The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

Chapter 277 - 276: Back To The Place Where Everything Had Started In Beijing

After dinner, Nathan brought the kids to this ice cream shop where in they could enjoy their favorite ice cream flavors.

Nathan had booked the entire place and had placed the road going onto this area be on look down. This was to prevent other people from seeing his children while they were with him.

As mentioned, every time Celine and Mei would bring them to shopping on a mall, the adults would be in disguise and the kids would be wearing hats or cute shades to hide their face.

And mostly, they would talk to the manager before they would come as they already briefed them on what to do when they visited a certain store.

The mall manager had to temporarily shut the area were they were to prevent other malicious and curious people from seeing the kid's appearance.

If it's unavoidable, they would ban those people from taking photographs of the kids or make them sign an NDA. It's up to Nathan's people to track them down one by one.

Just like earlier, many routes going to the Arts Center were being blocked for 'maintenance' making it easier for them to control the vehicles going and leaving the area.

***Inside the empty ice cream shop...

Nathan ignored Ana while they were inside the shop. His attention where on the three kids who were having fun eating the cold gelato.

Mei and Celine looked at each other and then observed them.

They both knew they had to do something to protect the secret that they had just found out.

They looked at Li Jun who was the only kid who was talking to Ana. Well, he had been more active in talking to Ana even before Eunji came and introduced herself as their real mother.

Perhaps he was just friendly and sociable.

Celine smiled proudly as he looked at Li Jun.

He was so good at acting as if he had not learn a big revelation today.

If he was another kid, knowing that someone had impersonated your mother, he might make a fuss and would even directly blow the truth that he knew to the person.

Li Wei who had been silent had also started to interact a little to her, too.

Maybe children had their own ways on how to handle a situation compared to the adults.

Maybe children had this insight that unless they were not hurt then the person they were talking to was a good person.

Li Wei thought so too. But he was just so sure that she was not his real mother, which he had proven right earlier.

He was worried that when her mother showed up, the latter would think that he had replaced her in his heart and life.

So...as much as possible, he wanted to distant himself to the woman who claimed herself as their mother.

And upon knowing that she's actually a relative, Li Wei and Li Jun now knew how to treat her better.

"Eunji, don't you like ice cream?" Celine asked.

"I do. But I'm not feeling well today." She reasoned.

"Can I ask a glass of warm water please?" She asked the staff of the ice cream shop.

"Are you okay?" Mei sincerely asked her.

"Yes. Mom, I'm fine. Just having a sore throat. But this will go away." She explained together with a smile.

"Are you sure?" She followed up.

"Yes. How's the ice cream baby?" She asked Evelien.

"Good!" She answered.

Deep down, she inwardly cursed as of all traits that they could inherit from Eunji was her fondness of ice cream.

She hated ice cream. Matter of fact, she's allergic to it!

Ice cream have milk...the ingredient that triggered her allergy.

She hoped that they believed her excuse for now.

As she looked at them, they looked like they had bought it making her to heave a sigh of relief.

Nathan's phone suddenly rang which was in Tang Hao's position.

Tang Hao moved forward and handed the phone to his boss.

Upon receiving, Nathan looked at the caller and frowned when he saw who it was.

He then uttered an excuse to them as he would be answering the phone call outside.

"Go ahead son. They're still not done with their gelato (ice cream) anyways." Mei said as she shoved a spoon on her mouth.

Nathan walked out with Tang Hao tailing behind him.

Meanwhile, Mei sighed as she didn't know if she had to tell this to Sana, too. But Eunji told them to not tell this secret to the others yet.

Well, as much as she wanted to inform her mom, the real Eunji had the right to reveal the truth to everyone.

Their main job now was to make sure that her grandchildren were not hurt and were okay while she (the fake Eunji) was around with them.

Outside, Nathan was frowning when he received the news that someone had hacked their system at Bai Corp.

Fortunately, no data was lost or being stolen. But the hacker had sent a message and was being displayed on the selective units of their computer screen.

And the message being sent was 'Meet me to the place where it all started in Beijing.'

Now his IT Technicians were having a hard time to regain control on their system from this anonymous hacker.

"Is there any changes from the other party's end?" He asked coldly.

"No changes yet, Master Bai."

"Okay. Can you communicate with the hacker?"

"Yes. But I have no idea on what to respond with this message." His head IT technician spoke.

"Type in 'okay'." He instructed and the guy on the other line followed.

"Done! What's next Master?"

"Wait for the reply."

"It said 'I'm waiting for you. Twenty minutes. Or I'll blow up your system.' Damn! Is this person serious? Master, Don't go! I think it's a trap."

"It is not for you to decide whether I should go there or not. Do your job! Wait for that person's further instruction and report it to me." He instructed coldly.

"Are you alone in the server control room?" He asked.

"No! I have two assistants with me." The man answered on the other line.

"Okay. Lock the door and don't tell anyone of what is happening inside the room unless I say so. Whoever this hacker is, he won't give you trouble as soon as I get there. Understood?" He sternly reminded them.

"Okay Master!" He said.

Nathan then looked at Tang Hao and said, "Drive my family safely back to the mansion when they're done."

He then called Derek and Darren to come to the ice cream shop for his family's added protection.

He had already hired enough men to guard them. Most of them were hiding incognito so the kids and her mother, Mei who was still not used to this lifestyle, won't be intimidated by them.

The kids were still not so good with strangers. And letting them be surrounded with body guards most of the time would make the kids be anxious.

The only people they recognized as their guards were their uncle Derek and Darren.

Today was supposed to be the twin's day off.

But upon receiving their boss' call, they immediately dropped everything that they were doing and answered to Nathan's request.

The first person to arrive was Darren. He came five minutes after. He was already on the highway when he received Nathan's call.

He was ridding his Ducati like a boss when he arrived.

"Boss!" He greeted Nathan as soon as he embarked from his big bike.

"Guard my family and send them home safely to the mansion. Tang Hao will be driving for them. Call me if something was unusual while you're on the way." Nathan said as he walked near the door.

He then opened it and walked faster towards his family to bid them goodbye.

"Okay Boss!" He said as he remained outside as he waited for Derek.

"Is everything okay?" Ana asked with a worried face.

"Yes." Nathan answered her flatly.

"Mom, Yuki. I have to go. Something came up in the office. Tang Hao will drive you home. Derek and Darren will be coming over, too." He told his sister and mother.

"Daddy? Are we leaving?" Li Jun asked his dad.

"No, Aoi. Daddy has to go first." Nathan's voice softened as he looked down and saw the three pair of eyes innocently looking up at him.

So he stoop down so they won't be looking up at him while having this conversation.

"Why Daddy?" Li Wei asked him this time.

"Something unexpectedly came up in the company that I need to be there." He softly explained to them.

"Okay? Will you be okay Dad?" Li Jun asked making Nathan to smile.

"Of course son! I'll be fine. So go home after you finish your ice cream okay? Behave while I am away. Listen to your elders. Brush your teeth before you go to sleep." He reminded them.

"Okay Daddy!" The kids said in unison.

"Take care Daddy! Have fun!" Little Evelien said. Maybe she was trying to cheer up her dad.

Nathan carried her in his arms and gave her a goodbye kiss first.

Then he did the same thing to his boys.

He then looked towards the woman who looked like Eunji and said, "Take care of the kids while I am away. They like to read story books before they go to bed. Take care of yourself." He then looked away.

"I will. Take care." Ana said with a sincere tone making Celine to think if she was really sincere or she was only faking it.

That was his last words for her before he left the ice cream shop.

So far, that was the longest statement that he had said to her.

He didn't want to look like a bad husband by treating her like that but he could not bring himself to treat her like how he used to treat his wife.

He just don't feel right being around with her.

He had done an investigation of her disappearance. More like checking if she was lying or not. Unfortunately, he could not find any loophole in the reports which had supported her claims.

So did that mean she was indeed his wife?

Maybe the feeling he had for her was gone after he painfully learned that she died almost two years ago.

That was bullshit! His feelings for his wife never faded. He could still feel his heart skipped a beat every time he recalled his wife's memories inside his mind.

But when he looked at her now, those feelings were gone.

That feeling didn't exist when he looked at her at all.

And besides, her actions kind of already gave her away. He didn't believe her when she said she was not feeling well and decline eating ice cream. Eunji in the past would demand eating one even if she was having a cold and a fever.

So, he concluded that she was not his wife even if he could not yet find the conclusive evidence to support his claims.

But he won't stop to get answers. He deserved to know after all.

Seeing that Nathan was in a hurry, Darren lend him his Ducati.

Nathan grabbed the offer as he only had ten minutes left from the deadline.

He put on his earpiece and connected to his head IT technician so they could communicate while he was on the way to the meeting location.

"Hello."

"Master."

"Is there any changes." Nathan asked.

"There's a timer flashing the screen at the moment."

"How much time do I have left?"

"Ten minutes." The man replied making Nathan's brow to raise.

Then if that's the case, he was also tracking his location. He was already on the highway for three minutes now.

Which means the timer stopped when he got inside and bid them goodbye.

"Okay. Be on stand by."

Nathan then saw the QPRC building not far away and he increased his speed as he gotten closer.

He made a quick stop for security and the person on the other line said that the timer had stopped.

Nathan then drove off to the basement parking to park the motorcycle.

He placed the helmet in place and then he used his phone GPS to see which exit he should take that would bring him faster to that place.

As what he could recall, it was near the casino.

As he got the proper direction, Nathan dashed towards the exit.

"Four minutes left!"

"I know." Nathan said while he was running.

When he was finally outside the building, he looked around to see if he got it right.

He heaved a sigh when he confirmed that he was.

He was panting...as he was catching for his breath.

"I'm here." He spoke.

"The timer had stopped Master. Do you find any person in that place? Maybe it's a trap, Master." He said in a worried tone.

While his subordinate was blabbering on the other line, Nathan heard footsteps coming towards him.

When he turned around to check on who that person was, he sighed when he saw that it was a woman.

But...

The woman was wearing a ghost mask.

"Who are you?" He asked.

The sudden familiar feeling slowly crept in his heart.

The woman didn't move nor speak for a while.

It was like they were in a dead end.

Both parties were waiting for each other to make the move. He had already ended the call.

Nathan was looking at her with his heart bouncing out of his rib cage not because he was afraid of her but because he was anticipating for her to reveal her identity.

After waiting for like eternity, the woman then removed the ghost mask.

And when she did, Nathan's eyes widened in shock and that shock was replaced with tears.

He looked at the woman whose face was already covered with tears.

"Eunji?!"

"Hi, Nathan..."
