She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 302 - VISITING LATTICIA II

While they were praying in front of his mother, Magnus and Ferdinand arrived with the butler and one of their house helpers. They brought a lot of food and offerings.

Stefan and Cayenne stepped out of the place and waited for them under the tree.

Cayenne checked her phone and found that her brothers have arrived home earlier. And they decided to go out and have some fun. Since they went out, she didn't want her brother to go hungry. She opened up her mobile bank account and transferred money to Luiz and Kyle. As for Luiz, she didn't have to pay him because he father does that.

"They went out?" Stefan asked when he saw her transferring money to her siblings.

"Hn. They went out."

"Let me give them pocket money, too." Stefan stated as he pulled out his own phone but Cayenne held his wrist to stop him. "Just a little bit."

"No."

"Why not?"

"You're spoiling my brothers."

"Aren't we supposed to spoil them? We don't have kids so, we might as well take care of them and spoil them." Stefan reasoned out and while his wife was contemplating, he immediately took her phone and typed in her brothers' bank accounts. He even saved them for future purposes.

"Is this really alright? I don't want them to be dependent on you."

"Then who do you want them to depend on if not me and you?"

Cayenne pouted her lips and shuffled her feet in silence. After few seconds she looked at him and smiled helplessly. "Fine. I don't know how to talk to you out of this but since you insist, then let's be their guardian together with my stepdad."

"That's my wife. Let's treat them like our kids since we don't have one."

"And if we have, we won't treat them like our kids anymore?"

"Yup. We'll treat them like adults once we have our own kids."

Cayenne rolled her eyes at him, a mannerism that she couldn't change when she's with him.

After Magnus and Ferdinand silently prayed or perhaps talked to Stefan's mother, the butler spread a picnic blanket inside the tomb hall and placed all the food that they brought.

"We're eating here?" Cayenne asked since he didn't know if that's allowed, worried that they're disturbing the peace of Stefan's mother.

"It's fine. I always do this when I visited her on her birthdays in the past years. Come and sit." Magnus handed Cayenne a plate and utensils for her to use.

"Thanks, dad." Cayenne muttered and the man smiled at her. The butler and the helper joined them, too. After all, they didn't want them to get hungry while serving them.

Stefan sat beside her and made sure that she ate a lot for lunch since they didn't eat much during breakfast. They talked about trivial matters but after several subjects of their conversation, they still ended up talking about children.

Cayenne pretended she didn't hear anything and Stefan was the one who made excuses time and time again. Ferdinand looked at his granddaughter-in-law and couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Alright. I won't rush you two. I will just try my best to hold on to my dear life and wait for my great-grandchild." Ferdinand commented like he was giving them but in truth, his words were trying to make them feel guilty.

"I'm sure grandpa can do that." Stefan replied with no trace of guilt or panic. "Two more years and you will see your great-grandchild."

"Two years?! That's quite long." Ferdinand mumbled. His spoon was paused midair while thinking of the days or years that he'll have to wait.

"It's not long. The days will pass by quickly. So just make sure that you take care of your health always."

Since he couldn't do anything about it and his grandson was being stubborn, he could only wait for two more years.

After having lunch together, they stayed for a little while and then left the cemetery. The caretaker went to close the gate and he received a tip from Magnus from taking care of the tomb hall.

"Handsome brother! Did you just visit your mother?"

"Handsome brother, is she your girlfriend?"

"Big brother, are you leaving now?"

Kids from nowhere came to surround them with excited faces. They jumped around Stefan and clung to him like he was really their older brother.

Stefan crouched low and gently pat their heads. "This is my wife and yes, we visited my mother because it's her birthday today. I brought some food do you want to go down with me and get it?"

"Yay!" The children cheered and followed Stefan to the parking lot.

"Is this why you brought a lot of knick-knacks from home?" Cayenne whispered beside him.

"Hn. I remembered that they stayed here. Although I wanted to send them to orphanages, I found out that they have families here and they're selling candles and flowers to the visitors."

"I see." Cayenne just nodded her head and walked beside her husband. The kids were chatting merrily as they followed them.

Ferdinand talked to the caretaker and gave him several bills to buy some thick clothes for the children. They knew the caretaker for a long time and knew that he was an honest man.

Stefan opened his car and took two plastic bags containing different food and handed it to them. "Share them with your family, okay? Don't be selfish or this big brother and big sister will not bring you food anymore."

"Thank you, handsome brother and beautiful sister. We will share this with our family for sure." The little girl who seemed to be older than the rest promised them.

"Alright. You can go back home now. Take care of yourselves."

The children waved their hands and left to bring the food to their family. For them it wasn't much but for the children who rarely eat, the food that Stefan gave them were already too much.

Cayenne and Stefan bid farewell to his grandfather and his father before separating ways. They promised to visit them with her family next time but Cayenne didn't know when that next time will happen, specially that her brothers were nervous around Stefan's family.
