She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 554 - HE KNOWS HER BODY MORE THAN HER

Cayenne and Stefan was on their way to his company when Cayenne spoke up to break the silence. She was still worried for Rissy but she trusted that Oliver will not harm Rissy because of his life debt to Cayenne and Stefan.

"Do you think she'll be cured before Chris left for military?" Cayenne asked while looking outside the window.

"I don't really know." Stefan answered as he looked at the side profile of his wife. "Let's trust on that doctor's skill. Hopefully, she would. If she won't be cured by then, Chris will have a hard time dealing with his mission."

"That is true." Cayenne agreed and turned her head to look at him. "I hope everything will be alright."

"It will be. Don't worry." Stefan pulled her close and gently placed her head on his shoulder. "Everything happens for a reason. You should always remember that. We don't know why and with what they have experienced, it could be a challenge of their fate."

"A challenge of fate whether Chris leaves her or not?"

"Probably."

"And what about the thing that happened to us? What was that for?"

"It was a challenged to our trust, I guess."

Cayenne nodded her head in agreement but she didn't say anything anymore. She just closed her eyes and got some sleep on their way to the company.

When they arrived, instead of waking her up, Stefan carried her in his arms while letting the guards carry her handbag as well as his backpack which he had been carrying since yesterday.

Cayenne slept for a very long time while her husband worked silently beside her on the bed. He was reading a financial report, checking if something was amiss or if everything has been calculated correctly.

A deep frown appeared on Cayenne's face and she unconsciously curled her body. Stefan stopped reading the report on his tablet and put the gadget down on the bedside drawer near him. He watched Cayenne for few minutes and noticed her hands pressing on her lower abdomen.

"I told you it would be coming soon." He muttered as he printed a kiss on her frown. He got off the bed and walked towards the couch at the window. He picked up his backpack, opened it up and took out some of the necessary things that she'd be needing. 'I have never tried helping her wear a napkin. Would she be angry if I do so?' Stefan thought about it while checking the electric heat pack. Seeing that it was charging properly, Stefan removed her hands and pressed the heat pad on her stomach instead.

Cayenne felt the warmth on her abdomen and it was a lot better compared to the pain earlier. The frown on her face disappeared and she seemed to be sleeping peacefully now.

Stefan rubbed the heat pad in a circular motion while gently caressing her head. He already gave up on the idea of changing her napkin. He could already imagine the embarrassed look of his wife and he would probably sleep outside their room. He can't risk that.

'I'll just let you stain the bedsheet.' Stefan told himself with a faint smile.

The whole time Cayenne was sleeping, Stefan was only focusing his attention on her and the heat pad. He'd let her have the heat pad for around 15-20 minutes and removed it for 5 minutes to give her skin time to cool off before he put the item back again.

After two hours of sleeping, Cayenne stirred and her hand accidentally touched the warm item on her stomach. She opened her eyes and found Stefan looking at her.

"Why are you looking like that? Did I do something again?" Cayenne asked in confusion. She was still daze from her sleep but she recognized the worried look on her husband's handsome face.

"I told you it would come soon but you didn't listen to me. How come I know more of your body than you do for yourself?"

"I don't know." Cayenne pouted and took the heat pad from him. "I dirtied another bedsheet again." She muttered as she tried to sit up on the bed.

"It's fine. I'll have someone wash it. Are you feeling better now? I have made a ginger tea for you." Stefan handed her the insulated tumbler where he put the ginger powder before. He only needed to pour water inside it and it's ready for drinking.

"Thank you."

"Silly." Stefan flicked her forehead but he also kissed it afterwards. "You don't have to thank me. I am glad that I could help you ease the pain."

"I'd never feel this pain again if I get pregnant."

"Don't even think about it for now." Stefan replied without hesitation. "I brought extra jeans for you and other things you might need. You can go and change in the shower room once you feel a lot better. But don't force yourself."

"Yes, sir." Cayenne replied with her cheeky smile. Stefan went back to work while she slowly took a sip of the ginger tea that he made. 'Who's the luckiest in the world? Of course, it's me.' Cayenne told herself mentally. 'I have married the most caring and loving man in the world.'

Stefan had no idea that his wife's admiration for him soared to another level. He continued to look into the reports that were sent to him when he suddenly received an email from the finance department of the Dumrique's shipping line company. "What is this?" Stefan mumbled as he clicked on the attached file.

"Sir, we have a problem!" one of the personnel from the finance department went to the top floor and spoke to Magnus directly.

"What is it?"

"Sir, the report that I should be sending to you, I have sent it already."

"So, what is the problem?"

"The problem is, before I could send it to you, I accidentally sent it to the young master. He has a copy of the report. He'd know the situation of the shipping line."

Magnus sighed and shrugged his shoulders.. "No matter what we try to do, a secret cannot be kept forever."
