She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 885: JULIA WENT SHOPPING WITH THE COUPLE

Stefan and Cayenne's last agenda for the day was to buy furniture and appliances for Chris and Rissy's living room. The couple finally agreed to Cayenne's way of gifting them, so before they could change their minds, Cayenne told Stefan that they must get it done as soon as possible.

Since Stefan went to the newly built plaza for inspection before it would be open to the public, they decided to just meet at Coffee Bay. When they got there, he already finished drinking a cup of black coffee.

Cayenne kissed him on the lips and whispered, "I thought your kiss would taste bitter," which caused Stefan to chuckle and bury his head in the crook of her neck and shoulder.

"I didn't expect you'd flirt with me in public," he said and lightly bit her shoulder before licking it. Cayenne could only bite her lips to stop herself from moaning.

"I didn't flirt with you. You did."

"I guess, I did," Stefan retorted and laughed once again. "Anyway, shall we go now? We don't have so much time left. I want to go home and play with the kids."

"Really now?" Cayenne said with a look of disbelief on her face.

"I'm not lying."

"Promise?"

"Well, maybe a little. I'll play with them for a while then, I'll play with you until midnight."

Julia, who was standing right in front of the couple, didn't know where to place herself or what she should do at this point. Cayenne and Stefan were flirting openly in public. She had never done such a thing with her husband before nor she planned to do the same thing with him.

The couple was shameless.

[Okay. Maybe Cayenne was influenced by Stefan. I'm sure she's not like this based on the first time I met her.]

"We can ask Julia for advice if needed," Stefan said which pulled Julia back to reality. "She lived in Italy and their house there got a lot of old yet beautiful pieces. We can take some inspiration from my grandpa's mansion there, too."

"I'm not really an expert, but I hope I can help," Julia said in response.

With the bodyguards surrounding them, the three of them went to the Home Décor floor of the mall. Turning 360 degrees on this floor, you would see nothing but home appliances, furniture, and little things for decorations.

This part of the mall wasn't as crowded as those other floors since it's not every day that people would come to buy new kitchenware or appliances, but it still had a decent number of customers which the bodyguards needed to be wary of.

There were showrooms on this floor as well and one could even copy the showroom that the employees painstakingly prepared for their customers.

However, Cayenne didn't want to do that. She wanted to choose the things she wanted to place in the living room that would help the couple live in comfort.

"Do you have photos of the empty living room? It should help us choose things," Julia said and Cayenne fished out her phone to see the pictures that Rissy sent her this morning. "Is the wall painted mint green? I'm not sure if it was because of the light when this was taken, but it seemed to be that the wall is painted mint green."

"It is. Rissy loves things with a greenish hue, so Chris requested the living room to be painted this way."

"I think a little bit of golden items would look good," Stefan said when he spotted a golden chandelier. "Rissy and Chris have lots of certificates and medals, we should buy shelves for them with glass doors, too."

The three of them collaborated to find the best things for Chris and Rissy. Julia had no idea that it was for a wedding. She thought that Cayenne was just gifting someone and she didn't pry on it either.

At 7:00 PM, they bought almost all of the things that Cayenne had listed on her phone. The rest of the items which they didn't manage to find, they decided to just order them online while the others could be crafted personally by a carpenter that they knew.

"Let's call it a day," Stefan said while waiting for the cashier to finish inputting their order on the computer. "Do you want to grab dinner on the way?"

"No. I want to eat at home. Luiz just sent me a message that Dad and Auntie Ingrid came over. He's cooking dinner for us."

Hearing their conversation, Julia pretended to check her phone as well. "I got to go," she said as she stood up from her seat. "My friends told them they're on the way. I need to meet with them. Thanks for letting me come along."

"Thanks for helping us, too," Cayenne said with a faint smile. "I hope we could spend more time like this."

"But you don't shop a lot, right?"

"I don't but I would whenever I get some time off. I'll be visiting an orphanage next week. Do you want to come with me and something for them?"

"Sure. Just ring me up. I'll go first. You both take care," Julia said and left.

Now that only the two of them were left, Cayenne and Stefan sighed. Julia seemed really genuine, but there were occasional times when she wears a creepy smile as if she was up to something no good again. They just couldn't put their guard down around her.

"Don't worry, hon. I won't let her come into contact with the children until we're not certain of her changes yet," Stefan told Cayenne when she was still looking down worriedly. "I will never let her hurt you and the children."

"I know that. I know you would protect us, but sometimes, I really wish that she has changed for good. I don't want to keep scheming or putting my guard against others."

"Then, shall we give them the villa?"

"Are you sure? If it's just me, I have no qualms about giving that place to them. I mean, we don't live there and I don't think we'd ever live in that place in the future. You even have properties in Tuscany that we're not using, too."

"I'm not sure about selling the mansion in Tuscany yet, but I am now sure I wanted to give the house to Celestine."

"Do you think Grandpa would be happy to know about our plans?"

"He told me to deal with them as I see fit as long as I won't hurt them."

"They're lucky to have you, but you're very unlucky to have them."

"They don't matter to me now. Next week, I'll process everything and hand over the house to them. I'll be bringing Uncle Wesley and Leonora to help us."
