She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 886: CAYENNE MISUNDERSTOOD

When they returned home, Stefan just tossed his briefcase on the couch and immediately went over to his kids. Unfortunately, they were sleeping. His face fell in disappointment as he watched this sleeping face. She thought that he was just kidding about playing with the kids, but it seemed like he was being serious.

At the same time, even though he kept saying that the kids only came second to her, Cayenne could that they were equally important to him. He just kept on denying it.

"We're home!" Cayenne said to announce their arrival since her husband didn't have the time to do so. "Where's Dad and Auntie Ingrid?" she asked Luiz who was busy chatting with his girlfriend.

"Uncle Reuben is in the kitchen, making simple desserts for you. Auntie Ingrid is in the backyard. She's probably playing with her son and the dogs."

Cayenne nodded her head without saying anything and picked up the tossed briefcase which contained a lot of important documents. "Let's go and shower first," she said while walking upstairs ahead of her husband. "We can stay in the nursery room tonight if you want."

"Right! We don't have to go to work tomorrow, so we can stay up all night," Stefan agreed that almost caused Cayenne to slip on the staircase.

She was sure she said they'd be staying in the nursery room, not to stay up all night.

When she looked back to look at her husband, he was grinning from ear to ear. "Hon, we will be staying with the kids, and you are wrong about not working tomorrow, by the way."

"Yeah. We will stay up all night in the nursery room," Stefan responded which shocked Cayenne to the deepest part of her bone marrow. She was well aware that her husband could be very shameless whenever he wanted to, but she didn't expect he would do it in the nursery room where the kids sleep!

Watching her reaction, Stefan leaned closer and slung his arm over her shoulders. "Wifey, why are you looking like that? Did I say something wrong?"

"Something wrong? You didn't know?" Cayenne questioned exasperatedly. "You just said we will stay up all night in the nursery room. Nur-se-ry room! Seriously?"

"Can't we? I mean, they slept quite early tonight, so if they would wake up later, I can play with them until they feel sleepy again, right? We may even stay up all night. Or is that not allowed?"

Understanding what he meant now, Cayenne's face flushed and she lightly kicked his leg. "I hate you!" she muttered and ran away.

"I didn't lock the door so you could get inside. I didn't expect you would use the secret door without even trying to open the other."

"So, you never really intended to lock me out?"

"Why would I do that?" she asked with a frown. "Anyway, go and take a shower already," she said and kissed his cheek. "I'll go downstairs first after changing my clothes."

"I have never heard your sister and brother-in-law fight, not until today. What happened?" Clarisse asked Luiz over the phone. They were having a video call when Cayenne started scolding Stefan earlier.

"They weren't fighting. Stefan was just teasing my sister and she got the wrong idea."

"Will they be, okay?"

"Yes, they will be fine. You will see."

About twenty minutes later, Cayenne came down with a smile on her face. "Hi, Clarisse. How are you doing? I hope the reporters aren't disturbing anymore."

"Oh, yes, they stopped. I'm very grateful for your concern. Thank you for helping us find a solution."

"No problem. You are like a sister to me already. If anyone bothers you again, don't hesitate to let us know. Just focus on your studies and visit us when you have time."

"I promise, I'll come over once I'm done with the crucial research I'm working on."

Cayenne talked to Clarisse for a few more minutes before bidding farewell to see her father in the kitchen. Not long after, Stefan came down as well and was wearing matching pajamas with his wife. He only waved his hand to Clarisse before going over to the kids again.

"Yeah, you are right. They're fine," Clarisse told Luiz with a faint smile. "By the way, we are going to Teacher Chan's wedding, right? How are we going to act there? Are we going to treat each other as strangers?"
