She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 305 - BUMPING INTO THEM

Meanwhile, Cayenne and Stefan arrived in Peach Wood Subdivision and took Jonas with them. Ever since they got together again, Stefan was used to driving his own cars for Cayenne. He didn\'t want to put her life in the hands of someone else anymore thus; wherever she wanted to go or where the two of them go, he would be the driver.

"By the way, I have something to tell you later." Stefan stated while he drove the car to City A public cemetery.

Cayenne just nodded her head without asking what it was all about. She also got questions in mind but she knew that it wasn\'t the right time to ask yet.

"Yen, are your brothers going home today to see you?"

"Nope. Kyle told me that they\'ll be visiting Kath\'s family and go somewhere later to relax and chill."

"Oh." Jonas seemed to be thinking something but she couldn\'t tell what it was. "Kyle\'s girlfriend, this woman, did he introduce her to the family already?"

"Hn. Kath introduced him to her family as well. And it seems that they won\'t hinder their relationship as long as the two won\'t have any failing grades." Cayenne looked back at her stepdad and smiled. "Don\'t worry. She knows about your situation and didn\'t break up with Kyle."

"R-really?"

"Yup. That means, she really likes your son and accepted everything that comes along with him."

Listening to her and Jonas, Stefan smiled faintly. She really knew how to lighten someone\'s mood and encourage them. Despite everything that she went through, Cayenne remained optimistic and cheerful.

After almost two hours of driving, they arrived at the cemetery. Cayenne stepped out of the car at the same time that Stefan did. Jonas also came out and followed behind them with the small basket of flowers in his hand. Cayenne was holding some candle and food offerings for her mother that she personally cooked this morning.

Cayenne and Stefan were walking ahead of him but suddenly, they turned around and dragged Jonas away to another direction.

"This is not the way to her tomb." Jonas mumbled but Cayenne put her finger on her lips, signaling him to keep quiet. The three of them were staring at someone else\'s tomb while waiting for the other three people to pass by them.

"Hmm? It looks like Cayenne and Stefan." Luiz commented while looking at them few meters away.

"How could that be? They\'re standing in front of a different tomb. I heard that Stefan\'s mother was buried in City D so that can\'t be them." Kyle retorted and pulled her brother away.

Cayenne breathed out an air of relief when her brothers and Kath left. They said that they\'d be visiting her family and go somewhere; and that somewhere was actually the cemetery. She didn\'t expect that they\'d bump onto them.

"Those were Kyle and Luiz?" Jonas asked when the three of them decided to go back on track. The three youngsters were nowhere in sight so they weren\'t worried anymore.

"I didn\'t know that they\'d be here." Cayenne responded as they continued to walk. "Pa, do you still want to continue with the surprise that we planned for Luiz or do you want to come out and see them now."

"Let\'s go with the surprise." Jonas commented without a doubt.

"I\'m pretty sure Luiz would be the happiest person on that day." Stefan added with a faint smile. He never experienced having families attend his graduation ceremony or other school events and he was used to that. But he didn\'t want Luiz to miss this happiness.

They found Emerald\'s tomb and the two of them gave Jonas some time to spend it with his wife. They might not be married but Cayenne knew how much they loved each other. In fact, her mother wanted to marry Jonas even though he was already in jail but it was Jonas who refused her. He didn\'t want to give her a name which was stained with blood and crime.

Cayenne and Stefan stood few meters away from him, starting to mind their own world.

"Did you visit my mother before?" Cayenne asked him because she saw some flowers which were already dried.

"I did. Before I came to find you and pursue you one more time, I came here to apologize to her."

"Why did you apologize? You weren\'t at fault."

Stefan looked to the far distance with deep guilt and regret reflecting his face. "Instead of talking to you, I ran away and spout some nonsense, driving you to draft the divorce papers. I let my emotions control me and forgot the promise that I gave to your mother."

"A promise?"

"Hn. I promised that I would take care of you and that I would choose to trust your words over someone else. But I didn\'t do any of those. I didn\'t return your calls because I was thinking to surprise you when I came back. But I regretted doing that. I should have returned your call and know your situation. Because of my negligence, I didn\'t have any idea that you were going through a painful event in life. Ayen, I\'m really sorry. I\'m sorry for being such an idiot."

"Don\'t worry, even if you\'re an idiot, I still love you and will continue to love you." Cayenne lightly pinched his face and smiled at him. "I\'m not blaming you anymore and I have forgiven you. So, in the future, let\'s not talk about this."

"O-okay." Stefan intertwined their fingers together and raised it to kiss the back of her hand. "I will always follow whatever my wife wants."

"Stop being lovey-dovey in front of me. I\'m done talking to her. Do you guys want to say something, too?" Jonas interrupted them on their sweet moment.

The couple grinned at him and walked hand in hand towards Emerald\'s tomb. It was their turn to speak up their mind.

After spending time in front of her tomb, the three of them decided to have lunch together. They were walking down the stairs back to the parking lot when Cayenne saw her brothers. As if she saw some ghosts, she pulled her father away and walked on another direction.

"They didn\'t leave yet?" Jonas asked because he knew who are the people that Cayenne likes to avoid as of this moment. It was her brothers again.

"They must have recognized Stefan\'s car. Just stay here. I\'ll come and get you once they left."

"Okay." Jonas sat on the ground and watched Cayenne and Stefan left to talk with her brothers.

"I knew it! It\'s really them!" Luiz exclaimed happily when he saw his sister and Stefan coming down towards the parking lot. "Yen, did you visit mom as well?"

"Yes. Did you guys come here to visit her, too?"

"We were there. I thought I mistook someone for you and Stefan but I turned out to be right when I saw your husband\'s car." Luiz happily replied. "Are you going home now?"

"Nope. We will be going somewhere after this. How about you?"

"We\'ll be eating lunch together." Kyle replied to her inquiry.

"I see. Then, you guys go ahead. Take care of each other and be careful always." Cayenne told them while hiding her nervousness in front of them.

"Do you still have enough money?" Stefan asked them when they were about to leave the place.

"Yes. We still have some extra money here. Don\'t worry brother-in-law, the money you gave us will still last us a month." Kyle stated with a grateful smile on his lips. "You two, take care as well. Be careful on the road."

After bidding farewell, the three of them boarded Leon\'s taxi. The man only smiled to Cayenne and Stefan before driving out of the place and send the youngsters to the restaurant that they\'d like to have some lunch.

Cayenne wiped the non-existent sweat on her forehead and sighed. "Can\'t believe they waited here." She commented and turn to her husband.

"Your brothers are really smart." Stefan chuckled as he opened the door to the passenger\'s seat for her. "Just get inside. I\'ll go and get our father."

"Thank you, darling." Cayenne got inside the car and watched Stefan as he walked back to where they left Jonas.

Once Jonas and Stefan came back, they talked about where they could have lunch together. But because Cayenne was already hungry, they chose the nearest restaurant they could see.

Cayenne excitedly push the door of the restaurant but the first thing she found were her brothers and Kath eating in one of the corners. \'Why do we keep running into them?!\' She exclaimed mentally while taking a step back. "Kyle and Luiz are eating here with Kath. Let\'s go somewhere else." She told her stepdad while she pulled her husband back to the car.
