She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 261 - ADMITTING THIER MISTAKES

Seiji knew that if he stayed longer, Cayenne might notice something between him and Stefan. He can't let her find out that he was attacking Stefan's companies. And he was also sure that Stefan won't tell her directly because he was a friend to Cayenne. Saying things against him, Cayenne might think that Stefan was acting out of jealousy. He was sure that Stefan won't take that course.

He left the house after half an hour with a smile on his face but as soon as he stepped inside his car and close the door, his true color showed. "That bastard! Cayenne should be mine. Why did he have to show up in our life?" His anger was directed to the couch he was sitting.

"Sir, where are we heading to?"

"Let's go back to the city and continue to attack his companies. He will have to choose sooner or later. With the pressure from his family, I don't think he will be able to continue being a headstrong person."

The driver drove the car and left Cayenne's property.

Cayenne and Stefan were sitting on the couch, still and silence. After almost five minutes of being quiet, Cayenne turned to Stefan. "Am I just seeing things or are you holding a grudge against my friend?"

"You're just seeing things my wife. He's your friend, why should I hold a grudge against him. It's just, I get jealous sometimes when you talk to other men."

"That's very unlike you." Cayenne commented as she stood up. "I'm going upstairs to rest. Are you having dinner with us?"

"No, I will have to leave later."

"Okay. If you want to rest, you can use one of the guest rooms."

"Can't I rest with you?"

"No."

"But I want to rest with you."

"Guest room or outside? Just choose which one."

"I want to stay with you outside or we can stay in the guest room together."

Cayenne looked at him with her eyebrow raised intimidatingly. "Stop talking or I will throw you out. You choose."

Stefan made a zipping action of his mouth and smiled at her like a foolish child. When Cayenne left, he took out his phone and walked out to the garden to contact Shein. He asked him to dig some dirty secrets related to Seiji but Shein couldn't find anything at all.

"He's that clean?" Stefan asked.

"Yeah. I doubled check everything already. It's either he's clean or the people around him are just very loyal to him."

"Alright. You don't need to check on him. If he wants to attack my companies, I don't care. He can own them if he likes them."

"I wonder why he's attacking your company though. Isn't he a good friend of your wife? Why is he doing this to you?"

"It's because of my wife that he's doing this. He likes Cayenne. He wanted to use those shares to threaten me and divorce her. He must have thought that I care about those shares."

"And you don't care? Aren't they the fruit of your family's labor?"

"They are. And they gave it to me. I can do whatever I want about it. If acquiring those can make Seiji happy, he can have them. Even if he acquires everything, I won't divorce my wife."

"What if your wife divorces you because you have no money left?"

"Not owning the companies doesn't mean I have no shares left. He only acquired the shares from other people but not mine. He only got more shares than me but Ayen and I can still survive with the little shares I have."

"You say it's little but it still amounts to millions."

"Exactly." Stefan responded with a sigh. "I don't care about Seiji anymore. He can do whatever he wants but there's no way I'd allow him to get my wife."

"Jillyanna likes your answer." Shein replied with a chuckle. "She's sitting beside me right now and she heard your words."

Stefan spoke to Shein and Jillyanna a little longer, not aware that Cayenne was standing behind the door, listening to his conversation.

She left earlier to rest but she remembered the mangoes which was why she came back. She heard Stefan talking to someone and he mentioned her name. Out of curiosity, she eavesdropped even though it was wrong. She didn't expect to hear something to shocking.

'Seiji was attacking Stefan's companies because of me. He likes me?' Cayenne blinked her eyes several times, still in disbelief with what she heard. "I must be mistaken." She mumbled as she walked away from the door and went to the kitchen. "There's no way that Seiji would do that.

"Ayen? Why are you here? I thought you're resting." Stefan asked with worry clouding on his face. "Are you alright?"

"Yup. I'm fine." Cayenne opened the fridge and took two green mangoes.

"Let me peel them for you." Stefan took the fruits from her and took the peeler to start peeling the fruits. "I will be going to the court tomorrow morning so I can't come here. I will be presenting the evidences regarding Alexander's death to the judge in order to free your stepfather."

"Can I come together with you?"

"Sure. I'll pick you up, then." Stefan paused for a while and sighed.

"Why are you sighing?"

"I'm just thinking; if I wasn't selfish and immediately withdraw the case against Jonas the moment I learned the truth about Alexander's death, your mom, she would've been able to live her life with him. I felt so regretful with happened and I even ruined our relationship during the time that you needed me the most. If I can turn back time, I would sit down and talk to you. But I know there are no ifs in life. I can only swallow my regret and start over again."

"I'm also at fault in this matter. I should have told you about Jonas before."

"No, I'm the one who's at fault here. I promised that I'd wait for you to tell me your secrets and I promised that I would listen to you without judging you. In the end, I pushed you to a corner and make you sign those papers."

The two of them owned to their mistakes and didn't throw blames on each other. It was even better and they weren't fighting. "Alright. We're both at fault in ruining our relationship. Let's stop thinking about it."

"You've forgiven me?! Really?"

"Hn. I have forgiven you but I can't start over with you again."
