Chapter 203 - 202: Nathan's Sister
Before she could even react, Celine had finally reached her spot and softly said, "We've finally meet. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Hi. I am Nathan's sister. I'm Yuki Sato. But many called me Celine. It's nice to finally meet you." Celine talked in Nihonggo hoping that no one would get what they were talking about.
Sensing that Nathan must have probably told Celine about her, Eunji finally calmed down.
Eunji stood up and then looked at Celine, "Likewise, it's great to finally meet you, too. Eunji but you can call me sister-in-law. Whichever you prefer." Eunji answered her in Nihonggo.
"I'm sorry if I was not able to attend yours and brother Nate's wedding. I really wanted to."
"It's okay. Nathan told me about it. Though I badly wanted to meet you since the night you saved my life. Thank you for saving me." Eunji heart fully said.
"Nah, it's nothing. I should thank you because you give me the chance to witness my brother's hilarious face when he came to me that night and asked me to save your life. That's when I realize you are going to be my sister-in-law." Celine explained.
Eunji's mouth opened in disbelief as she didn't know that Nathan had done such thing for her before.
For a prideful man like him, it must have been too much for him to do that just to save her.
"So, can I at least get a hug from my sister-in-law?" Celine's request surprised Eunji.
"Su-re!" Eunji said.
"Ahem!" The two then broke off the hug when they heard Nathan clearing his throat behind them.
"Seems like you finally meet my sister. I guess you have finally expressed your gratitude towards her, right?" Nathan lovingly asked Eunji.
"Hi." Eunji shyly greeted him as she welcomed Nathan's hug.
Nathan also then planted a kiss on top of her forehead shocking everyone around.
"Eh? Master Bai's being intimate with EL?!"
"Eh?!!!!!"
The audience could not believe what was happening.
"Oh no! He's cheating on goddess Kim!"
"Hwahh!!!"
"No!"
"What's this drama? Two mistress and the legal wife?"
While everyone was busy talking on Nathan's 'cheating scandal' the couple was so happy talking to Celine.
Eunji then studied Celine's features and compared it to Nathan.
Celine had a perfectly arched eyebrows and big round eyes with blue orbs and long eye lashes.
They both shared the same shape of the nose and the chin. Her lips were fuller than the average.
Her face was relatively smaller and more feminine than that of Nathan's.
Simply put, Celine took her facial shape from Mei.
"Wow, both of you really had a resemblance." Eunji blurted out.
"Of course! We're twins after all. I mean triplets." Celine sadly said.
"Just like our babies." Nathan leaned in and whispered dearly on her ear.
"I know. As I think about it, I could not imagine how big my tummy will be when I am in full term. There will be three of them." Eunji expressed her worries.
"You don't have to worry about that, I'll be behind your back to give you support when they're too heavy."
"What are you both whispering about?" Celine curiously asked.
"Nothing." Nathan and Eunji said in unison.
Since Nathan had not mention about Eunji's pregnancy to Celine, Eunji found it a perfect gift for their birthday tomorrow.
"Okay. Fine. But I hope my brother's not scheming against me anymore." Celine hinted.
"No! Not at all. I'm sure you'll like it." Eunji reassured.
"Wait, how did you know you approached the right person? After all, I am dressed as EL tonight. Did Nathan tell you beforehand?"
"Hehe. Yes he did. I must say he really know how to choose someone to be my sister-in-law. You're perfect in every way." Celine said.
Eunji looked down as she tried to hide her blush.
Nathan smiled proudly.
"Which brought me into realization, when will I find my perfect guy?" Celine sighed in disappointment.
Seeing that the trio were having fun while talking, the by-standers who were waiting for a confrontation was at a loss.
Mo Jing-sheng, Kelly, Jeong Ho, Hua Zhang Wei and J also arrived at the venue.
Like the others they were stunned to see Nathan hugging a blonde haired woman while talking to the famous actress Celine.
Kelly and J seemed to be unaffected with it.
They calmly walked towards them and greeted the trio.
"Eunjiyah!" Kelly called Eunji's name happily as she hugged the latter.
Seeing that Kelly was coming towards her, Eunji broke free from Nathan's hold and hugged Kelly back.
"I miss you." Kelly whined like a kid.
"Lol, we literally had seen each other three hours ago. And you're saying you miss me?"
"Of course I do. It's not every day I got the chance to be with you."
"Wait! Sister-in-law?!" Hua Zhang Wei exclaimed in surprise after he realized what was going on.
"Is that you?" Hua Zhang Wei asked in disbelief.
Eunji chuckled as she saw Hua Zhang Wei's reaction.
"Hello Master Hua." Eunji waved her hand as she showed her brightest smile making Hua Zhang Wei dumbfounded.
"Eh? Why are you cosplaying?" Hua Zhang Wei innocently asked Eunji.
"Brother Hua, she's not cosplaying. She's EL the well-known international photographer who had just announced her retirement a couple of months ago." Kelly explained.
"Oh." Hua Zhang Wei decided to stay quiet as he was speechless.
Of course he had no idea who EL was since the fashion world was never his thing. He was so focused on playing video games before his father forced him to take over their family business.
"Yes. Well, this was me before I met Nathan." Eunji said.
"Oh my gosh! So goddess Kim is actually my idol all this time?" One student exclaimed when they finally realized that everything was just a misunderstanding.
Eunji heard this and she chuckled on that.
'These kids sure are cute.' She thought.
J then approached Eunji as he greeted her.
"Eunji."
"J."
"I thought you had decided to retire." J said.
"Yes. I am indeed retired. This will be the last time I'll be dressing up as EL. After this, there's no more."
"Oh. I see." J said.
"The show's about to start. Let's all settle down." Nathan interrupted the conversation.
"Nate, aren't you going to introduce me to them?" Celine cut Nathan off.
Though his friends knew that he had a sister who had grown up into a different family, they never got the chance to meet her because she didn't want to.
Therefore, they were looking forward to meet her in person.
"Oh! Everyone, this is Yuki Sato. People call her as Celine. But she's my dear sister." Nathan said full of affection towards her.
"This First Bro Mo Jing-sheng and his wife Kelly, Hua Zhang Wei and Kim Jeong Ho, first bro's cousin and this, this is J or Master Jin Jie, my wife's cousin."
"Hi Celine!" The group greeted her and extended their hands for a handshake as they simultaneously introduced themselves to her.
"Call me First Bro just like Nate." Mo Jing-sheng introduced himself first.
"Sister-in-law but you can call me Kel just like how Eunji-yah would address me." Kelly smiled sweetly as she hugged Celine.
"Zhang Wei at your service pretty sister." Hua Zhang Wei said in excitement.
"Jeong Ho." Compared to Zhang Wei's Jeong Ho's introduction was brief.
"Jin Jie but you can call me J just like how everybody else's called me." J said.
"Hi everyone, I'm Celine. I'll be in your care for the mean time." Celine greeted everyone with enthusiasm but she could not take her eyes off on Jin Jie.
Eunji smiled upon seeing Celine's reaction towards J.
Seems like someone had finally found her match.
'Ladies and gentlemen, the show's about to start!' The Host announced interrupting their blissful conversation.
Nathan then urged everyone to take their respective seats so he and Eunji would have alone time together.
Eunji then leaned on to Nathan's ear as she whispered, "Seems like sister-in-law's interested on my cousin."
Nathan only hummed in response.
"What? You don't approve of them being together?" Eunji asked in disbelief.
She didn't know that Nathan could be this overprotective to his sister.
"It's not like that." Nathan tried to defend himself from her accusing gaze.
"I believe J's peaceful days would soon come to an end." He explained.
"Oh. That would be interesting to witness then, right?" Eunji commented as she looked at J and then to Celine.
"Yeah." Nathan smiled when he saw his wife's happy face.
"What are you both whispering about?" Kelly asked them after she found the couple's behavior as odd.
"Eunji here is planning to set my sister with J." Nathan decided to answer her.
"Oh!" Kelly's eyes sparkled in excitement.
There's not much happening lately so she's very excited to witness something fun.
"No. It's more like sister-in-law's attracted to J." Eunji corrected him.
"Anyhow. What's the plan?" Kelly asked.
"Nothing as of the moment. But if the situation or the circumstances are favorable, I am sure that they'll eventually meet again." Eunji stated as a matter-of-fact tone.
The event finally started.
The same models had walked on the ramp flaunting the dresses they had been modeling for.
Just like any other fashion shows, the audiences were silent as they carefully watched the models as they took their moment alone on the ramp with an upbeat music being played on the background.
While everyone was busy watching the models walking on the ramp, Eunji excused herself as she wanted to use the toilet.
Nathan wanted to go with her but Eunji insisted that she should go alone since she'll be fine and she'll be back.
Nathan decided to let her but not until he told her that if she won't come back within five minutes, he would follow her there.
Eunji stood up and left her seat.
Eunji found the nearest ladies room and she entered there.
When she was done, she was about to leave but from afar, she saw Angelina having an argument over with someone.
Eunji had no intention to eavesdrop but their voices were too loud which had caught her attention especially when she saw two men together with Angelina.
One was the Mr. Lou whom had helped her earlier and the other one who had a resemblance with Mr. Lou but looked younger.
The younger one was gripping Angelina's wrist and Eunji could see that Angelina was wincing in pain.
Eunji didn't want to interfere as whatever it was, she had no business whatsoever.
And since she was with the Lou family, then, Eunji thought that what was happening was family matters.
But Eunji had this nagging feeling that she should interrupt. That she should meddle and save Angelina. Especially when she saw the man about to hit Angelina on the face.
"Excuse me? Is everything alright?" She politely asked but with caution.
Seems like the man was surprised to hear her voice and he freed Angelina's wrist.
Angelina saw that as an opportunity to be free and took advantage of that.
She then immediately ran towards Eunji who was now dressed as EL.
"Stay out of this. This matter is between husband and wife!" The man spit with venom in his words.
Marital affairs.
Eunji could not help but snicker as she looked at him.
She then looked at Angelina who was still shaking because whatever had happened earlier had surely gave her a scare.
"Are you alright?" Stupid question to ask when it was obvious that she wasn't.
Angelina looked at Eunji's clear eyes and there Eunji saw the fear that was in the former's eyes.
And something inside her kept on telling her that she should help Angelina tonight.
"Don't worry, you're safe now." Eunji softly said as she tucked Angelina behind her.
"Mister, do you know that it's not good to raise your hand to a woman especially to your very own wife?"
"Are you trying to lecture me? Who do you think you are?!"
"A nobody who happened to witness domestic violence." Eunji immediately answered.
"And you Mister, why are you just standing there and let this Mister hurt his wife?" Eunji then turned his attention to Mister Lou who was now looking at Eunji with interest.
"It's just a misunderstanding and I believe that my brother here would not go to the extent of hurting her. You see, he loved her." Mr. Lou reasoned.
Yes, there's always two sides of the story but since she's a woman herself, then she should side with her fellow women but also, she didn't dare to offend them or else it would only add more trouble.
"Still. What you're doing was not right. Instead of bringing and solving this matter back in your house and talk it out privately, you're making a scene here in public. Do you know how this would impact on her self-esteem? Aren't you worried that your reputation would be ruined, too?"
"She's popular in school. What if one of her students saw this?" Eunji added.
"So what? I don't care. I need to teach that bitch a lesson! Stay out of this or else I'll crash you!" He said angrily.
Maybe Mr. Lou had understood what Eunji was trying to say so he finally stopped his brother from causing anymore scene.
"Stop it! Let' go. Talk to her another time. This lady's right. You better let the tension between you both dropped and talk to her when you're calm. You're only scaring her."
