Chapter 437 - SPENDING A DAY SEPARATELY

Friday came in the blink of an eye and Cayenne felt like the days were passing by really quickly. As always, she woke up earlier than her husband and got out of bed without waiting for him.

Two minutes later, Stefan came looking for her in the bathroom.

Every single time she wakes up earlier, he would wake up two minutes later and would look for her immediately. She felt that their time being away with each other was improving and also not improving. She didn't know which one exactly. 

This time, she planned to be spending the whole day without him beside her. He will go to work like usual and she will go somewhere without him. In fact, that somewhere was Hacienda de Amore. She's going to visit Jillyanna at the farm without her husband tagging along with her.

Just thinking of her plan made Cayenne tremble in worry. She didn't know if Stefan would be able to take it.

Stefan was hugging from behind and buried his face on the crook between her shoulder and neck. She was brushing her teeth with a big guy clinging on to her like a little kid clinging to her mom.

"I won't be going to the office with you today." Cayenne mumbled after gurgling the water and wiped her face.

Stefan groaned and even bit her shoulder lightly but Cayenne only closed her eyes to feel the little bit of pain. "Why won't you come with me?"

"I'm going somewhere today. I'll have to deal with some things on my own. Anyway, the guards will be with me so, it's not really a big deal."

"But I will be alone in the office." Stefan responded in a disgruntled voice. "I don't want to be alone for the entire day."

"I'll try to drop by in the afternoon if I have time. But I can't really promise."

Stefan hugged her even tighter for five more minutes before letting go of her. "Alright. Make sure to send me a message once you're leaving the house and let me know who you're meeting with later."

"I'll just tell you now to stop you from worry." Cayenne turned around and kissed the tip of his nose. "I'll be meeting with Jill this morning and I will have lunch with her. In the afternoon, I will meet with my father – my biological father, and I'm not sure if I can leave early. In any case, as long as I still have time, I'll come and get you from the office."

"Alright. Don't forget to bring the trackers with you and your pen. Wear the bracelet all the time and don't let go of your bag and phone." Stefan reminded her over and over again with worry clouding his face.

Cayenne was also worried but not for herself. She was worried for him. Not knowing how else she can put him at ease, she caught sight of the shower behind him. "Want to shower together?"

Stefan's eyes lit up but it dimmed not seconds later. "No matter how much you bribe me, I'm still not pleased with our arrangement."

Cayenne just laughed it off and pushed him under the shower head. Just a little bit. She wanted to cool his head off just little bit with her own initiative.

This day, Clarisse was also going to take her entrance examination in Trine Elite University. Just like her, who supported Luiz last time, now, it was Luiz' turn to support her.

The young man was holding the bags containing souvenirs from the recent trip he had with her family. One bag was for Clarisse and the other was for Jade which Cayenne will have to bring in his behalf.

Cayenne and Stefan walked downstairs hand in hand with different expressions. Cayenne looked exhausted while Stefan looked satisfied. In Cayenne's mind, she really regretted taking shower with him early in the morning but what can she do? Things have been done already. She cannot undo it.

"Good morning, Yen. Good morning, brother-in-law." Luiz greeted the two of them from the living room.

"You're early today." Cayenne commented as she strutted towards him and sat on the couch right beside Luiz. "Are you going anywhere?"

"Clarisse will have her examination today."

"Oh." Cayenne made a perfunctory remark while nodding her head. "I hope she'll pass the exam like you."

"She will." Luiz answered with confidence. He believed that his girl will make it with no doubts. "By the way, can you give this to Jade later? You're going to meet with her family, right?"

"Hn. I'll give it to her." She received the gift bag and placed it on her side. Stefan wasn't saying anything but he was hugging her while pressing his face on her back. He's really clingy towards her. "Let's eat breakfast now." She gently her husband's hand to get his attention but Stefan tightened his hug instead.

"Give me five minutes. Let's stay like this for five minutes."

Watching this clingy big man in front of him, Luiz was shaking his head in disbelief. Who said that his brother-in-law was cold? Who's cold? The person he was looking at right now was like an insecure child.

"He's not coming with you to see the Madrigal family?" Luiz asked when he realized why Stefan was acting like this again. He only does this when Cayenne chose to leave home without him.

Cayenne nodded her head while caressing her husband's hand. "He needed to work and I needed to do something as well. We'll have to spend a day separately."

"No wonder he's clinging to you like a gum."

Stefan ignored his remarks and just hugged his wife when five minutes was over, he groaned in disapproval while Cayenne pried his hands open so she can get out from his clasp.

"Hubby, you should do your best at work. You can stop worrying about me because I will be fine."

"Wifey, take care of yourself and be extra careful when I'm not around. Also, have fun with the people you'll be meeting today."

He may not agree with this plan of hers. He may be upset and unhappy. But at the end of the day, Stefan still wished for her happiness and safety.
