Chapter 682: DON’T NEED YOUR KIND OF FAMILY
Monday has co around once again and Cayenne agreed to et her relatives at noon for lunch. She chose the shortest ti possible because she didn’t want to spend so much ti with them. She hasn’t forgotten the incident of her kidnapping and she will never do. The fact that it almost ruined her relationship with Stefan would make her keep the event in mind. The ironic thing about it was that her relative were the one who kidnapped her. Although the Rule couple has nothing to do with it, she would still not associate herself with them. After all, they have not acknowledged her brothers even though Luiz and Kyle are related to them by blood as well.
“I’m eting with Mr. and Mrs. Rule,” Cayenne stated when she saw the waitress at the entrance of the restaurant where they planned to et. Stefan was walking beside her; his thumb was caressing the hand that he was holding. She wasn’t saying it but she was upset with this eting and he wanted to console her.
“It will be fine,” Stefan whispered softly and smiled. “I won’t let anything bad happen again.”
“I trust you.”
The two of them followed the waitress and they led her to a private booth where the family of four was waiting for them. Cayenne sat down without saying anything and there wasn’t any trace of joy on her face.
“Sorry for dragging you out here again. I know we talked of cutting ties and going on separate ways but our parents are so stubborn to let things go like that.” Artemis stated as soon as Cayenne sat in front of them. She didn’t forget the agreent they had with her but she couldn’t really stop Mr. and Mrs. Rule from seeing Cayenne.
“So, what’s the matter? Why do you want to see ? I think your daughters have explained everything.”
.....
The couple looked at Cayenne happily when she arrived but the mont she opened her mouth, their faces fell and they looked really sad.
Her uncle sighed and shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, “I’m really sorry for what happened to your mother and you. We don’t have any idea since we couldn’t get out of the hospital and there were no gadgets around us as well. If we knew, we would have done our best to help you like what we did to your mother.”
Cayenne only looked at the couple and then at their daughters who kept their mouths shut on the side. “Look, the past is in the past. Mother didn’t say anything about her family because she didn’t want us to look for you and I never did. It was your family who kept chasing us to co back. I don’t care about what happened in the past. As I have said, I already paid for what your daughters did to help . Athyst Nile Rule no longer exists. I’m the daughter of Erald Ardolf and Reuben Montefalco. That’s that. Let’s pretend we don’t know each other. My brothers and I were happy when we didn’t know you and we will continue to be happy.”
“Can’t we really beco family?” Mrs. Rule asked which Cayenne gave an instant answer.
“No. The family I know would never put their mbers in harm’s way. Your so-called family has abducted and wanted to marry off for personal interests. I don’t need that kind of family.”
Instead of having lunch to celebrate their reunion, Cayenne never touched the food on the table and the sa goes for Stefan. Obviously, they didn’t co to have a happy lunch with everyone.
“There’s nothing else that I want to say. Just forget about us and live your life according to how you want it.” Cayenne stood up and left the restaurant with Stefan. Since they didn’t have much ti before her next class starts, they just bought so food from a drive-thru and ate on their way to her university.
“You always encourage to reconcile with my father and grandpa, but why aren’t you doing the sa thing to your maternal relatives?”
“Your mother died because of Clara. It was never your father’s or your grandpa’s intention to hurt her. My grandpa tried to kill his daughter and tried to sell off by marriage. Although Diana and Artemis helped with my plan, they only did it because they didn’t want in their family. They never saw as one of them. How can I continue to treat them as a family when they can’t do the sa? We’re better off without them.”
Stefan nodded his head in agreent. He even had a hard ti forgiving his father and grandpa even though they weren’t directly related to his mother’s death. How could he expect Cayenne to do the sa?
In the end, the two of them continued with their lives and shoved this eting to the deepest part of their mories.
When Luiz saw Athyst at Trine Elite University, he pretended he didn’t know him. The two of them, although they knew they were cousins, never said a single word ever since the day they first t. Luiz actively engaged with his fans and sotis, he would spend his ti with Clarisse or with Jade and Ethan. He never had a boring ti on campus.
The days continued to pass by and it was among these peaceful days that Cayenne received an invitation. Ali and Luna would finally get engaged with her family’s approval which was what Luna waited for so long. Cayenne was so happy when she read the letter at ho and called Luna imdiately.
“I’m getting engaged already and I haven’t received your wedding invitation yet. When will you get married to Stefan?”
“We haven’t talked about it and I’m married to him already. I don’t need a second wedding.”
“No, girl. You have to. Did you forget that sothing marred your first wedding? You even signed the divorce papers. You have to get married again and live a happy life. I’m sure Stefan would be very happy to do that for you.”
“Nah. We’re happy without the second wedding.”
Luna rolled her eyes on the other side of the phone while soone was cleaning her fingernails. “I thought every girl wants to have a grand wedding since it’s a once-in-a-lifeti event. I can’t believe you are not one of those girls.”
Cayenne just laughed it off since she didn’t really have anything to retort to that. “Anyway, I just want to congratulate you in advance and you better prepare lots of desserts for .”
“That’s the top on my list.”
“You know best. Love you.”
Stefan’s ears perked up when Cayenne said the last two words to soone else. If it was a man, he would have turned a jar of vinegar upside-down. Thankfully, it was Luna.
Cayenne and Luna talked for a very long ti since it’s been a while that the two of them talked about their life. Knowing that it would take a long ti before they would finish, Stefan went out to get so snacks for her.
