She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 308 - GATHERING II

Brown was holding a small bowl and inside it was boiled corn kernels with milk. "Do you want to have a try?" He asked Cayenne while handing her the small white bowl. "It tastes really good."

"Thank you." Cayenne received it and shared it with Stefan but Brown put his hand on her wrist to stop her. "I can\'t share it with him?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because it\'s from me."

Cayenne looked at him in confusion but Stefan wasn\'t the least bit displeased with Brown\'s attitude. He knew why couldn\'t share it with him.

"Wifey, it comes from him and if Valkyrie sees me eating food given by him, he won\'t be able to sleep a wink at night." Having him explained it that way, the tip of Brown\'s earlobe started to redden.

"I\'ll have someone give him another bowl." Brown left the two of them and went to an older lady and asked her to bring another bowl of corn kernel with milk.

Seeing what he did, Valkyrie smiled cheekily.

There was a huge bamboo house at the farm where people came in and out. It was their makeshift kitchen for the gathering like this and whoever likes to cook and go there. They were just eating the corn kernels with milk as a kind of dessert, a product of Savannah\'s experiment. Although it was just an experiment of simple ingredients, it was indeed good.

In the kitchen, they were preparing for the dinner that everyone will share later while people outside were playing, chit-chatting and eating fruits as well as other food that Savannah was experimenting in the kitchen.

"I heard that Arthur was making a move against you two." Travis commented while carrying his son in his arms. "Do you need help?"

Cayenne waved her hands at him in refusal. "There\'s no need but thank you for the offer. Stefan an I will be able to handle him. We\'ve made preparations but he actually hasn\'t made a move yet. I\'m starting to think that he disappeared."

"Don\'t belittle your enemy." Travis retorted. "I\'m not sure but I think you\'re facing someone like my wife did a year ago."

"What do you mean?" Cayenne asked in curiosity. She\'s friends with Jillyanna but she never pried on her privacy unless she\'d tell her first. Right now, it was Travis who was talking to her and she wasn\'t sure if what she did was considered prying.

Travis put Raizel down inside his stroller and sat on the chair across them. "My wife met a psycho. That man loved my wife\'s mother, Elizabeth. When he saw my wife, he thought she was Elizabeth and he kidnapped her. Thankfully, nothing bad happened. As for you, I\'m not sure what\'s going on inside Arthur\'s brain but, he may have an obsession towards you. Both of you should be careful. If he wants to get you, he will either attack you or attack Stefan. He will never make a move if you two are together."

Stefan\'s eyes turned cold and his hands were clenched into fists on his side. "Since that\'s the possible case, I might as well let him rot in wait. I will never leave my wife alone."

"That\'s good. Anyway, I\'m just letting you know. If you need help, you can just call us directly." Travis stood up and pushed the stroller towards the direction of his wife.

Jade had been keeping silent all this while, sitting beside Cayenne while munching on her apple. She didn\'t comment on anything because it was the conversation between adults but she was already praying mentally for their safety.

When Travis left, another person came and chatted with them, not letting the two of them became bored. Cayenne met Winter, Travis\' cousin and her fiancé Gabriel. Both of them were from the military and were high ranking officers. Even so, they were both humble and easy to get along with.

"Do you want to look around?" Winter asked Cayenne while waving her hand towards the large expanse of land.

"Is it alright?" Cayenne asked in return with full of hesitation.

"Of course." Winter nodded her head like a hen pecking a grain on the ground. "Do you want to come with us Jade?"

"Can I?"

"Yes, you can. But let\'s ask your father first or he will kick me if he can\'t see you around."

"Okay. I\'ll go to daddy and ask permission." Jade jumped down from her seat and ran towards her father and mother. She looked so adorable, making Cayenne think of having her own baby.

Naturally, Stefan noticed the expression of longing on her face but he steeled himself to wait for two more years. But sometimes, our plans don\'t really go our way.

After getting approval from her parents, Jade looked around the farm with Cayenne and Winter. Stefan was following them, paying attention to Cayenne\'s every expression. He handed her a handkerchief when he saw sweats dotting her forehead. He gave her his cap when she shielded her face from the sunlight. When he saw her looking on a certain fruit for a long time, he\'d send a message to Travis that he\'d pluck that fruit for her.

In the end, when Cayenne turned back to see how her husband was doing, she was utterly speechless in surprise. He was already holding a basket with different kinds of fruits.

"Why do you have so many fruits? Where did you get that basket?" Cayenne asked while looking around.

"I plucked these fruits for you. As for the basket, Travis asked someone to send this to me."

Watching them together, Winter couldn\'t stop herself from shaking her head while holding back her laughter. \'Another man joined the wife-doting husband club.\' She told herself while taking few steps away from them to give them space. She turned to Jade and smiled at her. "Little princess, would you like to see the flower garden? I heard that many flowers have bloomed yesterday."

"Auntie, you can just tell me honestly. You just want to give them some alone time, right?" Jade retorted with a cheeky smile on her lips.

"Such a smart little angel."
