Chapter 715

Cayenne wanted to answer him right away and tell him that she’d hate that person for the rest of her life, but looking at Stefan’s expression, she swallowed her words down her throat and held his hands. “I...I will be lying to you if I’d say...if I’d say I won’t hate that person.” She said as she tightened her hold on him. “At the same time, I cannot judge someone without knowing the truth. I need facts. A person wouldn’t kill a child for no reason. Although no reason could offset a crime, I would probably hate that person less if I know the truth.”

“You are so kind, Ayen. You are so kind that it hurts me even more.”

“What do you mean with that? Stop acting strange. Your problem is my problem. You said that we should deal our problems hand in hand.”

“I know. I remember that now. Anyway, this isn’t the right time to talk about the details. I will tell you everything once we get home. Trust me.”

“Hn.”

She promised not to get affected so when they arrived at Arc Center for Cancer Patients, she forced herself to smile. She pushed the issue to the deepest recesses of her brain. She had to play things by ear as she went through the whole event. Except for Stefan, no one was doubting her expression. She looked happy and that was all that matters to them.

However, Luiz was feeling complicated and every time he sees Stefan, he would be reminded of the news that he read earlier. To give himself a little bit of space and to avoid saying something that he would regret later on, he didn’t join them in visiting the second venue. He made some random excuse and left. Only Clarisse stayed because she wanted to be there in his behalf.

.....

There was a different event and surprises for the people at the Arc Center of Cancer Patients. Ninety percent of the patients there had undergone chemotherapy and it caused them to loss so much hair. To make them feel happy and appreciated for fighting hard against their illness, with the help of the organizers, Cayenne bought them different kinds of wigs. To make it more special, she asked the organizer to hire several hairdressers. In that way, they can trim and style the wigs according to the person who will wear it.

Aside from this, she donated a lot of money to each of them for their medical expenses. Although it wasn’t much compared to the total expenses of their treatment at the very least, it could lessen up the huge amount.

“Cayenne is really a blessing to many. I didn’t expect to witness this side of her.” Faith commented while watching Cayenne giving out snacks to the staffs.

“Honestly, I thought she’d be a gold digger.” One of the organizers stated in whisper. “Don’t get me wrong. I’m pretty sure that I am not the only person who thought of that. I mean, when I first heard of her as Stefan’s wife, her background was questionable and she wasn’t even known. She was just a normal woman and on top of that, she was his employee. Then, time went by and I heard so many things about her, and I realized that this woman, even though she came from a poor family, she has rich heart.”

“Right!” Noah exclaimed happily since he was someone who laid his eyes on Cayenne before. He was confident with his choice and he knew that Cayenne was someone worthy to love. “Cayenne is generous and she doesn’t discriminate anyone, but she can be fierce when she felt there’s a need to defend something or someone.”

“You go to the same university, right? How is she as a student?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Cayenne is really smart. So far, she has been keeping the top spot ...”

On the side, some of the staffs and organizers were chatting with Noah and Faith about Cayenne. Although they had several misconceptions about her in the past, right now, they all look up to her because of her big heart.

The event ended with a feast for everyone and Cayenne was happily munching on some sweets that she got. Because of this special occasion, Stefan’s problem completely disappeared from her mind. She just focused on making everyone smile and giving them hope in life.

On the other hand, Stefan received a message from Tristan. They have secured the woman and was currently placed in one of the hotels that Stefan owned. Supposedly, he was going to deal with her on his own and clean this mess without anyone knowing anything. However, now that Cayenne wanted to gather facts and to prevent her from hating him even more, Stefan was left with no other choice but to take the woman into custody and make her say the truth to Cayenne.

It doesn’t matter if other people will judge him as a devil in disguise as long as Cayenne knows the truth.

Aroun 8:00 in the evening, once they parted ways from everyone, Stefan’s hands started to sweat from anxiety. He asked her what she would do if someone she knows actually killed a child, but it would be a different matter if the person he was talking about was himself. Cayenne had been looking forward to have children with him and it would be devastating if the person in question was her own husband.

“Love?” Cayenne muttered and linked their fingers together. “Are we not going home tonight?”

“No, we’re not. I’m bringing you to meet someone from my past.”

“Is this why you are sweating a lot?”

“Hn.”

“Is she one of my love rivals?”

Stefan pursed his lips not knowing if he should say yes or no. As far as he knew, he never loved that woman even though she had been clinging to him. “A love rivals? I don’t think so.” Stefan responded after a long pause. “I was only interested in her for a few weeks but it wasn’t out of love interest. I only used her to provoke someone.”

“And why should I meet her?”

“Because she’s part of the issue that we are dealing with.”

Realizing the hidden meaning from his words and from his strange actions since this morning, Cayenne widened her eyes and covered her mouth from the shock. The words ‘kill’ and ‘child’ kept ringing in her mind and Stefan’s face came up which brought goosebumps in her arms.

Looking at her expression, Stefan paled while trying to hold her hands. “Ayen.”

“Wait. Don’t tell me...I mean, tell me I’m guessing it wrong. We...we weren’t talking about you earlier, right? It wasn’t you and it wasn’t your child...This...”
