Cayenne stood still for a moment and when Jade tugged her fingers, she looked towards Stefan and cried. "I knew it! I knew that you were up to something when you brought me to the mall."

  "Eh?" Jade looked at Cayenne in confusion and realized, 'Ah! Must be tears of joy.' Jade smiled sweetly as well.

  "We'll settle our score later." Cayenne told Stefan and looked back to the little girl in front of her. "Thank you so much for coming Jade."

  "Of course. I wouldn't miss to celebrate your birthday. Let's go to the backyard? They're all waiting for you."

  "Can I go change my clothes first?"

  "What's wrong with your clothes? You look pretty in that clothes."

  "I've been out for a day. I don't think it's appropriate."

  "O-okay. Then, go and change." With Jade's signal, Cayenne ran upstairs to change her clothes. Stefan just followed her with a smile on his face and rubbed Jade's head when he passed by her.

  Cayenne's backyard has a huge expanse of land that still belonged to her property. They chose the area near the mango orchard since it was the place with less plants and more space for the event. The guests were chatting, drinking and some were dancing to the faint beat of the music. They were all waiting for Cayenne and Stefan.

  As soon as Cayenne got out of their room and went to the living room, Jade handed her a handkerchief.? "Brother Luiz asked me to blindfold you with this handkerchief."

  "Oh." Cayenne took the handkerchief and handed it to Stefan. "Do I have to?"

  "Just cooperate with their surprise." Stefan answered and took the item from he. He tied it around her head, not so tight and not so loose, just enough to make sure that she won't see a thing. "Are you ready?"

  "Yeah." Cayenne felt her husband held her left hand and Jade took the right. "You better make sure that I won't trip and embarrass myself."

  "Uncle and I will keep you safe." Jade answered and the three of them slowly walked to the backyard of her house.

  Luiz immediately lowered the volume of the sound system and motioned everyone to keep quiet for a while. They all stood there, watching Cayenne walk blindly with Stefan and Jade guiding her. Sometimes, she'd scold Stefan when she'd trip on something ever so lightly. She's really afraid to fall and embarrass herself in front of the people whom she could barely guess.

  "Give me a sec." Stefan stepped behind her and untied the handkerchief around her head. At first, her vision was blurry. She rubbed her eyes for several seconds and looked ahead of her.

  "Happy birthday Yen!"

  Cayenne's face lit up and she smiled at everyone who came to celebrate her birthday. It turned out that, while she has a different plan for her birthday, her brother along with Stefan already made plan for her special day as well.

  "Even if you say that you weren't involved in this surprise, I wouldn't believe it." Cayenne whispered to her husband while looking at the people in front of her. "Who else could invite these number of people. I'm pretty sure my brothers couldn't."

  "Don't belittle your brothers."? Stefan whispered back.

  "Are you just going to keep whispering over there?" Kyle questioned using the microphone he had been holding since earlier. Cayenne just smiled and gave Stefan a little pinch on his waist before she continued to walk and talked with everyone.

  "Happy birthday, sweetheart." Reuben greeted and handed Cayenne his small gift. It was just a small box but it was equivalent to a big item.

  "Thank you, dad."

  "Happy birthday, Yen." Luna greeted and following her were her colleagues when she still worked in Clover Hotel.

  Manager Dan was also present so Cayenne took this opportunity to thank the man who brought Cayenne the wonderful gift she has presently. "It was your careless action that brought me here, Manager Dan. And although it was careless, it brought me so much happiness. Thank you for giving me that task over a year ago."

  "Your welcome. I'm glad that things turned out well. Happy birthday." Manager Dan replied and also gave Cayenne his gift.

  "Huh? What task?" Manager Kim asked in wonder.

  "Right. What is this secret between you two?" Luna added with a pout but no matter how much they try to ask the manager, he wouldn't say anything.

  One after another, people greeted Cayenne and handed their gifts. There were so many of them that the organizer had to get an extra table just for the gifts. They sang her a happy birthday and after she made a wish and blew the candle, everyone finally started eating.

  While everyone was having dinner, Daisy and Dalia went up stage to give their well-wishes for Cayenne. The two ladies looked really pretty with their dress. It was the first time that they attended such grand event and they were nervous but Luiz told them to relax and just be themselves in front of everyone.

  Unlike other rich people wherein their servants can't attend this kind of celebration, Cayenne's family didn't impose the same rule to their helpers. Whenever there's an occasion, they can join the event and just do their tasks later on.

  "Ms. Yen is a very sweet and caring person. She has a big heart for poor people and she does her best to understand everyone in her household. She treats us like an extension of her family and we are so happy that we've met her along with sir Stefan. This day marks your 24th year in this world and we wish that you will have more birthdays to come. May you live hundreds of years more. Happy birthday, Ms. Yen."

  "Thank you, ladies. I'm happy that our paths have crossed, too." Cayenne expressed happily and everyone gave them a round of applause.

  Next was Justin but he was too shy and nervous in front of everyone so, he gave the letters to Cayenne. It wasn't just a letter from him but letters from the children back in his home as well. There were drawing and paintings and some scribbles that wishes her good health and happy life.

  Jade also gave her short speech and after her, Luiz and Kyle did as well. To her surprise, Ferdinand, Stefan's grandpa also came in front of them to give his well-wishes and for some reason, Cayenne had a feeling what the message would be.

  "Having Cayenne as my granddaughter-in-law is one of the greatest things that I have received in life. She's pretty much the core of the family that kept us all intact. She's practically an angel to us. Without her, I would probably die with my grandson still hating me and his father. Without her, perhaps, Stefan would still be fooling around outside. But because she came, our lives have been changed. I am so grateful to you, young lady. I wish you good health and longer life than I. Also, I heard that you're going to Turkey tomorrow. I hope you will bring us good news when you get back. My hands are really itching to hold my great grandson or great granddaughter. That's all. Happy birthday Yenyen."

  Cayenne smiled sheepishly but she still couldn't stop herself from chuckling at the end of the message. She knew it. She knew that Stefan's grandpa would ask her to have a baby and she was happy with the request. The problem was…Cayenne looked towards her husband beside her who only clapped his hands without giving a comment.

  'Sigh. He won't agree no matter what. I can't do anything about it.' Cayenne thought and just continued smiling.

  One after another, the guests gave their well-wishes speech and those that did not, they just left a card on their gifts to Cayenne. And because Riley was there, she was able to make things a lot lovelier than it already was. She led everyone to play a game which revolves around Cayenne with prizes. The prizes even came from her own pocket.

  The bodyguards couldn't escape her claws as well. She asked them to give a presentation for their mistress. The guests were laughing at her humor, putting the guards on the spotlight.

  "Come on. You should do something for your young mistress." Riley urged them with an evil smile on her lips. She really wanted to have some fun and it would be refreshing to see the bodyguards making a performance.

  "Can we have a representative instead? Ms. Riley, not all of us are talented but some can definitely perform something." One of the bodyguards tried to make a bargain and since she didn't want to really make it difficult for them, she agreed.

  Surprisingly, the bodyguards showcased their talents that struck the guests. They performed an acapella without even practicing. Cayenne's jaw dropped to the ground when she heard them and Riley was even more surprised. She was already expecting them to be dancing or maybe sing a song but she didn't expect them to do an acapella.

  "Why didn't I know that we have very talented bodyguards?" Cayenne asked Stefan who was also watching the performance.

  "I didn't know either. I didn't look into their talents when I hired them."

  While everyone was having fun, another car pulled to the side of the gate where the other vehicles were parked. A woman stepped out of the expensive car and looked at the house in front of her. "Overprotective……" She muttered while removing her shades.
