She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 680: [Bonus chapter] RETURNING BACK TO THEIR NORMAL LIFE

The next day, Cayenne walked downstairs happily. They can finally go back home to their humble abode and be free of worry because of Napoleone.

She saw her brothers in the living room, watching a news report which confirms Stefan’s activity last night.

“The man has been identified as Napoleone Dumrique. He escaped from prison last week and the police has been hot on his trail to catch him. Unfortunately, this man ran into some people and messed with them. A person against a group, although the police didn’t know who were these people, there is a big possibility that they came from the families of his victims. It is known to us that ...” the reporter continued to speak but Cayenne’s interest was no longer with the news. It’s already good enough that Napoleone is gone.

As for Stefan, she didn’t really know how the police would handle this. Lucian and Vincent surely know his involvement.

Luiz looked around and found his sister standing behind them. And not just that, he saw something else that prompted him to tease her.

“Sis, you might want to cover that hickey on your neck.”

Cayenne instantly placed her hand on the side of her neck where Luiz was pointing at. Her face was flushed from embarrassment even though she was only talking to her brothers. “What...what hickey? This is...ah! It’s a mosquito bite!”

.....

Just in time, Stefan came down and all three pairs of eyes were looking at him.

“Good morning, Mr. Mosquito.” Luiz greeted which caused Cayenne to knock her brother’s forehead.

In the afternoon, before returning back to their home, Cayenne and Stefan dropped by Senyu Medical Hospital to visit Tristan. He wasn’t critically injured but Stefan insisted to have his men send him here. His wound was already stitched together and he had an arm cast to make sure that he won’t move his arm recklessly.

“Elena didn’t visit you?” Cayenne asked when she noticed that he was alone in the hospital room. “I thought she’d at least check up on you.”

“She didn’t know.” Tristan answered curtly.

“Is it serious this time?”

“Which one, my fight with her or my injury?”

“Obviously, your injury is not that life-threatening since you can still joke with me.”

Tristan stood and looked outside the window of his room. He could see other patients taking their routine walk and others were just chatting. “She accidentally saw me and her father talking at my apartment.”

“And did you explain what happened?”

“She wouldn’t give me a chance. She blocked me already. She avoided me in the office like plague.”

Stefan pinched the space between his eyebrows and looked at his wife. He wanted to say that they shouldn’t interfere but he also had this feeling that if his secretaries won’t make up, he will lose one or both of his capable employees. He didn’t like that idea.

“I have a plan and I am sure that she will forgive you.”

Cayenne narrowed her eyes at her husband and crossed her arms over her chest. “Don’t tell me you are planning to make him cook and coax Elena like what you did last night?”

“He can’t do the first and the last part of what I did last night. He can just coax her.”

“Alright. I want to know what’s the plan but leave the last part. I think I have an idea of what it was and I don’t need to know it.”

“Great! Here’s what you should do.”

Since it was Saturday, they couldn’t bring their plan into fruition. They needed to wait for Monday to come. To make it seem a lot more serious, Stefan posted a news on their company’s online bulletin. It will automatically notify all of his employees even if they didn’t want to check it.

[All managers, please report directly to me starting Monday. Tristan won’t be coming to work due to health issues.]

“Is your assistant secretary alright, sir?”

“Does he need someone to take care of him?”

“Sir, is it alright if we visit him?”

“What happened to sir Tristan?”

“I wish he’s doing fine.”

“@Elle, your boyfriend needs help.”

“The girlfriend would probably stop coming to work to take care of him, too.”

“I noticed that they aren’t in good terms. @Elle, if you don’t mind, I can take care of him for you.”

Without reading their comments, Stefan closed the page and focused on his wife who was now sitting beside him. They were on their way home. Unlike him, Tristan paid attention to the comments but Elena never replied to those comments that mentioned her name. He felt really disappointed.

Stefan had been observing Cayenne every day and he noticed that she was improving a lot. She was no longer jumpy to loud sounds and she even started watching action movies on his phone or sometimes on his laptop. Other times, without her knowing, he’d take a video of her and send it to Dr. Simbajon for medical viewpoint of observation.

Stefan was really happy with her mental health development. He never wanted his wife to be edgy all the time. Thankfully, Cayenne has strong will and great adaptation ability.

“By the way, I have a surprise for you tomorrow.” Stefan stated while reading the message that Artemis sent him last time. She was asking permission to meet with Cayenne because the Rule couple wanted to see her. Truth be told, he didn’t want Cayenne to meet anyone from the Rule family again but since the couple didn’t really do anything to hurt her, he agreed to Artemis.

Suddenly, something clicked in her mind when he talked about a surprise. She wasn’t sure if it has any connection to what she thought but she remembered him having a call with Artemis few weeks ago.

“Is this about Elia?” Cayenne asked because she recalled that Artemis called due to Elia’s involvement in looking for her relatives. “Is she coming to see us with the Rules?”

She had a smile on her face when she asked these questions but she noticed that Stefan stiffened and has grown pale. Her smile faded and her lips trembled when she spoke. “Something happened to her?”
