Chapter 489 - WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

Stefan chose her clothes for her which was a simple shirt and short. They're not going anywhere at some point and if he let her dress elegantly, she would know what he was up to.

Cayenne put on the clothes and dried her hair without any problem. "I'll be at the balcony." Cayenne mentioned and was walking to open the door already.

Stefan hurriedly put on his clothes and messily combed his hair with his fingers. Just this once, he wanted to do something simple for her. Well, the set up and the whole place was simple but he's got something a little expensive for her.

The moment that she turned on the light, she saw the romantic dinner that her husband prepared for her. Technically, the bodyguards prepared them after getting instructions from Stefan.

There were lovely rose petals on the floor although some of them were blown by the wind already. There were four scented candles in every corner and Stefan went to lighten them up before turning off the lights, leaving the candles as the only source of light for them.

From the balcony, you can see the beautiful nightscape of the city which was breathtaking and mesmerizing.

"Do you like it?" Stefan asked while looking at his wife who was leaning on the rail to watch the view in front of them.

"It's beautiful."

"I know. It matches you."

Cayenne blushed from his compliment but thankfully, he couldn't see it because of the light; or else, he will tease her again.

"When did you ask someone to do all these?" she questioned while looking at the whole set up in their balcony. "I didn't notice you calling someone to do this."

"I asked the bodyguards." Stefan answered. He hooked his arms around her waist and pulled her closer so that she can lean her back on his chest. "I'm glad that you like it."

"I don't remember disliking something that you prepare for me." She answered as she put her hands on his arms. "But you didn't really need to do this."

"I know but I still want to do it for you anyway."

"Right." Cayenne nodded her head because no matter what she says to stop him, he will still do it to surprise her. "So, what's our dinner?"

Stefan pulled away from her and instead held her hand to lead her back to the table. He pulled out a chair and helped her sit before opening the food covers.

"We have beef chuck roasts, pasta, chicken, and scallops. The restaurant didn't have the wine that you like so, I asked them for champagne instead."

Even though he ordered a lot of food, it wasn't much for Cayenne. She likes to eat and she can eat a lot.

Normal dates would make people sit across each other, talking and laughing with someone opposite to them. But this time, Stefan was sitting next to Cayenne. He was busy serving her while she was busy serving him. Looking at them, you would know that they're the best sample of give-and-take couple.

"So, why did you prepare this?" Cayenne asked before eating the pasta from her fork.

Stefan looked at her with narrowed eyes, scrutinizing if she really has no idea of why he was doing it. "You asked me if I have forgotten something earlier but I think you are the one who forgot it."

Cayenne chewed on her food and was about to eat the chicken meat when she heard his response. Her frown was evident on her face, showing her confusion. "I don't think I forgot something. What do you mean?"

"Well, what date is it today?"

"The 23rd of the month."

"So?"

"I know it's our 6th monthsary. I even prepared a gift -  oh! I see. I really thought you forgot it's our monthsary. So, you prepared this because it's our monthsary. Hahaha I'm so silly." Cayenne laughed cheerfully when she realized how silly she was. She thought that Stefan prepared it for no reason because most of the time, he will come up with surprises for no reason.

Stefan leaned closer and kissed her temple while grinning at her. "Silly or not, I will still love you."

"I thought you forgot because you seemed weird earlier and I thought that you didn't remember this day."

"How could I forget it?" Stefan questioned before taking a sip of his wine. "I'll probably forget anything except for this day."

"No wonder."

"No wonder what?"

"It's a secret. You'll find out next month?"

"Next month? That's a bit long.  Why won't you just tell me today?"

"Because I want to tell you next month. Anyway, just eat your food. It will be cold if you won't eat it." Cayenne changed the subject immediately and continued eating.

However, Stefan didn't move to pick up his spoon and fork. He was just looking at her with a foolish smile on his lips.

"Why aren't you eating? And stop looking at me."

"Why can't I look at my wife?"

Cayenne didn't have any answer to that. Just why can't he look at his wife? There's no problem with that, right? It would be a problem if he's looking at someone else.

Since she can't answer his question, Cayenne smiled and looked at him as well. "Let's look at each other, then."

"I love that but I think we can do that later."

Cayenne rolled her eyes at him and just ate her food. Stefan finally started eating as well and sometimes, he would feed her too. Her cheeks were bulging from the food he kept feeding her; as if she was a little hamster that he was raising.

"Why are you feeding me so much when it's night time."

"It's a secret. I'll tell you later."

"Hey! Are you getting back at me?"

"Of course not. If I would do so, I should be telling you next year. After all, you'll be telling me your secret next month."

Cayenne's jaw dropped from disbelief with what he was saying even though she knew that Stefan wouldn't really do it to get back at her. "Hmp! If you didn't forget, I wouldn't keep it either."

"Alright. It's my fault. Once you tell me about next month, you can punish me as well."

Cayenne thought about the kind of punishment she would impose but she instantly shakes her head to dismiss the idea. If she would punish him, she will get twice the punishment. She wouldn't do it.

The two of them talked about other things while eating their food and drinking their wine. They talked about her future plans and the things that she wanted to do. None of them mentioned their wedding. Cayenne knew that Stefan was preparing for the wedding but she knew nothing about the date, the venue and other things. Everything was in her husband's control.

"I promise to spend my Sunday with you but I forgot to tell you that I grandpa wants to play golf with me."

"With you? Not with me?"

"You don't even want to spend time with them and you expect them to play golf with you?"

"You have a point." Stefan responded nonchalantly before taking another sip of his wine.

Cayenne looked at him, observing his expression but he was showing disinterest with the topic. "Actually, grandpa wanted to invite you but he realized that you disdained spending time with them so, he asked me instead."

"But I can still come with you, right? You promised to spend your Sundays with me."

"Hn. You'll be coming with me. How about you teach me how to play? I don't really know how to play it and there's no way I'd ask someone else to teach me."

"Alright. I'll be your coach." Stefan answered almost instantly knowing that his wife will be depending on him.

Watching his expression, Cayenne couldn't stop herself from smiling. "You are so easy to please." Cayenne commented as she put down her utensils and wiped her mouth with the tissue.

"Only by you, darling." Stefan whispered and winked at her. "I'm not easy to please when it comes to business."

"Of course, you aren't. You wouldn't be what you are today if you're someone so easy to deal with. Your achievements are enough to say how good you are."

"Speaking of being good." Stefan put down his wine glass and held her hand. "I've been good this whole time and I didn't go to your school without your permission. I took care of the things that you couldn't do because of your tight schedule and I made sure to always look after our family. So, where's my reward?"

Cayenne kissed him quickly and smiled at him. "That's your reward."

"Also, you promised me that as long as can hold on during weekdays, I can get my reward on Friday and today is Friday. So, I'm getting my reward now." Stefan was about to kiss her when Cayenne covered his mouth with her hand.

"Wait. Just wait a minute. We haven't cleaned the balcony yet.." Cayenne muttered with her flushed face.
