She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 634: SHOPPING LIKE THERE’S NO TOMORROW BECAUSE HIS WIFE ISN’T AROUND

Stefan happily walked inside the mall. His bodyguards were walking close to him as he explored the place on his own. He already have a long list on his phone and he knew where exactly to get those things.

“Let’s start at the department store.” Stefan told his bodyguards and they followed him with no questions asked. He checked his notes and found several items that he could get from this area even though he and Cayenne have many of those. He bought two sets of couple hoodies which was a new design to his eyes, a new pair of matching pajamas because they didn’t have a green color of those, a matching apron even though they didn’t cook that much because they have a helper at home, a couple set of Beanie hats with a design ‘His Queen and Her King’ and several other items.

Since Stefan was known to many people and he wasn’t really hiding his identity this time, a lot of customer’s identified him and took photos of him, particularly with him holding a lot of items.

Many salesladies noticed him as well but only one of them was braved enough to walk and conversed with Stefan. But she didn’t have any malicious intentions at all. “Good afternoon, sir. I noticed that you are shopping for couple sets, do you mind if I recommend something to you?” She asked while eyeing the things that his bodyguards were holding.

“What is it?”

“It’s a little bit intimate and few men have the guts to get in there but if you want, I’ll lead you the way.”

“Sure.” Stefan followed him but as they approached a different section of the department store, Stefan looked back at his bodyguards and told them to stop. “I’ll go alone. You can just wait for me here.”

.....

“Yes, sir.”

The saleslady smiled and continued walking towards the place where they sell the undergarments. One particular shelf showcased the couple set underwear. Stefan, being the shameless wolf he was, he already eyed a few of them and he can already imagine Cayenne’s face while wearing them.

“My wife will surely kick me out of the room this time.”

“That’s why I said that only few men have the guts to come in here.”

“But it’s worth trying.” Stefan retorted with an evil grin. “I want this pair of underwear.” he said but when the saleslady was about to get it, he stopped her. “Wait a sec, do you have a black color of these?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Then, I’ll get the black one and this. Please wrap the other into a beautiful gift. I’m giving it to someone else.”

The couple set of underwear was placed inside a box so when he paid it, no one sees what’s inside but, people already have an idea in mind knowing which section he came out with it.

After paying for the things he bought, the bodyguards took the shopping bags and continued following Stefan to his next stop which was the jewelry stores. They already have so many accessories that Cayenne had to wear a different one each day just to make sure that she’d be able to wear all of them. Yet, Stefan was still unsatisfied. He wanted more. He wanted to give her a lot more.

They walked around for few minutes until he spotted things that he likes. It’s not from an expensive brand but it was still decent. There was a couple set of an engraving photo locket. He sent them two photos and chose two golden lockets which they use to encase the picture. The picture he used on his locket was their wedding registration photo while he used a picture of him and Cayenne which was taken at Carcassonne.

“Sir, it will take 30 minutes for us to finish engraving the whole set. You can come back later if you are planning to buy something else or you can choose to wait.”

“I’ll come back later.”

He continued buying a lot of matching accessories including watches, bracelets, keychains and other little things he could find as long as they were a couple set.

He wanted to buy her a new laptop as well since she used to borrow his but, knowing his wife, if she will only kick him out of the room for buying so many things, for sure, she will not talk to him for few days if he buys her a new laptop. She’d think it would be a waste. So, Stefan gave up on the idea.

By the time he finished shopping, it was almost 4 o’clock in the afternoon. On his way back, he dropped by at the Filipino restaurant that she likes and bought the ‘bagoong’ that she wants. He also asked his driver to stop at the nearest wet market because he needed to buy green mangoes for her.

When he came home, Jade was also getting inside the car along with Ethan to go back home.

“Uncle! You’re home!” Jade exclaimed when she caught sight of him and this made Cayenne look at him, too.

“Yes, I am. Thank you for staying with her.”

“No biggie.” Jade replied and waved her hands. “I’ll be going back home now. I’ll see you next time.”

“Wait.” Stefan walked back to the backseat and reach for the giftbox. “Please give this to your parents. It’s just a simple gift. And this is for you and Ethan. And this one is for Raizel.”

“Rai got a gift, too. Yay! Thank you, uncle.”

“Can’t have favoritism between you two.” Ethan also expressed his gratitude but, he didn’t know how to address Stefan and ended up calling him sir. “Call me, Uncle, young man.”

Ethan just bowed his head and nodded but he didn’t say the word ‘uncle’. He was too shy to start using it.

After bidding their farewell, they finally left and Stefan was faced with Cayenne’s questioning look.

“Wifey.”

“My green mangoes.” Cayenne replied without batting an eyelid, still pretending to be upset when all she wanted was to throw herself at him and hug him.

“I have it.” Stefan reached for the 2 kilos of green mangoes as well as the ‘bagoong’ that she likes.

She finally smiled when she received it and gave him a kiss on his cheek. “Love you.”

“I have something more.”

One after another, the bodyguards took out the shopping bags and brought them outside the masters bedroom. Cayenne wasn’t saying a word, just watching them unloading things from the truck.

“I didn’t buy all those.” Stefan mentioned first before she could say something. “Some were gifts.”

“Which of them were gifts? And who gave them? I’ll give them a call to thank them.”

Stefan’s smile faltered upon hearing her last statement. He didn’t know she’d see through his lies. “Sorry. I can’t stop buying them when I saw them. Forgive me, hmm?”

“I’ll forgive you but in exchange, you have to buy school requirements of the same worth and donate it to less fortunate students.”

“Sure!” Stefan’s answer came in a hurry and he even kissed the tip of her nose. “My wife is the kindest of all.”

“Tsk! It’s because you are being hopeless. Where are you planning to put all these now?”

“That’s a secret.” Stefan replied and even winked at her. For now, he’d be placing them inside their full wardrobe but once the new house is done, he’ll be moving their things little by little. ‘Hopefully, she wouldn’t notice me doing it.’
