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

Chapter 225 - 224: Failed To Be A Good Husband To Her



When they arrived at the villa, the on-call chefs were busy preparing for a sumptuous meal for Eunji.

The pregnant woman was being held by her husband in the villa's master's bedroom.

While they were there, the chefs were considerate enough to make an appetizer for their Mistress to eat while waiting. So Nathan was feeding her with them.

Then, Nathan asked her to remove the layer of thick coats from her body.

He also rolled up the sleeves of her top to make sure she didn't suffer serious injuries and she only had a swollen face.

When he caught a glance of her reddened and bruised wrist, his gaze darkened and Eunji could feel the temperature in the room to drop down into a few degrees lower even though the heater was almost maxed out.

Seeing this reaction, Eunji could not help not to be guilty.

"Look, I'm fine. They didn't manage to hurt me more." Maybe because she had calmed down a bit that's why she was back into the calm Eunji again.

She tried to persuade the man to not be angry but it made Nathan to even become more furious.

"I didn't even let a mosquito to bite you but they dared to do this to you?!" Nathan snapped. He was clearly loosing his cool.

Yes, that was how overprotective he was of her!

"Stop being angry now okay? The important thing is that they were now at my mercy. Had I not caught Aimee in the act and stopped her before she resort to worse, it would be more troublesome."

'What's worse than hiring a hitman to kill her?' Nathan thought.

She may hire someone from the International Mercenary Union. Days ago, she had discovered that someone created a council that managed the whole mercenary system and making it more centralized and globalized.

The previously existing big mercenary groups and factions were now members of it except for the small scale ones.

It would be troublesome if she'd hire one of those people. She had been trying to not attract any attention until she had given birth to their babies.

Though her photos in the internet were now deleted for security purposes, Aimee could still hire a cartoonist to make a sketch of her face and it would be more troublesome.

She believed that Aimee had resorted to that method that's why the members of the Zoddy Gang recognized her earlier.

"When did you suspect about all of this?" Nathan's question made Eunji silent.

He had only learnt the news that someone had placed a bounty on her head today. Had he known earlier, he would never let her go shopping today.

"Not so long ago." She paused and continued, "I created an AI program that was sensitive enough to detect if any of my photos and name was up in any browser as long as it was connected with the internet. Then, they would delete those photos or articles if I don't allow it to be up there. My phone beeped and I saw my name in the local bounty request board."

This news was no longer a surprise for Nathan as he could still recall how his wife helped him when he had gotten involved with that awful scandal.

He felt ashamed as he had to have his wife's help to clear his name.

He could do it actually but it would take him more time.

'So that's why I never heard of it until later.' Nathan thought.

"The client would never place their name in the bounty request board in case their subjects found out that their names were up there. So I have to catch the person myself." She confessed.

"I'm sorry. I didn't set it straight to her. I thought giving her a verbal warning would work but unfortunately, it didn't." Nathan regretted it. Maybe he was just so soft in reprimanding the woman.

"It's okay. I sent her to a place where she would face her punishment. In fact, I will personally deliver her punishment to her." Eunji said.

Nathan remained silent as he gently caressed her bruised wrist.

Eunji didn't feel it aching as she was used to getting them in the past but since seeing Nathan's care and anxiety over it, it started to ache now.

"Is it painful?" He asked though he already knew the answer to his question. But he felt proud as Eunji didn't whine or cry because of it.

Eunji shook her head.

"Next time, if you received any threats, let me help you with it, okay?"

This time, Eunji felt even guiltier. Ever since she got back, he never raised his voice towards her even though it was clear that she's partly at fault.

Seeing that she was on the verge of tears, Nathan felt helpless.

"Don't worry. I'm not mad. I'm just upset that you dared to put yourself and our babies in danger. And I felt useless for not being able to figure that you're in danger. I felt like I failed being a husband to you again." He sincerely said.

"Don't say that. You're the most perfect husband in the world. I'm just acting willful again." She admitted sheepishly.

"Alright. Let's not talk about this tonight okay?" Nathan said and Eunji agreed.

Then an on-call female servant informed them that dinner was ready. Eunji's expression lit up when she heard that she'll finally have dinner at last!

Nathan chuckled as he saw the excitement in her eyes.

When they got into the dinning table, many dishes were served on the table.

Nathan watched as Eunji got the taste of every dishes one at a time.

"Wifey, slow down. It's not good to have a heavy meal at night." Nathan reminded her.

"Try to have three hungry babies inside you. You'll understand me better." She refuted and then continued eating.

"Okay. I just don't want you to suffer from indigestion." Nathan said helplessly.

Then minutes after they finished dinner, Marco walked in the villa with An Qi and Master Liu together with two more doctor trailing behind him.

They followed into the master's bedroom so they could check Eunji there.

Nathan was told to leave the room while the two checked on Eunji but as stubborn as he was, he didn't budge.

After what had happened, he would never dare to be separated from her even a single moment.

Having no choice, they did their thing with Nathan watching.

After making sure that Eunji didn't suffer from any serious injuries and the babies were all safe, they decided to retire for the night after cleaning her cuts on the wrist and applying creams on the bruises.

The following morning, Nathan and Eunji went back to the mansion where everyone was waiting patiently for her.

Nathan called them last night that she's safe and sound. However, they could not help not to be worried.

"Eunjiyah!" Kelly cried when she saw Eunji's silhouette entering the mansion.

"Careful!" Eunji called out in helplessness.

After making sure that she's safe and sound, they then left the mansion. Nathan also rescheduled the yoga class since they had to go somewhere else this morning and would be back later.

On the afternoon, Nathan and Eunji together with Iris boarded the helicopter going to the island where the rest of the Zoddy Gang members were held captive.

As soon as the helicopter landed, the aspiring agents residing on the island for training and senior agents fell in line to welcome them.

They received a memo from Eagle that a very important guest would be coming over.

As soon as they descended from the helicopter, they made a salute to her.

Only those who recognized her were in glee when they saw her. The rest were confused.

But when their seniors introduced the identities of their guests, they were happy too.

Especially when they saw a glimpse of her face. Even if they could not see her face clearly, they could tell that she's worthy to be called a goddess.

But what shocked them was the identity of the man standing behind her.

J, who had been on the island yesterday greeted them both and lead them in the main building.

"Are you okay?" J asked Eunji.

"Jeez! If I will ask those who kept on asking that same question to me one hundred million dollars each, then, I'll be a billionaire now." Eunji said in annoyance.

This made J and Nathan to chuckle. On the other hand, Iris maintained a snappy expression on her face.

If this was outside, she would wear a casual expression but the place was different now.

She was surrounded by her superiors and fellow agents. She should be professional.

Both Eunji and J knew what was running on her mind therefore they didn't interrupt her.

"I'm just worried. Eagle only told me last night that something happened to you. I felt betrayed all of a sudden. Seems like Master Bai had been spoiling you a lot to the point that you're acting more willful again." J told her.

"I know. It's not my fault that my husband just wanted to spoil me like a queen. And besides, stop acting like I was not willful in the past. As a matter of fact, I was worse back then." She retorted.

"Alright! You've become heartless, too! How dare you flaunt your affection in front of a single person like me!" J spoke acting hurt in the process.

"Who told you to remain single until now? J, you're not getting any younger." She told him.

"Nah, now's not the right time for me yet." J sighed deeply. Seems like he was depressed with something.

While the two were having a good time chatting, Nathan was silently listening to them.

He's glad that his wife was fine and was having fun in teasing J.

"Then, when's the right time for you? When you're starting to grow grey hairs in your head?" She teased.

Eunji knew that a lot had been going on inside the Jin household these days.

And J was stuck in the middle and making him to have a hard time.

Nathan had suppressed Jin Corp that they had declared bankruptcy last week.

Now, they were liquidating all of their assets to pay their loans on the financial institutions.

Of course, there's no way that Nathan would let all those properties and assets to go to someone else's hands. It originally belonged to his wife and it was only right to return it to its original owner like it should be.

Because of what was happening, those elders who wad relied on Jin Corps.' income over the years would never stay put. They kept on pressuring J's father to find alternative sources of income for the whole clan.

Now, the entire Jin clan was reduced to nothing and they could only blame the main family for their misfortune.

The conflicts in their family would last for years. If he would wait for it to be resolved before going to settle down then he'll get married at the age of fifty.

But since she had declared that she's never been related to the Jin Family, she decided to keep that word.

All she could do was to support J in his decision.

But Eunji wanted him to have a life of his own, too.

He wanted him to leave the family since they were all a bunch of garbage but J, being filial to his elders could not dare to do that.

And Eunji didn't want to push his buttons even more.

But she could feel that one day, J would finally turn his backs to them.

J was the current manager of QPRC and KSA while starting to build his own business, a restaurant and coffee shop chain out from his own savings.

But he never got the support from them and even mocked his ideas.

And maybe, that would push him to leave.

The two continued their talking until they reached the entrance going to the underground dungeon where they kept their captives.

The agents guarding it stood up and made a salute when they saw the quartet coming.

"Mistress! Boss! Captain! Master Bai!" The guard agents greeted.

They addressed J as their Boss while Tiger as their Captain.

"Where are the people brought here last night?" Eunji immediately asked.

"Follow me!" J told her.

While walking at the corridor, she looked at the faces of their captives last night.

She then spotted the girl who was wearing the Capricorn mask yesterday.

Eunji then pointed and said, "Release her! Let her train with the rest. As for the others, let them suffer being in prison for months. If there are changes in their behavior, it's up to you if you'll let them join us or surrender them to the police." She told J.

"Alright."

The two agents then opened Capricorn's prison cell.

The latter sob as she could not believe she was saved.

"Thank you!" She cried in gratitude in between her sob.

"I give you the second chance, I hope you won't waste it." Eunji told her and the girl vigorously nodded her head. She was afraid that if she won't show her sincerity enough, she would be thrown back inside the cell.

They then went towards the last two cell where the people imprisoned where being tied in chains.

"Had she eaten?" Eunji asked as she looked at Aimee who was in a pitiful state.

"She refused to." J said with a sigh.

"Wake her up." Eunji spoke and the guards opened her cell and then poured a bucket of cold water to her making the latter to scream and woke up.

"Rise and shine! You still have a game to play, right?"

"You!" She screamed as soon as she realized that Eunji was standing outside her cell.

"Good! I like that attitude. I hope you can bring that up during the game." Eunji said.
