She's My Sleeping Pill

“You’ll cook? Then, I’ll help you.”

“But you just came back from work. You’ve been out the whole day.”

“It’s fine. I’d be happy to be your assistant.”

“Alright, then.”

“Let me get something first.” Stefan ran upstairs and saw the shopping bags outside their room. He opened the door immediately and brought everything inside while checking them as well. He wanted to use the matching apron that he just bought. “It’s here.” At once, he ran back downstairs and went directly to the kitchen.

“You don’t have to run, you know. I’m not going anywhere.”

.....

“I was just excited.” Stefan expressed while taking out the new apron he bought. “Here. This is yours and mine. We’ll use this whenever we cook.”

“No kidding. You really bought this?”

“Uh huh.” Stefan answered while walking towards his wife. “I’ll help you put this on.”

“Seriously hon, we can cook without matching aprons.”

“Just let me be. It’s cute wearing matching things.”

“You’re hopeless.”

“But you love me.” Stefan declared with faint laughter behind her. As soon as he was done, he kissed her neck which caught her off-guard.

Cayenne gasped at his touch and swiftly turned around to face him. “Stop flirting with me.” She said with flushed face. “We’re making dinner.”

“I know. I’ll stop.” Stefan even raised his hands in surrender before putting his own apron. “So, what shall we make for dinner?”

As the two of them busied themselves in the kitchen, Luiz secretly took a picture of them and recorded a short video as well.

‘He was busy with some things earlier but when he came home, he still accompanied my sister to cook. He also bought a matching apron. Look, no matter what you do, no one can separate this two.’ He posted the video and picture along this caption which showed how happy Stefan was while washing the vegetables. On the video, he was flirting with his wife as well and it was even captured when he stole a kiss on her cheek.

“I saw him earlier. He bought so many couple items.”

“I even berated my husband because he didn’t want to buy a matching apron. Look at this couple now! They look so cute together.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Dumrique will stay together! All those jealous people out there, stop trying to break them!”

“Stefan was so cute while choosing the couple items earlier in the mall.”

“I wish I am his wife.”

Comments after comments popped up and thousands of people liked his post in a span of minutes. After all, as a handsome young man in modeling industry, Luiz was slowly getting popular among men and women.

“Here’s a secret. I hope Mrs. Dumrique can read this just a heads up to one of the things that her husband bought. I was buying a matching underwear for me and my husband and he was there, too. He chose something really erotic.”

At first, Luiz didn’t know about this comment but as time went on, many people have read the comments and it was liked by many. A lot of people replied to it as well but the original commenter didn’t give any details. Her comment was pushed little by little until it was sitting on the top comment section.

Luiz pursed his lips and when he looked at his brother, Kyle was also looking at him. “Have you ever tried going to a lingerie section for women?”

“No. Kath would probably felt embarrassed if I do that.”

“Me neither.”

They both looked towards the kitchen and at the same time, they sighed in unison. Not long after, Erwin came home from work and their father also came back from visiting their mother’s grave. The two brothers stopped talking about it but they both sent a message to Stefan, warning him of a possible expulsion from their room.

On the other hand, Jade came home happily after dropping Ethan off at his house. She was holding the gift for her parents and the gift for her little brother.

“We’re home. Uncle Stefan gave us some gifts.” She handed the small box to her father and the other gift bag to her little brother who has no idea of gifts and stuffs. He was happy when he saw it was a new toy though.

Jillyanna was also back from the hospital. When she saw the gift that came from Stefan, she took it from her husband and excitedly opened it.

“Wait.” Travis held Jillyanna’s hand and snatched the box from her. “Let me open it first.”

“What’s there to be worried about? It’s from Stefan, right?” Jillyanna replied and snatched the box back from her husband.

If Travis didn’t see the post from Luiz and the trending comment that talks about the matching underwear, he would think it was a normal gift. But now?

“You open it in our room.”

“O-okay.” Jillyanna did as she was told, not wanting to argue with him. However, when she got inside the bedroom and saw the two items lying inside the box, she shouted at the top of her lungs from embarrassment. “Travis, I’m going to kill your best friend!”

But since their room was soundproofed, her shout came out muffled and not a single word can be understood.

“I think mom was calling you Dad.”

“Nah. I think she’s just happy with the gift.”

In P Country, Tristan received the information from Elena accompanied with some pictures as proof. To keep their end of the deal, he sent the information to Denise Amir. She’s crucial to their plan while waiting for the response from the P Country’s President’s team.

As she received the message, she watched the sweet smile of her daughter while looking at her father. Denise was smiling, too but her tears were also falling on the screen of her phone. ‘Sorry Simon. Sorry Monique. Sorry mom.’ That’s all she said before erasing the pictures from her phone. Seeing them together was enough for her. She knew that Simon won’t abandon their child even if he didn’t love the mother of his daughter. She just knew. After all, she was the man that her heart chose to love.

“This weekend, someone will go out of the island to get more people for the poison testing. Find a way to blend with them. I’ll send you the picture of the kidnapper later.”
