Stefan and Cayenne's last agenda for the day was to buy furniture and appliances for Chris and Rissy's living room. The couple finally agreed to Cayenne's way of gifting them, so before they could change their minds, Cayenne told Stefan that they must get it done as soon as possible.
Since Stefan went to the newly built plaza for inspection before it would be open to the public, they decided to just meet at Coffee Bay. When they got there, he already finished drinking a cup of black coffee.
Cayenne kissed him on the lips and whispered, "I thought your kiss would taste bitter," which caused Stefan to chuckle and bury his head in the crook of her neck and shoulder.
"I didn't expect you'd flirt with me in public," he said and lightly bit her shoulder before licking it. Cayenne could only bite her lips to stop herself from moaning.
"I didn't flirt with you. You did."
"I guess, I did," Stefan retorted and laughed once again. "Anyway, shall we go now? We don't have so much time left. I want to go home and play with the kids."
"Really now?" Cayenne said with a look of disbelief on her face.
"I'm not lying."
"Promise?"
"Well, maybe a little. I'll play with them for a while then, I'll play with you until midnight."
Julia, who was standing right in front of the couple, didn't know where to place herself or what she should do at this point. Cayenne and Stefan were flirting openly in public. She had never done such a thing with her husband before nor she planned to do the same thing with him.
The couple was shameless.
[Okay. Maybe Cayenne was influenced by Stefan. I'm sure she's not like this based on the first time I met her.]
"Thanks for helping us, too," Cayenne said with a faint smile. "I hope we could spend more time like this."
"But you don't shop a lot, right?"
"I don't but I would whenever I get some time off. I'll be visiting an orphanage next week. Do you want to come with me and something for them?"
"Sure. Just ring me up. I'll go first. You both take care," Julia said and left.
Now that only the two of them were left, Cayenne and Stefan sighed. Julia seemed really genuine, but there were occasional times when she wears a creepy smile as if she was up to something no good again. They just couldn't put their guard down around her.
"Don't worry, hon. I won't let her come into contact with the children until we're not certain of her changes yet," Stefan told Cayenne when she was still looking down worriedly. "I will never let her hurt you and the children."
"I know that. I know you would protect us, but sometimes, I really wish that she has changed for good. I don't want to keep scheming or putting my guard against others."
"Then, shall we give them the villa?"
"Are you sure? If it's just me, I have no qualms about giving that place to them. I mean, we don't live there and I don't think we'd ever live in that place in the future. You even have properties in Tuscany that we're not using, too."
"I'm not sure about selling the mansion in Tuscany yet, but I am now sure I wanted to give the house to Celestine."
"Do you think Grandpa would be happy to know about our plans?"
"He told me to deal with them as I see fit as long as I won't hurt them."
"They're lucky to have you, but you're very unlucky to have them."
"They don't matter to me now. Next week, I'll process everything and hand over the house to them. I'll be bringing Uncle Wesley and Leonora to help us."
