She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 260 - NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US

"Sir, Mr. Dumrique has found Ms. Cayenne already. It was said that he had been away from his company for several days because he wanted to stay with his wife."

"Where is her current address?" Seiji asked.

"It's in City B."

"Let's go and get her. Let her see Stefan's true colors. I don't believe that he will stay with her knowing that his companies will belong to me if he continues to stay with her." Seiji was confident that Stefan values power and wealth before his wife. He had no idea that he will fall on the trap that he made himself.

Stefan would leave at night to deal with his business matters and would come back the next morning to cook breakfast and stay with her the whole day.

"I want to eat that green mango." Cayenne told Stefan while pointing on the green mangoes up on a mango tree. There were many fruit trees within the property that Cayenne lived and some of them were bearing fruits even though no one took care of them.

"Alright. I'll get them for you. Just give me a moment."

"Do you even know how to climb a tree?"

"Nope. I don't need to climb the tree." Stefan looked for Erwin and asked for sliding metal stairs that he can use to get the mangoes that his wife wanted to eat. When he came back with the material, Cayenne couldn't help but smile.

'He's really smart.' She wanted to make him climb the tree and make fun of him but he was smart enough to think of getting those metal stairs. "Be careful." She told him in nonchalance. Even though she cared, there's no way she'd show it on her face.

Stefan gave her a playful wink before climbing up the metal stairs to get the fruits for her. "Are these enough? You're not allowed to eat lots of green mangoes. You'll be in pain during your period."

"Then, you take care of me during my period." She mumbled but she didn't expect him to hear it.

Stefan climbed down with six green mangoes and gave it to her. "I'll take care of you during your period so, just eat it."

Cayenne looked at him and then looked at the green mangoes. "Hmp! You just know how to say those stupid sweet words. Give them to me." She got the mangoes and walked back to the house which was quite some distance from where they went.

Stefan followed her quietly with a foolish smile on his lips.

Cayenne received a message from Erwin, stating that a man named Seiji came to look for her. Cayenne looked back to her husband and saw him carrying the metal stairs. "I have a visitor. Do you need help with that?" She asked while pocketing her phone in a hurry.

"No, thanks. I can carry them on my own."

"Are you sure? I can ask Erwin to come and get this."

"Are you worried that I'll get tired?"

"Not really. Since you can just carry them on your own, I'll go ahead of you. I still have visitors waiting for me."

"Who's your visitor?" Stefan asked as he walked beside her, taking small strides to keep up with her.

"He's a classmate of mine. Remember the one named Seiji that I told you before. He came back not long ago."

"Oh." Stefan didn't comment on it and just continued to walk. "Should I leave you guys alone later?"

Cayenne looked at him and then to the mangoes that she was holding. "Can you stay? I'm not comfortable talking to him on my own."

"Sure. It's my pleasure to stay with my wife."

"Thank you." Cayenne looked at him and smiled. It was faint but a smile is a smile, no matter how faint it is. Stefan got a little bit more courageous and took hold of her hand. He linked their fingers together which made Cayenne frown and looked at him. "Why are you holding my hand?"

"It gives me strength." Stefan replied shamelessly. "I can carry this metal stair back and forth as long as you let me hold your hand."

"I don't plan to make you go back and forth." Cayenne stated and rolled her eyes. "Just leave it here. I'll have Erwin return this item to the storage room."

Stefan placed the metal stair on the ground at the backyard and got inside the house through the kitchen door, following after Cayenne. "Wifey, let me clean those fruits first. Do you want to eat them now or later?"

"Let's have it later." Cayenne washed her hands and left the fruits to Stefan. When she came out, she found Seiji standing in front of her mini bookshelf. "Seiji, what brings you here?"

"I just want to see how you're doing." Seiji turned around and looked at her up and down. She didn't look depress or stress at all. "Where did you get these pictures? They're lovely." He pointed his finger to the frames on top of her bookshelf.

"Really?" Cayenne blushed when she saw the pictures he was pointing at. "They were taken by Stefan when we went to take a short trip."

Seiji cursed himself because he just complimented his love rival. "I see. I'm pretty sure it's not the photographer's skills that makes it beautiful but the muse herself."

"Haha. You flatter me." Cayenne waved her hand to dismiss the topic and she sat on the couch. Seiji followed her and sat on the couch opposite her. "How did you know this address?"

"When it's about you, there's nothing that I can't find."

"Oh." Cayenne let out a perfunctory response, not knowing what to say. They were indeed close when they were in high school but it ended when he left. There's no way for her to act close when they've lost touched for several years.

"Yenyen, Are you alright?"

"Me? Yes, of course. I'm doing fine."

"I see. I heard that you wanted to divorce your husband so I was thinking that something must have happened."

"It's just a rumor." Stefan stated as he walked towards Cayenne from the kitchen. "My wife and I are doing fine. Nothing can separate us, not the past painful events nor the shares that's been taken away from me."
