She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 722

Chapter 722: CAYENNE’S ANGRY?

Stefan stood there not knowing what exactly he should say. Last time, he promised to deal with the person who stirred trouble and tried ruining his relationship with Cayenne.

Now that he knows, he felt like smacking himself on the head. Thankfully, he didn’t say those words to anyone else but himself.

“You must have some reasons why you did it.” Stefan expressed on his way to the couch. He made himself comfortable without waiting for his invitation because he needed to distract himself before losing his mind and hit the man in front of him.

If he had to be honest, he really wanted to kick Reuben for doing such a thing but since he was Cayenne’s father, he gave the man the benefit of the doubt. If it was anyone else, he would beat the man until beyond recognition and ruin him.

Reuben stifled his laugher as he sat on another couch opposite his son-in-law. “Tell me. You want to beat the crap out of me, don’t you?”

Stefan didn’t answer. He was only looking at the documents in front of him.

“I did it for your own good.”

.....

“Why do you have to? I have married Ayen already and the upcoming wedding is something that I want her to remember for the rest of our lives. I don’t need anyone’s blessing to do it.”

“Is that so? Don’t forget that I made this thing possible by giving you another chance.”

“Even if you didn’t, I would still find her and make things work between us.”

“I have no doubt that you would.”

Stefan exhaled sharply and finally raised his head to look Reuben in the eyes. “I understand that you only want to test me for your daughter’s benefit and I am not angry. I just hope that this will be the last time. Cayenne is my life. I don’t want her to worry about anything.”

“So, you won’t tell her about our meeting today? It will worry her if she knows.”

“My wife is reasonable and she will understand what you were trying to do. I have no intention of keeping this matter from her.”

Stefan didn’t stay long and when Ingrid came with their maid to bring some refreshments, Stefan was already on his way to leave the house.

“I’m sorry I could not taste your baking this time.” Stefan said when he saw the plate of pastries. He was sure that it was something homemade. “When you have the time, I’ll ask Cayenne to make cookies with you next time.”

“That will be wonderful.” Ingrid responded with a faint smile. “Still, I’d like to apologize for what my husband did.”

“No worries Mrs. Montefalco. I would do the same thing along the line if I have a daughter as well.”

“Thank you for understanding, Stefan.”

With a slight nod to her, Stefan turned around and left. As soon as Tristan saw him, he opened the door and Stefan got inside. Not even a second wasted, they left without looking back.

When Stefan checked his phone, it was already past 12 o’clock yet there was no message from his wife. It worried him that she got mad because he wasn’t at her university. Worse, she didn’t answer when he tried to call her.

Instead of calling her, Stefan dialed another number. “Where are you? Why is so noisy over there? Where’s your madam?”

“Sir, madam is having lunch with her friends. We’re currently at Naru’s Ramen House. It’s close to the school so many students are here.”

“I see. Can I talk to her?”

“Yes, boss. Give me a sec.” The bodyguard stood up in a hurry and walked toward Cayenne’s table where she was eating her ramen with Noah and Faith. “Madam, Sir Stefan wants to talk to you.”

“Why didn’t he call me?”

[I called you sweetie. You just don’t answer it.] Stefan retorted deep in his mind but chose to keep it in his heart instead of voicing it.

Ignoring the looks that the students threw at her, Cayenne took the bodyguard’s phone and answered it. “Hey, hon? I’m having ramen right now? Are you not busy anymore? Do you want to come over and eat with us?”

“Sorry love. I still have something to do. I can’t be there for lunch.”

“Is there anything that I can help? I called Elena earlier but she said that you didn’t come to work. You even cancelled your meetings.”

“I’ll talk to you later when I get home tonight. Something unexpected happen.”

“Am I in trouble again?”

Stefan chuckled on the other line when he received her response. Even if he will deny it, it seems like all his troubles these past few days was related to his wife. He never knew that she’d attract troubles now that they’re married.

“It’s me again, right? Faith and Noah showed me a new post in the school forum. You never said anything about it.”

“There’s really nothing to discuss about it. We already talked before. Do you want to get punished again?”

Thinking of punishment which ended in a passionate sex, Cayenne blushed and covered her face with her free hand. “Alright. I’ll forget about it. Don’t come and pick me up later. I’ll go to your office and pick you up instead.”

“I’d love that.”

“Why are you calling the bodyguard by the way instead of calling me?”

Lifting the corner of his lips to a helpless smile, Stefan told her the truth about the unreturned calls.

“Ah?? Hahaha. Sorry. I didn’t hear the sound of my phone. I’ll bring you something to eat later.”

“Heh! Just because I’ll eat whatever you’ll bring later doesn’t mean I’ll let you off the hook. We’ll talk about this.”

Cayenne turned down the corner of her smouth as she glowered at the familiar statement he gave. She thought she heard it somewhere recently.

Of course, it was familiar to her. She said the same words when she dealt with Stefan’s recent issue about Kelly.

“Alright. I won’t take so much of your time. Eat your lunch and send me a message once you get back to school. I want to know you are safe.”

“Yes, sir.”

“By the way, we’ll have dinner with dad and grandpa later. Love you. Bye.”

Before she could even voice out her complaints, Stefan dropped the call as if he knew what she would say to him.

But even though he ended the call, he received an angry message from his wife. When to know she’s angry when messaging? She’ll write something like:

WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME SOONER?! WE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH INGREDIENTS AT HOME AND I WON’T BE HOME TO COOK FOR DINNER!!!!!! I’M LOSING MY BROWNIE POINTS FROM THEM!!!
