"It's not what you think, Darling." Mo Jing-sheng tried his best to defend Nathan and Eunji without giving away their secret.

He just hoped that with Kelly in his office, Eunji would be honest to her and drop her disguise for the sake of the sisterhood that she and his wife shared.

Also, keeping Eunji's secret from his wife was like torture for Mo Jing-sheng.

He had witnessed how worried his wife was for Eunji.

So he hoped that Eunji would stop hurting his wife even more.

Kelly was an understanding person. And he knew that if Eunji would explain everything to her, she would understand.

But of course, he could not guarantee that she won't snap at Eunji.

Over the past two years that he was married to her, he knew and experienced this "scary" side of her. And he knew that Eunji could handle this well.

Mo Jing-sheng didn't know that he was lost in his thoughts that when he snapped back to reality, he saw Kelly about to grab Eunji's hair.

"No!" Mo Jing-sheng grabbed Kelly's hands on time.

"Stop it! Don't make a scene." Mo Jing-sheng immediately hugged Kelly; keeping her arms on the side.

"Mommy! Daddy! Are you both fighting?" Mo Yichen asked from the side.

Shock was evident on his eyes.

Mo Jing-sheng immediately ran towards his son and then carried him in his arms.

"No, we aren't. I love your mom so much that I could not afford to even lay a hand on her." Mo Jing-sheng started explaining to his two year old son.

"Your mom just misunderstood your uncle. But don't worry, we will talk this out. So why don't you go to your play room and play with your toys? When we're done talking, we will call you for dinner."

"Okay? No more shouting okay? It's bad." Mo Yichen cutely said and even gave his dad a kiss.

Then he asked to be put down so he could give a hug to his mother before he'll go to his play room in his father's office.

When Kelly was distracted, he took the opportunity and signaled Nathan to bring Eunji out of his office.

"She happened to be Nathan's friend and he had just gotten out from a surgery and Nathan let her to rest. And besides, even if Nathan would want to date her, it's okay."

Kelly then looked at Nathan and he was nodding his head calmly to confirm Mo Jing-sheng's lie.

"They're divorced now. Therefore, Nathan is not cheating. He's free to meet any woman that he liked. Your best friend broke him. He waited her for two years. And when she came back, this was what she gave to him? In exchange of his loyalty, she asked for divorce."

Mo Jing-sheng tried his best to be calm in delivering that, especially when their son was only a wall away from hearing these stuff.

He didn't want to be a bad influence.

At the same time, he was apologizing to Eunji mentally.

He had to calm down his wife, Kelly, since it was clear that Eunji still didn't want to reveal herself.

Eunji was still so caught up with her disguise.

Eunji who was listening to Mo Jing-sheng's rant felt bad not to herself but to everyone being affected because she existed.

She could feel Nathan gently rubbing her back and trying to calm her down.

Nathan then whispered into her ear.

"Don't move your head, I'll get you out of here."

Eunji hummed in response and Nathan did what he planned to do.

"Seems like I'm going to be banned from getting inside your office from now on, First Bro. Thank you for the dinner. But we don't think we have the appetite to eat it."

"I'm sorry Nate. Kelly was just really emotional these days." Mo Jing-sheng apologized in behalf of Kelly.

"I understand." Nathan then stood up and carried Eunji vertically so her face would be pressed against Nathan's chest.

On his other hand was the paper bag containing Eunji's stained clothes.

When Nathan and Eunji successfully left the office, Kelly sat down on the bench.

She was really upset snapping at Nathan.

She knew what she did was wrong. But she was just greatly affected with the news of Nathan and Eunji's divorce.

And most importantly, Eunji had not been calling her.

She was not like this. Eunji never ignored her calls. She never ignored her existence. She asked Iris and Alice if they heard from her but the couple was also experiencing the same thing.

It was like she evaporated from thin air.

She could not stop herself from thinking that it was better if she remained dead if she would only keep on ignoring them like this.

They had not heard from Nathan's family either.

She kept on asking Mo Jing-sheng about their whereabouts but her husband had been tight-lipped about it. The other two were also not a big help.

All she knew was that Nathan was having issues with security that's why he decided to hide his family to everyone including them.

"Haish! Speaking of that woman, does she even realize that she still has a loyal best friend, like me waiting for her?" Kelly said in frustration.

Mo Jing-sheng sat down beside her and wrapped his arms on her sides.

"Relax. It's not good for the baby." He whispered.

"I know. I'm sorry. I just can't control myself not to flare up and be emotional."

"If you keep acting like this, then our plan of announcing our pregnancy when we're at five months might not happen." Mo Jing-sheng continued.

Kelly only pouted in response.

"Will Nathan forgive me?" Kelly softly said.

"Of course! Especially when he knew that we're expecting. He would understand why you're such in a bad mood."

"I hope so."

"Come. Let's eat dinner. I know you haven't eaten yet."

Kelly gasped when in surprise.

"How did you know?" She was back to being playful.

They were about to start eating dinner when they both heard a knock and the doctor who assisted Eunji earlier came in. He was holding a tray containing the syringes.

"Good evening Chairman! Madame Mo!" The doctor greeted after he saw that Kelly was there.

"Chairman, Dr. Kim asked us to bring these here." At the same time he was scanning the room with the hopes that Eunji was still around.

"Oh! She already left. Just leave it on top of the table. I'll ask someone to bring that to her." Mo Jing-sheng immediately said.

"Really. What a shame. We really hope that you can invite her to be one of the speakers in our seminar."

"I'll see what I can do." Mo Jing-sheng then urged him to leave the office immediately before he could spill some tea and then would get Kelly's attention.

Kelly was super sensitive not that she's pregnant.

When the doctor was gone, Kelly asked him immediately.

"Who is Dr. Kim? Is she a new resident here?"

Of course Kelly were very familiar with the names of all the doctors working in their hospital.

"Oh! No. We happened to have a dangerous case earlier and unknowingly, she happened to be related to the patient. She ended up saving the patient."

"She seemed cool. I want to meet her."

Mo Jing-sheng could not believe that the little information that he said fueled Kelly's curiosity even more.

"You can't. Actually, you already did. But given how you reacted, she might want to avoid you."

"Do you mean, it was her?!" Kelly asked in shock and Mo Jing-sheng nodded in confirmation.

"Oh! I didn't know. I'm sorry." Kelly felt bad.

"It's okay. It's just a misunderstanding." Mo Jing-sheng started comforting his wife.

"It's just weird that Nathan's friend was also called named Kim. Are you sure that she's not my Eunji?"

"Oh! Believe me when I say she wasn't. Look, there are a lot of Kim in the world. Eunji's not the only one."

Mo Jing-sheng hoped that his wife would believe him.

He was really hoping that Eunji would end this herself.

He no longer didn't want to continue lying to his wife.

He hated this feeling at all.

Meanwhile, Eunji and Nathan were sitting on the backseat of Nathan's Bentley.

They had decided to go home after what had happened on the hospital earlier.

Eunji didn't want to leave J alone so she asked if she could come back and watch over him after she changed her clothes and had dinner.

Nathan understood that she was really worried for J. So even if he didn't like it, he agreed to it but in one condition, he would come with her.

Eunji didn't argue with him about this because she's really tired.

While they were on the way home, Eunji leaned her head on Nathan's shoulder and her eyes were closed.

She was not cramping that much compared to earlier this morning. However, her period was heavier this time.

She was not able to change her pads earlier so now, she was leaking.

She closed her eyes as she felt embarrassed by the scene.

She was leaving a mess on Nathan's car.

Nathan sensed her discomfort and so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry. I stained up your seat cover." She said embarrassingly. If only she was not looking pale, she would surely be beet red by now.

"It's fine. This car needs a deep clean anyways. Right Marco?" Marco who had just taken this car from the car wash earlier awkwardly nodded his head in response.

"Right!"

"You don't have to lie for me to feel better." She could sense that they're lying.

"Alright. It's really fine."

Marco pulled over on their exclusive parking lot and went out of the car ahead of them to give the couple privacy.

Before they went out of the car, Nathan removed his jacket and let Eunji to wear it.

She had also worn back her skin mask.

Though they were in her exclusive parking lot of their penthouse apartment, she never dared to underestimate her enemies especially after what happened to J.

"Love, do you think Kelly will understand me?" She suddenly blurted out when they were inside their elevator.

"Of course, she will. She loves you. You know that."

"Yeah. That's why what I have been doing now hurts her even more." She faintly said.

"I can't say that what you said is wrong. Wifey, when you love a person, you'll be greatly affected with that person's action no matter how big or small that is."

Nathan then sighed as he hugged Eunji before he continued.

"And, I know that Kelly is one of those big-hearted people out there who will accept you against all odds."

"Yeah."

Nathan then immediately made their dinner while Eunji immediately went to their room to change her pad and into a clean set of clothes.

When she went out, Nathan was still slicing some vegetables while the rice was left cooking in the rice cooker.

"Can you wait for another hour?" He asked and then gave her the appetizer.

"Take your time."

Eunji settled down on the counter while watching Nathan cooking.

When Nathan was done, he immediately served the dinner and they ate it together.

After dinner, Eunji immediately changed her clothes since she would be going back to the hospital.

"Are you sure you still wanted to go? You're still pale, Wi-Love." Nathan was really worried for Eunji.

"I'm fine. How about you? You're probably so tired after a day of spending in the office and now you want to come with me to watch over J the entire night."

"Shh! I don't mind. As long as I'm with you."

So, Nathan and Eunji left the apartment together.

Nathan was driving the car while Eunji was sitting on the passenger seat.

Eunji took her phone and then she dialed the familiar phone numbers which she had remembered by heart.

Eunji was hoping that she was still using the same phone number.

Eunji heaved a sigh when she heard ringing on the other line.

It took a few rings before the call was answered.

"Hello?"

Eunji gulped when she heard the person from the other line.

"Hello?!"

"Kel, it's me."
