Chapter 196 – SOMETHING CAUGHT HER INTEREST
They thought that Cole was just joking because this happens a lot before but then, he would still come to work the next day. However, this time was different. He told Sofia to pack up because they will be moving out. In fact, this was a good thing for him as well, since he's only a slave to his mother, working like a cow but not getting anything in return, he might as well quit.
Cole was like any other employee. Even though they owned the businesses and he's the one managing them, he's only given a monthly salary that a manager's worth. And he also discovered that all businesses were named under Arthur. His mother also prepared several life insurances just in case something happens to her and the beneficiary was Arthur. Just Arthur. In his mother's eyes, he didn't exist as a son to her but a servant instead.
Sofia carried their baby out first and got inside the car. Cole was following her with most of their important things and after placing them inside the trunk, he got inside the car and drove out of their place.
"Where are we going now?" Sofia asked worriedly. If it was just the two of them, she would be fine – she won't mind. But they have a child and she was worried for her baby.
"Don't worry. I didn't work for nothing in the past years. I was able to save some money for us to start over with." With his response, Sofia thought that they will probably stay in an apartment or in a rented house.
She was observing the road that they were taking and when the car stopped, she found herself in front of a huge house. It was truly magnificent. "Uh…Are we staying in this place?"
"Yup. I bought this place in a very cheap price since the owners moved to China. They wanted to stay there for good since they were basically Chinese and they wanted to serve their country for the remaining time of their lives."
"How cheap is cheap?" Sofia asked with narrowed eyes. She may not be rich and she didn't grow up in a rich family but she knew that the place costs millions.
"Let's talk about this later. Come inside." He took the baby from her so that she can rest for a while.
Sometimes, you need to make a hasty and decisive decision to start over again. If you are no longer comfortable with your life, think back and check what you could have done better. If it's best to stay away for you to have a peace of mind and healthy mental wellness, then find the best place where you can have the peace you wanted.
Cole knew that Stefan and Cayenne lived in the neighborhood, in fact, they were just across each other but Cole knew what he should do and what he should not. He will never put his family in danger.
On the other hand, Cayenne was happily watching the rom-com movie that she chose. Most of the time she was smiling and there were times that she would laugh so hard. She looked so carefree right beside him.
"Do you like the movie that much?" Stefan asked her when they finished watching it after almost two hours. Cayenne just nodded with a wide smile, she was still thinking of some scenes and couldn't help herself but grin again. "I like something else."
"What do you like?" Cayenne asked without thinking much and Stefan pointed on to a poster. When she laid her eyes on it, she couldn't stop blushing. Looking at the poster alone will already give you and idea of what it was all about. 'But somehow, it's rather interesting.' Cayenne thought to herself while looking away from it.
In the poster, the man was inside a bathtub with a little bit of water in it. His shirt was wet and it stuck to his skin, outlining his abs and his nipples. His eyes were covered with a black cloth and his hand were cuffed with a red-feathered handcuff and connected to a post on each side of the tub. His head was leaned back, pressing on the woman's bosom while the woman was looking at the camera, hugging the man's head in a gentle manner. And what was more interesting? It's that, there were so many people lining up for that movie.
"There's no way I'd watch that." Cayenne muttered which made Stefan chuckle beside her. "Although it looked a little bit interesting but I don't think I can handle that movie."
"We'll be taking it slow." Stefan whispered and kissed the base of her neck when no one was watching them.
"You're such a pervert." Cayenne replied as she pushed his face away from her. "Don't show your true color in public."
"Hn. I'll only show it to you." Bird of the same feather, flock together. If Travis was shameless then, what more can you expect from his friend?
They walked around the mall and looked for a restaurant where they can have their dinner. Cayenne didn't want anything fancy so they chose to have dinner in a seafood restaurant instead. Cayenne loves seafood and meat, so it was the perfect place for her.
Stefan ordered a lot of shrimps and squid for Cayenne because she likes them a lot. They didn't buy any crabs because Cayenne hates it. It's not because she hated the taste but she hated the fact that it's mostly made of shell and she didn't really know how to eat it.
They ate to their heart's content and Cayenne didn't bother acting shy in front of him. She needs to eat a lot of food to gain energy and strength because she will have to expend a lot of them later that night. She ate whatever he placed on her plate, didn't care if she looked like a hamster with bulging cheeks in front of him.
"I'm so happy that my wife thinks so much for me." Stefan commented while reaching out his hand with a tissue to wipe the residue on the corner of her lips.
"I'm thinking about myself, okay. Stop thinking nonsense." Cayenne replied. But when you think about it, she was indeed preparing herself for him. Isn't that considered as thinking about him?
