She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 798 - 798 TWENTY-NINE VI

798 TWENTY-NINE VI

Cayenne had a proud smile on her face and when Stefan looked at her, the expression on his face softened and he muttered, “How many times do I have to fall in love with you?”

Other people fall in love once with their partner and they continue to love them from that moment onwards. In Stefan’s case, there were moments when he falls in love with his wife again and again. Even when she wasn’t doing anything, when she smiles at him, he felt those fluttering wings of butterflies in his stomach. His heart would beat so fast and he would blush.

“Happy birthday, darling,” Cayenne whispered and kissed him. He, on the other hand, was still staring at her like an awestruck teenager. “Do you like it?”

“Yes, I love you,” he answered stupidly and Cayenne burst out laughing. It wasn’t the answer she was expecting but she loved it even better.

“I know you love me the most so I made sure to reciprocate that love.”

Cayenne showed him around and the first thing that Stefan saw was the whiteboard at the entrance of the venue. Many messages were written on it and most of them wished that the couple will be blessed even more instead of wishing for Stefan alone.

One wish that stood out the most was the one that Jade wrote; I wish that you will have another baby next year, and the year after that, and the next, next year as well as the next, next, next, and many more next. I wish it will be a boy, then a girl, and then a boy, or maybe a twin every year. That many.

He liked her wish but he didn’t know if he could even fulfill that. He was already with Cayenne’s pregnancy right now.

Right after checking the messages from everyone, Cayenne led him inside, and there, his birthday guests greeted him once again. From a distance, Jade came running and hugged Stefan’s leg.

.....

“Happy birthday, Uncle Stefi. Did you read my message? I wrote it very carefully and beautifully.”

“Of course, I’ve seen it. You have the most beautiful penmanship.”

Jade grinned happily at his compliment even though she knew that he was only saying it to make her feel good about herself. She knew her penmanship wasn’t the most beautiful but it wasn’t ugly either.

“I made you a gift. Well, it’s a pair because I made one for Auntie Yen, too.”

“Thank you, Jade. I’ll check it later. You enjoy the food. I’m sure that Ayen prepared a lot of sweets tonight. You have the same sweet tooth as her.”

Jade nodded her head and turned around to return to her seat.

Since he could not really approach each of the guests and thanked them for coming, Cayenne decided to bring him to the makeshift stage and handed him a microphone.

“Good evening, everyone.” Stefan greeted but his eyes shifted back to Cayenne who was standing beside him. “I’m really surprised this time.”

“You thought she forgot your birthday, right?” Travis teased since he also came across his best friend’s post around lunchtime.

Stefan chuckled at his words and everyone probably thought the same thing as his friend. Of course, they would. He really thought that Cayenne has forgotten his birthday.

“Honestly, I was upset,” he said and looked at his wife once again. “This morning when she woke up, the first thing she mentioned was about going to school, followed by something related to her exam and then, a school trip somewhere. She didn’t even greet me!”

“Cayenne resisted that long?” Someone asked from the crowd.

“She did,” Stefan answered at once. “I waited for her to greet me. I waited and waited, waited and waited but there was none until I came home. I honestly thought that she might have asked Jackson or Kyle to prepare something. Yet, when I checked them, both of them were busy working. So, when she called me to have a dinner date with her – can you imagine how happy I was?”

The adults chuckled at his words knowing how frustrated he must have been. For someone who doted on his wife and made her his world, it must have been really disappointing to think that she didn’t care about his birthday. Thankfully, it wasn’t really the case.

“I thought we were just having a simple dinner. So, if you ever see her wearing flip-flops under this elegant dress tonight, please don’t make a big deal out of it. I never really thought that there’s a party tonight.”

He knows that most of the guests were just friends and family but he was worried that they would say something to Cayenne if they find her wearing flip-flops at his birthday party.

“Thank you so much for coming everyone. I don’t know what else she has in store for me but I hope you will enjoy this party that my wife has prepared. I’m grateful that you were able to make time for me.”

“Cheers to more years with you!” Cayenne expressed and raised her glass of juice for a toast. “Happy birthday, hon.”

“Happy birthday, Stefan,” greeted his family and friends.

“Happy birthday, Boss,” cheered his employees.

“Happy birthday, son.” Magnus expressed with his raised wine glass.

When wealthy people celebrate their birthdays, it was expected that the gifts they would receive will be expensive. Their guests would probably spend more or less one thousand dollars for gifts alone.

However, it was different for Stefan. He didn’t care about the monetary value of the gift. He only cares whether it was matching clothes, accessories, and other trinkets.

Ever since he met Cayenne, he cares so much about these things that it has become his obsession. Now, he was excited to open the gifts and see what they have for him and his wife.

And he will be in for another surprise once he sees the gift coming from Dr. Albert and his wife. If she could attend it without getting any attention, she would have done it already.
