She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 689: WEDDING CARDS

Weekend, finally came and Justin’s grandpa had to be buried. The children were sobbing once again and some of them were even clinging to the coffin. They didn’t want to let him go.

Cayenne watched them from the car and she couldn’t help herself but tear up as well. She knew how it feels to lose someone you love and they were so young to lose the person who raised them.

Only Chloe remained calm. It was probably because Justin was holding her hand.

Martin was the one who arranged everything for Justin’s family with Stefan’s instruction. They felt responsible for him since he worked for them at home and because Cayenne liked him as a little brother as well. For sure, she’d feel sad and worried for him. And Stefan didn’t want his wife to feel these emotions.

The burial ceremony was held on the 23rd of January since it was auspicious for this kind of ceremony. Stefan stood beside his wife and held the umbrella for her. It was sunny and bright which was a good sign for someone who died because it tells that the person’s soul will rest in peace. However, the sun would affect his wife’s skin. And Stefan was someone who cares so much for his wife.

After the burial ceremony, some of the people who paid their respect have gone home. Others went back to Justin’s place and brough them some groceries for the family to use. Cayenne and Stefan also went there. They needed to talk to Justin’s grandmother about the children.

“How about we ask Eliezer first if he knows a nursing aid.” Stefan suggested on their way back to Justin’s place.

.....

“You want to hire one and assign them to Justin’s grandma instead?”

“Yes. I think she will feel sad if we take the children away and send them to the orphanage. She will feel alone. It would be better if she has someone who can take care of her and look after the children, too.”

“That sounds good to me.”

So, when they arrived, they changed their intention from bringing the children to an orphanage, to hiring someone to take care of them.

“Mr. Dumrique, I am already grateful for all the things that you and your wife have done for us. This is more than enough. You don’t have to worry about us. We will be fine on our own.”

“But – ”

“I know it’s worrying you to see that there are a lot of children here and only an old woman to take care of them. But we will be alright. We can really manage here.”

Stefan looked at Cayenne and the two of them sighed. They really wanted to help but they couldn’t do anything since the older woman kept refusing their help.

In the end, since they couldn’t persuade her, the two of them decided to have a talk with Justin once he resumes with his work. For now, they decided to just go along with her granny.

Monday came and Cayenne had to attend classes once again. To Stefan’s surprise, Cayenne decided to attend all of her classes in person. She didn’t want to use zoom for this week. He tried to convince her to change her mind but she has already decided and no one can change it.

“Double the number of bodyguards around her. Make sure that no suspicious person can get close to her. I give permission to Noah and Faith since I have met them and investigated their background but aside from these two, no one – I repeat, no one else should get close to her.”

“Yes, sir!”

“You are making a fuss again.” Cayenne stated with a helpless expression.

“I have to.”

“But you will still have lunch with me, right?”

“Of course. I will be eating lunch with you.”

The next few days were great for Cayenne and her family. They didn’t have any problem and Stefan’s business was doing great. He started talking to his father as well without her having to remind him. Sometimes, he would even visit his grandpa to make sure that he was doing alright. It shocked many of their servants that he visited the head of the family at the same time, they felt happy for the family they were serving.

The days went by with no problems knocking on their door. Stefan was really grateful for it because he was able to focus with his wedding preparation. Right now, he had ten samples of invitation cards in front of him. They had different colors and designs which made it hard for him to choose which one was best for Cayenne.

In the end, he decided to call Luna since she was a woman and knows Cayenne as well. She would surely choose what is best for her best friend.

Luna was busy finishing her work since she will have a day off tomorrow for her engagement party. She didn’t want to have a pile of works on her table once she comes back to the company. This time, she had to do things on her own because Ali wasn’t with her. He was with the organizers, personally checking the progress for the event tomorrow.

She was about to stand to get a cup of coffee when she received Stefan’s call. She remembered that Cayenne already got her new phone after the hijacking incident which means, it was really Stefan who was calling her. [How rare!] she thought as she sat down once again and answered the call.

“What a surprise for my former boss to call me.”

“Yeah. I wouldn’t do it if not for something so important.”

“So, what’s this important thing that made you call me?” Instead of answering, Stefan showed her the wedding card samples which made her frown and narrowed her eyes to look at the details. She gestured for Stefan to move the cards nearer to the camera so she could read and when she finally got to read the details, her eyes went wide from excitement. “Oh, my G! Your wedding?!”
