She's My Sleeping Pill

They were all busy when Ferdinand came down to get a breather from his room.

Chris saw the old man when he went inside to get his phone from Rizzy\'s bag. He only nodded his head to Ferdinand without saying anything. He still hadn\'t forgotten the times when the old man turned Stefan\'s life miserable.

"You saw my grandpa," Stefan muttered while placing some fish baits inside the bucket next to him. "You don\'t have to play nice if you don\'t want to. You can just ignore him."

"I did," Chris answered with no hesitations. "Don\'t worry about me. I know how to be civil."

Stefan just grinned and Chris mirrored him. At the end of the day, nothing could erase the fact that Chris was one of the people that Stefan trusted the most with his life.

About fifteen minutes later, with the bodyguards\' assistance, they all went to the cabin where Dr. Albert and Latticia live. Seeing her grandchildren visiting her, Latticia was overwhelmed with joy. She immediately took Zeki from the nanny and held him in her arms.

"Do you want to look around? It\'s your first time to see this place, right?" Latticia asked the little boy and slowly walked to the balcony with Dr. Albert staying by her side. He had to make sure that she won\'t trip, especially since she was holding a baby in her hand. "Look at that beautiful lake. Would you believe that your father had it constructed?

Isn\'t he kind?"

Zeki was just listening to his grandmother\'s words and every time she smiled, he would reach out his little hands to touch her face.

"Have a seat," Dr. Albert said and brought a rattan chair to her and a soft pillow to cushion her back. "You are not as strong as everyone else. You have to spend your stamina wisely if you want to keep holding that baby.

"I know. I know. Stop nagging me."

With Zeki nestling in his grandma\'s arms, the nannies took care of the other two children while the adults went to go fishing.

Not long after, some of the helpers came with lots of groceries to cook food for lunch.

Nothing was special on this day, but Stefan and Cayenne loved to just celebrate and spend time with the family.

"I called Dom to bring everyone here including my staff," Cayenne told Stefan after she finished setting up her fishing rod. "It\'s nice to do things like this once in a while."

"We can do this again," Stefan responded and gave her a light kiss on her forehead. "Go and do what you want. I will look after your equipment."

Cayenne cheerfully left her fishing rod to Stefan and went to chat with Rizzy. When they left the mansion, she didn\'t forget to bring the magazine that Luna showed her before.

Rizzy was also interested in the magazine that Cayenne brought since the latter seemed really excited to open it. "Home design?" she inquired when she looked at the first page. "You\'re not planning to buy us furniture, are you?"

"Well, I was planning to if you like, but if you don\'t want to, I won\'t insist."

"I really appreciate the thought," Rizzy said with a faint smile on her lips. "But Chris and I promised that we would buy the furniture together."

"How about the appliances?"

"I\'m not really sure, but since it is a wedding, I think some people would gift us things, right? We will just buy the ones that we won\'t get."

Cayenne pouted and flipped to the next page. She really wanted to do something for the couple and the next page gave her an idea. "Can you let me design your living room, instead? Just the living room."

"Why would you want to do that?"

"To remind you that I am part of your life."

Rizzy was astonished at Cayenne\'s response. Others thought that giving gifts was such a hassle so they would sometimes just buy whatever they could find. However, Cayenne wanted to design something that would remind the couple about her. She was really an oddball.

"Uh... I\'ll tell Chris about it first. You should talk to Stefan about your plan, too." Rizzy responded after some time. "That won\'t be cheap, you know."

"I know, but I don\'t really mind. Stefan would surely support my idea as well. I\'ll just have to work hard to compensate for it."

"That\'s the point. Stefan would be upset if you work so much because of us."

"Trust me, darling. He won\'t."

"Did you just call someone else \'darling\'?" Stefan blurted out even when he was sitting a few meters from her. "How could you do that?"

Rizzy chuckled awkwardly after becoming the target of Stefan\'s jealousy. She didn\'t expect that he would get jealous of her. She was a woman! For Pete\'s sake! [Oh! He even got jealous of his own children.

Never mind this childish guy.] Rizzy thought and laughed softly.

Cayenne also rolled her eyes at him. "You, jealous freak, stop listening to our conversation. Focus on catching the fish. We need lots of them."

"Aye! Aye! Captain!" Stefan said and went back to fishing.

"I thought everything was just a rumor," Chris muttered beside Stefan. "It seems like you have really become a jealous freak."

"My wife knows me best, so there\'s no need to worry about me being jealous."

Chris didn\'t know what to say at this point. He heard from so many people that a man could be very childish in front of his wife, and today was Chris\' first time watching it in person. He can\'t help himself but smile. "I\'m so happy for you."

After half an hour, the four of them showed their buckets to each other and they saw that Cayenne caught a lot. Without saying a single word, they all knew what happened. How could she catch a lot of milkfish and big tilapias when she was just chatting with Rizzy most of the time?

Everyone who knew the truth could only smile helplessly at the wife-doting husband. They saw him put most of his catch into Cayenne\'s bucket and pretended like nothing happened. Stefan was probably the only one who thought of doing this to show off his love.

They could only sigh.

With all their catch, they went back to the cabin and told the helpers to cook the fish however they wanted. Kyle came with Jonas and they decided to help as well. Jonas was a good cook and so was Kyle. It was time for them to show off their cooking skills.

When Stanley came with the whole Sugo family, he helped to cook as well.

In the end, the gathering became a cooking show.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, eating and drinking, Cayenne noticed that someone was missing. She looked around to see if she just missed her among the crowd, but she looked everywhere already and Addie was not really around.

"Where\'s Addie?" Cayenne asked Zaire who was eating with the rest of her staff and Luiz. "I haven\'t seen her. Her husband didn\'t do anything absurd again, did her?"

Her staff looked at each other and pondered whether to tell Cayenne the truth or not. Addie told them to not say anything about her current condition.

"She\'s going through something, isn\'t she?"

Callum slowly nodded his head in response. "Sorry, Miss Yen. Addie didn\'t want us to tell you because you would be worried again. She just went to the hospital for a checkup. Collins went with her."
