793 TWENTY- NINE I

The next day, Stefan woke up happily and showered Cayenne’s face with kisses. Obviously, he was excited because it was his 29th birthday. Who wouldn’t be happy reaching this year of their life? One should be thankful that God gifted them another year with their loved ones.

Cayenne giggled as she opened her eyes to the handsome sight of her husband. They were currently sharing the same shirt and she hugged her waist a little bit closer, just enough to make sure that her baby bump won’t get squashed between them,

“Good morning.” She greeted him and kissed his chin. “I have an early class today. Can you send me instead of Kyle?”

“Sure,” Stefan answered without thinking too much about the fact that she didn’t greet him with a happy birthday. “Let me up and choose your clothes for today.”

“Okay. I’ll shower while you do that.” Cayenne snaked out of the shirt and stood up with just her underwear. She went to the bathroom on her own without saying anything else. Stefan was baffled at her actions but he dismissed whatever idea he has. He thought it was normal for her to forget something but not five seconds later, he was upset because she surely remembered the date. The event went to visit Alexander’s grave yesterday to make space for today.

Cayenne grinned when she reached the bathroom and took a shower. She felt that her prank would be successful today. She just needed to act well so that he won’t get suspicious of her.

After bathing, she went to find him in the walk-in closet and sure enough, he was there choosing their clothes again. “I can’t have lunch with you later,” Cayenne commented while putting on her bra. “We have an exam in the afternoon but I didn’t get the chance to study yesterday. I planned to spend half an hour from my lunch break to study a little. I can’t afford to fail.”

“Hon”

“Yes?”

.....

Stefan could no longer endure it and asked, “Aren’t you forgetting something today?”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Cayenne cocked her head to the side, looking like she was thinking when she was. “I don’t think so. I have prepared everything I would need for my classes today. Ah! I forgot to mention, we will be leaving for City C for a seminar.”

“When?”

“In the afternoon?”

Cayenne nodded his head once again but he looked reluctant to agree with her. Dejected, he gave Cayenne the clothes and helped her put on her leggings and shoes again. Right after she finished changing her clothes, he carried her bag and books for her to the living room while she walked slowly beside him. He was silent the whole time.

Even when he sent Cayenne to school, Stefan didn’t talk much and he seemed like something was in his mind. Still, even if she has ‘forgotten’ that it was his birthday because of so many things she needed to do, Stefan still made sure that she will be taken care of properly.

“Make sure to keep an eye on her and the people who would approach her. She can bend to get things on the floor or carry heavy things. Make sure that she gets herself hydrated. Monitor her water bottle all the time. Check her medication in case she forgets to drink them.”

“Yes, sir. I understood” Martin answered after listening to Stefan’s long list of reminders. He bowed and opened the door a little wider for Cayenne to step down from the car. He picked up her things and handed the books to someone else to make sure that nothing would hinder him from protecting their Queen. Stefan would probably behead them if something bad happens to Cayenne again.

Upon his arrival in the company, his employees greeted him with a happy birthday and Stefan only smiled faintly. Obviously, he wasn’t really happy that they were greeting him. They didn’t need to ask what or who the reason could be. Only one person could change his mood and that would be Cayenne. His employees started to wonder what happened on this special day for Stefan to have that sad expression on his face.

Worse, when he arrived in his office, Elena and Tristan acted as if nothing was special on this day. Elena just greeted him with good morning and went on directly with the summary of his schedule. Tristan was the same. He looked for Stefan to inform him about the update regarding Solomon’s team and after that, he talked about the meeting with another client. None of them greeted him with a happy birthday! They were acting like it was another normal day for him and it disappointed him.

Before, when he didn’t want to celebrate his birthday, they would always greet him. Now that he was ready to celebrate it, none of the special people were greeting him. His father didn’t even greet him.

“This day is hateful,” Stefan mumbled while opening his computer to start working. “Did they really forget that it is my birthday today? How could that be possible? Or did they finally give up because I insist on not to celebrate my birthday?” Stefan placed his hands on his chin and looked outside the window of his office. “My wife forgot it as well? Could it be she just really forget and would greet me in the afternoon?”

He still held on to the hope that Cayenne would greet him in the afternoon but Cayenne has no plan to spoil his party. She would never greet him, not until they arrived in the place that she wanted him to see. It was a special place that both of them treasured the most.

“Did he notice anything?” Noah asked Cayenne when she came to school.

“I don’t think so, but I feel guilty for doing this.”

Noah just laughed at her because it was her idea to do this and treat her husband normally on this special day. “Don’t worry. You wouldn’t notice the time would go by so quickly if you’re busy. Let’s just do our best at school today and leave everything to Kyle and Jackson. I’m sure they will do their best. Anyway, we’ll come to see them in the afternoon.”

“I think I’ll message him a happy birthday. I’m having a hard time because of my guilty conscience. Greeting won’t do any harm, right?”

“It’s up to you.”
