Chapter 358 - 356: Reconciliation

Morning came and Eunji was already up very early.

More like she could not sleep since last night after thinking things through.

She had also started taking the medicine that Master Liu had prescribed to her in case her mind had become so noisy to the point that she would have the difficulty snapping from it.

She really thought she won't be taking this nameless drug since it was given to her by Master Liu two years ago.

She hated the thoughts running in her mind at the moment. And she's afraid she might lose herself.

Her children still needs her. So, she must not let them down. She had to be sane and come back fine as much as possible.

Eunji walked out of the room with those thoughts in mind.

Since there were no helpers living in the apartment, she decided to prepare their breakfast for the day.

When she entered the kitchen, she saw Kelly by the fridge with a glass of water in her hand surprisingly.

"Morning." Kelly greeted after seeing her by the doorframe.

"Morning." Eunji greeted back but it sounded cold.

However, Kelly was not discouraged by this cold treatment.

In fact, she should be the one treating Eunji coldly and not the other way around.

For the sake that she was unwell, Kelly gulped down her anger and decided to be more understanding of her friend.

The love and care she had for Eunji outweighed the anger and disappointment she had for her.

And besides, she could not bring herself to hate her longer.

She loved Eunji like a sister so she was hurting deep down being in this situation.

"I thought brother-in-law took you home last night." Eunji spoke first clearing out the awkward air between them.

"Nope. He knows I'm staying here with you so it's okay."

"Hey. What are you up to?" She tried to make a conversation between them early in the morning.

"Just trying to make breakfast for the four of us."

Celine asked her if Sam could come over last night and she agreed to it.

Kelly who heard that thought that it was a good sign. At least she was not locking herself inside her room, right?

"Do you need help?"

"Ahm. If you want to." Eunji said and Kelly smiled brightly like the sun which had just risen in the horizon.

"Are you sure you didn't want to go back to sleep?"

After all, Eunji knew that she's not a morning person.

"I'm all good." Kelly lied a little bit.

She was actually awaken by her morning sickness.

Now she thought it was for the best to hide her pregnancy to everyone. Especially to Eunji.

She didn't want her to be upset and think about her lost pregnancy.

They then started making breakfast.

They were making pancakes for breakfast topped with freshly cut fruits, syrup and whip cream.

"I'm sorry Kel." Eunji blurted out all of a sudden without looking at her.

"Don't. I don't want to ruin the mood. Okay?" Kelly said.

She didn't want to cry in front of Eunji given how sensitive her mood was at the moment.

She could only gulp down the lump that was forming in her throat at the moment.

But then, she decided to clarify what she had just said earlier.

"You don't have to say sorry. I have already forgiven you."

Eunji's hands halted and she looked at Kelly's side profile who was acting tough.

Without hesitation, Eunji gave Kelly a back hug and then whispered in her ear. "Thank you."

"Don't sweat it. I'm just disappointed for neglecting me this long. That's all. And forget the explanation. I don't want you to recall the reasons why you had to do it. I trust you." Kelly said almost in one go.

Then, Kelly turned around and seeing Eunji's sad face, tears started pouring out from her eyes.

"I hate you! You're making me cry early in the morning." She whined while Eunji were wiping the tears from her face.

"Geez! We're both mothers now yet I'm still this emotional."

Eunji chuckled a little after hearing that comment. But then tears started flowing from her eyes, too.

Kelly then gave Eunji a tight hug and the latter hugged her back.

"I miss you, so much!" Kelly said.

"Me, too." Eunji said with relief.

Eunji could feel that a thorn was lifted off from her chest.

"Don't ever do this again, okay? I swear I'll never talk to you ever again."

Kelly warned her seriously and Eunji hummed in response.

"Thank you."

"Seems like you both have reconciled already."

Celine said after witnessing this scene when she entered the kitchen.

Kelly and Eunji then broke off the hug and continued wiping each other's face.

"Yeah. I can't stand being angry with her this long. I feel like having an upset stomach should I continue that." Kelly said with a smile.

"Then, that's good news." Celine said in relief.

Sam also entered the kitchen and smiled when she saw the two being in good terms.

"Yeah. I can't wait for Xiao Yichen to meet his other godmother." Kelly suddenly blurted out.

Upon hearing that, Eunji started to feel anxious and hesitant.

"Oh. About that...I can't--"

Kelly however cut Eunji off and said, "I know. When you're ready."

Kelly knew how complicated the situation was.

She was sure that Mo Jing-sheng would tighten the security around them, too per Eunji's advice.

And besides, she didn't want to burden Eunji with the reunion.

"So, since you both are here, do you mind helping us in making pancakes?"

"Sure!"

They had decided to individually make their batter on how they liked it.

After they made the batter, Kelly then started pouring some on the small pan while the other three girls started slicing the fresh fruits that would be their toppings.

The last batter they made was without egg for Eunji and they cooked it separately.

When the pancakes were done, Sam and Celine started decorating them and then they moved to the table to start eating breakfast.

"So, what's your plan for the day Eunji-chan?"

"Will visit the KSA building later today."

"Oh, do you want me to accompany you?" Celine offered.

"No need. You should be reporting at Bai Corp. today, right? After all, you're going to be the acting CEO and Chairman for the meantime."

Celine immediately face-palmed herself when she heard her new responsibilities.

"Ah! Right! That!" Celine felt like she was crying.

"You really hated office jobs, don't you?" Sam commented while sipping her coffee.

"You have no idea." Kelly said dramatically said.

"Why though?" Kelly asked.

"I just don't like being caged in one place." Celine explained.

"You have a soul of an adventurer. That's why." Kelly told her.

"Maybe." Kelly sighed and then turned gloomy on her seats.

"You can do, it. He trusts that you can, so believe in yourself. And besides, Marco will be with you."

Eunji suddenly said before she excused herself out of the kitchen.

By seven in the morning, Celine left the penthouse together with Kelly.

Though she was reluctant to leave Eunji behind, she's also a mother and she received Mo Jing-sheng's message that Xiao Yuchen was crying since she didn't go home last night.

Before they parted, Eunji gave her a phone which they would be using in communicating from then on.

She also promised to meet them probably in disguise.

Sam decided to stay to give Eunji company.

Celine asked her to stay so she would have a peace of mind knowing that someone could look after Eunji while she was away.

"I know what you and Yukineechan were planning. You don't have to guard me Sam. I'll be fine."

"I know you'd say that. However, Celine will get mad at me should I just let you be."

"Fine. Suit yourself." Eunji gave up knowing that it was Celine's request.

Eunji then went to her room.

Eunji then grabbed her phone and saw many missed calls from Sofie.

Eunji gave it a thought for a while if she would call them or not.

She didn't want them to see her this down.

Especially when the triplets were so sensitive when it comes to her.

Her phone rang again and on the last minute, she decided to answer the video call request.

"Eomma!" Sophie cheered in joy after seeing her face. But then her face turned concerned when she saw Eunji's sullen face.

"Eomma, why are you sad? Aren't you happy that I called? Did I disturb you, Eomma? I'm sorry."

"Hey! No baby. Eomma's just can't get over the movie that I watched earlier."

"Oh? Really?"

"O."

"Then don't be sad, I'm here now." Sophie said in comfort.

"Where's you siblings by the way?"

"They're downstairs. Grandmas are with them. They're baking."

"Why didn't you join them? They must be having fun downstairs."

"It's okay. I'll go down after this call. I just missed you, Eomma."

"Thank you baby."

The call lasted for a while especially when the other two learned that she was on the phone.

The kids were very delighted receiving Eunji's call that they didn't get tired telling her what happened to them since yesterday.

And Eunji felt happy knowing that they're fine.

They missed her so much.

After that call, Eunji's mood brightened up for the better.

When the call ended, Eunji went to the bathroom to shower.

Meanwhile, Sophie called Celine's number.

When the call connected Sophie could hear Celine's worried voice.

"How was it?"

"Eomma's still sad Auntie Mom."

"Oh, so she picked up the call?"

"She did."

"Sophie, do you hate your Appa for leaving your Eomma suddenly?" Celine asked her niece.

"I don't know. Eomma's hurting because of what he did but Oppa Li Jun said that Appa had his reason. Should I not hate Appa then?"

Sophie felt conflicted on what to feel about this.

Meanwhile, Celine was speechless.

"Ahm, at least you should be disappointed.." Li Wei who was listening to their call butted in.
