She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 259 - HE CAME BACK



Cayenne thought that everything ended since Stefan already went home. Who would've thought that she would wake up the next morning, only to see him cooking in her kitchen?

"Good morning, my dear wife." Stefan greeted her with an apron tied on his waist. He was holding a spatula in one hand and a bowl of scrambled eggs on the other.

Cayenne was stunned to see him, making her stay rooted at the door, not knowing if she should come in or go back to her room.

"I'll be done in a minute. Here's a warm milk for you." Stefan gave her a glass of warm milk and led her to the dining area. "Just wait for me here."

Luiz came down, on his way back to school, and saw the stupid face of her sister who was still confused with why Stefan was inside their home. "Brother-in-law, did you make our breakfast today?"

"Yup. Come here and sit. I'll be taking out the dishes now."

"Oh! Let me help." Luiz placed his bag on the couch and ran to the kitchen to help Stefan. "You finally come to your senses?" He asked Stefan who nodded and chuckled. "Good. I wish you luck in getting her back."

"Thanks."

Stefan cooked bacon, hotdog, scrambled egg, sunny side up, pork tocino, and stir friend vegetables. There was a bowl of fried rice and a bowl of plain rice. He poured three glasses of milk for the two brothers and for Cayenne. He was like their personal attendant.

"I'll call Erwin." Kyle said and went out of the house to find Erwin. He knew that the man will be outside, cleaning the car which he will use to drive them to school. "Erwin, it's time for breakfast."

"Got it. I'm almost done here."

"Okay. Come inside as soon as you're finished."

Soon after, the five of them ate their breakfast together. Luiz was so happy to be eating with Stefan again, felt like his family was complete once again.

On the other hand, Cayenne was frowning while staring at her food. She felt like she missed something at this point. "Wait! How come you're here? Didn't you go back home?"

"I did." Stefan answered her question. "But I came back because I am not forgiven yet. I realized that I can't just kneel and do nothing. So, I'm going to court you once again."

"Ahem! Ahem!" Cayenne choked on her food and couldn't stop coughing. She drank mouthful of water but her throat still felt rough and she wanted to cough again.

"Don't scare her like that." Kyle commented before he continued to eat his food. "She's still your wife, right?"

"Yes. And I will continue to pursue her even if she's my wife already." Stefan answered, not embarrassed when it comes to showing his sweet side to them.

Cayenne glared at him but she can't really get angry at this point because she was eating the food that he cooked. She didn't ask any other questions and just continued to eat.

"Thanks for the food brother-in-law." Luiz said as he wiped his face and put down his cutleries.

"Thank you." Kyle also added and stood up from his seat.

"Are you guys done? Are you leaving now?" Cayenne asked her brothers. They will be away for another week and she'd be left alone again.

"Hey, don't make that face. I'm sure you won't have time to feel sad because your life will be full of sweetness and irritations. Make sure to sleep well." Kyle told his sister. It was obvious what his words implied and whenever Cayenne sees Stefan, she couldn't stop herself from looking at him sharply.

"Can you bring this man with you once you leave?" She asked them while pointing her finger towards her husband.

"We can bring him, of course, that is not a problem. But you should know that he will still come back here. After all, you're his master. Am I right, Stefan?" Erwin commented which none of them refute.

"Don't make it sound like I'm a dog but yeah, I agree with you. I will find her no matter where she goes. I will still come back in her arms." Stefan responded with gentleness reflecting on his face. "I won't have any other home but the place beside her."

"I don't have space for you beside me." Cayenne retorted and just continued eating. "Eat your food."

Her brothers left together with Erwin, leaving only the two of them. They ate their food in silence but it was no longer an awkward silence like before.

"I'll wash the dishes."

"Okay. I'll dry them for you."

She wanted to get rid of him but Stefan wanted to stay with her. in the end, the two of them worked harmoniously in the kitchen.

Since it rained yesterday, Cayenne didn't have to water her plants. She just checked on their growth to make sure that they're striving hard to live.

"What makes you decide to make a vegetable garden here?" Stefan asked while holding the umbrella for her since it was still drizzling a little bit.

"I needed to do something to forget you."

"Was it effective?"

"Yeah. Sadly, you showed up again and messed up my world." She turned around and walked back to the house. "You just recover from your fever, you shouldn't have come out with me."

"Are you worried for me?"

"No, I'm not. I just don't want your family to blame me if something happens to you."

Stefan nodded his head at her response but he didn't comment on it. It was obvious that she cares for him but she was still denying it. "Ayen, can I see your phone?"

"Huh?! Why?" She felt a rising panic in her throat which made her heart skip a beat. "I…I already changed my phone."

"I see." Stefan pulled her close to make sure that she won't get wet. "It's okay. I just wanted to know if you still have my number."

"Hn. I still -, no I don't have it. Hmp!" She stomped on his foot and walked as fast as he could back to the house.

For the first time in two weeks, Stefan laughed genuinely.
