Chapter 680: [Bonus chapter] RETURNING BACK TO THEIR NORMAL LIFE
The next day, Cayenne walked downstairs happily. They can finally go back ho to their humble abode and be free of worry because of Napoleone.
She saw her brothers in the living room, watching a news report which confirms Stefan’s activity last night.
“The man has been identified as Napoleone Dumrique. He escaped from prison last week and the police has been hot on his trail to catch him. Unfortunately, this man ran into so people and ssed with them. A person against a group, although the police didn’t know who were these people, there is a big possibility that they ca from the families of his victims. It is known to us that ...” the reporter continued to speak but Cayenne’s interest was no longer with the news. It’s already good enough that Napoleone is gone.
As for Stefan, she didn’t really know how the police would handle this. Lucian and Vincent surely know his involvent.
Luiz looked around and found his sister standing behind them. And not just that, he saw sothing else that prompted him to tease her.
“Sis, you might want to cover that hickey on your neck.”
Cayenne instantly placed her hand on the side of her neck where Luiz was pointing at. Her face was flushed from embarrassnt even though she was only talking to her brothers. “What...what hickey? This is...ah! It’s a mosquito bite!”
.....
Just in ti, Stefan ca down and all three pairs of eyes were looking at him.
“Good morning, Mr. Mosquito.” Luiz greeted which caused Cayenne to knock her brother’s forehead.

In the afternoon, before returning back to their ho, Cayenne and Stefan dropped by Senyu dical Hospital to visit Tristan. He wasn’t critically injured but Stefan insisted to have his n send him here. His wound was already stitched together and he had an arm cast to make sure that he won’t move his arm recklessly.
“Elena didn’t visit you?” Cayenne asked when she noticed that he was alone in the hospital room. “I thought she’d at least check up on you.”
“She didn’t know.” Tristan answered curtly.
“Is it serious this ti?”
“Which one, my fight with her or my injury?”
“Obviously, your injury is not that life-threatening since you can still joke with .”
Tristan stood and looked outside the window of his room. He could see other patients taking their routine walk and others were just chatting. “She accidentally saw and her father talking at my apartnt.”
“And did you explain what happened?”
“She wouldn’t give a chance. She blocked already. She avoided in the office like plague.”
Stefan pinched the space between his eyebrows and looked at his wife. He wanted to say that they shouldn’t interfere but he also had this feeling that if his secretaries won’t make up, he will lose one or both of his capable employees. He didn’t like that idea.
“I have a plan and I am sure that she will forgive you.”
Cayenne narrowed her eyes at her husband and crossed her arms over her chest. “Don’t tell you are planning to make him cook and coax Elena like what you did last night?”
“He can’t do the first and the last part of what I did last night. He can just coax her.”
“Alright. I want to know what’s the plan but leave the last part. I think I have an idea of what it was and I don’t need to know it.”
“Great! Here’s what you should do.”
Since it was Saturday, they couldn’t bring their plan into fruition. They needed to wait for Monday to co. To make it seem a lot more serious, Stefan posted a news on their company’s online bulletin. It will automatically notify all of his employees even if they didn’t want to check it.
[All managers, please report directly to starting Monday. Tristan won’t be coming to work due to health issues.]
“Is your assistant secretary alright, sir?”
“Does he need soone to take care of him?”
“Sir, is it alright if we visit him?”
“What happened to sir Tristan?”
“I wish he’s doing fine.”
“@Elle, your boyfriend needs help.”
“The girlfriend would probably stop coming to work to take care of him, too.”
“I noticed that they aren’t in good terms. @Elle, if you don’t mind, I can take care of him for you.”
Without reading their comnts, Stefan closed the page and focused on his wife who was now sitting beside him. They were on their way ho. Unlike him, Tristan paid attention to the comnts but Elena never replied to those comnts that ntioned her na. He felt really disappointed.
Stefan had been observing Cayenne every day and he noticed that she was improving a lot. She was no longer jumpy to loud sounds and she even started watching action movies on his phone or sotis on his laptop. Other tis, without her knowing, he’d take a video of her and send it to Dr. Simbajon for dical viewpoint of observation.
Stefan was really happy with her ntal health developnt. He never wanted his wife to be edgy all the ti. Thankfully, Cayenne has strong will and great adaptation ability.
“By the way, I have a surprise for you tomorrow.” Stefan stated while reading the ssage that Artemis sent him last ti. She was asking permission to et with Cayenne because the Rule couple wanted to see her. Truth be told, he didn’t want Cayenne to et anyone from the Rule family again but since the couple didn’t really do anything to hurt her, he agreed to Artemis.
Suddenly, sothing clicked in her mind when he talked about a surprise. She wasn’t sure if it has any connection to what she thought but she rembered him having a call with Artemis few weeks ago.
“Is this about Elia?” Cayenne asked because she recalled that Artemis called due to Elia’s involvent in looking for her relatives. “Is she coming to see us with the Rules?”
She had a smile on her face when she asked these questions but she noticed that Stefan stiffened and has grown pale. Her smile faded and her lips trembled when she spoke. “Sothing happened to her?”
