She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 736

Chapter 736: UNTITLED

At night, Cayenne snuggled warmly with her husband who spoils her a lot. Today, she thought that their trust and care for each other have grown deeper. Stefan still pampers her at the same time, he started to make her face challenges as well. If it was before, he would face the challenges for her. He will be her shield.

“So, why did you let me see the news? Usually, you would hide this kind of thing from me.”

“But I cannot hide them forever. Honestly, I thought of covering this matter and just letting you continue what you love doing. Then, I realized that you won’t grow from there. As much as I want you to depend on me, I also want you to be stronger.”

“It was really unexpected but I am happy.”

“I’m glad. I thought you’d be hurt and disappointed after what happened.”

“I did.” She admitted and her voice turned low when she remembered the news. “I can’t really do anything about it now. I just hope that those children will be fine after this.”

“Don’t worry, I told Jill about your concern and she already talked to the headmaster of their orphanage. They will be taking the child into their custody.”

.....

Feeling relieved and happy, Cayenne finally fell asleep in her husband’s arms. She even had a smile on her face as she slept.

With a new goal in mind, Cayenne spent her days sorting the donations she received as well as organizing fundraising events. Since her office is located in Stefan’s company, he didn’t need to spend a long time traveling just to see her. He even thought of bringing his work to Cayenne’s office and working there with her which his wife refused blatantly.

Cayenne worked day in and day out without noticing anything at all. She was busier than when she was attending her classes. Thinking about the smiles that the kids will show on their faces upon receiving her gifts, she was motivated to do more.

Her friends donated other things for her to sell and Jill even helped her organize and auction. Since knew a lot of people in the entertainment business, it was easier for her to gather people from wealthy family.

Her work was the greatest distraction which was advantageous to Stefan. He was able to have a meeting with the wedding organizers without getting busted by his wife. He was able to talk to his house manager and the interior designer with peace of mind.

“The first batch of the flowers will arrive tomorrow. It was for the garden. Also, you have to come once in a while to train the dogs with the hired trainer. I also asked Elena to schedule a complete house tour for you. It’s 99% done and will be completed if you say so.”

“I’ll follow through with the schedule.”

The wedding was a week from now and Stefan was very excited. He didn’t know how this will turn out but he was giving it his all for the happiness of his wife. [I’ll probably get scolded for spending so much money.] He thought and grinned because this was the most expected reaction from her.

A lot of people knew about this now but they were tight-lipped and he was thankful for that. His only worry was Monet and Thomas Aizenberg. He felt that something was wrong with these two people. When he calls Monet while speaking with Thomas, she would say that she’s not available. If he calls Thomas with Monet on the line, he would say that he was busy. It was obvious that they were avoiding each other. And he has no idea what happened that caused this rift between them.

In London, Thomas was lying on his bed with his camera next to him. Some images flooded his mind and he wasn’t sure if this was made by him subconsciously or if this really happened. Added to the fact that Monet was avoiding him, he felt like he did something wrong to her.

“Did it happen or not? Happen or not,” he muttered again and again without getting close to his conclusion. “Should I just act like normal? If something did happen, isn’t it unfair to her that I’m acting like nothing happened? Ugh. What should I do?”

On the other hand, Monet was cleaning up her room and packed some of her personal things that she needed for work. Some of them have been moved to her other property which was in Baguio. She likes this place so much because it felt like a different world to her. Thus, when she decided to build a rest house, she decided to buy a spacious lot from this province and created her safe haven.

She still got so much work left to do and all of them were custom-designed dresses that needed utmost attention and supervision during production. This will be very hectic and tiring for her but she will find a way to deal with it. The only thing she needed to finalize was the wedding surprise for Cayenne.

Making sure that nothing will go wrong, she sent Stefan a message. “I will arrive there three days before the surprise for the fitting of the dress. Just tell her whatever excuse you can think of.”

“Are you coming with Thomas?”

“No.”

This cold ‘No’ told Stefan that something really happened. He really wanted to know because they were his friends but he didn’t want to appear nosy into their lives.

“Alright. I’ll tell Ayen about it.”

“You are looking at this man again.” The woman said while wiping the other woman’s face and arms. “Do you like him?”

Every day, she talks to her even though she was not getting any response. Whenever she could find anything related to Stefan Dumrique, she would buy it and show it to the other woman because her eyes only showed emotion when she sees this man.

“Do you know him?”

There was no answer. She lost count of how many times she asked this question already but she was met with silence again and again.

It has been more than 27 years since this woman arrived with Dr. Albert. She was unconscious at that time with so many apparatuses attached to her body. Even though he was spending so much money on her, he didn’t give up. Three years after that, she gained consciousness but she could not talk or move. Until now, she was not making any sound and she could only walk several steps a day with the help of her nurse.

“Alright. I have cleaned your arms and face already. Let’s go and eat.”
