Chapter 408 - IM HOME
Cayenne called Stefan on her way home and he also told her that he was done packing their things. Lucia's children have arrived as well and they have settled in their quarters.
The two kids were really amazed when they saw the room they were living in. Even though it was called a maid's quarter, it was better compared to the apartment that they were renting. Aside from their mother getting her own salary and benefits, they will also get their own school allowance for helping at home.
Stefan told them the house chores that they needed to do and the two kids decided to take turns in doing them every week. They won't be so tired either because Jonas and Erwin always help at home. They didn't have to worry about the laundry either because there's a washing machine. Their job was really easy.
"Ma, we can finally start saving for our own house." Dalia, the older daughter commented. "We've been paying for the rent on that apartment but in the end, it wasn't still ours. This way, we don't have so much to worry. We just need to do a good job."
"You are absolutely, right." Daisy, the younger daughter, also agreed to what her sister said.
The family had been trying their best to save some money but they will still be used up for their bills and for their necessary needs. And then, Lucia got fired, all the small savings left was used up and she had no other choice but to sell dishes at a small price. Thankfully, a blessing came in their life.
If not for Cayenne and Stefan, they didn't really know how to continue their life.
As promised, Cayenne arrived home at ten in the morning. Stefan was at the porch, waiting for her. "I'm home." She ran into his arms and hugged him. "How were you able to hold on this time?" Cayenne questioned before giving him a kiss.
Stefan led her inside the house and told her what he has been doing. It turned out that after getting a call from her when she arrived in Justin's place, Stefan finished packing his things. Then, he cleaned their room and re-arranged their things just to distract himself and stop being restless. And then, Lucia came back with her children. He talked to them to pass the time and showed them around the house. Then, she called again to tell him she's coming home. Thus, he stayed in the porch to wait for her.
"You actually did a great job." Cayenne gave him another kiss and smiled at him. "You survived for more than three hours straight."
"I still don't like it." Stefan replied with a deep breath. "Anyway, I'll ask Lucia to prepare food for lunch."
"Did you tell them that Justin won't be around during weekends?"
"Yup. Her two daughters will cover his work during weekends."
"Alright. Is there anything that I should do?"
"You have to accompany with me." Stefan held her hand and led her back inside their bedroom. It really looked new and fresh in her eyes. He changed the curtains, too. "Do you like it?"
"I like it. Though, we will still mess around with it." Cayenne mumbled as she looked around the place. "We still have two hours or so, I'll let you do whatever you want."
"Really?"
"Hn."
"Then, let's watch a movie together? We haven't gone on a date recently."
"You're right." Cayenne agreed because what he said was true. In the past weeks, when they left home, it's because they needed to deal with some stuff and they have less time for each other. "Let's go and watch a movie, then."
The two of them went to the entertainment room where a huge TV was attached to the wall. The place was soundproofed and it will really give you the atmosphere that you're in a cinema.
"What do you want to watch?" Cayenne asked while turning on the TV and getting the remote.
"R18"
"No way." Her instant reaction made Stefan laugh so hard. He pulled her into his arms and made her sit on his lap. "We cannot do that because we have less than two hours before lunch."
"How about after lunch?"
"I'd be too full to move."
"You don't even move because I'm the one who's moving for us."
"Stop talking dirty to me. I said no so, it's a no. Wait until we arrive in our trip destination."
"Okay." Stefan behaved on his seat but Cayenne felt something else wasn't behaving at all.
"Make that thing behave as well. It's poking my back."
Stefan chuckled and adjusted his sitting position. "Let's watch sci-fi movie."
"Sure." Cayenne looked for sci-fi movie on the list and asked him which one he likes to watch.
The two of them was watching the movie while chatting in whispers from time to time.
Kyle went downstairs and found that the guards have come back but his sister and brother-in-law was nowhere to be found. "Did the two of them leave the house?" Kyle asked Erwin who was currently looking at the magazine that Kyle and Luiz bought for work reference.
"I don't think so. Sir Stefan brought young mistress in their room."
"Oh." Kyle sat on the couch and looked towards Erwin. "Aren't you coming with us today?"
"Nope. Sir Stefan said that someone will be coming over to stay for few days. I need to be here to take care of the guest in behalf of you guys."
"Did they tell you who it is?"
"Oh right! They haven't told me who it would be." Erwin put his hand on his chin and thought for a while. "Well, I know most of their friends and acquaintances. I should know if I should let that person in or not. If I'm not sure, I can always give them a phone call."
Kyle nodded his head. "What souvenir do you like? I can bring something for you."
"If you can find a little red riding hood stuff toy, I'd be very happy."
"You haven't forgotten that episode of your life?" Kyle laughed at him but Erwin didn't react badly. It's because there's another meaning to that stuff toy now.
