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 me okay? You brought it to yourself. I have already warned you to not provoke me but you didn't listen." Nathan whispered in her ear.

Kim Eunji felt like crying. Not because she was in pain or something else but because she felt like she was such a loser. Everytime she made her move, Nathan would always have a comeback.

"I know, but you told me 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 something 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 meant was feeding Kim Eunji while she's sitting on his lap.

Kim Eunji did not refute this time 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 somehow unfamiliar for Nathan but it was familiar with Kim Eunji. She had eaten it many times 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 time, 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 time 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 someone 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 became 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 me trouble tonight? Do you want me to ask Master Hua to give you more tasks to do? Seems like you have a lot of time 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 time 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 someone? 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 engagement to Kim Eunji. Even Grandmother Sana and Nathan's mother Mei only heard the news from Rin.

"Miss Kim?" Hua Zhang Wei asked to confirm his theory.

"Did I happen to meet him before?" Kim Eunji asked Nathan.

"No." Nathan denied though the two had met during Mo Jing-sheng and Kelly's wedding.

"Oie! Master Bai! What have you done to Miss Kim?! Why can't she recall me?!" Hua Zhang Wei yelled on the other line.

"You are someone unimportant for her to remember."

"Eh?!"

"Have we met before? I'm sorry, I can't remember a thing." Kim Eunji spoke.

"So it's really you Miss Kim? Oh my gosh! This is an awesome news! Satan had finally met someone who would cut his horns off."

"I guess that's a compliment?" 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 some things to say to you." Kim Eunji said.

"So you prefer talking and listening to him than to me?"

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 me to remind you again to not provoke me?"

"--__--" Kim Eunji inwardly face palmed herself. She then thought of a way to appease the Satan now.

'No wonder he was nicknamed 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 time that they had seen Nathan as he had visited the property a couple of times in the past.

Some 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 same fate. Especially when they found out and knew Nathan's reputation. They thought that Nathan would not settle down for good in this life time of his.

However, all of their worries vanished when Kim Eunji came 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 someone with a good character for them.

"Seems like spring had finally come to Master." Aunt Lucy whispered to herself.

"Also, you've been calling me by my name 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 me 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 someone that name in the future except him.

"Good girl." Nathan then patted Kim Eunji's head.

"Come, let's have our evening stroll, shall we?"

But first, with Nathan's watch, Kim Eunji then took her medication 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 meet someone 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 came, 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 something before he continued, "I think this is what the phrase 'You bring meaning and color into my life' means."

Nathan then started to recall everything that happened to him before he met Kim Eunji.

It was indeed awful and should be buried on the deepest part of his memory 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 me in the past. I could not blame you though. I think you saw me hitting a woman right after I rejected her love confession that's why your attitude towards me was that bad."

"No...it's not like that."

"Wait, are your memories back?! Do you remember now?!" Nathan asked in excitement.

"It's not what you think. I'm really that mean to people whom I don't know especially men." 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 judgment. 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 me anymore since you already have someone to be with."

"Love...do you know why I chose to call you love and not something else?"

"Why?"

"I call you love because you are the real love that I have found. You make me 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 me back, you didn't know how much happiness you gave me. And I would never trade this happiness for something quick, fragile and temporary."
