She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 266 - I WANT TO PAY FOR IT

"Cayenne, I want to work." Jonas told Cayenne while they were choosing some shirts for him. "I don\'t want to depend on you."

"Just take a rest for now. You can find a work after Luiz graduates this year." Cayenne responded knowing that it wouldn\'t be easy for someone who came from jail to find a work. "I\'ll find a place for you to stay in the meantime. You cannot stay in my house yet since Kyle and Luiz would come home and they might bump into you. Our surprise will be ruined."

"I have a good place for him to stay." Stefan stated while holding lots of clothes in his hands. "I think this would look good on him." He gave Cayenne the shirts he found and went back to the topic. "He can stay in our house in Peach Wood. Your brothers don\'t go there since you\'re not staying there."

"Are you sure?"

"Yup. I don\'t stay there that much so it would be good if someone lives there and take care of the house while we\'re gone."

"Is that alright for you?" Cayenne asked Jonas who was just listening to them. "I can find another place for you to stay if you don\'t like the idea."

"I\'m all good. It\'s just a temporary place."

"Right. After the surprise, you can move to my house and stay with the boys." Cayenne agreed before they continued shopping.

At lunch, they ate together and talked a lot of stuff but they didn\'t talk about her mother. She didn\'t want to ruin the good day she\'s having with the topic of her mother\'s death. She was planning to talk to him at night when there\'s just the two of them.

When they passed by a dessert store, Stefan bought her a matcha cake and matcha milktea. They bought a new phone for Jonas and a sim card as well. They saved their numbers to make sure that he can contact them if anything happens.

The whole day, the three of them spent it inside the mall. They bought so many things for him and Cayenne didn\'t pay a single scent of those. She wanted to pay for it because she knew that her savings can still cover the total cost but before she can hand her card, the cashier lady was already swiping Stefan\'s card.

She was left with no choice but to keep her own card.

After buying a lot of things for Jonas, the three of them went to Peach Wood. It was the first time that Cayenne set foot on this place after signing that stupid divorce papers.

"Why are you still standing there?" Jonas asked Cayenne when he noticed that she was just staring at the house.

"I\'m just appreciating its beauty." Cayenne replied with a wry grin. She stepped inside the house and the place was still the same as she last remembered it. Stefan didn\'t change anything at all. "I\'ll show you the guest room."

"Okay." Jonas followed her with a lot of shopping bags in hand. Stefan was also following them with another batch of shopping bags.

"You can stay here in the meantime." Cayenne opened the door to the guest room which was bigger than her apartment room before. "Stefan, do we still have enough groceries in the fridge?"

"Nope. I didn\'t buy groceries. I order food online."

"Alright. Let\'s buy groceries tomorrow. And I will pay for it." She really gave emphasis to her last statement because she didn\'t get to pay anything from their shopping spree today.

"Okie dokie. I\'ll let you pay for the groceries."

And the next day, Cayenne wanted to kick her husband so much. She said that she wanted to pay but Stefan gave her his card. "I want to pay the groceries with my own card."

"You didn\'t say it last night. You only said that you want to pay for it. So, you can go and pay for it using my card."

"This not what I mean."

Stefan chuckled and kissed the tip of her nose. "I\'m just teasing you. You can pay for these things now."

"With my card."

"Yes. With your card." Stefan handed her a card with her name on it. "This is your card."

"Huh? This is not my card."

"How come it\'s not yours? There\'s your name written on it."

"I didn\'t apply for a credit card."

"I applied for you." Stefan grinned at her. "You can ask me questions later. Just go and pay for it because people are watching us now."

Cayenne looked around and sure enough, many people were watching them. Some were even taking photos or videos. "Sorry." She apologized to them while handing her card to the cashier. She elbowed her husband who was only smiling at her, no traces of conscience for dragging her into the embarrassing situation she was in as of the moment.

"What\'s your plan after this?" Stefan asked her. Last night, she didn\'t go back to her own house and stayed with him instead. It was the first time in over two weeks that they slept together again. "Do you want to watch a movie or go somewhere?"

"I want to go back home. I need to plant the seedlings to my garden already. I can\'t just leave everything to Erwin."

"Why are you still continuing that project? Didn\'t you do that to forget me? Are you still planning to forget me?"

"Can you be serious? I planted it to save money from buying vegetables in the market."

"Oh. So, you didn\'t do it to forget me?"

"Stop making traps for me." Cayenne kicked him lightly which made Stefan laugh at her. "You\'re so annoying."

"Aren\'t you used to it?" Stefan questioned while taking the plastic bags containing the groceries. Cayenne signed her name on the paper to confirm the transaction and then she received a notification on her phone about it.

She checked her phone and read the message, making Stefan see that she didn\'t change her phone at all. Even the wallpaper was still the same. He whistled happily with these discoveries he made.

Cayenne looked at him and then looked to her phone. "I decided to keep the phone. I don\'t have the money to buy this after all."

It was an excuse that none of them believe but they both decided to accept it that way. As long as Cayenne\'s keeping even one single thing related to him, Stefan would be over the moon from so much happiness.

"I\'m glad you\'re keeping it."
