She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 182 - CANNOT ESCAPE HER FATE

"Tsk! You were just sitting most of the time." Chris muttered softly with a look of disdain.

"What do you know? If I say I\'m tired then, I\'m tired." David responded with his chillingly cold voice. "You can say you\'re tired, too. I don\'t mind. You can even lash at me. But can you do it some other time, I really need to rest."

Chris didn\'t expect the man to hear him but he didn\'t say anything. He just turned around and went back to the back garden. He still needed to wait for the food to arrive.

David watched Chris\' back and sighed. "Why do I even like this cold-hearted man?" he told himself before stepping out of the car, calling his butler to come and pick him up. He drove the car when he came to the house but with how he was feeling now, he was worried that something will happen to him on the road.

At six in the evening, Stefan had finally decided to come home and Cayenne couldn\'t be happier upon hearing his decision. They bought a lot of things and she had no idea what to do with some of them. They just bought it because they came in pair.

"Look at that –" Cayenne told Stefan while pointing her finger to a car in front of their house. "Isn\'t that David\'s car?"

"How did you know?"

"I saw that car when he parked it outside his house last time. I still remember the plate number."

"He came this afternoon but he left after. I guess the butler came to pick him up which was why his car is still here."

"I see." Cayenne mumbled as she was about to step out of the car but then, she realized something. "Why did he come when we\'re not around?"

"He said that he wanted to give us something."

"O-okay." She went to the back of the car and picked the shopping bags so that she can help her husband in bringing them inside.

Seeing that they\'re finally home, Chris went out and greeted them. He helped them carry the things inside and left, not wanting to disturb the lovers and their date but he frowned when he saw David\'s car still parked outside. \'Why is this still here? Didn\'t he leave already?\' he told himself, feeling worried that something has happened to him. He wanted to come back inside and asked Stefan but he gave up the idea and decided to call the Wang\'s home phone instead. It was what David used for his business. \'Did I hurt him with my words earlier? It was very careless of me. That man is surely sensitive.\' He thought while waiting for someone to pick up. And when it did, he didn\'t know why, but he felt a little bit disappointed that it was the butler who picked up the phone. He talked to the butler for few minutes and after confirming that David was alright, he ended the call and went to his own and lonely apartment.

Meanwhile…

Cayenne stood in the middle of the living room, awed by the new look of their house. There were picture frames that contains her pictures or Stefan\'s pictures and there were some that contained the both of them. There were even photos of her when she was in college and she had no idea how they obtained these pictures. Some of them were taken recently and some were photos from several years ago.

"How did you get these pictures?" Cayenne asked Stefan. She knew that no other man would want to obtain these pictures aside from her husband. "I look really young here. If I remember this picture was taken when I was still in my senior years in high school." She commented while caressing one of the frames.

"I must give Luna a good reward. She helped me get lots of your pictures from your different classmates. Some of them came from Arthur. I bet, he had no idea that I was getting them."

"You\'re cheeky as ever." Cayenne poked his waist. "Is the things that David was working this afternoon?"

"Hn."

"There\'s more here." Stefan led her to the back garden, forgetting the items that they just bought, leaving them in the living room. "Close your eyes." Stefan told her and held her hand to make sure that she won\'t stumble and fall. "We\'re almost there."

"Where are we going?" Cayenne asked him, a little bit excited and nervous because she noticed that the direction they were heading to was a bit unfamiliar to her.

"Just follow me." Stefan whispered to her as they slowly approached the surprise that he asked Chris to prepare. "Open your eyes."

Cayenne slowly opened her eyes and looked around the place. It was a bit blurry at first but after blinking several times, she clearly saw the things in front of her.

"The back garden is this beautiful. Why didn\'t I notice it before?" Cayenne blurted out. There were so many flowers in the garden and it was very bright because of the little white lights installed. In the middle was a table with a candle lit dinner for the two of them.

Before, she was just staying with him because of her job. So, she didn\'t explore the house that much. Later on, she was interested to come to the back garden but she didn\'t want to go alone. Stefan was always busy and when he\'s not, he\'s got other plans for them. So many things have happened and she eventually forget about this back garden.

"This is for you." Stefan gave him another flower pot with yellow tulips in it. He still remembered that Cayenne didn\'t like receiving bouquets of flowers because they will eventually wither and die. She prefers flowers in a pot with roots and leaves, still alive and blooming. She wants to take care of them and see how they will grow under her care.

"Thank you." Cayenne accepted the flower pot happily. "I\'m glad you didn\'t give me a bouquet of flowers."

"I know you don\'t like receiving those." Stefan responded and pulled out the chair for her to sit. "Let\'s eat. I know you\'re tired from shopping this afternoon."

"It\'s fine. I was with you anyway." Cayenne replied with a tender smile. Why would she complain when she was with her husband? In fact, she was happy instead of tired. The only thing that she felt negative about was that, he spent so much money once again.

The two of them started eating dinner happily. They talked about their plans for the garden and what they can do about it. She wanted to make it look like Jillyanna\'s garden but she has limited space so, she gave up with the idea.

She was happily munching her food while her brain was making ample mental preparation with what\'s about to happen after dinner. She cannot escape the fate of a wife on the night of their honeymoon.
