She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 390 - SHE'S THE BOSS

Now, he needed to leave to grow. When he left them to go back home, the two little girls clung to his legs and cried so much. They wanted to stop him from leaving but their mother and father took them away from him.

"I'll come and visit when I have time. I will also call when I'm not busy so, be good and help your mama and papa here, okay? Don't give them a headache and study hard, too."

"Promise you would come back?" Leslie questioned in between hiccups. Her eyes were swollen from crying while she was in her father's arms. "If you won't come back, I will go and find you in the big city."

"Promise. I promise that I will come back."

"When will you come back?" Jane asked as well as she blew her nose on the handkerchief that her mother handed her. "You should tell us the date so we can circle it on the calendar."

Dominic chuckled as he shakes his head from left to right. "Let me check." He pulled out his phone and checked his calendar. "I'll come and visit you every 3rd Sunday of the month. How's that?"

"Be sure to come. I will circle the 3rd Sunday of the month. If you won't come, I will keep calling you."

"Yes, yes, yes. I will come as promise." Dominic had to reassure these little girls again and again before they allowed him to leave. When he stepped inside the car, Martin couldn't stop laughing.

"You're very well-liked with these kids." He commented while starting the engine of the car. "You must have spent so much time with them."

Dominic looked at his best friend and his family who were standing at the door. The two little girls were having their smalls hands at him. He opened the car window and waved them good bye. "I've been with them for three years now. Most of the time, Marnie would help his father in the farm and his mother is working in a convenience store. I'd be left to look after them. I learned to cook because of them because they have sensitive taste buds. We didn't get along so well at first because they thought I was taking away their brother. And I don't quite remember it now but we just started to play together with their little toys and then, they'd start looking for me to play a tea party. They were poor but they didn't hesitate to take me in. I'm so glad to have met this family."

"It's because you're a good person." Martin replied to Dominic. "By the way, don't forget to inform the madam that you're coming home."

"Hn. I'll give them a call now."

On their way back from dinner, Cayenne received a call from Dominic and was told about what has transpired. She liked knowing that everyone's having a good time and that their life was improving day after day.

Stefan and Cayenne sent his grandparents home with so many body guards following them. After making sure that they're all fine, the couple also left to go back to their own humble nest. Jonas already went upstairs to change his clothes while Kyle was still talking with Kath in the living room. As for Luiz, he was busy looking at the boxes in a small paper bag.

"Sis, I have something for you." Luiz called out and handed her a small box. "It's for your and brother-in-law."

She handed her bag to Stefan and opened the box right then and there. What greeted her were a matching set of phone straps or something that can be used as a keychain, too. Instead of thanking her brother, she narrowed her eyes towards her husband. "You didn't urge him to buy this because you can't buy it, did you?"

"No, I didn't." Stefan instantly replied while shaking his head. "You can ask Luiz about it."

Cayenne looked towards her brother, waiting for an answer from him. "I saw these when we bought some accessories and thought of getting one for Clarisse. I remembered that you two likes having matching items so, I decided to buy a pair for you two."

"So, this is really coming from you? He didn't tell you buy this?" Cayenne still asked, not believing the two of them. "You better not lie to me because I hate liars."

"Promise." Both Luiz and Stefan raised their hands and made a cross over their chest. They were so in sync that even Kyle couldn't stop himself from smirking. It was obvious that they were lying and Cayenne could tell it, too. Nonetheless, she didn't expose any of them.

It's true that she hates liars but she also knew what a while lie means. After all, she lied to her mother and brothers for their own good as well.

"Thank you for this." Cayenne rubbed her brother's head and smiled. "I like them so much."

"If I find something matching next time, I'll buy one for you and brother-in-law again." Luiz went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. "Hi. Are you the new chef?"

"Yes, sir. My name is Lucia."

"Come over here. I'll introduce you to your employers." Luiz smiled at the middle-aged lady and led him to the living room where Cayenne and Stefan was strapping the little items to their phone. "My name is Luiz, by the way. The man sitting in the living room is my older brother, Kyle."

"And that couple?" Lucia asked in whisper.

"They're your direct employers." Luiz led him towards Cayenne and Stefan. "Yen, I met our new chef." Luiz stated which caught their attention.

Cayenne stopped fiddling with her phone and placed it inside her bag once again. "Hello. I'm Cayenne Ardolf – Dumrique. I'm…uh…I own this property."

"She's the boss." Stefan casually mentioned, grinning from ear to ear when he saw Cayenne glaring at him.
