Chapter 491 – LOVED BY ALL
The next day, Cayenne woke up late but still on time for breakfast. She didn't want to skip the most important meal of the day just because of the exhaustion. And if she calculated the number of hours that she slept, it can be counted as normal and sufficient.
After breakfast, Stefan packed up their things to leave. If Cayenne didn't have anything to do, he would be very happy to extend their stay. Sadly, she's a very busy person.
They arrived home around lunch time. She joined her family for lunch and after that, she left with Stefan once again to find Jillyanna for her self-defense lesson. As usual, she stayed for two hours to practice with her. Riley even joined them to make the session more fun and engaging.
Once her training session was over, she left the Madrigal home and visited Justin's home. She only came to check on the children since she wasn't able to visit them in the morning. She couldn't stay for long. So, after one hour, they left Justin's home. Together with her husband, she went to buy some groceries and brought it to Peach Wood Subdivision. She didn't forget to buy the vitamins and the prescribed maintenance for Stefan's grandpa and grandma as well.
"Yenyen!" Cory exclaimed when she opened the door and found Cayenne standing there with Stefan. The smile on her face couldn't be hidden and she threw herself towards Cayenne for a hug. "I miss you little lass. How have you been? Your class has started, right?"
"Yes granny." Cayenne answered while walking inside with the old lady. "The university resumed all classes last Monday and so far, I've been doing great; just a little bit busy."
"How about you Stefan? You haven't forgotten your responsibility as a husband because of your work, have you?"
"How could I grandma?" Stefan questioned back with a cheeky grin on his face. "I'd forget anything except my responsibility to her. You know that she's my life."
"Ahhh seessshh. You just know how to sweet talk." Cory commented with a glare before turning to Cayenne. "If this boy bullies you, tell granny okay? I will punish him for you."
"Hn. I'll remember that granny. But –"
"But?" Both Stefan and Cory looked at her with curious look on their faces.
"But I don't think you will have the chance to punish him. My husband always prioritizes my well-being. It's difficult to point his flaws."
Cory looked at Stefan with narrowed eyes but since it was Cayenne who said so, she didn't bully her grandson anymore. Cayenne and Stefan went directly to the kitchen and placed the groceries on the counter top before going back to the living room; and not long after they have taken a seat, Dominic also came home from his part-time job.
"Yen! Bro! You guys are here! Did Luiz come together with you?" Dominic asked while taking off his shoes. "My workmates were asking me to get autographs from him and the magazines have been piling up in my room already."
"Sad to say, Luiz didn't come with us." Cayenne replied. "I can bring the magazines for you and return it tomorrow."
"Is that really fine?"
"Hn. I don't mind." Cayenne responded while giving him an encouraging smile.
"How's your study and work coming along?" Stefan questioned as he crossed his legs. He looked imposing but Dominic wasn't intimidated at all. He knew that his older cousin was only looking after him.
Dominic put his bag on the couch and sat beside it. He looked relieved and satisfied. "I didn't have so many subjects to study for this semester and my work isn't very demanding as well. My supervisor was very understanding, too. I've been doing fine."
"That's good to know. If something comes up, don't hesitate to call me." Stefan reminded him like a good older brother. Technically, he's a good person, only to his family, friends and his employees who do their work properly.
They've been sitting for almost quarter an hour already and they noticed that their grandfather hasn't come out yet. Stefan frowned and looked at his grandmother. "Grandma, where's grandpa?"
"Oh! He's currently resting. He caught a fever yesterday but his temperature has lowered down already. I just told him to rest a bit more to make sure that he won't relapse."
"Did you bring him to the hospital? Did you ask for a doctor to come and check on him?" Cayenne asked consecutively in worry. "Why didn't you tell us?"
Cory sighed and shrugged her shoulders apologetically. "He didn't want me to tell you. And we did send him to the hospital yesterday but he wanted to go out. The doctor only allowed him to be discharged this morning which was why he's still resting."
Stefan pulled out his phone and sent Dominic a phone number. "Call that number if you there's an emergency. That's a doctor in Senyu Medical Hospital. He's a friend of mine. Just tell him that we're family. Also, pass he number to the guards for emergency purposes."
"Thanks, bro." Dominic saved the number immediately knowing that it's a very important contact information. "Would you like to stay for dinner?"
"That would be great. Can I help you cook?" Cayenne retorted almost immediately.
"No, you can't." Stefan answered before Dominic could. "You stay here with grandma. I'll help Dominic in the kitchen."
"O-okay." Cayenne didn't argue with him and just followed his arrangement. She can also take this opportunity to rest herself after a busy day.
Left with Cory, Cayenne started telling her the interesting things she knew from school. She was talking most of the time while the Stefan's grandma listened to her attentively. Sometimes, she would also share the things she could still remember from her youth but there wasn't much to share because she had forgotten most of them.
In the middle of their conversation, Stanley also came home. Previously, he works from Monday to Friday but because of Jessie's schedule, he also changed his own schedule to match with hers. He's now working from Tuesday to Saturday.
"It's fancy seeing you here, Yen. Where's Stefan? Did he allow you to come here alone?" Stanley asked as soon as he saw her talking with his mother.
"He's in the kitchen with Dom." Cayenne responded. Her observant behavior came out again and she could tell that Stefan's uncle was becoming more handsome every time that she sees him. And he looks younger compared to the first time that she met him. "Looks like you are progressing steadily, Uncle."
"You have guessed it right."
"Looks like we'll be meeting her soon."
"Not so soon. We're still in the phase of getting to know each other."
"I hope that woman won't hurt you like what your ex-wife did." Cory mumbled and stood up to leave the living room. Obviously, she didn't like the topic.
Cayenne looked towards Stanley and the older man could only smile faintly at her.
