Ch. 277 / 308 Apr 01, 2025

"Why did you just say now that it's your event? I hope I can at least prepare the suits for you to wear," Miracle said while packing her husband's clothes.

"My secretary just told me about that fucking event a while ago. You can't blame me. Just fix it there," his wife replied to him.

The woman took a deep breath before looking back at her husband. "You choose your suits, I don't know the types to use."

Trigger immediately stood beside her. It turned to the tuxedos in front.

"What's the matter with me?" It's a cold question.

Miracle frowned. "You're handsome, any clothes suit you."

Trigger smirked with her answer. "You find me handsome?"

"Sure. Don't you know that yourself?"

"Of course I am fucking aware. It just sounds good hearing that from you." It passed him while still smiling.

Miracle stared at her husband unbelievably. He didn't know what wind was blowing on it and it suddenly became kind to him. Did it bump somewhere?

"I'll be back, just have to answer this call from that stupid manager," Trigger said coldly.

The man walked closer to the door of their room to open it, but the two of them immediately frowned when the man slapped the opening.

"Why?" Miracle asked softly before stepping closer to her husband.

Trigger tried opening the door again but it's locked.

"Fuck. What the hell is happening," he groaned heavily.

"Wait, why are you so aggressive in opening up? It's right there," Miracle calmly groaned and moved slightly further away from the man.

Trigger gave way to her. "Tsk, let's see if you can open it by yourself."

He just ignored the man in the back. Miracle also tried to turn the door but he slammed.

Trigger gently rebuffed him. "Wait, why are you so slow to open. Beside that," he mocked her.

Miracle just pouted her lips before taking a step back. He just let his wife fix that door.

"Fuck. Come with me, touch me," the man said softly as he kicked the door furiously.

"You can't open that door by kicking it. It's a digital door, it opens on the outside when you input the code," Miracle said.

"I know."

Trigger rolled his eyes at her in a manly way.

Silently Miracle just sat on the bed and watched the wife in front.

"Give me my phone, I'll call my secretary."

She immediately grabbed his phone on the side table as she handed it to him.

No one thinks Trigger typed on the cellphone before the caller answered.

"Hey. Yeah, it's me. Come here to my house, my wife and I were locked inside our room and we can't open this fucking door. Yeah."

The woman immediately approached the man when he dropped the call. "You called for help?"

He nodded his head. "We can only open this door if someone opens it from the outside."

Trigger sat on the floor and leaned on the door behind him. He looked up at the woman who was just standing in front of him.

"What are you doing there? Sit beside me. You're going to be there, fool," he said coldly.

Miracle pointed out the bed. "We can sit there."

Trigger pointed to the space beside him. "Sit here," he said stiffly.

Miracle could do nothing but sit next to the man. She sat quietly while waiting for her husband to say something.

"How's your childhood days, Miracle?" Trigger asked out of nowhere.

The woman immediately looked at it. "Are you?"

Trigger nodded before smiling sparingly at the absence. "It's enjoyable. Especially that I had my brothers by my side back then. It's really a good experience."

"Do you miss them?"

"Kind of. I never had a chance to talk to them again."

"I'm pretty sure they're amazing like you," Miracle said with a smile on her face.

The wife turned to him. "I am not like them. They're almost perfect."

"You are amazing, for me. I'm sure everyone admires you for being the CEO of a big empire at your young age. You're smart, Trigger, you're not intimidated by anyone so I'm sure many admire you. I am one of them, "she answered.

Trigger gazed at her. "How about you?"

"What?"

"Your childhood. How about you?"

Miracle awkwardly points at herself. "Me? I have nothing to tell you. My childhood days are not that happy and enjoyable, it's not something that I can be proud of."

"Why?

She smiled bitterly while remembering those days. Since he was a child, he has been beaten and his parents have been talking to him about various things.

"It's a nightmare," she whispered softly.

The astonishment on his wife's face was obvious as she looked back at it. "Nightmare? Why? Did your parents hit you?"

She shook her head, trying to cover up her parents' mistakes. "They never did. A lot just happened to me before, I don't want to tell you anymore, but my childhood wasn't really good. So I'm glad you were happy when you were young. At Least I can breathe properly that you had an amazing childhood. "

He chuckled. "It's not that amazing. Our parents trained us hard. We suffered also from those sleepless nights. But I enjoyed it."

"Your parents are amazing, Trigger. I really like them."

"Don't you like your own parents?"

Miracle shook her head. "I love them. I'm just amazed by how your parents treat other people. They treat me like I'm their daughter. My own parents couldn't even trust me, it's a relief that tita Yians and tito Cronus trust me. I envy you for having them. " She smiled bitterly.

"If I become a mother soon, I'll take care of my children the way I want to be treated. Every child deserves that," she added.

Trigger faked a cough. "You want to have a child soon?"

Miracle gulped. She wanted to tell Trigger about their baby. But he is reluctant to admit it.

She was about to open her mouth to tell Trigger about her pregnancy when the door suddenly opened. They immediately moved away from there.

"Boss, did I last long?" Trigger's secretary is already here.

The man looked at his wife before shaking his head. "No."

Trigger grabbed his luggage on the bed before giving it to his secretary. He turned to Miracle.

"I'll be back tomorrow. Cook dinner for me."

She smiled sweetly before nodding her head.
