She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 499 - SILENT FIGHT

On the other hand, Stefan was busy in the kitchen. He woke up very early to cook for her breakfast, wanting to make it up to her now that she\'s upset over something he did in the past. He didn\'t allow Lucia to help him at all. He did it on his own while Lucia prepared breakfast for the rest of the family.

When Cayenne came out with her bag and books, he was also done with the food. "Come here and eat. I cooked these for you."

"Thank you." Cayenne muttered which brought a smile to his lips. Finally, she spoke to him but the happiness didn\'t last longer. "You don\'t have to send me to school yourself." Cayenne added which made Stefan blink his eyes in disbelief. "I\'m fine with the bodyguards around me." She continued.

Stefan pulled a chair across her and sat. He suddenly lost his appetite. "Why?" he asked even though he knew the reason. "I don\'t think I made a grave offense against you. I mean, it was all in the past. I don\'t even look at other women now because I have you. I only need you, Ayen."

Cayenne didn\'t say anything anymore. She wanted to say what she was really feeling at this moment but she was afraid that she\'d hurt him. After chewing her food, she raised her head and looked at him. "Give me space for now."

"Alright." Stefan agreed. At least, she was only asking him for space and not asking him to leave her. "I\'ll wait until you\'re willing to talk to me."

The atmosphere at home was tenses and even the other people were affected by it. Luiz came down and saw them in the dining room. He wanted to talk to Stefan but Cayenne looked annoyed. One thing that Luiz didn\'t want to face was his angry or annoyed sister. It\'s because she\'s very sharp-tongued when angry. But seeing how she\'s trying herself not to say anything, he felt relieved for Stefan.

Jonas came inside from the vegetable garden and saw them, too. Instead of talking to them, he only placed his hand on Stefan\'s shoulder and gave him a gentle pat. No one bothered them.

When Cayenne went to school, she didn\'t smile like she always does. She was expressionless and didn\'t bother talking to any of her classmates.

"Morning, Yen!" Noah greeted her cheerfully but he was met with a cold stare. He took a step back and sat two seats away from her. Even so, this didn\'t stop her from talking to her. "Yen, did I do something wrong? Why are you so cold to me?"

No reply came.

A woman who was sitting behind Noah lightly poke his back to get his attention. "What is it?" he asked upon turning around to see who it was.

The woman smiled faintly and leaned a bit closer. "Don\'t take it to heart. Something must have happened at home. She didn\'t talk to anyone and that didn\'t make you an exception."

"Oh. Thanks." Noah looked towards Cayenne once again but since she didn\'t want to talk, he didn\'t press on her he.

Cayenne paid attention to the discussion but she didn\'t pay attention to the students in school. She was immersed in her own little world, doing her best to look at the positive things her husband has done for her.

Meanwhile…

"Is sir Stefan angry? His face looked so cold."

"Did he get into fight with his wife?"

"Did something happen to the company? Our boss looked like so terrifying just now."

"The boss was very strict during the meeting."

"Sir Stefan didn\'t even bring his personal laptop with him. He probably fought with his wife."

Whispers about Stefan erupted in the company and they were all curious as to what happened to him. They chat with their friends and even sent a message through the company group chat wherein the three secretaries have also joined. Chris didn\'t know and he wasn\'t in the office anymore, although he was still part of the chat group since no one kicked him out.

Elena has no idea and has no intention of knowing as well. She\'ll never pry on her boss\' private life. As for Tristan, he had a vague knowledge of what has happened because Stefan told him to watch over Cayenne from his laptop. It\'s obvious that the two of them has an argument.

\'Sigh. These love birds don\'t know how many people gets affected by their quarrel.\' Tristan thought to himself while following Cayenne\'s every action through the school\'s security and monitoring system.

Jillyanna also caught the news of their fighting but she didn\'t have the intention to help them about it since Cayenne didn\'t ask her for help. As much as she wants, she also wanted these two people to figure out their issues and solve it themselves. It would help them grow as a person and help them build more trust and understanding for each other.

The day ended and Stefan didn\'t come to pick her up. Cayenne didn\'t care and went home with the bodyguards. When she arrived home, she looked for him and found him in the study room. She took a deep breath and walked towards him with light steps.

"I\'m fine now." She said which made Stefan raise her head to look her in the eyes.

"Are you sure? You are not upset anymore?"

"I thought so hard about it and I am not upset anymore. I\'m okay now."

Stefan stood up from his seat and walked up to her. He pulled her by the wrist and hugged her tightly, pressing her body with his as close as he could. "Thank you, sweetheart. I don\'t know what I would do if our fight continues."

"Was it considered fighting?"

"It\'s a silent fighting. And I was utterly defeated."

"Oh. Sorry about that." Cayenne smiled and hugged him back, inhaling his familiar scent which made her relax. "Next time, don\'t bring me to places where I might bump onto one of your flings. I don\'t like knowing them."

"I won\'t. I won\'t ever bring you to those places."

The two of them just stood in the middle of the room, hugging each other happily. Stefan kissed the top of her head, tilted her head a little and kissed her temple, her brows and her eyes. He lifted her chin, making her look up to him as he kissed the tip of her nose and her face. He was just about to kiss her lips when there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, there is an urgent matter."
