She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 890: JULIA'S INTEREST IN KIDS

The wedding party continued until 6:00 PM. However, Cayenne excused herself first so she could check the children and the newly-wed couple was fine with it. They knew how much Cayenne loved her kids and they had no plan to take so much of her time from her.

Not long after, Julia and Celestine arrived. They weren't sure if the wedding party was over or not, so they brought a little gift as respect for the couple since Chris worked for Stefan in the past.

When Chris received the gift through one of Stefan's bodyguards, he asked Stefan about it and the latter told him to ask a canine dog to check the box first. Rissy thought that Stefan was just joking, but she had no idea that Chris really did what his friend and previous employer said.

Inside room 706, Cayenne happily welcomed Julia and Celestine. The mother-and-daughter pair brought a lot of things for the kids and they also got something for Ferdinand. They weren't sure if Ferdinand would meet them, but Cayenne could bring the things back home for the old man.

"Thank you for having us. I really thought you'd never allow us to see the kids after all the things that we did," Celestine commented while holding Cayenne's hands. "I'm really sorry for being so stupid. You are a daughter, too. I'm sure you've understood my pain."

"I do. That is exactly the reason why I told Stefan to reconcile with you. You've been wronged and you have the right to feel disappointed and hurt. Besides, you haven't done anything grave. It would have been another story if you killed someone dear to us."

Celestine's guilty conscience was stabbing her heart. Julia was also observing Cayenne's expression, checking if the woman knew something and was tripping her mom for information.

"I'm a shrewd woman, to be honest with you," Celestine expressed and sighed. "At the same time, I'm all bark and no bite. Even if I think of killing someone, I would never do that. I know what's waiting for me if I cross that line. I may be stupid sometimes, but I'm not stupid enough to get myself imprisoned."

"I totally understand that. In fact, I also felt that way when I read negative comments about me, but I would never hurt anyone for something so trivial as negative comments," Cayenne retorted with a faint smile.

However, deep in their hearts, they knew that wasn't the case. The three of them knew that Celestine planned to kill her brother and father. She just didn't get the chance to do it because Magnus died before she could execute her plan. As for her plan to kill Ferdinand, Cayenne wasn't sure if the woman already gave up on the idea, and that was what she and Stefan tried to avoid.

"Where are the kids, by the way?" Julia asked when she noticed that the kids weren't around with Cayenne.

"Oh, sorry. The nannies are changing their diapers in the adjacent room. They'll bring the triplets here once done."

Julia feigned a look of surprise and worried on her face even though she knew that most wealthy families would hire nannies. "You allow your kids to spend time with your nannies without you looking at them?" she asked, hinting that nannies could do something when she was not around.

"They're never left with the nannies alone. My trusted bodyguards will always be around the kids wherever we go. Even at home, my bodyguards will keep an eye on them. Aside from that, our house has a lot of cameras and we could view them no matter where we are."

"R-really?" Julia responded with a faint smile.

"Yes! You know my husband. He's paranoid when it comes to our safety. He would do anything just to keep us safe."

"But you have a huge property, right?" Celestine asked with genuine curiosity. "What if someone would sneak in using a different route or something? Do you need additional security guards? I can hire some and pay them for you."

"You're so generous, Auntie Celest," Cayenne said which caused Julia to raise her eyebrow for a moment. "For now, we are not really looking for more security guards. We have a lot of them already."

"I see. If you need to get more, just let me know. I can pay for some of them for you. It's not easy to live a peaceful life when you're wealthy. Many people would be coveting your wealth and they would do anything just to get it."

Julia didn't say anything more. She could tell that her mother was genuinely happy for Cayenne and was purely offering her help without thinking of anything in return. She could tell that her mother has turned for the better already.

"Did you guys bring some swimming clothes, by any chance?" Cayenne inquired to shift the topic. "Stefan booked the room next door for both of you. We could swim later if you like."

Hearing her words, Julia's eyes were wide in shock as she asked, "Will you also bring your kids to swim?"

"No, of course, not."

"Then, can I just stay with them and play to my heart's content?"

Cayenne's smile almost faltered when she noticed that Julia was very interested in the kids, but she kept her part of the play and nodded her head. "That is not a problem. You can spend time with them."

Julia beamed happily having Cayenne's approval to stay with the kids and as soon as the triplets came out, she stood up and approached them.

With everyone's attention on the kids, Nikolai moved closer to Cayenne and whispered, "Please be careful with her madam. I can see different emotions in her eyes. I think this woman is mentally unstable."

Cayenne nodded her head and muttered, "I'll check on that information. Tell Jackson to coordinate with Tristan on that matter," which was something not really connected with Nikolai's words, but just a pure agreement to his statement about Julia.
