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

Chapter 328 - 326: You're Still My Child

"You don't have to worry much. You'll always be my favorite sister-in-law. Nothing will change how I'll treat you today and in the future. Nathan-niichan is right. Clone or not, you're still the same for us. On the bright side, this made you become unique from us."

"The thing that made us human a human does not only limit to being gifted with rationality. The heart and conscience of a person are important, too. And you have those three, so you're not different from us." Angelina reasoned.

"Group hug!" Angelina suggested and everyone gathered around Nathan and Eunji.

Eunji felt more overwhelmed hearing their answers..

Honestly, she didn't expect much from them.

The truth was that she had underestimated the bonds she had created with these people.

"Hontoni, arigatou gozaimasu!" She uttered in between her sob.

"Oh my! Such a cry baby." Nathan remarked making everyone to chuckle and Eunji pouted cutely.

She then looked at Layla who was still unconscious on her bed.

Mei followed her gaze and she could not help but sigh.

"Let's go outside and let Layla to rest. And it's already late. I think we should go and sleep now." Mei suggested.

Eunji was reluctant to leave her mother alone but she knew that Mei was right.

She should give her mother the space to think about everything that she had told her. She would just make sure that when her mother woke up the following morning, she was already beside her.

So she left Layla's room with Nathan and the rest.

Everyone agreed that they should retire to their respective rooms.

But before that, their separation for the night had become emotional.

"Thank you for listening and not judging me." Eunji told Angelina.

"Omo! Don't start crying or I'll be crying, too." Angelina warned.

"I'm not crying. You are!" Eunji refuted her.

The two then chuckled and Angelina hugged her tight.

"I'll be here if you need me, okay? Goodnight." Angelina warmly said.

Angelina bid her goodbye and went to her room to sleep with her daughter.

Mei and Grandma Sana went to their room, too.

Meanwhile, Celine and Sam was also reluctant to bid goodnight to Eunji and Nathan. Especially the latter.

"We'll talk more tomorrow, okay?" Celine told Eunji.

"Okay." Eunji smiled warmly when Celine hugged her for comfort.

"Goodnight." Celine uttered.

Sam also tapped Eunji's shoulder and gave her a side hug.

"This might be hard to do but don't think too much. Everything will be fine." Sam said.

"Thank you."

The duo then left living Nathan and Eunji alone in the corridor.

"Do you want to grab some ice cream?" Nathan asked her.

He knew that Eunji was having a hard time and the only thing that could comfort her is eating ice cream.

Eunji nodded slightly.

"Can we check on the kids first?" She asked.

"Sure."

The couple entered inside the room where their four angels were sleeping soundly on top of the king-sized bed.

"Can we sleep with them tonight?"

There was still enough space for them if they would sleep horizontally on the bed rather than the normal position.

Nathan, being a wife-pampering husband, only nodded his head and agreed to her request.

"Thank you."

The couple slowly went out of the room and headed to the kitchen so she could have her ice cream.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Celine and Sam were also there.

"Trouble with sleeping?" Celine immediately asked when they saw Nathan and Eunji walking-in.

"My wife needs her ice cream." Nathan answered for Eunji.

"Really? Now I know where the boys got their addiction with ice cream." Celine commented.

"Yeah. I love ice cream. Good thing I'm not allergic to cold." She said.

Then that would be very terrible for her.

"How about you, Yuki-neechan? What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I kinda got hungry after being emotional earlier.

Eunji looked at the time and it was almost twelve midnight.

Sam was cooking ramen for her and Celine.

"I'm always like this after coming from a very emotional situation. This is how I cope up with that."

Nathan then lead Eunji to sit on the bar stool while he went to grab a bowl and walked to the freezer to get her favorite milk ice cream.

"So every time you shoot a very emotional scene, you would look for food right after? Is that what you're trying to say?" Eunji asked.

"Yes. I need my carbs or I'll pass out of exhaustion. Good thing I am born to have a skinny body." She said.

"Good thing Sam is with you always. She's a life saver then."

With Celine talking to her, she was momentarily distracted with the thoughts running inside her head.

When Nathan was done scooping her ice cream, he then gently handed it to her.

"Here, my love." Nathan said.

Celine and Sam tried to ignore how sweet he was to his wife.

"Thank you." She softly spoke.

"It's been so long since you called me that, Hubby." Eunji sincerely said.

"So do you want to change our pet name now?" Nathan asked as he sat down on the stool beside her.

"Nope. Hubby and Wifey are still cute." She said.

"Okay."

Eunji then scooped a spoon and shove the ice cream in her mouth.

Sam and Celine decided to stay quiet while putting the ramen in the bowl.

"Hubby, she's Silver, right?" Eunji asked Nathan not minding even though Celine and Sam was still around.

"Yes." Nathan honestly answered.

"What did she tell you?" She asked him.

"Well, she wanted me to leave you. But I told her that I wouldn't." He honestly answered.

"Oh. That's already expected." She mumbled.

Eunji then sighed and looked at Nathan.

"Did you clear the misunderstandings you both had?"

"We did. I told her my side and she told hers. I could see her broken-hearted expression upon realizing that she was made to believe in a lie." Nathan played with Eunji's hand while talking to her.

"I see." Eunji really felt sorry for Ana.

"She must have said she still love you, right?" Eunji asked him.

Upon hearing this, Celine spat the noodles she was eating.

"What's going on?"

"It's a long story and I don't like to start explaining." Nathan immediately said.

"Wait, you're telling me that she and Niichan was a thing back then? Niichan!" Celine asked in disappointment.

"It's not what you think. If fate didn't mess up our lives back then, there's a greater possibility that your sister-in-law would be Ana and not me."

"What?!" Celine exclaimed in shock.

"Oh, wow!" Even Sam was shocked to hear this, too.

"Can we not mention about this? Things happened that we could not control. Ana and I are clearly not meant to be for each other. That's the simple explanation to that." Nathan said as he really wanted to close this topic so they could finally move on.

"It's not really his fault why things had become like this." Eunji defended her husband.

"He's a victim of this story, too." She added.

"Fine! I won't nag you for this, Niichan. But better treat my dearest sister-in-law from now on or I'll support her should she want to leave you, for good!"

"Not a chance! That's not going to happen!" He firmly said and Eunji just smiled warmly at him.

Nathan then sighed as he answered Eunji's previous question.

"She didn't say it but deep down, I know she still did." Nathan honestly answered.

"You can slap me for hurting your sister if you want to. However, even if you'll push me towards her, I won't go back. I'll stick around with you like a puppy." He said.

"Silly! Why should I? And why should I let her have you? You're bound to be mine." She possessively claimed him.

"That's my girl!" Nathan beamed with happiness.

"I know she's hurting now but I'll selfishly claim you as mine unless you have decided otherwise." Eunji said.

It'll be silly to give up on a love when the other person was fighting for it, too.

"No! I will never have a change of mind, Wifey. Upon knowing of who you really are, nothing has changed. The only thing that change is that my love for you had gotten even deeper." Nathan said.

"Sigh. I don't know anymore. I really wanted things between my sister and I to go back how it was before." She said.

That's the least thing that she could do for Ana and Layla.

"Your sister still cared about you so much despite fact that she was doing this to you." Nathan also said.

There's still hope for the two to reconcile.

"I know. The last time we talked I could sense that she still cared about me despite her tough facade. And that's what I'm holding on now. I'm betting to it." Eunji said then shove another scoop on her mouth.

"Did she tell you something?" Eunji curiously asked.

"No, unfortunately, she didn't." Nathan said which was obviously a big lie.

Ana did tell him something. And he wondered if Eunji already had an idea about it.

"So, what's your plan now?" Nathan asked.

"Well first, I have to make sure that Eomma is okay when she woke up tomorrow." Eunji then heaved a big sigh before she continued.

"After here, I'll go to Beijing with you to start my clean up plan." Eunji didn't hide that from the other three people in the room.

"The sooner I put an end to this, the better. I'll also try to convince Unnie to comeback with me so she could reunite with Eomma. I have a feeling that she was still being controlled all this time. I have a bad feeling that she's in danger, too."

Nathan could only look at her and decided to be silent. If he would say a thing or two about it, he knew that Eunji would suspect him.

"Are you saying that you'll get revenge? Isn't it dangerous?" Celine could not help but ask.

"Don't worry, Yuki-niichan, I have been playing with life and death my whole life. Nothing could faze me now. The only thing that worries me the most are your securities. The kids, you and every people who had gotten involved with me."

She knew that they would come at them to hurt her.

That'w why as an assassin, being emotional equates to death.

Showing an emotion means directly giving your opponent the dagger that would kill you.

"Don't worry about me, too. I'm already used to those assassination attempts even before I joined the entertainment industry." Celine said.

"Do you know why I strive to be the best actress of my generation?" She asked Eunji.

"Because the more I'll be known with a lot of people, the more that there will be people who would look for me should I vanish all of a sudden. I got the chance to interact with people who vowed to protect me in exchange of working for them."

Celine then shrugged her shoulder as she continued, "But of course, there's no better protector than my own brother, Nathan."

Of course she didn't forget to show her gratefulness to Nathan.

"I know. But it's better to be safe than sorry. They're not ordinary people after all." Eunji still warned.

She gasped when she realized that she had already finished eating her ice cream.

She then suddenly yawned as sleepiness hit her.

The couple bid them goodnight again before they walked towards their room to freshen up and changed into their pajamas first before they moved to their children's room.

That night, Eunji barely had sleep as her ears were trying to listen to everything that's happening to Layla's room.

In the end, she woke up with heavy eye bags in the morning when she woke up.

She left Nathan and her kids who were still sleeping on the bed and went into her mother's room.

The sun had not shown its mighty rays yet when she went out of their room.

As she went closer to the door, she could hear someone sniffing inside.

When she went in, she saw Layla silently crying.

Eunji was hesitant to approach her at first but Layla looked up and spread her arms upon seeing her.

Layla wanted to have a hug and she's not greedy to not give it to her.

"Eomma!" Eunji immediately cried as she could not hold back her emotions.

"Shh! Don't cry. I'm sorry okay?" Layla said while she was sobbing, too.

Eunji immediately let go of the hug and looked at her mother in disbelief and worry.

"Don't be Eomma. It's not your fault." She immediately said.

Layla's reaction last night was understandable.

"No, I feel bad for leaving you like that. I'm sorry child if I made you worried." Layla insisted.

"For me, you're still my Eve. You're still my child. Forever my little child, okay." Layla continued.

"Yes, Eomma!" Eunji said in both relief and happiness.
