Chapter 728

Hearing the sound of the running water, Stefan walked to the balcony and dialed Jillyanna’s number. He needed help to get out of this tricky situation. He didn’t want to lie to her again so he needed distraction and he knew that Jillyanna has that solution.

“Jill.”

“Why the haste?”

“I need help. I need you to call Yen and ask her out.”

“Hmm...I was thinking of going out to bring the kids for their annual check-up. Let me ask Travis first if he plans to go somewhere after the check-up. Give me a sec.” Jillyanna covered the mouthpiece and went to look for Travis who was changing his son’s clothes upstairs. “Hubby, do you have plans after their check-up? Stefan asked if we could ask Cayenne out.”

“What did he do this time?”

“I don’t know. He must be up to something again. Well, I know he won’t hurt her.”

.....

Travis let out a throaty chuckle and kissed Raizel’s tummy which caused the child to giggle. “Let’s go to the nearest park with the kids, then. She could play with Jade.”

“Alright.” She resumed her conversation with Stefan and told him about the plan.

“Thanks, Jill. In fifteen minutes, she should be out of the shower. You can call her later and tell her about it. I’ll make some excuses to go and find the missing clothes.”

“Sure.”

When the call ended, Jillyanna snickered with Stefan’s last statement. She didn’t know what exactly was happening but it must have something to do with his surprise. [Shall we make plans to distract Cayenne as much as we can before the wedding?]

As soon as Cayenne came out, she cocked her head to the side with a questioning look on her face. “What?”

“What ‘what’? I didn’t say anything.”

“You look like you wanted to say something to me.”

“I just remembered something.”

Before Cayenne could even change her clothes, Jillyanna’s call came and Stefan left to take a shower. In that way, he wouldn’t seem suspicious to her.

Two hours later...

“Auntie Yen!” Jade came out running to meet Cayenne who came with Kyle. “Auntie Yen, where is uncle Stefan? He didn’t come with you?”

“He said he will follow later because he needed to finish his work. I’m with Kyle instead.”

“Hello, brother Kyle. How have you been? I heard you will graduate this year. Are you going to teach primary school students or high school students?”

Jade started chatting with Kyle knowing that the latter will graduate soon. Having this little girl in a circle wouldn’t make your life boring. She just has this skill in starting up a conversation with anyone she knows. She won’t make you feel left out at all.

“This is for you by the way. Yen got this when she visited London a few days ago. This one is for Raizel.”

“Really? Thank you, auntie Yen. Thank you, brother Kyle.”

Excitedly, she opened the gift and was awed by the cute pink fuzzy robe with unicorn prints on it. “I love this. Let’s see what’s inside Raizel’s gift. Auntie Yen, you always bring us gifts whenever you come and visit us.”

“Because you always bring me gifts whenever you go and visit me. Besides, good children deserve gifts and you’ve been very good to all of us.” Cayenne retorted and gently pat the girl’s head.

Not long after, Jillyanna came out followed by Travis who was carrying his son. “How was your trip to London? I heard you got another modeling offer.”

“Monet wanted me to model for her designs. I wasn’t expecting it at all.” Cayenne responded and gave Jill an airy kiss on the cheeks. “I really wished you were there with us.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I actually wanted to go there but Travis got sick.”

“Sick? Travis? That’s unheard of. Now I can confirm that he’s not invincible.”

“Hey! That’s the first time for this year.” Travis joined in the conversation after hearing Cayenne’s remarks. “Also, Stefan got sick last time, too.”

“Mom! Dad! Auntie Yen gave Raizel and me a gift. They’re very cute. Look at this!” Jade showed the gifts to her parents before bringing them to her room and Raizel’s respectively. She was even humming as she walked upstairs.

With that, Stefan finally succeeded in distracting his wife from looking for the missing clothes. Since he needed to bring back those clothes, he decided to exchange them with the other items. It’s not really necessary to do this but they didn’t have enough space for more clothes.

This was the reason why Cayenne kept telling him not to buy more matching stuffs. And of course, there’s no way he’d stop. He likes the way they dress together and wear matching clothes and accessories. It also reassures his heart that Cayenne was his.

Getting a different suitcase, Stefan stuffed more clothes and other things inside it before leaving the house to go to the other home that he built for their future family.

[Thankfully, she’ll have to go back to the university tomorrow and pass her projects. I will be able to finalize the things that are needed at home.]

“Hello, sir.” His home manager greeted him the moment he saw him arrive. “We found a good breed of horses already and I scheduled a meeting with the owner two days from now. I sent you an email about it.”

“I haven’t checked my email yet but that’s good to know. I’ll talk to Cayenne about this. How about the Japanese-style garden? Is it done?”

“Yes, sir. We finished the layout of the garden and we planted the flowers that madam likes. All that is left to do is to take care of the plants properly.”

“And the front garden for her tulips?”

“We have already prepared the bed of soil for the plants. We just need the flowers to arrive.”

“Alright. I’ll tell you when the flowers would come. That’s it for now. I’ll go around later and see what needs to be done. Just coordinate with the interior designer and Elena if you need anything.”

“Yes, sir.” The man bowed his head and left Stefan on his own accord seeing that the man was bringing a suitcase. Stefan didn’t like it when someone else would touch his and Cayenne’s clothes. They even make it a habit to clean their own clothes. However, when they were really pressed with time, they’d bring it to a laundry shop that they trusted the most since everyone at home has their own things to do.

Opening the master’s bedroom, Stefan grinned happily. A few more weeks to go, they’d be able to move to this house and build their own family here.
