Upon returning home from the party, Cayenne and Stefan didn't bring the kids directly to their room. The helpers looked after the triplets while Cayenne and Stefan went to take a quick half bath.
Unlike their shower time in the past where they could take as much time as they want, having kids now makes them take short baths.
The first to come out was Stefan. He dried his hair as soon he came out and put on his clothes before going downstairs to take the kids to their room. Of course, he didn't forget to pick Cayenne's sleepwear that matches the one he was wearing.
Stefan removed Zeki's clothes first and wiped him with a wet tissue before changing him into a fresh set of clothes. He did the same thing with Azeil and Jahzara. By the time Cayenne checked them, he was done changing the kids' clothes already.
"Aziel seems really sleepy," Cayenne commented when she noticed their second child was drifting off to sleep with his head lying on this father's lap. "Let me carry him while you feed Ayena," Cayenne said and lifted their baby boy.
"Hn. Sit on the bed. I'll put some pillows on your back and on your lap to support your arms. It would be tiring to carry him all the time."
No matter how tired he was, the moment he came home, he would never fail to do his duty as a husband and as a father. He was doing his best to live up to his promise when he married her.
"Don't worry about the things that create ruckus online," he said while feeding their little princess. "Just remember that I am always here for you. I'll solve them in due time. Let them celebrate this small victory for now,"
"I'm not worried. I don't want to waste my energy getting bothered by your cousin and auntie. I have work. I have kids. I have people who depend on me. I have you.
Who are they to get my attention?"
Stefan grinned at her knowing that his wife had learned how to choose her own battle.
Meanwhile, Julia arrived home but didn't find her mother in the living room. It didn't matter to her. She had dinner with her friends already and she wanted to get some good night's sleep after what she did to Cayenne. She felt so satisfied.
She called her husband the moment she got inside her room and informed him about what she did for the day. Her husband wanted to reprimand her, but was worried that she would feel disappointed. In the end, he could only remind her to always be careful and not to go overboard when dealing with Cayenne.
Unfortunately, revenge was not something Cayenne deserved.
She has done nothing but goodness and she had a clear conscience.
The next morning, while Cayenne and Stefan were still sleeping, the Flores family received a piece of bad news. The eldest son of their family who married an actress was caught cheating on her. The actress was enraged and filed a divorce right away.
For a business family, what the actress did was nothing to their family. She was not a loss to them. After all, their son could still live his life with a new wife.
Unfortunately, it didn't just end there.
"Sir, something happened at the construction site of the Palmera Apartment complex," said the secretary of Engineer Flores who just ended the call with someone from the site. "Several men are injured after a part of the scaffoldings collapsed."
Engineer Flores could not believe his ears from hearing such a thing. He even had to ask his secretary to repeat what he just said to believe him.
"Let's go and check the site immediately! How did it happen? I have always told everyone to carefully check the material as well as the equipment! How could they be so careless?"
"I'm not really sure myself," answered the secretary while following his boss to the parking lot. "The foreman already called for an ambulance and the injured men were currently being taken to the hospital. Why don't we check the hospital first to see those people?"
"You are right. Let's go and check them first. Their lives are more important. If something bad happens to them, my name – all the hard work I put up all these years will be ruined!"
It wasn't even an hour yet when the eldest son of the family got reported to be cheating on his wife; their construction company also faced a crisis.
For construction companies, what they cared about the most was their reputation for constructing a building without any mishap. They prided themselves in this aspect. Now, the Flores family was facing backlash.
Inside one of the mansions at Hera Subdivision, Caroline Flores was pacing back and forth while biting her fingernails in anxiety. Her mother was sitting on the couch with her hands clasped in prayers.
[How could this happen at the same time? It's not because of what I did yesterday, right?] Caroline Flores thought while biting her fingernails in worry. Her parents had no idea what she did yesterday and if they would find out, she could already imagine herself living in the streets. [No! That can't be! I am sure that Mr.
Madrigal and Mr. Dumrique won't stoop so low as doing this.]
Sadly, she got the wrong impression of those men.
Stefan and Travis would, no doubt, stoop to the lowest level for their families, especially for their wives.
It wasn't just the Flores family who was facing some kind of crisis. The Amari family who owned several beauty salons and spas, as well as the Pardillo family who owned the largest technology company in the city, were suffering from Stefan's wrath.
Supposedly, he would deal everything for these three families but Travis told him to leave the Flores family in his hands. He hated it when someone disrespects his wife, and Caroline Flores was someone who talked back to Jillyanna yesterday.
"I'm certain that Stefan or Travis is behind all of these shits happening in our lives," Caroline expressed within their group chat.
"Even if you are certain that it was them, do you have proof?" Anya Pardillo retorted which shut Caroline down. "In the first place, it was our fault that this happens. If we didn't go there to crash that party, our families won't be facing these crises!"
"No! It's not our fault. We weren't supposed to go there anyway. It was Julia who told us to go there and crash her cousin-in-law's party. It was her who told us that Stefan won't retaliate against us," Jessa Amari told her friends in the chat.
"Excuse me? You could have refused me when I told you about it. You also wanted to mess up the party which was why you went there. Don't just blame me! You have your own brain! Duh!" Julia responded that angered the three women even more.
Their families were having troubles already and instead of helping, Julia ignored their complaints.
Knowing that Julia would be able to see their messages in the group chat, Caroline sent her two other friends a message. "I'm going to apologize to Mr. Madrigal and Mr. Dumrique. I don't know which of them is responsible for the problem that my family is facing right now, but I know it has to be one of them."
