He soon became affluent business man and they shifted to mansion. Even in the midst of job frustrations, Ming never forgot his wife. He cared Joe as treasure. Even though the love was a great strength it would be tested by time and situations. 'All we can do is to hold each other hands and commute that strange path.'

Joe was happy in Ming's success. Finally his baby boy was proving the world his talents and as a  wife he was proud but still he  felt plight. He knew very well that Ming loved only him but sometimes he felt  it difficult to access the new circumstances. All these doubts started when Ming forgot hiss birthday. Ming as he was observed in his new project with Mahastav group forgot his wife's birthday. Joe even though he was sad tried to cheer himself. Ming remembered it after 1 week and showered Joe with a lot of sorry but all Joe reciprocated was a pale smile. As an attempt to cheer him, Ming took Joe for a dinner but to his dismay he had to invite one of his business associate who appeared there to join their table and that man without any remorse , accepted it. Ming felt Joe sometimes irrational as his pregnancy hormones were taking a toll on him. Joe as a pregnant person had a number of insecurities and all he wanted was a smile and consolation of Ming but never got it once.

Oneday Ming got invitation to a business family  party and he asked Joe to accompany him.

Ming - Phi Joe , get ready we have to go some where.

Joe - (excited) Really!!? can we go to our favorite Chinese restaurant.  Me and baby want to eat some spicy hot noodles. Naaa

Ming - ( smiles) We will but next time. Now we need to go to one business party.

Joe - What ? you know na, I really hate it Ming besides i have no one to talk when you go to  meet your friends.

Ming- ( cup his face) Sloka will be there. In fact she is the one who asked me to come.

Joe - (disappoint) Then you have to go  . I will join you next time.

Ming knew he made a great mistake by mentioning Sloka's name. From the beginning itself Joe unintentionally harbored hatred towards Sloka as Ming knew it was mainly because of him. Joe still afraid that one day Ming will eventually choose Sloka over him and that was a matter out of window. 

Ming -( my jealous chicken is on fire now , I better leave the place.) Okay then take rest.

Ming took his coat grabbed his car keys. He kissed Joe's  forehead and gave a little peck to his little parrot.

Ming - Moe , takke good care of Papa for Dada. I will reward you one spicy Chinese noodles.

He felt a kick and he rubbed his nose affectionately on Joe's tummy. He finally ruffled Joe's hair and left.

After a short commute , he reached the party spot at sharp time. It was more looked like a conference hall. All elite business men in Thailand was summoned there , his family too. Mr. Chahart saw Ming and smirked. Mee. Chahart wanted to talk to her son, as she was very much excited for her grandchild and son-in-law. Yes, as the time proceeded, she realised her mistake s and badly waited to amend all that but her fierce husband was not ready accept reality and she kept quiet. Everytime Ming and Joe went to chech up she also accompanied them and after so much drama, she obtained the ultrasound picture of her grandchild. She always kissed that picture with tears as she couldn't touch it and took care of Joe. She wanted to talk to Joe as well because of her stupidity she initially hated that poor boy. But unknown to her a person was watching all her secret activities with red eyes.
