Chapter 455 - LEARNING FROM JILLYANNA
Since Reuben and Ingrid decided to keep things to themselves about Cayenne's birth and existence, the reporters didn't dig deeper into this. They didn't want to complicate their life more and make enemies with the Montefalco and Dumrique family.
Because of this, many people were making their own speculations online about Cayenne. But nobody says her mother was a mistress since Ingrid clarified it to all of them that she was the one who ca in between the couple and ruined their family. If Ingrid ca from an average family, she would've suffered so much from the spit of other people from admitting that she's a mistress. Although, technically, she can't be called one since Erald and Reuben weren't married. Even so, people pitied her instead.
Obviously, she loves her husband but her husband loves soone else, to the point that he didn't want to have a child with her. She even took care of her rival and her rival's daughter without her husband knowing about it. Just where can you get a mistress like her? Even if she's associated with this word, people couldn't get angry at her. They could only sigh in pity.
Ingrid was silent ever since the conference ended until they reached ho. Reuben wanted to talk to her but she closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep. When they're inside their house, she holed up herself in the study room and didn't open it to anyone, not even her parents who ca to visit them after the press conference.
To her parents, it was really a shock that she'd call herself a mistress in front of everyone. They never expected that their one and only daughter would do sothing like that. Her brothers were also upset and they wanted to bla Reuben but when they rembered everything in the past, they could only grit their teeth and forget about their anger because Ingrid was indeed soone who selfishly asked for herself to be married to Reuben even knowing that he loves soone else.
On the other hand, Cayenne and Stefan were currently having lunch together. She just finished spending her ti with the kids in Justin's ho and now, it was ti for her husband and her to eat.
"Are you satisfied with what your father did for you this ti?" Stefan asked while putting so dishes on her plate.
"It doesn't really matter to . But, yeah, he did okay. I didn't expect him to claim his position as my father in public. Although it leaves everyone hanging for more info, I'm happy that he cleared my na swiftly and quickly."
"Will you say anything about your life to the people who supports you?"
"If they will ask, I'll answer them but not now."
They continued to eat while speaking softly over her recent issues. What Reuben said about her birth being a 'complicated' matter wasn't just an excuse. It's really complicated that even Cayenne was having a hard ti digesting everything that she found recently. At first, she only wanted to know about her father. When she finally got to know him, she unveiled one or two secrets about her mother and her life. Then, she decided to look into her mother which pulled her to more secrets. Knowing a lot of things about her life, overwhelms her. Thankfully, Stefan was with her every step of the way.
After lunch, the two of them went to Jillyanna's house with the bodyguards following them. She will have to learn few self-defense movents from Jillyanna herself. She could actually learn it from the body guards but she felt awkward around them when it cos to this matter so, she wanted to find Jillyanna who knows more stuff in this field.
When they reached Jillyanna's house, Cayenne was expecting to see Jade running out to greet her again but to her surprise, there was no little bun in sight. She looked around and couldn't really find her.
"Is Jade not ho?" she asked Jillyanna who was waiting for her in the living room.
"She's currently visiting Ethan." Jillyanna answered while giving Stefan a look. "I didn't expect you to be coming with him."
"What's wrong with that? I'm her husband so I can co along when she wants."
"Really? Or were you sulking again which made her bring you here?"
"Don't make fun of , will you? I wasn't sulking."
"Alright. I believe you." She even nodded her head in agreent but her face was obviously showing that she didn't believe him at all.
Seeing how Jillyanna teased him, Cayenne stepped in to save her husband from embarrassnt. "Ethan? Is he a family?"
"Ethan is not really a family.? He's –"
"Soon-to-be family." Stefan chid in which made Jillyanna chuckle.
"Don't let Travis hear that. It will definitely flip his switch." Jillyanna said while leading Cayenne to another room on the ground floor. "Ethan is the first friend that Jade acknowledged outside her family. They kind of understand each other so, they get along so well."
"Both of them are genius." Stefan comnted on the side as he followed them.
"I don't want to admit that but yeah, my daughter is a genius."
Cayenne was secretly observing Jillyanna when they talked about Jade. Even though the little girl wasn't made of her flesh and blood, Jillyanna still loves her like her own daughter. Jade was really lucky to et them and beco their adopted daughter.
As soon as they entered the room, Cayenne was astonished to see a lot of equipnt. It was basically an indoor gym but there was also a boxing ring and a lot of items that she has no idea how to use.
She turned to Stefan and smiled at him, a smile that Stefan didn't want to see. Without her speaking, he knows what she wanted to happen because of that sly and threatening smile of hers.
"I'll go and find Travis." Stefan stated and handed her bag to her.
"Okay. I'll see you later."
"Travis is in the study." Jillyanna ntioned in passing in case Stefan didn't know where to find him. When he left the place, three guards were stationed outside the gym just to make sure that soone can assist them if needed. "Let's change our clothes. Did you bring anything to change into? If there's none, I can let you borrow so of mine."
"There's no need. Even if I forgot to bring it, Stefan won't." Cayenne took the small duffel bag and found clothes, towel and other items that Stefan prepared for her. "See?"
"Very attentive."
"He is."
"He's only attentive to you." Jillyanna corrected. And it's true. Cayenne has to think about so many things and of so many people's welfare but he only thinks about her welfare. Just like
