She's My Sleeping Pill

841 MONET CAME

Cayenne received her diploma happily, something she didn’t expect she would get. She grew up thinking she needed to work hard for her mother and siblings, to make sure that she would be able to pay for the medical bills and tuition fees. She had nothing but work in mind. It was also because of this mindset that she was able to meet Stefan and her life changed because of him.

Standing in front of her schoolmates, Cayenne kissed her diploma and waved it to the camera, knowing that her husband would be watching him from home. It wasn’t just her effort that paid off but everyone who helped her.

If Cayenne’s circumstances were the same as the other students, she would have gotten her award because of her excellent grade. Unfortunately, her absences and sick leave affected her overall performance as a student. However, with her optimistic character, getting the diploma was more than enough for her.

The next morning, while she was still sleeping soundly after getting back so late last night, people were busy in the living room and in the garden.

“Sir, I brought the flowers already.”

“Sir, Chef Lawrence and Chef Dike have arrived. Shall I show them the kitchen?”

“I picked up your gift already, sir.”

“The tables and chairs have been arranged in the garden.”

The security guards and the house helpers were busy preparing for the celebration that Stefan wanted to hold for his wife. People were coming over as well and even though they were considered guests, they helped with the things around for the party.

.....

Kath and Clarisse were decorating the garden with many balloons and other stuff to make it look bright and lively. Sabrina was also arranging the congratulatory gifts for Cayenne on another table. The Madrigals came as well and Jillyanna decided to help with the arrangement of utensils.

Stefan didn’t hire any event organizer this time because everyone wanted to have a share in making this celebration happen.

Not long after, his maternal relatives arrived, and Dominic helped the security guards in putting up the tent on the side. Just in case it would, they would have a place to shelter before getting to the house. Most of the guests were probably rich people but he treats them like how he treats everybody else because of his children. No more favoritism this time.

On the other hand, Jade was helping him take care of the children. Raizel even joined her as she reads a story to the babies. Though, Travis was there looking after them as well.

You could say the husbands were better at handling the babies because they wanted to spoil their wives.

“I’m here!”

Travis and Stefan instantly turned their heads to the newcomer and their eyes widened in surprise. At the door, Monet was holding her gift while Thomas stood beside her with a baby carrier tied around his body. He was carrying their little boy.

“Monet! You’re finally back!” Stefan hugged her and gently patted her head. “You really worried us.”

Travis also smiled and pinched her cheek. “I’m happy that you escaped the clutches of death and gave birth to a healthy baby boy.”

“Hey! What about me?” Thomas interrupted but the two men cruelly ignored him. At the same time, seeing the relief on their faces upon seeing his girlfriend, he was happy. “I’m sorry for being a jerk,” he apologized, and the two cruel men finally shifted their attention to him.

Travis: “How is it being a father?”

Stefan: “Do you stay up in the evening, too?”

Thomas: “I didn’t expect I would be getting this blessing. Thankfully, I got people who whacked me in the head to make me realize how idiotic I was.”

Seeing the three of them looking after the children, Monet quickly took a picture of them. “Where’s Yen?” She asked when she couldn’t find her.

“Still sleeping.” Stefan responded. “She would wake up any moment now. How about you surprise her?”

“What do I do?”

“How about you dress up as a waitress and give her some sweets later?”

“We don’t have time to make a costume.”

“I think Cayenne kept that costume. I will look for it.”

“And why would she have that costume?” Thomas inquired teasingly. They knew that Cayenne worked in Clover Hotel before but not as a waitress. She also returned her uniform when she worked in a café in the past. So, how?

“Why do you even want to know? You can ask someone to make one for Monet.”

Travis stayed quiet at this juncture. He didn’t want to tease Stefan since he had his own kinky games with Jillyanna as well.

The preparation continued while Cayenne tried to get as much sleep as she could. She wasn’t the least bit bothered by the noise outside because of the best soundproofing in their bedroom. She also knew that Stefan would take care of everything if there was anything that needed her attention or whatnot.

“Dad,” Jade called while keeping her eyes on Zeki. She was really interested in his behavior. “Dad, is it possible for a two-months old baby to understand me?”

“They probably understand us or you with the tone of your voice or your actions. They still don’t understand complex words.” Travis answered while caressing Raizel’s head who sat on the thick blanket that Stefan laid for the kids.

“Really?” Jade frowned and looked closer at Zeki. “Do you like Auntie Alice?” Zeki smiled and touched Jade’s face. “How about your daddy? Your mommy? Your uncle Luiz?” She got the same reaction from him, so Jade whispered, “how about your grandpa Magnus?”

Zeki’s smile vanished and was replaced with a poker face. Jade was shocked with what she discovered. “You know it, too?” She said while caressing his face. “I found out the truth without them telling me so, let’s keep it a secret. Adults didn’t want to spread it and babies should follow the adults.”

Travis watched his daughter talk to the young Zeki and he was already worried about the future. He didn’t want the child to be attached to his little princess.

Thomas, who noticed his friend’s worry, snickered on the side. “Your worry won’t happen. Why are you even thinking that far?”

“Anything could happen under the blue and the night sky.”

“That’s what you get for having a cute and smart daughter.”

“I’ll pray that your son will give you a headache every day.”

“Ya! That’s no fair.”
