She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 405 - HE AGREED AND HE'S RESTLESS

It's weekend. The family will finally go on a trip but before that, Cayenne had to deal with something and it's going to be another hellish day for Stefan.

"Hon, I'll have to visit Justin's home this morning and I'll be back at ten. Also, Lucia's children will come today so, you talk to them while I'm not around, 'kay?"

"You're leaving me." Stefan didn't ask but directly stated these words. "Be careful okay? Make sure that your phone is fully charged and don't take out the cover. Also, give me a call once you have arrived and another call once you're about to come home."

"Yes, sir."

Cayenne picked up her bag and went downstairs with her husband following her. She found Lucia and Justin in the living room, both were ready to go home and see their families.

"Lucia, have your children prepared to come over?" Stefan asked their chef as they walked towards them.

The woman nodded and bowed to them. "Good morning ma'am. Good morning, sir. My children have packed all their necessary things. Those that they couldn't bring for now, they'll just get it when it's time to buy groceries."

"That's a good plan." Cayenne responded with a bright smile. "I'll have Erwin take you home."

"Ma'am?" Erwin came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee. "I'm not coming out with you and Justin? Sir Reuben will kick me if he finds out about this."

"Right." Cayenne pressed her temple for seconds and looked to the other guards. "Let's just ask someone else. They can be trusted and they're all good drivers. You won't have any problems." She appointed another guard to drive Lucia home while Justin get into the same vehicle as her. Erwin was her driver for now.

"Erwin, I'm putting my wife's life in your hands. Drive safely. I don't care if you will take hours just be careful on the road." Stefan reminded him with grieve expression on his face.

Cayenne stifled her laughter seeing how serious her husband was. "I'll be fine. Don't think too much."

Stefan took a deep breath and sighed. He wanted to stop her and just keep her inside his pocket but he knew he can't. She needed to spread her own wings from time to time as well. "I love you, hon." Stefan kissed her lips and hugged her for a while. "Enjoy your time with the kids."

"Hn. I will."

After a moment of hesitation, Stefan still decided to let go of her and closed the door of the car. He watched them leave the house and he stood there for three minutes before coming back inside. The place felt empty and quiet.

Luiz came down and found Stefan sitting in the living room while holding his phone. "Sis, left?"

"Hn." Stefan answered lifelessly. He looked so bored to death.

Looking at him, Luiz pressed his lips together, holding back his laughter that was trying to escape from his lips. 'He's sulking like a child.' He commented mentally while shaking his head. "Do you want some coffee?"

"Yes."

"Alright." Luiz went to the kitchen and looked for the notes that Cayenne would usually leave for them which was all about Stefan's preferences. There were so many of them and Luiz had to read each one to find his choice of coffee. After finding it, he returned the notes to its place and started making coffee for his brother-in-law.

When he came out of the kitchen, Stefan was pacing back and forth in the living room. Luiz looked at the time on his watch and it wasn't even fifteen minutes yet since Cayenne left and here her husband was getting restless already.

Luiz put down the cup of coffee on the table. "I tried to make it like how Yen makes it but I'm not sure if it's up to your standard."

"Thank you, Luiz." Stefan didn't criticize the coffee at all because he knew that the young boy tried. There's really nothing special with the coffee that Cayenne makes except for the person who's making it. It's completely different when you make it yourself or other people make it for you compared to your wife making it for you. Even a black coffee would taste sweet to him.

Since the chef wasn't around, Luiz decided to cook breakfast for everyone who was left at home. Twenty minutes later, Cayenne sent a message in their family's group chat to start preparing for their vacation. In fact, they have all prepared their stuff since yesterday except for her and Stefan.

Stefan read her message and with a deep sigh, he went back inside their bedroom with his hunched back. He needed to pack for their trip because he didn't do it last night.

Meanwhile, Cayenne and Justin were buying take out food dishes to bring back to his home. They all left without taking breakfast and she wanted to share a meal with his family. But since his family was barely getting by, she decided to buy the food instead. She bought a lot because she had men coming with her who needs to eat a lot for her security.

After buying food, they stopped by at the pharmacy and bought some vitamins that the grannies used in Justin's home.

"Say, Justin, just in case, someone would ask you all to stay in the orphanage, like a formal orphanage, will you go? Or will you allow them to take the kids away?"

Justin thought for a while and with a sad expression, he nodded his head. "I mean, I want them to go because there's no other choice. We aren't blood related and my money cannot help all of them. However, I don't want it to happen so soon. Grandma and grandpa will feel really sad if they're taken away. As much as possible, I want all of us to be by their side until their very last breath." He looked straight into Cayenne's eyes and braved himself to ask her, "Are you going to tell the childcare unit about us?"
