She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne was close to her father's legal wife. They had been chatting over the phone and sometimes, they would meet privately for about an hour, just before Ingrid's family feels alarmed and thought she had gone missing.

Due to several moments like this, Reuben and Ingrid decided to live somewhere else. Away from his wife's family's monitoring and interruptions. Now, they can visit Cayenne and she can visit them whenever they wanted to. They didn't have to be walking on eggshells anymore.

Cayenne's baby brother will be turning one year old in one week's time and their visit today was to invite them personally to attend the party.

"Dad, I would love to attend the party and be there for my little brother, but Auntie Ingrid's family will be there, too. We won't be able to avoid their criticisms and you know that Stefan won't just idly without retaliating because of me, right?" Cayenne told Reuben her thoughts while trying her best to make him understand that it was not her intention to miss the party.

"I don't want to ruin my brother's birthday. Why don't we celebrate it ahead of time?"

"Like a separate celebration?"

"We can have a small party here," Cayenne suggested hoping that her father would agree.

"I don't think it's going to be small. Our family is big and we have a lot of friends that we could invite as well. It will be a fun birthday," Stefan said when he came to the kitchen and helped the father-and-daughter pair bring the dishes out to the dining room.

"I don't think that's right to let you spend a lot for my son's birthday," Reuben said, still adamant about Cayenne's suggestion since it was for his son, not hers. "Can you at least come one day before the party?"

"That sounds fine, too," Cayenne said, giving in to her father's request. "We will be there before his birthday comes."

Now that they finally came to an agreement, they finally finished setting up the dining table and called others for dinner.

The next two days, Cayenne and Stefan busied themselves with the living room decoration for Chris and Rissy's new house. The place they bought was located in B City, just a fair distance from where Jillyanna lives but very close to where Cayenne previously lived. They also took this chance to visit the Madrigal family and just chat with them casually.

During these two days, the triplets were taken to Cayenne's house. It was the house that Reuben gave her on the day that she divorced Stefan.

The place was a lot different compared to the first time she occupied it. There were more vegetables and marcotted fruit trees around her house and the air was so fresh and fragrant to her. When Jonas heard that the triplets were coming over, he happily opened the door for them and even showed them the garden from the balcony of his room. He was very proud of his vegetation and fruit trees.

Once Rissy and Chris move in, they will be considered neighbors, though there was quite some distance between their neighborhoods.

After putting all the bigger furniture in the living room and arranging them to make the place look spacious despite the large items, Cayenne and Stefan focused on putting the little pieces together to make the place even more beautiful.

Since Rissy was a teacher, Cayenne bought a few books for Rissy to use. They were just reference books in science that might come in handy in the future. She also got little figurines for her to accentuate the living room a little.

"Are we missing something else?" Stefan asked his wife while looking around the place to check for any missing items. It was their second day to decorate the house and during these two days, he had seen his wife's lovely smile as she appreciate the result of her work.

She was enjoying it a lot.

"I think we're all good. We're only missing the couple," Cayenne responded while wiping her hands with the wet towel Nikolai gave her.

"Then, let's go home. I missed the kids."

Cayenne smiled while shaking her head from side to side. Her husband growing closer to his kids without him noticing anything. He even missed writing in his diary for three days now. She didn't mention it to him.

Since they rarely come to this place, Cayenne took this chance to stay overnight. The master bedroom where she previously stayed before moving to the mansion was kept clean and the bedsheets even smelled like the ones she was using in the mansion.

When they came home, Jonas was on his way to the kitchen. "I'll be cooking tonight since you've come over," Jonas told Cayenne as he tied the apron around his waist. "Would you like to go and pick the vegetables yourself?"

"Yes, I'd love to. What do you want me to get?"

He gave her a list of vegetables, a basket, gloves, and scissors, and Cayenne accepted them happily before running off to the backyard.

Since she was busy helping Jonas, Stefan made a hand puppet and told his children a story about the wolf and the three little pigs.

The children looked so interested in his expression and hand movement, though he had a little doubt they understood him. Nonetheless, he continued with his story while the kids listened to him patiently.

"Rawr! The wolf said. I will eat you! He huffed and he puffed to blow the straw house of the little pig. The little pig was scared. He..."

In front of him, the nannies were also listening while Luiz took a video of him secretly. They were all enjoying Stefan's storytelling.

Usually, mothers stay at home to take care of kids, but our modern society has implemented equal rights between men and women. So, it was no longer a surprise for a father to stay at home while the mother work. However, seeing a father who was passionately telling his kids a story was still something else. It was amazing, especially since he was taking care of three kids at a time.

Most fathers would have been shouting and yelling at their kids already.

The last time he went viral, it was because of his jealousy. Stefan had no idea that he would become the talk of the town again for being such a good father to his kids.
