She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 451 - THE LETTER

"Good morning, ma'am. Good morning, sir." They greeted in unison with great enthusiasm.

"Morning." Stefan responded while Cayenne only smiled. "I'll get you a glass of milk." Stefan helped his wife sat on a chair before preparing a warm milk for her.

"Justin, can you get me the scissors please." Cayenne requested while looking at the letter in her hand. After receiving the scissors, she cut one side of the letter to get what's inside the envelope. "Hmm?"

"What is it?" Stefan asked not far from her. "Who sent it?"

"My brother." She simply stated as she dialed Luiz' number. "What's the meaning of this? You make me feel nervous early in the morning."

"What did I do? Shouldn't you congratulate me instead?"

"Congratulate your face! I was so nervous that I don't have the mood to congratulate you now."

Hearing her words, Stefan picked up the letter and read it. Apparently, it was the admission letter that Luiz received from Trine Elite University after passing the entrance examination. Instead of telling his sister right away, he placed it on a letter and gave it to her.

"Congratulations, Luiz." Stefan stated knowing that Cayenne's phone will be able to pick up his voice. "I knew you can do it."

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Luiz responded not even sure if Cayenne put the call on a loud speaker or not.

"Come down here this instant." Cayenne mumbled and ended the call. 'He made me nervous then, I'll do the same.' Cayenne put down her phone and drank the glass of milk that Stefan gave her. She crossed her arms across her chest and has an expression of displeasure across her chest.

Stefan knew that she was only pretending so, he didn't say anything about it. He sat right beside her and waited for Luiz to come down.

"Sis." Luiz called out for her even before getting to the kitchen. "Sis, sorry." Luiz directly apologized as soon as he saw her. "I didn't mean to make you feel nervous. I just wanted to surprise you a little."

Watching his anxious and regretful face, Cayenne couldn't continue her acting anymore. A smile appeared on her face and she threw and apple to him. "Congratulations for passing."

"You're not upset?"

"Why shold I be upset?" she chuckled and stepped down from her seat. Cayenne approached her brother and held his hands with hers. "I'm so proud of you. Mama must be happy to see your achievements, too."

"It's because you always supported us." Luiz responded and hugged his sister like how he used to. "Thank you so much for all your effort."

"I'm glad I'm able to support you." The two of them hugged for a while when Cayenne remembered something. "Speaking of letter, didn't you tell me that there was a letter for me?"

Luiz pulled away from his sister with a deep frown on his face. "A letter for you? When did I say that?"

"You told me about it when Stefan and I came home from Italy."

"Right!" Luiz jumped when realizing it, too. "I placed it on your drawer back in the apartment. Didn't you see it?"

"No, I didn't."

"You must have packed it along with everything in your drawer."

"No, there wasn't any letter when I packed my things. Well, there was a letter but it was the one I got from Jill over a year ago. I didn't see anything new."

"That's weird." Luiz thought as hard as he could but he really remembered putting it on his sister's drawer. "I'll try to check my belongings. Maybe I remembered wrong. I'll try to check for it."

"O-okay. Thank you." Cayenne sat back once again to drink the remaining milk on her glass. "Do you remember who the sender was?"

"There was no information but it was clearly addressed to you."

"Why do I keep getting letters without the sender's information?" Cayenne mumbled to herself.

Stefan was worried of this, too. He pulled his wife close to her and gently rubbed her shoulders. "Don't think too much about it. Anyway, since Lucia and her daughters are making our lunch, do you mind walking with me at the garden?"

"Let's go." Cayenne finished the milk and pulled her husband, leaving the kitchen to have a walk at their garden. Erwin was currently watering the flowers when the two of them came out.

"Morning, young miss. Morning, sir Stefan."

"Good morning, Erwin." Cayenne greeted while she walked hand-in-hand with her husband.? "How's your new work? Have you adjusted to it already?"

"Hn. It's not so difficult as long as you get the jest of it. I'm actually enjoying it."

"That's good to know." Stefan responded to Erwin's comment. "Don't take it to hard since you've got subordinates who can work with you. Well then, my wife and I will be strolling around."

Erwin just nodded his head and watched them leave to walk around their house.

The sun was bright and the sky was blue. It wasn't showing any sign of incoming rain. A new day, a new hope; Cayenne felt refreshed even though she hadn't taken a bath yet.

Outside their sweet and loving worlds, Cayenne's name became the new trending once again. Pictures of her kissing another man, shopping with someone else and having coffee with someone else, all pictures from yesterday was uploaded on the website.

'Mr. Dumrique got cheated.'

'The affair of Mrs. Dumrique.'

'Mr. Montefalco and Mrs. Dumrique's secret affair.'

'Cheating', 'affari', 'third-party' and such was tarnishing Cayenne's name while she was appreciating the beautiful day. She still had no idea of what was happening. Many people were scolding her on the net and many of her followers and subscribers left. People cursed her without knowing the truth of the incident.

As for Natsu, he only watched the news unfolding in front of him, not stopping and not adding anything either. He was just waiting for them to respond. 'That woman was really a great tool to expend. Even after I left her, she still continued to do this plan.'
