“Mommy!” Millie greeted me with a hug as soon as she saw me outside her school. “What are you doing here?”

After my meeting with Engineer Lucas, I drove straight here to pick her up, just as I planned. “I promised to cook for you and Reid today, right? So I clocked out earlier today than usual.”

“Hello, Mrs. Andrius,” Reid greeted me with a smile.

I laughed. “You are still too formal, Reid. You can just call me Aunty, okay?”

His cheeks blushed and turned away his glance but nodded in response.

“Anyway, aside from picking the two of you up, I intended to meet Reid’s parents.”

They suddenly turned their heads on me and stared at me. There was a hint of worry in their eyes, then they looked at each other.

“What is it, kids?” I asked.

“Mom…” Millie held my hand. “Reid’s mother is very mean. Especially to the people she doesn’t like.”

“And you are saying that because?”

Reid sighed and looked at me. “My mom doesn’t want me to associate with people outside our circle. And since she met Milli

    We hired a lot of new sales associates and that helped us with the overwhelming amount of customers in the shop. And because of that, we finally had a space to breathe after handling a lot of workload these past few months.To make up for everyone with the massive workload that we even required them to take overtime every day, we scheduled two-day and one-night company outings.It was a sudden decision that is why we chose to hold our vacation in a nearby resort. It is within the city and Enver said that it was owned by one of his friends. He was the one who took care of our room reservation, together with the cottage and restaurants.And I took care of the bus that everyone rides to the location. Of course, this vacation is not only for our employees. We included everyone’s family to be with this vacation to make up for the busy schedule we had before.“Yah!” Mikea shouted as we arrived at the resort. “I can finally have a day to relax.”“Are you sure it is okay for us to be here?”

    Everyone settled into their room and since our event will be held later before dinner, we let them do what they want for their free time.Enver and I, together with our friends, decided to stay in the front restaurant of the hotel not far from the seaside. We can see Millie and Reid from here happily playing around with the other kids there.“We finally had time together.” Enver put his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him, then he put his chin on my shoulder. “We should have done this earlier.”“We are too busy with our job these past months because of the good feedback we got since the partnership we had with Anox and the launch of our new payment method,” I said. “So this kind of leisure time only comes right on time.” I sighed. “I am just glad that we managed to do something to organize the arrival of our new client before the opening of the fourth branch of Raiden.”Aside from sales associates, we also hired a lot of sales agents and we set up some displays in different

    “Dash!” My eyes widened when I bumped into Dashiel in the elevator. “What are you doing here? I thought you had a meeting?”I invited him to this vacation but at the last minute, he said he couldn’t come because he had an urgent meeting that he needed to attend.But from what I can see, he just arrived here since his luggage was still with him.He scratched his head and sighed. “I managed to finish my meeting so I could join you,” he said. “This rarely happens so I don’t want to miss it.”“You should have told us,” I said. “I thought you would never make it so Castiel took the room that I reserved for you.”He smiled and messed up my hair. “It is okay, Milan. I already got my reservation ahead of time because I really have plans to come late. I just didn’t mention it to you so you won’t expect it in case I couldn’t finish my job.”I stared at him.These past few days, I noticed that there was something wrong with his mood. He looked like he had some problem but he didn’t want us to wo

    I left Millie under Ferry and Castiel’s care since she was still sleeping and we went to the restaurant located at the side of the hotel. As far as I know, this is the only place in the entire resort that doesn’t have a lot of people so I suggested it to Amethyst.When we arrived, we saw her sitting in the corner, where people wouldn't notice her.She smiled as soon as we got near her and stood up. “I am sorry for making you go all the way here because of my sudden reaction earlier.”I shook my head. “It is okay.” We sat in front of her. “You don’t have friends, right? Aside from the parents of your husband and your family, Enver was the only one who believed that you didn't know anything about the disappearance of your husband.”She was stunned. “H-how did you know?”I avoided her eyes and put my chin in my hand. “I just know it,” I said. “Anyway, the two of you can catch up. I won’t intervene and you don’t have to mind me. You can pretend that I am not here.”“Mi…”I looked at them

    We stayed at the restaurant for just an hour. We just talked about other things about us and our plans and after that, we decided to go back to where our friends were.Amethyst decided to go back to her office since she still had some things that needed to be done for the day. She was just on her break and she didn’t want to spoil our vacation here but she promised to visit us soon.I don’t mind because after talking to her, the awkwardness around us slowly disappeared. I guess, I just really need to get to know her more.“I learned something.” Castiel showed her phone in front of me. “That Amethyst girl was bullied in social media and her previous work. They branded her as a husband killer when she became a suspect in its disappearance.”“Seriously?” Enver raised his eyebrows at us. “If you want to know anything about Amy, you can just ask me, Cas. She already told me everything about that.”Castiel turned to my husband. “Please don’t look at it in the wrong way, En. I am not doing t

    Enver lifted me and laid me down in our bed. He said that I should just rest and stopped me from going back downstairs since Millie would surely be okay together with Ferry and Castiel.I didn’t complain because I know that I really need some time to rest. I almost passed out earlier because of my headache and I can’t just ignore it.“Are you sure you are okay?” Enver asked after giving me a glass of water. “We can go to the resort’s infirmary.”I shook my head and drank the water before giving it back to him. “I just need a few minutes rest and I will be perfectly fine.”He sighed and sat beside me. “I am sorry for bringing it up. I didn’t expect that this would happen to you.”“It is okay,” I assure him. “You have the right to know about this because it is part of my past. I just can’t really tell it to you in detail because I keep getting a headache from trying to remember everything.”“Don’t worry about that, Mi.” He caressed my cheeks. “Just rest.”“If you want to know the detail

I am already feeling alright so I think we can’t let this vacation go to waste just because of me.Millie immediately approached us as soon as she saw us. She ambushed us with a tight hug and I know that it is her way of saying that she is worried about me.So, I gave her a lot of kisses to let her know that I was okay.Enver lifted her and brought her to the seaside and played with the other kids and guys there. And I went to Ferry and Castiel who were only sitting in the sun lounge.“Did you tell him everything?” Ferry asked me.I sat beside them and shook my head. “I just told him the minor details.” I fixed my eyes on Enver and Millie while playing in the sea. “Not that I don’t want to tell him but my headache keeps attacking me whenever I dive too deep into my memories of that incident.” I sighed and turned my head to them. “And because of that, he stopped asking and didn’t force me to say anything else.

    “How long do we have to walk like this?” I asked Ferry and Castiel while guiding me as I walked with blindfolds in my eyes. They told me earlier that they had a surprise for me so I had to keep it like this until we arrived at our destination.I just got from Amethyst’s parents and I talked to them about what we can do to help her in facing her situation. They are also worried about the future of their daughter so they decided to cooperate with me after ensuring that the process will never hurt her.After we discussed that, my friends picked me up and drove away. Before we could even arrive at our destination, they put this blindfold on me.“We are getting close so please relax there,” Ferry said.“But we have been like this for hours,” I complained. “Why did you even think of giving a sudden surprise?”“It is not our idea,” Castiel said. “Though we chipped in some ideas we were not the mastermind of this. It was your husband who proposed this surprise for you.”“I guess he took advan

    I never really imagined that this kind of thing would happen right in front of my eyes. When I was here, together with Enver’s family. Having a nice and chill conversation with them, without pretending that they like me.For the first time, I feel like I am part of this family and they finally accepted me as their son’s wife.After we finished our dinner, we decided to continue our conversation in the living room. We took our drinks with us and I offered them to stay here for tonight because I know that they also want to catch up with Enver.Ferry went home a little while ago. Lainz didn't want her to stay late so he went here to pick her up. Castiel decided not to join us here to give us more time to be with each other and she went upstairs to sleep in one of the guest rooms I prepared for her.Enver and I were having a conversation with his siblings, while his parents were busy with Millie and they were unwrapping their gifts for her.“What?” Enver said to his siblings. “Enish divor

    I thought Enver would refuse to have a talk with his family to settle their issue. But that didn’t happen and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw him guiding them in the garden where they were going to talk.Millie and I started preparing the dining table because we would eat our dinner after their conversation.“Eh? Seriously?” Ferry said after Castiel told her that my in-laws said sorry to me. “Are they even sincere?” She looked at me. “Not just some scheme because they are afraid to upset you because they know that you have the power to forbid them from approaching Millie again.”“That is the first thing that came to my mind earlier.” I put a plate full of kiwi with a side sauce of spicy ketchup in front of her. This is what she has been craving for ever since she got pregnant. “It feels like they were sincere. And Erwin vouch for that.”“Oh well,” Castiel said. “It doesn’t really matter now if they were sincere or not. They already experienced such shame because of their evil sch

    “Are you even breathing?” Castiel whispered to me while we were looking at the car that stopped in front of our house. “You don’t have to be nervous, right? They were just your in-laws.”I glared at her. “I am not nervous.” I rolled my eyes. “I am just composing myself to avoid the awkwardness that we might feel later.” I turned my attention to the car when Enver opened it.He was the one who greeted our guest outside the gate. Ferry stayed inside while Castiel and I stood in front of the door, together with Millie who was holding my hand.Don Emil and Madame Venice came out of the car, with their usual posture. Well, I guess not a lot of people can change after a long time.They were carrying a lot of paper bags, marked with luxury brands, and I think it contained toys that they were going to give to Millie.She chuckled. “If you say so,” she said. “But I didn’t expect that they would also bring two of Enver’s siblings.” We both turned our eyes to the other car that just arrived and

    I locked myself inside the bathroom while looking at the five pregnancy test kits that Castiel bought earlier.I already got its result and it all showed the same thing. And I am overwhelmed with the emotions that I am feeling right now.I do have a plan to conceive another child if Enver agrees because I really want Millie to have a sibling. But I didn’t expect that heaven would immediately answer my desire.Yes, I am pregnant. The five test kits in front of me showed positive signs.“Milan!” Ferry shouted outside the door. “Your husband is here. And your maids already told him that you have been locking yourself up inside there. So, don’t be shocked if he tries to destroy this door.”I grabbed two of the test kits and opened the door. At the same time, Enver also entered the room with concern in his eyes.“What is happening here?” he asked. He came to me but before he could hold me, I immediately showed him the result of the one test kit.He frowned as he looked at that but didn’t s

    “Mommy!”I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Millie jumping on top of our bed while calling me.“Wake up, Mommy! It is already morning.” She stopped jumping when she saw that I was already awake and she sat beside me. “Good morning, my beautiful mommy.” She kissed my cheeks. “Daddy is preparing our breakfast.”I smiled and pulled her closer to me. “Let’s sleep some more, baby.” I kissed her neck and tickled her side which made her laugh.“Mom! Don’t tickle me!” She tried to get away from me but I hugged her tight so she couldn't do anything but laugh. “Mommy! Please stop!”“Hey…”I stopped tickling Millie and we both turned our heads at the door. We saw Enver entering the room with a tray full of food in his hand. We immediately got up and took the pillow out of his way.“Breakfast in bed for my lovely ladies.” He put the tray in bed and kissed Millie and my forehead. “Let’s eat here so you don’t have to get up.”“Well, I am still sleepy but this little lady woke me up to have breakfast
