Kim Eunji left Nathan with a smirk on her face. ‘You ungrateful brat!’ Nathan cursed in his mind.

“Hah!” He huffed a mouthful of air as he tried to eliminate the frustration he had been feeling.

“Done watching?” Nathan asked with his voice an octave lower. Mo Jing-sheng dragged the nosy Zhang Wei by the ear and said, “This stinky brat wanted to see you be humiliated for the first time.”

“Ah! First brother… It hurts!” Zhang Wei whined like a girl.

“Can you stop whining? It’s irritating.” Mo Jing-sheng was annoyed by Zhang Wei

“Humiliated?” Nathan asked in a serious tone.

“Humiliated? Who?” Mo Jing-sheng looked around like he’s feigning ignorance as he’s afraid that he would earn a beating from Nathan.

“Oie first brother, is she the girl who turned Nate into this state?” Hua Zhang Wei then whispered into Mo Jing-sheng’s ears as he was afraid that he would receive Satan’s wrath if the latter heard him.

“Mm.” Mo Jing-sheng hummed in response.

“Oh. The Satan finally meet his match. Heaven and Hell. It suits them. Hahahahhahah!”

Zhang Wei laughed not realizing that Mo Jing-sheng and Nathan already left him alone.

At eight in the morning, the servants approached them and invited them for breakfast.

Though Kim Eunji had no appetite, she still showed up in the breakfast room. She then approached Master Mo and Madame Mo and politely greeted them. “Good morning, Mom. Dad.”

“Good morning to you. Did you have a good sleep last night?” Madame Mo meaningfully asked as she looked at Kim Eunji and then to Nathan who had an aloof expression on his face as if saying ‘Don’t talk to me.’

“Yeah. But, I’m sorry. I ruined the dinner last night.” Kim Eunji apologized with a sad look on her face.

While she was walking earlier, she heard some of the female servants gossiping about her. Some were even threwing a jealous look on her. She decided to ignore them as their words were harmless to her. Some where extra cautious when they happened to come across her.

She was not someone who was dumb enough to not put the pieces of the puzzle together.

“Child. Don’t be. I’m at fault of what happened, too.” Madame Mo said as she tried to console Kim Eunji.

Kim Eunji did not refute this time.

Seeing that Kim Eunji’s fine, Madame Mo heaved a sigh of relief and then smiled.

“Alright. Be seated. Breakfast will be served soon.” Madame Mo instructed.

Kim Eunji then scanned the entire room and saw that everyone had already settled on their seats. There were only four vacant seats left and one was beside the man whom she somehow suddenly had a bad feeling about. ‘So it was you.’ She thought as she looked at Nathan whose right wrist was in a cast. ‘What happened to his hand?’ She suddenly asked in her mind. But she shrugged this thoughts off as she recalled how rude the man was earlier.

‘Whoever caused that to him, I’ll be more than happy to make friends with that person.’ She still had no idea of what she had done to him.

She was about to walk towards the opposite side of the table but she heard a familiar voice coming from the entrance talking to Kelly and Mo Jing-sheng. As she turned around, she was surprised to see a very familiar person.

“Uncle Mike?!” Mike or Mike Roland was Kelly’s foster father and biological uncle. Mike Roland was a British man and the older twin brother of her late father. He was on his late fifties but based on his physical appearance, he looked like he’s still on his early 40s. He was wearing a long sleeved white polo paired with black khaki pants and black shoes.

“Eunji!” Mr. Roland smiled as he saw Kim Eunji and beckoned her for a hug which Kim Eunji did not decline.

“When did you arrive?” Kim Eunji asked.

“I arrived earlier. I happened to drop by your room to check on you but you were not there. So I thought of accompanying my beautiful niece first. You know, she deserved a serious lecture about life.” As he said the last part, his voice turned down a little bit. Had he not known Kelly’s OB, he would not be informed that Kelly was pregnant and had a flash marriage.

“And you my dear, I’ll deal with you later.”

Kelly who was standing beside him took the opportunity to introduce Mike Roland to everyone present in the breakfast room.

“Everyone, I would like to introduce my foster father slash uncle. Mr. Mike Roland.”

Master and Madame Mo looked at Mr. Roland and smiled. Mr. Roland smiled back at them. “Hello again Master and Madame Mo.”

He got the chance to have a quick chat of the two earlier and he could tell that they would treasure his precious niece. Judging by how Mo Jing-sheng tenderly looked at his wife, he could say that the Mo brat was good and can be trusted. Only a fool would say that Mo Jing-sheng was not head-over-heels in love with Kelly.

He then turned his gaze to the beautiful girl across him. ‘This lass… she needed to exert more effort if she wanted to have true love in the future.’ He thought.

Mo Ping, Mo Ting, Hua Zhang Wei, and Kim Jeong Ho greeted him, too. Except for Nathan who had a sullen look on his face.

Everyone turned their attention to Nathan who was still unmoved.

“Uhm, Mr. Roland, I’m very sorry for this child’s behavior. He had woken up on the wrong side of the bed and when he’s like this, we don’t usually interrupt him.” Zhang Wei explained to him as he gave a quick glance to Kim Eunji.

‘So beautiful. This Satan is lucky enough to meet an angel here on Earth.’ Zhang Wei said in his thought.

He inwardly sighed as he knew right there and then, he bad no chance with her at all.

The Satan had already had his eyes on her.

“It’s okay Young Master Hua. I understand.” Mr. Roland dismissed.

As soon as they saw the food being delivered to the room and was placed on the table everyone took their seats and seated.

“You grow even more beautiful every time I see you!” Mike complimented.

Kim Eunji bowed down her head to hide her already red face. For some reason, she’s not used to praises such as this one.

“No…I’m not…pretty,” her voice faded as she tried to deny his compliment.

“…”

‘Girl. If you’re not, then what are we?’ The young servants who were standing on the sidelines, though they were bowing, had the same thought in mind as soon as they heard her depreciating remarks for herself.

For Kim Eunji, physical appearance was not what makes a person beautiful. It was the soul and heart of a person. She considered herself as ugly because of how ugly her past was.

Mr. Roland only smiled as he saw Kim Eunji’s expression.

“Aiyah! Let’s eat first then continue our talk later. How about that?” He proposed which earned a nod from the latter.

Kim Eunji and Nathan were sitting opposite each other as she was sitting with Kelly who became extra clingy since she saw Kim Eunji.

Poor, Mo Jing-sheng, he was forced to sit beside Nathan. He had no choice but to comply since Kelly would be mad at him.

Breakfast was somehow peaceful in the breakfast room. They were having congee, wontons, jianbing, rice noodles and eggs.

Kim Eunji peacefully eat her bowl of congee. Madame Mo who had a trauma of what happened last night to Kim Eunji paid extra attention to the preparations of the food and made sure to avoid cross-contamination.

Kim Eunji was about to reach out for an egg but stopped mid-way when she felt that all eyes were on her.

“Just one bite…please.” Kim Eunji pitifully asked permission but Kelly refused her request.

“No! You had no idea how scared we were last night for you young lady. If not for Young Master Bai, we didn’t know what happened to you.” Kelly reprimanded.

Feeling dejected, Kim Eunji retreated in defeat. “I’m sorry.”

She could feel that someone was intently looking at her. When she looked up, she saw that it was none other than Nathan Bai.

She did not cower and the two had a staring battle. The first one to look away would lose. Kim Eunji raised an eyebrow taunting Nathan Bai to do something to her.

“Hey kids, we’re having breakfast here. We’re not playing.” Madame Mo gently reminded the two.

However, Mr. Roland inwardly face palmed when he saw that the two didn’t pay any attention to the people surrounding them.

“I never thought Master Bai could be this playful.” Zhang Wei commented that earned a sharp gaze from Nathan.

“Alright. Stop that.” Master Mo reprimanded them this time.

“I’m sorry Dad.” Kim Eunji apologized.

“So, what are your plans later everyone?” Madame Mo asked.

“Eunji and I planned to visit the mall here.” Kelly announced.

Hearing her, Kim Eunji looked at Kelly with a ‘Did we really?’ look on her face. Kelly stomped on her feet that made Kim Eunji to nod her head.

“Yeah, we did. I need to buy some stuff. I kind of brought only a few set of clothes here.” Kim Eunji said.

“But Kels. Are you sure you can? I can go on my own.” She added as she’s worried for Kelly’s condition. Stress was bad for the baby after all.

“I’m fine. Mo Jing-sheng will be with us.” Kelly reassured.

“But what about the wedding coordinator, she’ll be coming today for the final touches and arrangements.” Madame Mo voiced out.

“Oh yeah! I forgot about that. I’m so sorry Eunjiyah, I can’t accompany you today.” Kelly apologized.

“Nate, why don’t you accompany Kim Eunji later?” Madame Mo suggested.

Nate looked at Madame Mo as if contemplating if he should agree or not.

“No. There’s no need for that Mom. I don’t want to be a bother for Master Bai.” Kim Eunji tried to decline but Nathan agreed.

“Alright. I’ll go with you.” Nathan said as if teasing Kim Eunji in the process.

Having no choice, Kim Eunji reluctantly agreed. It would look impolite if she would decline him right in front of everyone.

“If you insist, fine.” She shortly answered.

Kim Eunji preferred going alone most of the time. Also, shopping was not her thing. It was mostly Kelly who would choose her clothes to wear for home and casual. And it would be someone she trusted for other things.

“Then it’s settled. Meet me at the parking lot an hour after.” Nathan Bai instructed.
