"Now can you tell me?

" He asked her.

n

"What's this?

" Kim Eunji asked as she looked at the silver Princess cut diamond ring on her left ring finger.

n'It's not what I think it is, right?' She thought as she looked at the ring and to the side profile of the man behind her.

nNathan inhaled her scent once again and tried his best to calm down.

n

"It's a promise ring.

"

n'It's pretty.' Kim Eunji thought.

nKim Eunji heaved a huge sigh of relief the moment she heard what that' ring represents.

n

"But if you want to wear an engagement ring, I can give it to you tomorrow.

" He casually said as he closed his eyes while his chin was resting on top of her left shoulder.

n

"How can you be so casual about this?

" She suddenly blurted out out of disbelief.

n

"Why not?

" He asked back.

n

"Because marriage is something that bounds two lovers. It's a sacred thing Nathan. You know better, it's not a game.

" She tried her best to explain.

n

"I'm not taking marriage casually.

" He refuted.

n

"It's you that I'm marrying. How can I take it so casually? Of course not. Eunji-yah, from the very first time I laid my eyes on you, my soul knew you're the one. And besides, I think you're someone who disliked flashy proposals.

" He continued to explain.

nDid she really disliked it?

nShe never had that in mind until he asked.

n

"Yeah. But it doesn't mean I'll say yes to your proposal.

" She refuted.

n

"Whether you say yes or not, it doesn't matter. You're already bound to me. Mine.

" Though Nathan uttered those words with his playful voice, but Kim Eunji could feel the possessiveness in it.

n

"Now, don't try to divert the topic love. How many kids do you want us to have?

" He added. time.

n

"Consider... I only say I might consider telling you. I didn't say I will certainly tell you.

" She tried to argue but it was hopeless.

n

"Believe me or not, I have more than a million ways to let you say it. And that my dear, I'm sure you won't like my ways.

" Nathan warned as he held her hand this time.

n

"--__--

" Kim Eunji gulped.

n

"Hmm?

" Nathan hummed as he patiently waited for her response.

n

"I don't know. I don't have any sibling so I could not really tell if the number of children that I'll be having matters.

" She said naturally. She didn't realize she was this comfortable enough to talk this kind of topic with him.

n

"How about you?

" She asked him back.

n

"Me? Three? Five? Or perhaps a dozen.

" He grinned while saying those words.

n

"What?! Nathan! I'm not a baby making machine for heaven's sake!

" Kim Eunji yelled at him.

n

"Hahahahhahaha!

" Nathan laughed.

n

"Why are you laughing?

" Kim Eunji asked him.

n

"Nothing. You just looked adorable when you're angry.

" Nathan confessed.

nKim Eunji then slapped Nathan's shoulder.

n

"Are you okay now?

" Nathan finally asked her when she leaned on his broad shoulder.

n

"Yeah. Thank you.

" She said.

n

"No worries. I love you.

" He said.

n

"En,

" was her only reply.

n

"How I wish everything will be like this in the future. So peaceful.

" Nathan uttered though he knew it's just a wishful thinking. Everything will be back to normal when they went back to Beijing.

n

"Yeah.

" She agreed.

n

"I promise you, I'll make time for us in the future.

" Nathan uttered. Kim Eunji did not answer him as she was feeling the moment.

nThey stayed in that position for quite some time until Nathan's phone suddenly buzzed.

n

"Aren't you going to answer that?

" Kim Eunji nudged him.

nNathan groaned in frustration as he didn't want to break the atmosphere around them.

nHe then took his phone and answered not minding who was the caller.

nKim Eunji carefully studied his every reaction as he listened on the call.

nHe didn't speak. He only listened.

n

"Done?

" She asked as he ended the call.

n

"What's wrong?

" She asked as his mood suddenly changed after the call.

n

"Nothing.

" Nathan shortly answered. It was already obvious that something was bugging him.

nKim Eunji decided to not asked him anymore.

n

"I'll be flying to France tomorrow. Will you be able to manage in going back to Beijing alone?

" He asker her. As what they have agreed, they were about to leave Japan to look for that expert who would treat Grandma Sana's illness the day after tomorrow. She was already given the clearance to travel by her physician.

nNathan was worried that she's unfamiliar with the place because she lost her memory.

n

"I can manage. I've been traveling to Beijing back and forth in the past.

" Nathan heaved a huge sigh of relief. However, he was reluctant to part with her. For the last few days, he made sure to never let her be out of his sight. He didn't realize that he was already used to her presence around him. He hoped to bring her there with him but he decided not to since it was not safe.

n

"What time will you be leaving tomorrow?

" She asked him.

n

"First thing in the morning.

" Kim Eunji could feel that the trip was very important to him.

nThe two decided to stay a little longer at the park just while leaning to each other.

nIt was already dusk when they went bacl to the MJ's City.

nNathan brought her to one of luxurious brands in the world to pick some clothes to wear for their dinner.

nHe had already arranged for their dinner together.

nKim Eunji was then brought to a private room on the mall's top floor where a team of beauticians were helping her to doll-up.

nKim Eunji felt shy as she still had the stitches on her head down to her forehead.

nBut these people did not mind it at all. They were even excited to work with her.

n

"Beautiful!

" They praised Kim Eunji's beauty

nShe was then blindfolded and was brought to the venue pf their dinner.

nNathan who had been on the place patiently waiting for her to arrive was stunned to see Kim Eunji's appearance.

n

"Beautiful.

" He whispered but Kim Eunji heard that.

nKim Eunji was wearing an off-shoulder royal blue knee-length dress that hugged her curves really well. She paired the dress with a nude 3-inch heeled shoes. Her hair was tied in a messy bun with some stray hairs on the side of her face. Her small face did not wear much make-up as it was unnecessary. In fact, those beauticians were disappointed as they felt like her beauty was an insult to their line of work.

nShe was only wearing blush-on and red lipstick on her lips. He eye brows and eye lashes were already perfect.

n

"You looked good too Nathan.

" Kim Eunji returned the compliment. He was wearing a grey suit and pants. He looked like a model...No, a prince who had just came out from the books to look for his beloved.

nTheir dinner was set up on the roof deck of MJ City. He thought that Kim Eunji would enjoy eating there with him.

n

"What's the occasion?

" Kim Eunji asked after she took her seat.

n

"Do we need an occasion just to dine outside in a fancy set up?

" He asked back.
