808 TELLING SECRETS II

“This isn’t a good joke, Stefan.” Stanley reproached but Stefan, instead of saying something, he only smiled at his uncle and it caused the man to fall to his knees. “You’re kidding me, right?”

“I’ll go and eat with Kyle, first. Take your time with this little reunion.” Cayenne whispered and left to join the others on the veranda. There was a long table set up there and different kinds of dishes were prepared for this lunch. Still, Cayenne’s eyes were on the grilled squid that Carla grilled along with the others. Some of the bodyguards helped with the barbecue as well.

“Miss Yen, we prepared these for you.” Martin placed a grilled squid and a stuffed grilled squid in front of her and Kyle so that she won’t have a hard time reaching for them. “If you need more, just let us know. We’re ready to make more for you.”

“Thank you, Martin,” Kyle responded because Cayenne could not say a word anymore. She already started eating. Don’t underestimate the hunger of a pregnant woman.

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

There was a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door from the living room to the veranda so Stefan could see his wife eating happily with the grilled squid she requested. They had to close the glass door to prevent anyone from hearing the conversation in the living room where Stanley poured out his heart to his sister whom he didn’t see for a very long time.

From time to time, Cayenne would glance back to the living room and when she sees that Stefan was doing fine, she would continue to eat her food. She didn’t know when the family would end their conversation so, she ate her food slowly to wait for her husband. She really wanted to be there for him but she was afraid that she’d get a little emotional with the reunion which prompted her to distance herself from them.

Half an hour later, Stefan slides the door open and came out. Following behind him was Latticia in her wheelchair and the one pushing it was now her brother. Dr. Albert was the last to come out with a little wound on his lower lip.

“Did he get punched?” Cayenne whispered to her husband as soon as he seated himself beside her. “That looks painful.”

“He said he deserved a punch or two for what he did,” Stefan replied and took one of the sliced squids from her plate. “Delicious.”

.....

“That’s mine!” Cayenne pouted and pinched his waist. “Why did you eat that? What’s going to happen to you now?”

“What’s going to happen to me?” Stefan was confused by her question and he noticed that everyone was looking at him. “Is there something wrong with the squid?”

“No, that’s not it,” Carla answered with a faint helpless smile. “Many people believe that you should not eat the food on your wife’s plate.”

“Why? I have always done that before.” Then, he remembered that ever since she got pregnant, Cayenne would always warn him not to eat anything from her plate. “Is there something wrong with that?”

“You will get to experience what a pregnant woman would,” Kyle responded. He didn’t believe in it but he didn’t want to try doing it either. He was worried it would come true if he does that so he kept it in mind that if ever Kath gets pregnant in the future, he won’t ever eat anything from her plate.

“Oh! That’s great!” Stefan commented and his face really brightened at the thought of experiencing what his wife would.

Everyone: Don’t even think it’s a hassle for him. He’s the epitome of going through thick and thin together.

To see if it would be true, Stefan took another piece of grilled squid from Cayenne’s plate. He also peeled some shrimp for her and told her to take a bite before he ate the rest. Even when drinking, he shared the same juice with her.

On the other hand, Stanley was chatting with Latticia even though she wasn’t responding to any words he said. He just ignored Dr. Albert on the side because he felt like punching the man again but there were so many people around them. He didn’t call her by her real name, though.

Stefan and Dr. Albert talked to him about it and he agreed that this matter should be kept a secret from Magnus. Even if he was against it at first, he had to do it for the sake of his sister. His only wish was to tell his parents and his son about her but he promised he wouldn’t.

Their parents were old already and if they tell them the truth, they might send them to the other world due to the shocking news. It was a big no-no.

Stanley told Latticia as well that he was planning to get married once again and that the whole family has met the woman already. He wanted to introduce Jessie to her but because of the situation, he could only show her a picture of the woman he wanted to marry.

Everyone was having fun during lunch, except Dr. Albert probably because he suffered from the strong punch. His lower lip stung a bit whenever his food touched it. It was painful to eat.

After lunch, the helpers and the bodyguards cleaned the area and made sure to return the items to their respective spots. Cayenne hates it when things were just cluttering everywhere.

“Can I visit her again?” Stanley asked reluctantly.

“Why not? You just have to be careful that Jessie won’t misunderstand this matter. Well, mom would be on my property anyway so, you don’t have to worry about other people seeing you here and Dr. Albert will always be around to accompany you.”

“Hmph! I still won’t like him.” Stanley stubbornly refused with his arms crossed over his chest. “I didn’t know that he would abduct her and marry her.”

Stefan didn’t say a word. His uncle was right. What Dr. Albert did was considered abduction. “Don’t think about it anymore. If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t be alive and I wouldn’t see her.”

“Fine. Fine. I won’t say anything anymore.” Stanley muttered and turned around. “I will return to work now.”

“Bye, uncle. Take care of yourself. Send our regards to Jessie as well.” Cayenne stated and waved her hand at the man. “I’m sleepy.” She said and yawned while seeing him off.

[Hmm...I don’t feel sleepy so, it didn’t work.]
