working with him.
Witnessing their interaction was like a solid proof that the two were having a good relationship. That they chose to be together because of love and not by convenience.
They also liked and favored Kim Eunji for their master because not only she owned the features of a goddess, but also she treated them well which was also a big factor. She was soone with a good character for them.
"Seems like spring had finally co to Master." Aunt Lucy whispered to herself.
"Also, you've been calling by my na when I have been calling you love and Mrs. Bai. It's so unfair on my part. Don't you think Missus Bai?" Nathan said that brought Kim Eunji off her thoughts.
"Ah? Eh..." Kim Eunji was caught off guard.
"Call love...or hubby." Nathan hinted.
"Okay...hub-by." Kim Eunji stuttered as she decided to give in. She didn't want to know how far Nathan's childish would go.
Seems like the fearless assassin had finally found her match.
As expected, Nathan was smiling from ear to ear when Kim Eunji called him 'hubby' which was a short term for husband.
Nathan was already treating her as his wife and there's no way he would let Kim Eunji call soone that na in the future except him.
"Good girl." Nathan then patted Kim Eunji's head.
"Co, let's have our evening stroll, shall we?"
But first, with Nathan's watch, Kim Eunji then took her dication as she had forgotten to take them earlier because she thought it was already unnecessary.
After that, the two walked hand in hand towards the patio which was illuminated by a thousand led lights.
They then walked on the hallway towards the garden.
"This place is really pretty." Kim Eunji's eyes sparkled as she said that.
"Yes. It's pretty." However, Nathan was not looking at the scenery that Kim Eunji was talking about. He was looking at her. Never in his life would he expect to et soone whom he would adore so much.
Kim Eunji then turn around and to look at him but her lips twitched when she saw that Nathan was not even looking at it.
"You're not even looking at the whole place. How can you say that it's beautiful?"
Nathan then faced Kim Eunji and looked at her straight in the eye.
"You're wrong my love...I can see them too. I saw their reflection in your eyes. Besides, these flowers were nothing compared to you, you know that don't you? Now that you pointed it out..." Nathan's voice faded as he looked at the flowers in the field.
"They're indeed beautiful. They're beautiful because of you. Because you say so. And because everything that was seen by your eyes would always be beautiful."
"Nathan..."
"Eunji, before you ca, all I see is black and white. But now...everything has it's own color." Nathan then tilted his head as if he was thinking of sothing before he continued, "I think this is what the phrase 'You bring aning and color into my life' ans."
Nathan then started to recall everything that happened to him before he t Kim Eunji.
It was indeed awful and should be buried on the deepest part of his mory lane.
"Now that I think about it, I was glad that I attended first brother's wedding. Because of it, I got the chance to interact with you even if you were such a headache and so feisty towards in the past. I could not bla you though. I think you saw hitting a woman right after I rejected her love confession that's why your attitude towards was that bad."
"No...it's not like that."
"Wait, are your mories back?! Do you rember now?!" Nathan asked in excitent.
"It's not what you think. I'm really that an to people whom I don't know especially n." Kim Eunji clarified.
"Okay? So you're still in amnesia?" Nathan wanted to make sure.
"I'm still not out of the woods yet. I guess that's just my nature." Kim Eunji clarified.
"Okay?" Nathan was not sure on what to say.
"Whatever happened that night, I guess I don't have the right to pass on my judgnt. I know you have the reason for doing so. However, what you did was still wrong. But I'm glad you rejected her or else you'll not pursue anymore since you already have soone to be with."
"Love...do you know why I chose to call you love and not sothing else?"
"Why?"
"I call you love because you are the real love that I have found. You make rediscover and experience the feeling of falling in love all over again. Therefore, I would never commit unless it's you. So I would never accept her confession that night because it was not you." Nathan explained.
"And now that you love back, you didn't know how much happiness you gave . And I would never trade this happiness for sothing quick, fragile and temporary."
