She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 844: A SONG FOR HIS WIFE, NOT FOR THE TRIPLETS

Note: Song Used is titled "Till I Met You by Kuh Ledesma"

*

Seven months later...

The triplets just turned nine months old but Stefan already compiled two photo albums of them. Of course, Cayenne was also included in most of the pictures.

There were photos of them crawling, eating, and doing other things, that Stefan found special. Yet, he still treated them as his rivals.

There was one time when Cayenne woke up in the middle of the night because of the children's cries. Stefan was quick on his feet and ran out of their room to get to their babies. She knew he'd take care of them but she still decided to follow him after a little while.

It's been a while since the last time he sang a song to her and to her surprise, he was really singing for their kids.

*** I never dreamed

Cause I always thought that dreaming was for kids

Just a childish thing

And I could swear

Love was just a game that children play

And no more than a game

Till I met you

I never knew what love was

Till I met you

This feeling seems to grow more every day

I love you more each day

I believe you

I believe in every word when you say:

"I love you all the way"

"Did she lose her memories?"

"No."

"Then, why is she staying with that bastard?"

"Because he saved her when your wife wanted to kill her. He had to use another dead body to help her escape death. Something you couldn't do for her."

Magnus was stumped for words. He wanted to deny his son's accusation, to refute him but he also knew that Stefan was right.

"Dad, she's happy with him. During the time she was gone, presumed dead, weren't you happy with your wife as well? If you could live a happy life, why can't she?"

"I still love her all this time."

"No, dad. It's only your ego saying that. You cannot accept that Clara bested you, that she was able to hurt my mom without you knowing the truth until a few years ago. It's guilt, not love."

Magnus sat there unmoving. For the first time in a while now, he hated his son for judging him. Yet, he couldn't utter a single word against him. He just couldn't understand why he would allow his mother to stay with Jean Albert when the man was one of the people who made her suffer so much.

"Some people would rather keep the truth to make the people they care about live happily. I didn't tell you because you will only feel remorse toward her. I don't want you to keep living in regrets dad."

"Aside from you and Yen, who else knew of her real identity?"

"Uncle Stan."

Magnus nodded his head and leaned back on the couch to rest his head. "Is she married to Jean Albert? Is it true that they're together?"

"Yes."

"She loves him?"

"I can't answer that. I just knew that she's relaxed and happy when she's with him."

Magnus sighed, closed his eyes, and spoke, "I wish I didn't investigate the truth. Son, I can't just pretend that I don't know."

Stefan didn't know what to tell his father either. They can't turn back time and stop his investigation, and surely, it would be difficult to pretend ignorance of the truth with Latticia around as well.

"I don't know if talking to her would bring closure to your relationship," he said and stood up. "Dad, what you and mom had is now in the past,"

As soon as Stefan turned his back, Magnus broke down and cried silently. He really loved her. In all those times that he was with Clara, he had been constantly thinking of his first love.

Only Magnus knew what were his true feelings for the woman. No one should judge him for it or weigh the value of his emotions for her.

Stefan felt sad for his father but he would never ever suggest to them to get back together.
