"But Trigger, go ahead, I also want them to be with mommy and daddy," Miracle insisted while using her calm voice.

Earlier she had been forcing her husband to take her parents on vacation, but she continued to refuse.

"Baby, they have a lot of work to do and they won't make it. I'm sure they want to be with you too but their schedule is tight," he said.

She just pouted her lips. But inwardly he knew that his wife was just slipping through.

"I'll just k-talk to them, maybe they'll agree," she said.

Trigger sighed as he sat beside her. The man gently stroked her hair and smiled. "Do you really want to include them?"

Miracle immediately nodded her head.

"Okay." He kissed her on the forehead and smiled. "I'll do my best to convince them. What my baby wants, my baby gets."

Her cheeks blushed with what he said. He even laughed and beat his wife's chest and hugged her.

"Thank you! I promise that we'll enjoy our vacation. I won't scold you anymore," he said.

"When did you scold me?" laughed this question as he caressed her cheek.

"In Cebu, I forced you to go there. Then I forced you to eat something, I didn't know you had allergies," he said.

Her husband just shook his head before letting out a laugh. "My allergy attack has nothing to do with you, baby. Stop blaming yourself for it. And I overcame my fear in Cebu because of you."

She smiled sweetly.

"Okay! All right, go to your sister. I'll just send Cesar to Shanelle."

"You always want to see Shanelle. I'm starting to get jealous, baby."

He lightly stroked the man's chest.

"Because Shanelle said she would show me the pictures of us before. She can't leave their house because her children are there. So I'll just go," she said excitedly. He even squeezed his wife's cheek slightly. "And don't get jealous over Shanelle, she's my friend and she's a woman. You're my wife, aren't you?"

The man nodded like a child before it pierced his neck. "I love you."

She hugged his body with the same velocity. "I love you too."

Trigger kissed her cheek again before she stood up on the seat.

"I'll go now, baby. Dagger is waiting for me already, maybe later I'll be shot for impatience. Just text me later, I'll pick you up."

He nodded quickly to his wife and kissed her cheek as well. "Take care! I'm going to get dressed in the bedroom. Be careful."

She hurriedly ran to the bedroom after saying goodbye to the man. When she sat down on the bed, she quickly took out her phone to call Dra. Haley.

"Hey."

"What's the matter?"

"I've already talked to Trigger. Olivia and Benedict will be with us on our vacation. You can make your move while we're away. Do everything to find those files regarding the case I said. I'll take care of the rest," she said. answered.

"Got it. We'll take care of everything."

"Take care, Haley. I can't wait to get out of this house too so I'm in a hurry."

"I know, Miracle. You can finally rest after our plans."

Shanelle visited her wife right after Miracle came back.

Trigger stood up to greet Shanelle. He greeted her back before approaching his wife.

"Hi, Shanelle!" Miracle's happy greetings here.

"Hello! I'll be the first to talk to you now, huh? Because your husband is leaving, it's true that Eric is also with me," the woman replied.

"How are your children? Who will take care of them?" Miracle asked worriedly. Shanelle immediately shook her head.

"Mama and papa will take care of them. Then don't worry, my children are big again," he replied with a laugh.

Trigger stared at his wife deeply who's smiling sweetly. When he saw her turn to him, he immediately smiled at her.

He never mentioned anything about Shanelle's life. He warned Shanelle not to talk about her family and kids. So he knew that no one else could tell his wife that his friend had children.

That day, his mind just went blank. He did not know what to think and understand.

He's doubting his thoughts but he finally confirmed everything when Miracle insisted on going to Cebu, when he heard her talking to Doctora Haley over the phone as she thought that he's not around, when she planned to trigger his allergies.

He knew everything

But he still did his best to give the perfect vacation for her even if he's suffering from the inside.

"Yeah. I'll hang up now."

He dropped the call after saying that. He immediately went to the walk-in-closet to change his clothes. She almost forgot that she needs to meet Shanelle, maybe later her husband will wonder when she is not there.

Trigger bit his lower lip when he realized that he forgot the car key in their bedroom. He immediately entered the house while adjusting the collar. He did not want to disturb his wife so he slowly climbed the stairs.

He was about to enter the room when he heard his wife talking over the phone. He paused in front of the door to listen to it.

He immediately heard Miracle's cold voice. "I've already talked to Trigger. Olivia and Benedict will be with us on our vacation. You can make your move while we're away. Do everything to find those files regarding the case I said. I'll take care of the rest."

He leaned against the wall to hear more of what it had to say.

"Take care, Haley. I can't wait to get out of this house too so I'm in a hurry."

"Yeah. I'll hang up now."

His eyes wandered around as silence took over. He closed his eyes tightly before entering the room and hurriedly took the car key.

He did not show up to his wife because she might be surprised. He just went straight out and got in the car.

His heart's still beating abnormally, because of pain. The same feeling he felt over the past five years.

When he got away from the mansion he quickly turned the steering wheel and parked on the side of the road. He held his chest while clenching his fists.

He knew.

Since the very start.

But he's still hoping.

He knew his wife was just pretending from the beginning but he still hoped that everything would change.

He can clearly recall that exact day whenShanelle visited her wife right after Miracle came back.
