She's My Sleeping Pill

Since Julia wasn't able to meet with Cayenne, she didn't stay longer than intended. She left Stefan's office while humming a song.

As soon as she left, Stefan called Leonora to ask about the dessert. The latter confirmed that she did help Julia in making it and she didn't see anything else was put into the food.

"I see. Thank you for keeping an eye on her. I was just worried that she used you which was the reason I called."

"No worries, sir. I will be your eyes and ears in this mansion," Leonora whispered to make sure that no one would hear her. Stefan helped her family a lot after he hired her to become a chef in the family villa. There was no way in hell that she would place her loyalty on someone else.

"I'll count on you for that," Stefan said before ending the call.

He continued to work until 5:00 PM and left in a hurry to go home. He almost forgot about the cake if Elena didn't remind him.

Coming home after a long day of work, and seeing his family waiting for him, Stefan felt calm and happy. Instead of getting inside through the front door, he went to the back garden and got inside through the door with a disinfectant machine installed.

In this way, he would be able to hold his kids even without taking a shower yet.

"I'm home," he said and kissed his wife on the lips. "Did the kids give you a hard time?"

Cayenne looked at the kids and the triplets stared back at her as if waiting to hear their mother's response. "No, they didn't," she said and the kids giggled before going back to their own world. Jahzara was playing with the rabbit flush toy with Aziel while the youngest stacked the shapes into a tower.

They had been playing on their own while their mother worked on the side. They never caused her problems. "It's good to know that or I would be writing another entry in my diary about their naughty behavior."

Jahzara blinked her eyes and held her brother's hand - worried. Zeki was nonchalant.

After a few minutes, Stefan picked Zeki up and read a short story to him – the financial crisis of Z Global Telecommunication. The other two were not even listening to him. They completely ignored their father and their youngest brother.

"The child won't even understand that," Cayenne said when she heard the information that Stefan read to their child.

"How do you know? I've got this feeling that Zeki is very smart."

Cayenne rolled her eyes at Stefan. The kid was not even one year old and he was telling him about the financial crisis of whatever company it was. "I still remember that we promised we won't intervene with their choices once they grow up. Zeki might not even like the idea of managing the business."

"I know and I haven't forgotten the promise we made. Don't worry, I won't ever force him to take the company if he doesn't want to do it."

After reading the financial news to Zeki, Stefan put him down and picked Aziel. The latter had a shocked expression on his face which caused Stefan to burst into a fit of laughter. He could already tell that his second child hates what he just read to Zeki.

To tease the kid even more, Stefan picked up his tablet and looked for another news. Aziel started to twist and turn in his arms. Stefan stifled his laughter while watching his son's face turning grumpy and annoyed. "Alright. Let's listen to the music. You love listening to the piano, right?"

Sure enough, when Stefan started playing Mozart's The Magic Flute, Aziel stopped moving. He looked around to find his father's tablet which was the source of the sound.

Cayenne saw her child's interest in music, but she remained quiet.

In truth, they could already see the potential of their children even when they weren't even one year old and it was something that Cayenne was very proud of. At the same time, she knew that people's interest in something would always change which was the reason that she didn't want to create a path for the children.

She wanted them to choose the path that they like and walk on it with them following behind to support them. Even when she wasn't married yet, she always kept this in her mind that she would not choose the road for her children.

As the song continued, Jahzara crawled toward Zeki and patted his right leg. He looked at his sister and gave her head a gentle pat as well.

Cayenne noticed her children's odd behavior and she took a video of them, wanting to record what the two kids were up to. Zeki pushed away the wooden blocks and other toys near him. As soon as he was done, Jahzara crawled closer and used her brother's leg as a pillow.

She slept.

Cayenne was so stunned by what she saw that she didn't move away her eyes from them. They were so cute and Zeki was such a reliable brother. He even made space for her since there were a lot of toys around them.

"I love you, baby," Cayenne said and Zeki looked at her with a faint smile. "I love you so much."

"Hon, did you forget that I am sitting right next to you?" Stefan blurted which made Aziel look toward his mother. "How could you declare your love for another man when I am right here?"

Cayenne didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her husband's words. He sounded like she was cheating on him when she was just talking to their son. "I love you, more," Cayenne told him and hearing her answer, Stefan looked at his youngest child with a smug face.

She felt helpless.

Cayenne didn't have any videos to upload into her account today, but she felt like bragging about her cute children, so she uploaded the short video without editing a single thing.

In an hour, the video went viral for two different reasons – because of her cute children and because of her childish husband whose nonsense question got recorded, too.

A lot of people commented with laughing emoticons because of Stefan.

She didn't know his voice was recorded since she directly uploaded it without thinking about anything else.

MINI THEATER

Stefan came home from work and kissed Cayenne as soon as he got inside. "Did the kids give you a hard time?" he asked and the triplets went on full alert as they looked at their mother.

Zeki: "I'm always behaving properly. I guess I don't have to worry."

Jahzara: "Mom loves me, so she won't allow Dad to scold me."

Aziel: "Did I give her a hard time earlier?"

Zeki and Jahzara: 😏

Aziel: "Oh, no."

"No, they didn't," Cayenne said and the kids giggled before going back to their own world. Jahzara was playing with the rabbit flush toy with Aziel while the youngest stacked the shapes into a tower.

Jahzara: "You are safe."

But the next thing their father said caused them another worry. "It's good to know that or I would be writing another entry in my diary about their naughty behavior."

Jahzara blinked her eyes and held her brother's hand - worried. Zeki was nonchalant.

Zeki: "Don't give our mother a headache. You know that our father loves her the most."
