The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her
Chapter 217 - 216: Because Of EunjiNathan and Eunji dressed into their matching Christmas cardigan.
Everyone started arriving at six in the evening. Dinner will start at seven so there's still plenty of time left.
The old Mo couple immediately hugged Eunji and Nathan and asked of how she was during this pregnancy.
Nathan and the gentlemen went into the study to talk about something else while the ladies were gathered around the living room to talk about ladies stuff.
Eunji was only listening to them especially since they were only talking about the gossip around their circle.
Then their talk turned back to Eunji.
"Child, how's Nathan to you?" Madame Mo asked Eunji.
"Nathan had been so good to me Mom. He's the sweetest husband I could ever ask for." Eunji's eyes sparkled when she talked about Nathan to them.
"I see. I'm so excited to meet the twins. They'd be the cutest ever." Madame Mo told her.
"Actually, they're triplets." Eunji shyly told everyone in the room making them speechless.
"What?!"
"Oh my gosh! How come you only tell us just now!" Madame Mo said while placing her hand on her chest feeling hurt.
"I'm sorry. I thought their numbers won't matter until now." She said in an apologetic tone.
"Wow! Nathan was indeed hardworking. No wonder your stomach was much bigger than the average four month old stomach." Madame Mo said.
"Hahahahaha! It just so happen that twins and triplets run in our family. From my father down to my sister and I. Nathan also told me that Yuki and him were actually part of a trio."
"Yeah." They then turned their attention to Mei who was now assisting Sana in going to the living room.
"This lady's womb was indeed blessed by the heavens for producing three child in one go." Madame Mo spoke as she looked at Mei.
"Is that a compliment?" Mei retorted.
"Yes! It's a compliment." They then stand up to welcome grandma Sana.
"Aunty! You're getting younger these days! May I know your secret?" Madame Mo asked Grandma Sana.
"You silly child! You're always fond of teasing me!" Grandma Sana said while pinching Madame Mo's side.
"No! You really looked blooming these days compared to the last time I saw you."
"Well, I guess because I am recovering well from my illness. It all thanks to Eunji and her Master, Master Liu." Grandma Sana confessed.
"Indeed! We're so lucky to have Eunji with us. That Nathan brat is indeed lucky to have Eunji as his wife. And we should be thankful to our Kelly for making it possible." Madame Mo didn't forget to thank Kelly as if not for her, the chances of Nathan and Eunji crossing path once again would be smaller.
"Nah. I didn't do anything. It's just that I believed they were already destined to be together from the very beginning, so I won't take the credits." Kelly said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"You are right."
"*Sigh!* Can't you guys feel it? We're really old now. In a few years, those anti-aging product that I'm using won't stop my wrinkled skin from showing." Madame Mo sounded depressed.
"Mom, don't be overdramatic. It will still take time for that to happen. You've been taking good care of your skin so I know you'll still be doing great for the next ten to fifteen years." Kelly tried her best to comfort her mother-in-law.
"Your daughter-in-law's right, Jia. We're going to be fine." Mei told her friend.
They talked other things again and this time it was related to other matters.
"Eunji? I happen to see Derek at the hospital earlier, what happened?" Madame Mo asked Eunji.
"Nothing, maybe he had an upset stomach so he went to see a doctor." Eunji said while placing back her tea cup on the saucer.
Then Butler David or Li Jie entered the living room with Alice and Iris following behind him.
Eunji stood up to welcome the couple.
Alice was wearing a dress and jacket underneath her trench coat while Iris was wearing a turtleneck top, jeans, winter cardigan and winter jacket.
Both were wearing gloves and thick scarves because it was freezing cold outside.
"Alice! Iris!" Eunji called.
"EL!"
"Eunji!"
The two greeted Eunji and gave her a hug after Aunt Lucy helped her with their jackets.
"I'm sorry we arrived late." Iris told Eunji.
"No. It's okay, both of you are not late at all. The girls were not here yet. And also the others. I'm sorry, I invited them." Eunji apologized.
"It's okay. Before everything had messed up, we've been a good team." Alice reassured Eunji.
"Ladies. Why don't you join us here!" Mei called them.
Iris and Alice walked and greeted the Mei and the rest.
This was not the first time that they had met so far. Also, these Madames knew them as Eunji's friends but these two had been so shy to be in the same table as them.
So this would be the first time that they would be talking.
"Alice!" Kelly greeted her and giggled when their baby bump touched when they attempted to hug.
"Mis- Kelly." Alice corrected herself.
"Look at you! I thought you have already forgotten what I have told you." Alice slightly scolded her.
They then sat down on the couch so they could talk properly.
Iris was also pulled by Eunji as she wanted to ask her of how's their situation as a young couple expecting a baby.
Their set-up was a bit complicated since there's Magnus on the picture.
"So, how are you both?" Eunji didn't beat around the bush.
"I'm doing fine. School had been amazing and Alice's pregnancy has been doing fine except from the fact that she's easy to get anxious and emotional." Iris told Eunji but her eyes had been fixed to Alice who had been laughing and smiling to Kelly, Madame Mo, and Madame Hua on the opposite couch.
"I see. You really love her, huh." Eunji teased the younger.
Before Iris could answer her, Eunji's eyes was caught by the shining diamond ring on Iris' finger.
"Oh my gosh!" Eunji scoffed in surprise which caught the other's attention.
Iris looked down as she tried to hide her red face.
"Did she just proposed to you? I thought you're the top in this relationship." Eunji teasingly remarked.
Alice saw her fiancé's face so she decided to save her.
Eunji saw this so she moved to the side to give her space.
"Stop teasing my Iris, EL. Can't you see she's shy?" Alice said in a teasing tone.
"You're no different than her babe." Iris whined.
"It's because you're so cute when you're embarrassed." Alice said truthfully.
"Careful, our daughter might look like me more than yours." Iris warned her.
"Nah, I don't mind. You're her other Mommy anyways."
"Awe! Sweet!" The Madames teased the two making them both shy about it.
They were glad that these group never judged their preferences towards their partner.
"So, when did you propose?" Kelly could not help but join in the conversation, too.
"Earlier." Alice replied shortly.
"She was choosing for an outfit to wear and we were casually talking until it got serious then she suddenly asked me. I thought it was a prank as we agreed that I'll propose to her but I didn't know she already had this ring hidden in her drawer. And I just love her so much that I could not have the heart to reject her proposal." Iris narrated.
"Oh! I never thought you got that cleverness Alice. That's the most casual proposal I have ever heard!" Kelly teased Alice like a big sister would do to her younger sister.
"Kel, of course romantic set-ups for proposals are the ideal ones but I guess a casual or unplanned proposal is quite romantic, too. As long as love was the reason of the proposal and the reason why you said yes, then it is more than enough to be romantic." Eunji answered for Alice as she herself had an unusual proposal from Nathan if that would be counted as one.
Everyone in the room agreed to Eunji.
"I thought it would be Iris whose going to propose to you and not the other way around?" Eunji asked Alice this time.
"Nah, if we'll follow her plan, I guess our daughter will be already five years old when she'll pop the question."
"No, it's not!" Iris tried to defend herself but Alice didn't allow her.
Alice came from a well-off family and she's afraid that she might not be able to provide for her needs if she'd only rely on her salary at KSA.
Her salary's okay. Four times higher than the regular nine to five jobs since she had a higher rank in the agency.
But with a baby, she's sure it's no longer enough for them.
So she wanted to finish her education so she could start her own company in the future hopefully.
Eunji knew about Iris' worries that's why she's willing to help her.
"Iris is just so amazing that I could not wait to just tie her to me. She's selfless and accepted me despite with my complicated situation. She's the one for me." Alice sweetly said while looking at Iris' eyes.
"Stop it! You only make me to miss my hubby." Eunji said softly.
"Gosh Eunjiyah! For someone who had been acting cold and aloof to people in the past, I never thought you'd be clingy this clingy to brother-in-law." Kelly teased making Eunji who would blush easily turned beet red.
"As if you're not clingy enough to brother-in-law." Eunji mumbled.
"So, shall we plan the wedding?" Madame Mo who was always excited when it comes to weddings finally spoke.
"Ahm..." Alice and Iris looked at each other as they were surprised.
"It's okay. We planned to hold an intimate wedding. Iris and I don't have families left so we won't have many attendees. Of course all of you are welcome to attend. We plan to have it in Paris after I gave birth to Victoria." Alice politely declined Madame Mo's offer.
"That won't do. Big or small, Paris or here, still, let me arrange it." Madame Mo stubbornly insisted which made Alice and Iris to be quite surprised.
"Come on! You girls are important to my goddaughter so automatically, you're my daughters as well. And oh, please don't decline me. I'll be really hurt." Madame Mo dramatically told Iris and Alice who were totally speechless now.
"Just let her be. This lady wanted to have a daughter but was not blessed to have one. So she's than happy to treat you both as her adopted daughters if both of you don't mind." Madame Hua explained helplessly for her best friend.
"Is it really okay?" Alice asked cautiously. She had longed for a motherly love ever since her mom died. So she would gladly grab someone who's offering it for free.
"Yes, dear. I wanted both of you to be my daughters. I was just so shy back then when we meet. I am sorry." Madame Mo explained.
She refered to the time when Nathan and Eunji came back from their honeymoon and Eunji was sick. They were in low spirits that time so she thought it was inappropriate to talk about it.
And they were quite reserved when she's around. But at least they're polite and well-mannered.
She didn't see any problems with their preferences too. As long as they loved each other. That's all that matters.
"Come. Let me hug you both." Madame Mo spread her arms to welcome them and both Iris and Alice didn't reject her.
"This felt so good right? Okasan?" Mei asked Grandma Sana who had been silently observing their interaction.
"Indeed. I'm glad that I'm still alive and had gotten the chance to experience something wonderful as this." Grandma Sana expressed while looking at Eunji meaningfully.
This child...
If this was in the past, no one would surely believe them when they say Eunji was the reason why they were gathered here.
But she did.
It's all thanks to Eunji.
Eunji's photography team also arrived together with Guo Xiaolan and the gang.
Soon, Aunt Lucy called them to the dinning hall for dinner.
Minutes later, the husbands came and join them for dinner.
J and Yuki was not there as they had an excuse. Though she was a bit upset, she understood them.
After dinner, they gave their gifts for Eunji and Nathan and each received gifts from the couple.
Iris received the biggest gift from Eunji which was five percent share of KSA.
Iris wanted to decline it but Eunji insisted. It's for the baby.
Also, Eunji gave the Estates and properties owned by Alice's father which she had taken from Alice's step mother to Alice. Even the Casinos that she won from her last time.
It was rightfully hers to begin with.
