She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 377 - SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET I

"What are you thinking about?" Stefan asked her when he noticed that she was looking at him with dazed expression. "Is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing. There's nothing wrong but I was indeed thinking of something. I'll let you know later."

"Alright." They went back to the living room since Jose and Cory wanted to rest first and unpack their things later. They're old already and it's given that they get easily exhausted.

The room that Cayenne and Stefan stayed had their names written on a wooden plaque and was hanging right outside their door. In that way, people knew which room was owned by whom. Dominic and Stanley also chose their room and wrote their name on the wooden plaque that was hanging at their door.

Since it was just the two of them in the living room, Cayenne looked at her husband and took a deep breath before speaking. "Hubby, what will you do once I start going to school?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you always panic when you couldn't see me for several minutes and once I start going back to university, doesn't that mean we'll be away from each other for hours? Don't tell me you're planning to come with me to school?"

Stefan didn't expect that his plan was seen-through by his wife. And because he didn't want to lie to her, he could only nod his head with all honesty. "Is it wrong to do that?"

"It's not really wrong but it will affect the school and they will think that I'm using money to get into this school because of you. Aside from that, it will affect your work."

"But Ayen, I'm always afraid when you're out of my sight."

"I will have several bodyguards with me every day, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Anything. I'm afraid of anyone and anything that will harm you."

"I'll be fine. Nothing will happen to me. I can manage myself. And it's a school. Nothing will happen to me inside the school campus."

"So, you don't really want me to come with you to school? I shouldn't have told you to go back to school. I'm regretting my decision now."

Cayenne laughed at him while lightly pinching his face. "You're just so possessive over me and always so panicky when you couldn't see me. It's time to get rid of your anxiety. So, let's practice on it over this summer."

Stefan nodded his head reluctantly and was looking at her with grievances. He didn't really want to be away from her. Just thinking about it made him feel suffocated.

"Wifey, will you be fine if I asked Travis to install some tracking device on your personal belongings?" Stefan asked after few minutes. He just remembered that Travis likes putting tracking devices on his family's personal things. It allows him to know where they are and if something dangerous has happened to them. Stefan never thought of getting one because he thought that they'd never be separated.

"I don't mind." Cayenne responded. "How about you place it on the necklace that you gave me? Or on my bracelet?"

"I'll place it in every single thing you own."

"Hey! That's a bit excessive. One or two tracking devices should be fine." Cayenne retorted. "Anyway, it's getting late. What do you plan for dinner?"

"I was planning to have dinner outside with the whole family including yours. In that way, they will get to know each other and be acquainted with one another"

"That sounds good. Where are we eating?"

Stefan pulled out his phone and the two of them started looking into the restaurants near them. If it was before, Chris would be the one who usually does this kind of things. Booking restaurants, booking hotels or whatever that needs to be booked, it was his job. But ever since they got together from that unexpected divorce paper from Cayenne, Stefan started to become more hands-on to a lot of things.

This way, Chris got more free time and he can go on dates with Rissy as well. Just like this time, usually, he'd be staying late in the company to work overtime and finish lots of things for tomorrow but now, as soon as he's done with his work for the day, he'd leave the company to look for Rissy. Unless, she's busy, they would always go somewhere to have a date.

Currently, they're watching a movie. He was holding her hand while paying attention to the action movie that they're watching. It was a preparation to the things that he wanted to tell her during dinner. He was a little nervous and afraid but, he knew that he couldn't run away forever. He needed to tell her the truth of his identity if he wanted her to accept all of him.

As soon as the movie ended, they stood up and left the cinema. They walked around the mall, bought little things that they can share later and some little items that they can have as souvenirs. It's always been like this – they'd get little things for souvenirs every single time that they went on a date.

"We're going at your place first, right?" Rissy asked Chris who was driving the car towards his apartment.

"Hn. We'll be at my place first and then, to your house."

"Okay." She wasn't nervous at all. She has prepared herself for Chris' reactions once he knew of her secrets. If he accepts her, it would be very great and if he won't then, she can just move on.

They stepped out of his car as soon as they arrived in his apartment and brought the things they bought inside. Some of the tenants who knew Chris greeted them warmly.

When he opened the door and turned on the lights, Rissy was greeted with a cold atmosphere. It wasn't because of an aircon or what; the place just looked so cold and empty.

"You've been living in this cold place for three years now?"

"Yup. Ever since I was hired to become a secretary."

"You've never went home to your family ever since?"

"I don't have family. The man who adopted me stays in the military compound most of the time. I'm a soldier working as an undercover agent to uncover some illegal trades that might put the country in jeopardy. In short, my job as Stefan's secretary is just a front."
