She's My Sleeping Pill-Chapter 791 - 791 STANLEY’S WORRY IV
791 STANLEY’S WORRY IV
“Excuse me?!” Both Jessie and Cayenne exclaimed at the same time and both women looked at each other as well in surprise. They didn’t expect to be in sync at this moment.
“I would like you to refrain from saying such words,” Cayenne added after a while because she couldn’t accept the accusation coming from this woman who was obviously hindering Jessie to be happy. “I could understand that other people sitting on a higher hierarchy would bully people on the lower level but that isn’t the case for everyone. That being said, my family doesn’t tolerate bullying. We would never do something that would ruin our reputation. I have a name to uphold and so is my husband. As part of our family, uncle Stanley and his son would never do something that would affect us as well.”
“Really? Didn’t you bully the host of a show just because she asked you questions during a guesting on the opposing network?” The woman said once again and this prompted Jessie’s mother to ponder on the issue, too. “Auntie even watched that show and since it was live, many people were able to see how you dealt with her.”
“Pardon me?” Stefan spoke and annoyance was reflected on his face. Never say anything against his wife or you will face his wrath. He wondered when would people understand his bottom line. “First, why would a host from an opposing network come to a guesting of the other station? Second, why do you think she appeared after she told her team that she won’t do her show if we become her guests? Third, when did we ever bully her? She lost her job because she took things to a personal level and she was doing something illegal. I am sure you have seen it afterward, or maybe you didn’t tell Jessie’s parents about what happened after the show.”
“Also, it seems to me that you are jealous of Jessie. Why would you hinder her from being happy? It is obvious that you were manipulating her parents.” Dominic added in anger. He couldn’t keep his anger anymore.
“Stop. Please stop.” Jessie said to stop them from saying anything more. She was afraid that Stefan would do something to her cousin after what she said against Cayenne. “Lilia is just worried for me. I can understand that. Please forgive her rudeness.”
Stefan nodded his head but he still said something as a reminder. “No worries. Just make sure that she’ll get her facts next time. I don’t like it when people say something bad about my wife.”
“Stanley.” Jessie’s mother spoke as she held her daughter’s hand. “I hope you can understand our concern as parents. Of course, we don’t really have anything personal against you. We were just worried that our daughter was just being used, you know what I mean. After all, she’s our only daughter. I just want to know; do you plan on getting married to her?”
“Yes,” Stanley answered without even hesitation for a second. “I entered this relationship with that idea in mind.”
.....
“Then, will you live close to us? I just want to make sure that she’s properly taken care of.”
“If that makes you feel a lot more comfortable, I don’t mind. My son is already big and sooner or later, he will want to live his own life.”
With this shift in conversation, Stanley talked to Jessie’s parents about the wedding but since this was an informal meeting, he promised them another visit with his whole family to ask for Jessie’s hand in marriage. To let them feel at ease, Cayenne showed her work in the foundation and the things that she was doing. Apparently, Jessie’s brother knew a little about Cayenne and Stefan but his sister would often tell him something about the couple; how great they were and how Stefan doted on his wife with all his riches. However, when their cousin found out who Jessie’s boyfriend was, she started her own investigation and said a lot of horrible things while keeping the positive things about the couple.
Having received the cold treatment from Stanley’s family, Jessie’s cousin left without saying anything. She was pissed off that her plan didn’t work. She hated it that Jessie will become a wife of a rich man while she remained single and poor. She didn’t like it that her cousin will have a great life than her.
So, her jealousy overwhelmed her and made her decide things without thinking about any consequences.
Jessie’s parents were amazed at Cayenne’s diligence after knowing that she was still studying while also managing the foundation with the help of her secretary and her husband who followed up on things that she couldn’t. It even surprised them more when they found out that she was actually pregnant while doing all these things. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
“I pray that you give birth to a healthy baby.” Jessie’s mother expressed while looking at Cayenne. “I think you will have a baby girl because you are blooming with no signs of stress at all.”
“Is that how it goes?” Cayenne inquired excitedly, “It’s probably a boy, too. Who knows? I just don’t look stressed because of my husband.”
“You should listen to music most of the time. It is said to help the development of your child’s intelligence, but I think you won’t have a problem in that field since you are smart already.”
Cayenne easily won the heart of Jessie’s mother, maybe because of her mother’s instinct. As for her father, he wasn’t really reconciled yet but he could tell that his daughter’s boyfriend was sincere. He just couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that the man was almost the same age as him.
“Shall we have dinner together, tonight? We can treat it as a celebration for officially announcing your relationship.” Stefan suggested but Jessie’s family showed complicated expressions on their faces. “It’s my treat. I mean, we won’t really go out because I’m worried about my wife. We can have dinner delivered here.”
“That sounds good.” Stanley agreed. “Would that be fine?” he asked Jessie’s parents since they were inside their home.
“I’ll take you on your offer, then.”
