Chapter 789 - 789 STANLEY’S WORRY II
She's My Sleeping Pill
789 STANLEYâS WORRY II
âBut I havenât talked to her about it. What if sheâll get angry?â
Stefan placed his hand on his uncleâs shoulder and looked into his eyes directly. Some countries consider it rude when you look at them eye to eye, but not in City A.
âUncle, listen to me. You should be able to understand Jessieâs father. Sheâs his only daughter and he wants her to be happy. If you have a daughter and suddenly you find out that her boyfriend was as old as you, wouldnât you feel bothered by it? What you needed to know now is to show them your determination. You have to prove to them that you are serious about your relationship with her.â
âAnd thatâs by coming to her place unannounced?â
âYes.â
âStefan, I donât have anything to be proud of. I even have a record of a failed marriage. I donât think -â
âThen, are you giving up?â
âOf course, not.â
âDonât worry, uncle. You have us. Just be confident to face them.â
.....
Stanley was still adamant about it but he chose to believe in his nephewâs words. He has a good relationship with Cayenne and her family even after the bad start and it is something that he could get strength. Their relationship was inspirational to many couples and even those who were still looking for their partners.
âWhen are we visiting them?â
Stefan grinned and that was enough for Stanley to know that heâll be fine. âIâll make arrangements. Give me a sec. Oh! You should go home and wear something casual. We will be visiting to make a good impression but looking so formal would make it look like you are coming to negotiate them. Weâre not coming to intimidate. Weâre coming to win them over.â
âOkay. Iâll ask Dominic to help me.â
âDom has no work today?â
âNo. The manager gave him time off. I originally planned to talk to him about this but I felt that heâs too young to understand the world of adults.â
âI appreciate you coming to consult me because that makes me feel that Iâm reliable. At the same time, you should not underestimate your son. Heâs mature enough to understand this kind of things. Heâll be a good confidant to you.â
âIâll keep that in mind.â
Thereafter, Stanley went back home to Peach Wood Subdivision to change his clothes. It would have been quicker if he just bought some clothes to change into in the mall but, he didnât want to waste his money on mundane things. Heâs not like Stefan with overflowing riches. Even if he was his nephew, he never really thought of Stefanâs money as his. He was already more than happy that Stefan helps them with their daily expenses, medication Maintainance, and Dominicâs tuition fees. The money he earned from his work was just for his savings and things he likes to buy. He has more to spend on his date with Jessie.
When he reached home, Dominic was already prepared to help after getting a message from Stefan.
Meanwhile, Cayenne was choosing clothes for her and Stefan since her husband was busy making calls. Seeing how busy he was, Cayenne decided to tease him a little. She chose a white slim-fit dress despite her growing baby bump and put on a black trench coat to keep her warm. She wanted to put on her black leggings but she wasnât allowed to bend over so, she waited for Stefan to finish his call and ask him for help.
As for Stefan, Cayenne picked a black shirt, white shorts, and a black coat which would seem matching except for the shirt and her dress.
After the last call, Stefan crouched down without waiting for her words and helped Cayenne put on his leggings. âYou can pair it with your low-heeled boots. It will keep you warm.â
âGot it,â she said and grabbed the boots from their shoe closet while Stefan started changing his clothes. She thought he was done by the time she finished choosing her boots but when she looked back, Stefan was standing half-naked with the shirt in hand. âIs there a problem?â
âI noticed that earlier, you put on a black dress under that coat.â
âYeah.â
âThen, why are you giving me this white shirt?â
âDoes it matter? It has the same design.â
âNot the same color. You were messing with me.â Stefan expressed and returned the shirt to get the other one with the same design but black.
Cayenne laughed when he pouted from her prank. âMy bad. I want to tease you a little.â
âTease me in another way.â
âFine. Fine. I wonât do this again. Will you forgive me?â
âI will if you kiss me ten times.â
âI could do this forever, you know.â
And the kiss escalated to something hotter which burned both of them. If Stefan didnât undress her shirt, she probably wouldnât return to her senses and remembered what they were supposed to be doing.
âWeâll have to wait until evening,â Cayenne commented as she pushed her husband away. Her face was flushed and her red lips were wet from the recent passionate kisses with him.
âI wonât sleep without claiming it.â
âFine, but I guess I have to change my underwear.â
Stefan realized what she meant and he couldnât stop himself from teasing her. Now she finally knew how it feels like when someone hangs your appetite.
One hour later, the two of them finally arrived in front of Jessieâs home but no one stepped out of the car yet because Stanley hasnât arrived.
Cayenne could see through the window that many people have gathered already while looking in their direction. Some were whispering, wondering who came in their place in a parade of expensive vehicles. Not long after, Stanley and Dominic came. The father and son duo had an opposite expressions on their faces. One was tense and anxious while the other was calm.
Stefan stepped out of the car and helped Cayenne out, making sure to cover her head to avoid bumping into the car frame.
The ladies in the neighborhood were awed at this handsome man and when they saw Cayenneâs face, they couldnât stop their girly hearts from beating rapidly.
However, the stoic faces of the bodyguards stopped them from approaching their idol.
Stanley and Dominic waited for the couple in front of Jessieâs house but before they even got there, Jessie came out of the house with a panic-stricken face.
âWhy are you here?!â
