She’s My Sleeping Pill - Chapter 835 - 835 THE EX-COUPLE MEETS AGAIN

835 THE EX-COUPLE MEETS AGAIN

Amidst her tight schedule, Cayenne still managed to study for class to make sure that she won’t fail. She didn’t want to disappoint her husband and most of all, she didn’t want all his effort to go down the drain. He has been supporting her without any complain and she only needs to do her best for him.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Cayenne paused from reviewing her notes and looked up to see who visited her. Her face brightened upon seeing Latticia and Dr. Albert standing at the door with a box of sweets for her. They really knew what could make her happy.

“Mom, come in,” she said and gestured for them to come inside and have a seat on the couch close to her. “Stefan just went out to visit the children again. He’ll be back shortly.”

“I…I came…for you,” Latticia responded with a smile and slowly gave the snacks to Cayenne. “My son…he’s always…always busy.”

As she received the gift, Cayenne grinned at the woman in front of her. “Stefan wouldn’t admit it but he cares for the children that much. I’m really excited to bring them home.”

Dr. Albert just sat on the side while listening to the two women talk about Stefan and the children. Although, Stefan has forgiven him, he still made sure that he wasn’t acting too close to his family. At least, the man allowed him to stay with Latticia and even kept the truth from Magnus.

A few minutes later, Stefan came back with a silly smile on his face. Obviously, he was having a great time with the children. As soon as he saw his mother, his silly smile vanished and he could only scratched his nape from the awkwardness he felt. He didn’t expect that his mother would see his silly side.

“Mom, you’re here,” he said to hide his embarrassment. “Do you want to join us for lunch? It’s been a while since the last time we ate together.”

…..

“Hm. I’d be very happy if we could do that.” Cayenne added which made Latticia smile brightly.

Ever since she reunited with Stefan, she was recovering steadily and the doctor that Stefan hired to look after her was also doing his best to keep up with Latticia’s treatment. Moreover, Dr. Albert was there to monitor her all the time.

Now, she could already walk a long distance without panting so much and her statements were easier to understand. Everyday, Dr. Albert gives her face muscle therapy to make sure her face won’t be stiff as well.

So far, everything was going well.

Out of the blue, without informing Stefan and Cayenne, Magnus came to visit his daughter-in-law along with Ferdinand. The two men were stunned to see Dr. Albert there and the hostility between them almost caused a spark in the air.

Latticia only glanced at Magnus without saying anything before looking back at Cayenne. She talked to her as if no one else was there.

“I didn’t know you’ll have outsiders here.” Magnus commented which was an insult to Dr. Albert who remained quite beside Latticia. “Yen, you should not associate yourself with crimin-”

“Stop it, Dad.” Stefan expressed coldly which stunned Magnus and Ferdinand. It has been a long time since he last used a cold tone against his father. They hardly remembered the last time he did it. “Whatever you have against Dr. Albert and his wife, say it when Yen isn’t around. I don’t want you to insult my wife’s friends.”

Magnus raised his eyebrows as he looked at Dr. Albert but when he shifted his gaze to Latticia and the woman looked away, his lips twitched and he clenched his hands to fists.

Cayenne wanted to pacify her visitors but she didn’t know how. She couldn’t ask Stefan’s mom to leave and she couldn’t do the same thing to Stefan’s father as well. She was torn between the ex-couple.

“Uhh…”

A sudden intrusion made everyone shift their attentions to the door and Jackson who just came shivered from the tension in the room. He could almost see the sparks flying between the people inside.

“Jackson!” Cayenne exclaimed cheerfully which caused everyone to withdraw their negative emotions. “You’re finally here. Did you bring everyone as well?”

“Yes, Ms. Yen.”

“Great!” Cayenne stood up and pushed her reviewer to the side which Stefan picked to place them on the table. “Come inside. I didn’t know that I’d be getting a lot of visitors today. Please don’t mind my family.”

One after another, Cayenne’s team followed Jackson inside and lightly bowed to the other people who visited their boss.

“Oh! Let’s this chance to introduce everyone to my family. You might see them often from now on.”

With their appearance in her room, the atmosphere changed. The tension disappeared as Magnus started talking to Callum and Cree about their soul searching job. He stopped paying attention to Dr. Albert and has quickly forgotten his interest with Latticia.

Cayenne finally breathed a sigh of relief as she stood next to Stefan while watching Magnus speak with her team. “I’m so glad that they arrived just right in time. I was so worried that Dad would start fighting with Dr. Albert.”

“I didn’t expect that they would see each other again here. Thankfully, Dad didn’t notice anything with Mom. It would be troublesome if he finds out the truth.”

“Still, it’s a sad thing that he couldn’t recognize her.” Cayenne whispered after stealing a glance at Latticia who was speaking with Dr. Albert about something she has no idea of.

Stefan didn’t respond to her statement. It might be a sad thing but, with how things turned out, he didn’t know what exactly his parents feel. He wasn’t sure if his mother was sad that Magnus didn’t recognize her. He wasn’t sure either if his father was really unable to recognize the woman in front of her or was just pretending all along. He couldn’t confirm the truth and he didn’t want to do it either.

“Anyway, let’s not mind them for now. We’ll deal with it when the time comes for us to say the truth. For now, let’s focus on you and the children.”
