She's My Sleeping Pill

While their youngest child was away, Cayenne got herself ready for work. She took a quick shower before Addie and Zaire could get to the mansion. She had already taken notes about Zaire's situation, so she kept it in mind to make sure that she won't accidentally open a sensitive topic.

"Hon, do you have any cravings? I'll cook for you before leaving for work," Stefan said when Cayenne came out of the bathroom.

"Won't you stay at home today?" Cayenne questioned in return. "Just work at home today, please? You can call Tristan and Elena to come over for lunch."

"Alright. I'll give them a call. What do you want for lunch?"

"I'm craving for lasagna," Cayenne answered and chuckled. "It was the first thing that came to mind," she added before giving him a peck on the lips. "I'll change my clothes now."

Stefan nodded his head and left his wife to give her time for preparation. He immediately went to the kitchen to make lasagna for his wife.

One hour later, Addie and Zaire came. The latter acted normally except for the dark glasses he was wearing, and Cayenne instantly knew that the man must have had puffy eyes.

"I'll set up the cameras first," Zaire said in a nasal tone voice and didn't wait for Cayenne's confirmation. It was his job, and he didn't need to ask permission all the time. He already knew which part of the house was allowed for vlogging and which wasn't.

"I'll help him," Addie said and brought Collins along with her to help Zaire.

Cayenne just watched them do their work for about a minute before going to the kitchen. There she found her husband setting the dining table with the helpers. Not long after, Tristan came but Elena wasn't around. The man told her that he agreed with Elena to only allow one person to come while the other would stay to supervise the employees in the company.

As soon as the helpers finished setting up the table for lunch, Cayenne called the others to join them. Callum and Cree weren't around yet, but they already told Cayenne that they were on the way with the next vlogging guest.

"Lasagna for lunch?" Tristan questioned and chuckled. "Miss Yen, you really have unpredictable cravings," he added while putting some food on his plate. "Where are the kids by the way? I don't see them."

"They're inside the nursery room," Stefan answered on behalf of his wife. "The nannies take care of them. They will be brought out after they finished feeding them."

"Miss Yen, can I just bring some food to Zaire?" Addie asked while sitting next to Tristan. "He said he wasn't hungry, but I know it's the opposite. He hadn't had his dinner last night and had no breakfast this morning, too. I'm sure he is just embarrassed to come over."

"Go ahead," Cayenne answered with a faint smile. "Just remind him to take it easy around me. I won't bite even if he makes a mistake today."

"Got it."

Tristan followed Addie with his gaze and sighed. "Miss Yen, did the boss tell you what happened?"

"Not the whole story, but I got the gist of it."

Cayenne had no idea what exactly happened to Zaire's father or the whole story that led to his parent's separation, but Stefan's words already indicated how sensitive the matter would be.

"By the way, I need your help with something later," Cayenne told Tristan when she remembered the message she received last night. "It's a very important task."

"I will always have your back, Miss Yen. Just let me know. Is this about Nikolai and Miss Ignacio?"

The moment he mentioned those two names, Cayenne felt a throbbing headache. "Let's not talk about them. I don't want to speculate things involving them."

Tristan pouted in response after Cayenne told him to stop talking about Nikolai and Isabelle Ignacio. He still got something interesting to tell them, but it seemed that Cayenne didn't want to bother herself about her most capable bodyguard.

Addie returned to her seat, and they all continued to eat their lunch. Stefan busied himself putting food on his wife's plate while Cayenne busied herself putting food on his plate.

[Why don't you just put food on your own plate and stop this PDA?] Addie thought helplessly while being stuffed with overloading sweetness from the couple.

During lunch, they talked about different things to divert their attention from Zaire. They didn't want the man to think that they were minding him so much. And once lunch was over, Cayenne and Addie went to the makeup room so Cayenne could get ready for her vlog while waiting for the guest.

"Sir! Ma'am!" called the nanny in a hurry as she run downstairs in a panic. "Madam! Sir!" Read captivating tales at freewebnovel

"Miss Yen is inside the makeup room," Zaire answered the nanny since he was in the living room. "Sir Stefan is in the study room with Tristan."

Knowing who to disturb between the couple, the nanny ran back upstairs to look for Stefan in the study room. "Sir Stefan, help."

Stefan instantly stood up from his seat and ran outside to find the children in the nursery room. He wasn't even asking the nanny about the issue as he was busy calming his mood to make sure that he won't affect his children.

"Sir, we tried to make them stop crying but they just won't," said the nanny once Stefan was inside the room with them. "The little princess had been crawling around the room in tears. She seemed to be looking for something, but she couldn't find it."

Hearing the nanny's words, Stefan picked up Jahzara first and sat on the bed with her sitting on his lap. The nanny picked up Aziel as well and placed the little boy on his father's lap. Stefan was now holding two kids in his arms.

Jahzara was still sobbing in her father's arms, and she was flailing to make him let go of her. Aziel wasn't moving a lot compared to the little girl, but he was wailing.

"Are you looking for Zeki?" As if understanding his question, both children stopped crying at once and looked at him. "Your brother went for a checkup. He will be back soon. He is currently staying with the doctor."

Stefan didn't know what went wrong, but the kids started crying again after he told them where Zeki went. He was confident that the kids were looking for the youngest child, but he didn't expect that their reaction would be worse.

"Go and get my phone in the study," Stefan told the nanny and the latter ran outside to get Stefan's phone immediately. When she returned and handed the phone to him, Stefan dialed Dr. Rivera's number and requested to make a video call so that the kids would be able to see Zeki.

[I can't believe they'd be so smart to even realize that one of them is not around.] Tristan thought while watching the whole scene from outside the door. [Will I have smart kids like them?]
