She's My Sleeping Pill

“I’d love to participate as well. I’m excited for the clothes.”

Stefan already had an inkling that she would agree but hearing the words coming from her really made him happy.

At the same time, he thought about the other part of the proposal. The marketing director asked him if they could model with their kids in the future. It has something to do with their future and although he likes to model with Cayenne, he wasn’t sure if he would enjoy it with the baby. He felt like the child would take his wife away.

“What are you thinking?” She inquired when Stefan suddenly turned silent. “Are you having business issues again?”

“Not really. I’m just thinking that you will be so busy in the future and you won’t probably have time with me anymore.”

“What’s that?” Cayenne snorted and flicked his forehead. “How could you think that way? I will always find time to spend with you. Don’t even think for one second that our quality time will be taken away.”

“Promise?”

“Hn. I promise.”

.....

Stefan was always afraid that Cayenne will be taken away from him and it caused him to be extra careful and vigilant. He didn’t want to have any regrets again.

About half an hour later, Carla, their chef who already returned for work, called them to decorate the cake as per Cayenne’s instruction.

All ingredients were already prepared in advance so Cayenne wasn’t the least bit worried that she might miss something. Aside from that Stefan was there to help her do the cutting of fruits and other things that would prompt her to use knife.

“I’ll have chocolate and strawberry cake.” She told him and Stefan nodded before getting the strawberries to slice them. “Shall we have mango graham cake as well? Dad likes them the most.”

“Go for it.”

The two of them decided to focus on decorating the cake in front of them and Luiz who came upon them again secretly took a photo of the couple.

-They always feed us with overloading sweetness.-

Watching the couple from the photo, one could tell how much Stefan love his wife. He was watching her like she was the only living person in the world while she was slowly arranging the strawberries on top of the icing.

“Overloading sweetness from the couple and from the cake.”

“On and off cam; this couple always melt my heart.”

“I wish my boyfriend would look at me with the same intensity.”

“Does Cayenne know that her husband looks at her that way?”

“Ms. Yen, how to be you?”

Different positive opinions overwhelmed the negative ones to the point that those haters stopped saying anything. No matter what they say, Cayenne’s fans were just hard to intimidate and manipulate like before. They no longer believe in other people except from the couple and their close friends and relatives.

Seeing the reactions of many people, Luiz smiled and slipped his phone inside his pocket. Cayenne and Stefan were the kind of couple that he and Clarisse wanted to be, except the spoiling part. Clarisse wasn’t the type that can be spoiled with riches because she was wealthy to begin with.

As for the couple; they have no idea that they became a hot topic once again. They never cease to make people fall in love with their relationship; something that many was jealous of as well.

That evening, Stefan and Cayenne invited their family to join them for dinner which was the first time after they moved to their new house. Well, some of their family members would visit them once in a while but this was the first time that they really sat around the table together and chat about various things. It was so lively.

Since it was a celebration for Monet’s recovery, Cayenne called Thomas to see Monet. Thankfully, the woman was still awake and even though her eyes were still swollen from crying so hard, she looked genuinely happy when she saw Cayenne this time.

“Thank you so much for praying so hard. I can’t wait to see you. I was really excited when you announced that you are also pregnant.” Monet mentioned during their call while Thomas was peeling apple beside her.

“When will you be discharged? I want to see you as well?”

“I’ll be discharged next month but I cannot travel back to your country because of my situation. The doctor told me that I can probably go out of the country after giving birth.”

“That long?!” Cayenne exclaimed in disbelief. “Will you be staying in Baguio for the whole duration until your labor or are you going back to Cebu?”

“I’ll stay in Baguio with Jess and Thomas.”

“I’m so glad that you guys are fine now. I’ve been so worried. Anyway, if you encounter any problem, let us know. We will think of a way to help as much as we could.”

“Thank you, Yen. Your support and prayers are more than enough.”

The two of them talked for a little bit more about kids and their preparation for them which brought Cayenne to a realization that they didn’t prepare anything for their child yet.

[I should check the nursery room tomorrow.] She thought since she had no idea that Stefan has plans for their child already which will be a little problematic because of a single step that they overlooked.

After the call ended, Cayenne rubbed her face on Stefan’s arm like a cat purring under her owner’s touch.

“Flirting again.” Luiz mumbled which caused everyone to laugh.
