She's My Sleeping Pill-Chapter 860: GLARED AT THE TRIPLETS
"Why don't you check the house today? You can also choose the room that you want to occupy," Cayenne told her staff since she didn't have anything else to say. It was almost lunch and Stefan will be coming home soon. She wanted to cook something for him.
Her staff nodded and picked up their things one after another before bidding their farewell.
"If you have questions when you get there you can send me a message in the group chat," Cayenne said before they could go. "Additionally, please be on standby. I need your help with something."
"Got it, Miss Yen," Callum answered on behalf of everyone.
Now that everyone went to do whatever they needed to do, Cayenne was left with Kyle and the kids. The little princess immediately raised her hands and the two boys could only watch her. They would not fight for attention with their sister.
"My babies are the sweetest," Cayenne commented and kissed their cheeks one by one. "You knew Mommy is working so you didn't misbehave, did you?" Jahzara giggled at her mother's kisses, but when Cayenne put her back to the cot, she pouted her lips – ready to cry. "Don't cry, little princess. Mommy will be right back."
As if understanding her words, Jahzara stopped pouting and tried her best to flip her body and crawl toward her brothers.
"Your children are smart," Kyle commented as he watched them. "By the way, when is Justin leaving?"
"The day after tomorrow," Cayenne responded while caressing Aziel's and Zeki's cheeks. "I'm planning to throw a farewell party for him this evening. It's going to be a surprise for him."
"I see. I'll tell Luiz about it. Go and cook for your husband now. I'll look after the kids for you," Kyle responded and Cayenne nodded without any hesitations. She instantly went to the kitchen to cook something for Stefan.
About an hour later, she heard the children's giggles and her husband's laughter in the living room. She already had a guess of what he was doing and when she looked at them, she found him playing peek-a-boo with their children.
Stefan felt someone's intense gaze at him and when he shifted his attention in the kitchen's direction, he found his wife there. She had a faint smile on her face while wearing a black apron around her waist.
[This is home.] S2tefan thought happily. He straightened up his body and walked to his wife – his dearest partner for the rest of his life. "I'm home," he said and wrapped his hands around her waist.
Cayenne snaked her arms around his neck in response and kissed him. "Welcome home, hon."
In the living room, Kyle wanted to cover the eyes of his niece and nephews to stop them from watching their parents, but he only had two hands and there were three kids. In the end, he could only block them with his whole body.
"Were you able to settle everything?" Stefan asked his wife while untying the apron for her. "Leave the rest to the helpers. I want to spend time with you."
"Alright. Give me a sec. I'll just give them instructions," Cayenne said and without leaving her husband's side, she told Carla what to do. Once she was done, she pulled her husband to the living room and cuddled with him while telling him what she did in the morning and her plans for the afternoon and evening.
[I'm not single, but I still feel envious of this couple's relationship.] Kyle thought while playing with the kids. [I want to see my girlfriend now.]
Unfortunately, his girlfriend went to attend her relative's wedding. She wanted to invite him, but when he heard that it was an exclusive wedding with few friends invited, Kyle refused in consideration to his girlfriend's relatives. After all, he wasn't an official member of the Labrador family yet. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Hon, I'm planning to give Justin a farewell party tonight. Can I reserve one of your restaurants?" Cayenne asked for permission. Even if she was the wife of the owner, she didn't want to do anything without his permission.
"Where do you want to do it?"
"Hmm... how about the White Orchid?"
"Because it's close to my company?" Cayenne grinned while nodding her head. In that way, Stefan wouldn't have to travel far to get to the venue. "Alright. You can call the manager after lunch to make an arrangement with them."
"Yay! I love you hon. You're the best."
"It's been a while since the last time you uploaded something with the touch of your personal affairs. Why don't you vlog this farewell party and upload it?"
As if a lightbulb was lit up, Cayenne's eyes brightened. What Stefan said was really a great idea. She was about to pick up her phone to tell her team about it, but Stefan held her hands and kissed her knuckles.
"Talk to them when I leave for work," Stefan muttered which caused Cayenne to feel a little guilty. "I won't be staying long anyway. I'll be leaving as soon as I'm done with my lunch."
"Shall we go on a date?"
"With just the two of us?" Stefan retorted almost instantly. "Where do you want to go?"
Cayenne was stunned with his response and excitement. "Are you really planning to leave the children?"
"We have a lot of helpers. It's not like - " Stefan noticed the deep frown on his wife's forehead and it was then that he realized the words he just said. "Well, we can bring them along. Why won't we go for a picnic?"
"Hn. That sounds good. We can go for a picnic."
In the end, Stefan had to compromise because of their children. When Cayenne wasn't looking at him, he turned his attention to the triplets and glared at them.
Aziel: ??
Zeki: ??
Jahzara: ??
But their father got away with it because their mom was busy thinking about the picnic.
At the same time in Peach Wood Subdivision, Cayenne's vlogging team finally arrived at the house that Stefan bought. It was right beside the house where the Sugo family lived.
Seeing their new neighbors, Jose and Cory went outside of their house to welcome them.
"Good afternoon Grandpa and Grandma," Cree greeted them since she was the one who saw them first.
When they first Stefan's grandparents, they called them ma'am and sir, but the old couple didn't like the sound of it. Later on, it was agreed that everyone should just call them grandpa and grandma.
"I'm so glad that you have arrived safely," Cory said with one of the bodyguards pushing her wheelchair. Jose stood next to her. "Are you going to live here from now on?"
"Yes, Grandma," Callum answered and even slung his arm on Cree's shoulder. "Miss Yen told us to stay here for security reasons. We will be neighbors from today onwards."
"Do you want to look at the interior of the house? You can come inside with us," Zaire stated while opening the gate to the house.
"Nah. My bones are aching," Jose responded with a wave of his hand. "You can go by yourselves and check the place. After that, come and join us for lunch. I told the helper to cook a lot since you are all coming."
"Yay! Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma," Addie expressed softly before following Zaire to the house.
"We won't take long," Callum added and pulled Cree with him to get inside the property.
The three bodyguards followed them except for Collins who was still finishing his shift at Luiz's side.
Zaire opened the door of the house and what greeted them was exactly the image that they saw from the file earlier. The living room was fully furnished with a 72" smart TV, and Wi-Fi was also included. These two things were already a luxury for someone who would be renting the place.
"Wow!" exclaimed Cree who went to the kitchen without anyone of them noticing. They were still relishing the fact that they have a big TV and Wi-Fi. "Look at these, guys!" Cree called out and they all went there including the bodyguards who will be serving them. They needed to familiarize themselves with the place, too.
"Are we really renting this place for that price?" Callum questioned when he saw what surprised Cree in the kitchen – lots of appliances were available for them. "Won't they go bankrupt because of us?"
"Correction, even if the appliances are free, we need to pay for the water and electricity. So, we have to be mindful of our usage," Zaire commented to make them face reality.
"But this is still worth it of the money that we will be paying. My current apartment room is not even half the size of this kitchen but I'm paying a lot of money already, not to mention the water and electricity aren't included," Cree said since she needed to live on her own without her family's support anymore. If not for her secret stash, she wouldn't have any money after she got kicked out.
"I agree with you on that," Addie said while looking around as well.
"Now, let's talk about the room assignment," Callum said that brought everyone's attention to him. "There are four rooms on the second floor – one for each of us. How are we going to choose?"
"Why don't we write the numbers on a piece of paper and roll them," Cree expressed her idea. "We can take turns in getting a paper and whatever was written on it will be our room."
"Hn. I agree. There are numbers on the door anyway," Zaire said while putting down his bag to get a piece of pen and paper. He always brings them with him in case he gets some ideas. He liked it better to write something on paper instead of typing his ideas on a phone which can be deleted accidentally.
He wrote the numbers and told Jeffrey, his personal bodyguard, to hold the papers. One after another they took a piece of paper that Jeffrey was holding and opened it. Seeing their respective numbers, the four of them went to the second floor.
The bodyguards didn't go upstairs anymore since there wasn't anything they can do there. They looked around the ground floor and found one room right below the staircase. When they opened it, they saw the bunkbeds that they could use.
Along with Cayenne's team, the bodyguards settled in their new house for the time being.

In the mansion that Celestine rented, she was reviewing the information about the projects that she worked on with Emerald Holdings during her stay in Italy. She had no idea that the truth would be so painful for her to bear.
She gripped the papers she was holding and cried in silence. All this time, while she was bearing grudges against her father and brother, they were secretly helping her.
