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

Kim Eunji slept peacefully that night. It was already when she woke up that she realized she was sleeping in his embrace.

Though Nathan was leaning on the headboard of her hospital bed, he made sure that Kim Eunji would be comfortable while she's sleeping.

The nurse who came to do the routine check on Kim Eunji even found it a pity to disrupt the two from sleeping as they looked so peaceful and looked so good together. So, she only checked her IV, temperature and decided to come back later to check and dress on her wound.

They couple perfectly complimented each other to say the least.

Kim Eunji looked up and saw Nathan with his eyes closed and his left arm hugging her upper body in place.

Nathan felt Kim Eunji's movement and he was awakened by it.

"Good morning love." He gently greeted as he lovingly smiled to Kim Eunji.

"Go-od morning." It was clear that Kim Eunji was not used to this kind of treatment from someone.

And she feared to get used to this as this was too good to be true. She's afraid that when Nathan woke up from his fantasy, he would leave her alone.

Though she could not remember her memories for the past year, she could still remember that she never allowed someone to be closer to her at this level of being intimate aside from Kelly which was another story obviously.

Nathan looked at her as she was in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Nathan asked. He was concerned that Kim Eunji might be in pain or something might have happened to her as she had been looking at him. And her forehead even creased one moment.

"Nothing." Kim Eunji said as she looked away.

"Okay." Not going to lie but Nathan was disappointed by her response.

"Are you hungry? I'll ask them to prepare your breakfast." Nathan then picked up his phone and was about to call Hiro when Kim Eunji stopped him.

Kim Eunji looked at Nathan who was having dark circles underneath his eyes and he looked tired. He must have slept late or did not sleep at all.

Because of this, her heart turned heavy.

"I'm not hungry. Why don't you sleep for awhile. You looked tired."

"I'm okay." Nathan declined. He's used to not sleeping a week straight because of his supper busy schedule. He took an off from work during Mo Jing-sheng's wedding therefore his work load had piled up.

And now, he was scheduled to go back to Beijing today but he had to delay it for days because of Kim Eunji. Also, he let Marco to attend the conference on his behalf as he was stuck in the hospital.

"But..."

"I'm tougher than what you think." Of course there's no way he would tell her that he's indeed tired.

Before Kim Eunji could protest, the door of her room opened revealing Mei Johnson with an elderly woman sitting on the wheelchair.

"Did we interrupt something?" Mei asked her son and then looked at Kim Eunji who was in shock earlier but was now looking down.

"You stinky brat! Did you bully my daughter-in-law?" Mei asked him in Nihongo but Kim Eunji understood the language perfectly. Kim Eunji's eyes widened when she heard the woman calling her as daughter-in-law.

"No! It's not what you think Ma'am." She wanted to clarify that if possible, she didn't want to be associated with the likes of him.

Mei however thought that she was defending Nathan therefore she rushed on her side and pushed away her son so that she could properly took a closer look at Kim Eunji.

"Your name's Kim Eunji right?" Mei asked in English.

"Mom. She can understand and can speak Nihongo." Nathan said which made Mei be surprised. Nathan was surprised by this too. Well, thanks to his subordinate who told him that she could speak in Japanese fluently like it was her native tongue.

She could speak Mandarin and Cantonese really well, too. He thought that this was because she was friends with Kelly and the latter had taught her how to speak the language. But seems like he was proven wrong as she's more fluent of the language than Kelly herself.

"Do you?" She asked her in Nihongo this time.

Kim Eunji nodded in response.

"Oh gosh! That was pretty embarrassing." Mei commented.

"It's okay. I'm partly at fault, too." Kim Eunji tried to comfort her which made Mei happy with her as she could feel that her feelings about the situation were genuine and there was no hidden agenda behind her words.

"Eunji, darling...you're so pretty. No wonder my son is head over heals for you."

Kim Eunji could feel her face heating up once again as she felt shy by the compliment.

"Thank you." Her dumpling cheeks turned red even more which earned a chuckle from Mei.

"Mom!" Nathan whined who was now standing behind his grandmother's wheelchair. He didn't want Kim Eunji to have that idea in mind. He was in denial.

"Nate boy. You had chosen well. She's indeed perfect to be the in-law of this family." Nathan's grandmother complimented.

"I know grandma. I'll only choose the best." Nathan said as he lovingly looked at Kim Eunji who was now throwing dagger gazes to him.

Nathan helplessly chuckled while Nathan's grandma, Sana found it cute. Mei agreed with her mother, too.

"It's so good to be young and in love." She remarked which made Kim Eunji and Nathan both blushed for some reason.

"Mom, don't you think it's time for us to arrange their wedding starting today?" Mei's eyes sparkled as she enthusiastically said that.

Kim Eunji remained silent and Nathan decided to step-in.

"Mom, don't put Kim Eunji and I in an awkward spot please. As much as I liked that idea, I would rather do it on Kim Eunji's pace. I'd rather wait longer than lose her in the process." Nathan maturely said.

Kim Eunji relaxed as she heard his reassuring words.

"Of course. Of course we'll do that. I don't want to overwhelm my daughter-in-law. Gomenasai. I'm just so happy to finally meet you." Mei Johnson said as she looked at Kim Eunji with motherly love.

"It's okay, Ma'am. I-"

"Call me Aunt." As much as Mei wanted Kim Eunji to call her 'Mom' just like Nathan, she didn't want to overwhelm the kid so much.

"Aunt." Kim Eunji somehow managed to utter it. It was far better than making her call the woman Aunt.

"Oh, before I forgot. My name's Mei Johnson. Nathan's mother. And that lady on the wheelchair's my mother and Nathan's grandma. Her name's Sana Johnson."

"Kim Eunji." She shortly introduced. She thought it's no big deal if she won't introduce where her family line came from.

Nathan pushed the wheelchair to bring his grandmother closer to them.

Sana weakly held Kim Eunji's hand with his wrinkled hand and gently squeezed them. Kim Eunji was surprised to see that Nathan and Mei's smile got it from this elderly woman.

Though her hair was now full grey and her skin could no linger deny her age, it could not be denied that she's very beautiful. And her mannerisms were that of a fine woman from a prominent clan. Kim Eunji could tell that in one glance based on experience.

"Eunji...What a beautiful name. It means kindness and wisdom in Korean right?" Sana asked her in English.

"Yes. My father gave that name to me." Kim Eunji gently smiled as she recalled her father telling her the meaning of her name.

Nathan saw her smiling but there were sadness underneath that smile. This made Nathan be curious about her family.

"Mom, grandma, I know you want to hang out with Kim Eunji more but I'm afraid let's do it after breakfast."

"Oh you're right. Hiro already brought breakfast and a change of clothes for us earlier." Mei announced. They came in to invite the two for breakfast but she got carried away.

"Then let's go. It's not good to keep the food waiting for us." Sana remarked.

"We'll follow you grandma. I just have to help Kim Eunji to sit in her wheelchair." Nathan then walked towards the spare wheelchair resting on the corner and pushed it near the bed.

"Okay. Don't take any delay." Sana said which made Kim Eunji blushed.

As soon as the mother and daughter left, Nathan asked her, "Are you blushing?" It was an innocent question on his part but Kim Eunji glared at him as if saying 'Don't you dare'.

Nathan ignored the fierce kitten whom he thought looked adorable with an angry face.

Nathan helped Kim Eunji to sit on the wheelchair and pushed it to bring her to his grandmother's room.

As they arrived, the food was already preheated and was served in the table. The delicious smell evaded in her nostrils and Kim Eunji was almost drooling.

"Why are your food smells different? It smells more delicious than the others." She clarified.

"Do you think so?" Mei asked her.

"Yeah."

"Then you should eat more." Mei said but Nathan interrupted.

"She can't. She's only allowed to take soft diet for now. Her wound operation is still fresh." Nathan reminded.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I forgot about that." Mei immediately apologized.

"It's okay." Kim Eunji consoled Nathan's mother.

"Alright. I'm hungry. Let's eat. Shall we?"

"Sure!"

"Itadakimasu!"
