Chapter 291 - 290: Morning Before The Confrontation
The following morning, Eunji woke up because she felt the strong urge to pee. She wanted to get up immediately and ran towards the toilet but she felt something heavy was on her waist preventing her to move.
She then looked down and realized that it was Nathan\'s arm which was tightly holding her tightly.
She then looked at the sleeping man beside her and she sighed when she felt her body aching all over. It was like ten elephants had ran into her.
And again, they didn\'t use any protection! She just hoped and pray that she won\'t get pregnant after this. Well she really hoped so.
But just to make sure, she booked an appointment to a local OB-GYN who could give her prescription on what family planning pills should she use.
There\'s no way she could ask Nathan to control himself because this man was very wild in bed.
She then slowly lifted up Nathan\'s arms and she carefully left the bed wearing her satin night gown. Nathan had helped her in wearing this after when she was already worn out from their intense love making.
She then looked for her phone on the bedside table and walked towards the bathroom while limping. After she got inside, she then locked the door behind her and looked at her face in the mirror.
She sighed when she saw herself covered with another batch of fresh kiss marks. The bite marks that Nathan had left on the other night was also starting to form a scar. An indication that it was in the healing process.
She then called Angelina and ask her to buy the after morning pill and then personally deliver it to her here.
There\'s no need for her to know the location since Alora could lead them the way.
After she was done, she then washed her face, brushed her teeth and then she got out of the bathroom and walked towards her walk-in closet.
She then decided to choose a more comfortable clothes. She wore her knitted pull over top and her short shorts which accentuated her slender and long legs which was so flawless and very sexy.
She then tied her hair into a messy bun and she covered the visible kissmarks with concealer.
After she was done, she went out of their room and walked towards the kitchen.
She smiled when she saw Marco drinking his freshly brewed coffee.
"Good morning!" She greeted him.
Marco who was drinking his coffee calmly became startled when he heard his lady boss behind him.
He then immediately stood up and greeted her.
"Good morning Lady Boss!" He greeted her politely.
"How\'s your sleep? Did you sleep well upstairs?" She asked. Marco decided to sleep on the cabin upstairs. Eunji showed him the secret passage going up top so that he didn\'t have to use the cave in going in and out of the underground.
"My sleep is really good, Lady Boss." He said but Eunji chuckled because she could tell that he was lying.
The dark circles around his eyes was the proof of that.
"Make sure to not let your Master Boss sees that ugly dark circles or he would surely tease you even more." She said.
"I will listen to your advice Lady Boss." Marco said.
"Geez! We\'re not in the office. You can talk to me casually. I would really be offended if you would still talk to me formally. I did look at you like my brother, did I not?" She told him.
"I\'m really grateful to know that you treat me like your brother. However, I am Master\'s subordinate. So I should know my place in this household. So please let me address you like how a subject should address the master." He stubbornly pleaded.
"Fine. I\'ll let you do what you wanted." She said with a pout making Marco to look down.
\'Mistress, if Master will see you pouting like that to me, he might make my leave to one year. So please have pity on me!\' He pleaded on his mind.
"Are you okay?" She suddenly asked when she saw Marco having a troubled expression.
"Yes Mistress! I am fine." He then drank his coffee in one go and then he stood up from his seat and continued.
"I might as well go outside. I\'ll check the perimeter." He said.
Eunji didn\'t stop him as she knew he didn\'t want to be in trouble.
"Okay. I\'ll make breakfast. You can come down if you\'re hungry. And make sure to be ready. We will leave before lunch."
"I understand Lady Boss." He said and excused himself.
Eunji then started looking for the apron and wrapped it around her body.
Since they didn\'t have house maid with them, Eunji had to do all the housework while they were staying here.
She then started preparing for breakfast.
She was going to make a waffle for Nathan and Marco\'s breakfast while she prepared a nutrients packed fruit shake for herself.
While she was cooking the waffle on the waffle pan, she then started brewing Nathan\'s coffee.
She also cut some fresh fruits for Nathan to eat and she prepared a bowl of whip cream for the fruits.
When she was done preparing for breakfast, she then placed it on the counter and walked towards their room to wake Nathan.
She could hear from their room that he was already awake so she decided to wait for him while she sat on the stool and drank her fruit shake.
Minutes later, Nathan came down and entered the kitchen and then wrapped his long arms around her waist as he kissed her cheek.
"Good morning." He greeted in his hoarse voice.
"Good morning! Come let\'s have breakfast." She greeted him back and invited him to sit on the stool beside her but Nathan had suddenly become a clingy giant koala who didn\'t want to let go of her.
"Smells nice and they looked delicious, too." He commented as he looked on the well presented food in front of them.
"But you smells nicer and more delicious too. I wouldn\'t mind having you first for breakfast." He teased making Eunji\'s cheeks to have a reddish tint.
"Shut up! It\'s still seven in the morning, hubby!" Eunji bashed him while pinching the tip of his ear.
"Aw! So what if it\'s still morning! We\'re completely alone here. I could send Marco to do a quick errand for me if you\'re afraid he might barge in. And besides, you wake up early. Did I not tire you enough last night? Or did you not sleep?" He asked her while burying his face on her neck while he continued smelling her fragrance making Eunji\'s face to turn red.
"Ahm...I was wakened by my urge to pee. And after that, I could not go back to sleep so I decided to go out and make for our breakfast. Two hours is fine than not sleeping at all." She said making Nathan to frown.
"I\'m sorry about that Wifey. I just misses you so much that\'s why I could not hold back myself." He tried to explain.
"It\'s okay. I understand but hubby, I think we should talk about our family planning." She decided to open up the topic hoping that he could understand where she was coming from.
And she felt sad when Nathan unwrapped his arms around her and just stood still as he waited for her next statement.
Eunji then turned herself around to meet his gaze. Placing her empty cup on the counter top, she sighed when she saw the complicated feelings on Nathan\'s eyes.
"I\'m sorry. I didn\'t give this important topic a thought." He said in a sad tone as he moved towards the stool and sit down.
"It\'s okay. I\'m sorry if I ruined the mood let\'s continue about this later after breakfast, okay?" She tried to console him.
"Okay." Nathan said with a smile but she knew he was sad about it.
The breakfast had become silent but Nathan made sure that his wife won\'t feel bad about it. It was his fault for forgetting about this very important matter.
She was right. Getting pregnant at this time would never be ideal. The enemies were still there in the open and when given the chance, they would surely hurt them.
The risks were there.
"Anyways, I just realized that you are not wearing your eye glasses are your eyes okay now?" Nathan asked her.
"A few days after I woke up from that accident, I suddenly lost my eyesight. Master Liu found out that a blood clot had been blocking my optic nerves. So he helped me in clearing out the clotting. Even my left eye which had been very sensitive since this was transplanted years ago had also became okay, too."
Now she didn\'t have to trouble herself on wearing those specs.
"That\'s great to hear, wifey. I though you looked cute with those eye glasses, I like it better without them." He praised her beauty.
After he was done eating his breakfast, Nathan and Eunji walked back to their room so they could talk in private.
"I\'m sorry for failing to think about that. Your past accident must have been very traumatizing for you. And I failed to acknowledge that." He said.
"Yeah. It\'s very traumatizing. But it\'s okay. Now that you know what I wanted, I hope you\'ll give me time, too. Let\'s try to conceive again when everything\'s okay. Okay? And besides, the kids are still so young to have another younger siblings. I also want to bond with my boys. And with little Eve, too." Eunji didn\'t hide her feelings about it.
"So you meet her, too?" He asked her.
"Not yet. She was sleeping when I saw her the other day." She honestly said.
"I guess you also figured out thatshe\'s our child." Nathan told her.
"Yes. I just found out when I saw her face the last time I went to sneak in Li Wei\'s hospital room back in Paris. I was about to leave when Mom passed by carrying her and I happened to see her face. So I investigated and found out the truth. I\'m sorry." She then later apologized about finding it out later.
"It\'s okay. Honestly, I was a horrible dad to her. I was not there when she was born in this world. I could not bear to see her even if she is my child. I was even ready to give her up for adoption...I blamed the child for your death and I don\'t know if I could be a good father to her."
Eunji frowned when she heard that from Nathan. Nathan on the other hand knew that what he had done was very disappointing but he decided to continue talking. Eunji deserved to hear this story after all.
"One day, An Qi sent me a photo while I was on a business trip and when I opened it I immediately regretted what I had done to her." He then took out his phone and let his wife to see the photo that An Qi had sent to him that day.
"She looked just like you, right? She resembled Li Wei now though." He continued talking as he watched Eunji caressing the screen of his phone while looking at little Eve\'s baby photo.
Eunji on the other hand felt regret for knowing her other daughter later than sooner.
"When I saw that for the first time, I immediately went back home to meet her and apologize for what I had done. And my heart melted as she smiled and held my pinky finger as if telling me that she had forgiven me." He could not help not to be emotional as he recalled that touching scene.
\'Yeah. She looked like Li Wei.\' She agreed in her thought.
"She even smiled brighter when I named her after you. I blamed her existence for your death but in reality, she gave me another reason to strive more to be a good father to her and her older brothers. She got your charms Wifey." He proudly said.
A beautiful smile plastered on her now teary face.
"Mm. And I think you would have a hard time guarding her against her potential suitors in the future." Eunji said making Nathan to frown.
\'Especially when you found out that you have to guard two daughters in the future.\' She continued in her thought.
"No! She\'ll be forever my princess. I won\'t let her to marry another family\'s child!" His demeanor changed immediately.
"But girls are destined to be married to another family you know." Eunji said as she tried to tease her husband whom she thought had a daughter complex.
"No! Not in our family! Only the boys can!" He firmly said.
"Hubby are you listening to yourself? Do you want her to grow old alone? She will be lonely." She continued her teasing.
"Why should she be lonely?! I\'m here, her dad. Am I not enough?" He asked her.
"But you can\'t accompany her until she grow old. And besides, she had the right to start her own family in the future." She reasoned.
And Nathan felt complicated with it. His wife was right. He could not stay with her forever. He had to let her be with the person she had chosen to be with.
But that thought alone made him conflicted.
What if she met a bad boy. A play boy who would only want to play with her heart and hurt her? He could not allow that to happen. Never!
Eunji smiled when she saw Nathan\'s troubled face.
"Don\'t think too much about it. Let\'s continue talking about this when she\'s on the right age." She tried to console him.
"Yeah."
"Geez! We already went off the topic already but I don\'t mind. It\'s fun to talk about our kids."
"I agree with you Wifey. That\'s why I feel that we should add two or three more. What do you think?" He asked making Eunji to gasp.
"Nathan! I\'m already twenty seven this year. If we\'ll follow your plan, I will stop giving birth at forty." She said.
"What if our next pregnancy would become twins or triplets again. Then you can rest early. And you\'ll have more time to take good care of the kids." He told her with a confident smile.
After all, it\'s not impossible to happen.
"I\'m okay with having triplets again but you should be carrying them for nine months." She teased him.
They may be teasing each other about it now but in the near future Eunji got pregnant again and it was another set of triplets. Her pregnancy was very risky that An Qi advised Eunji to have tubal ligation on both fallopian tubes to prevent them from conceiving again.
The couple ended having seven children together.
And of course this was on the latter part of the story.
