Chapter 450 - TALK ABOUT DREAMS [Bonus ]

The next day, Stefan woke up earlier than Cayenne. There was a faint smile on his lips while staring into space. Several deep embedded thorns have been lifted from his heart. He can finally breathe with no hindrance and he felt even more alive after that dream. He got off the bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face, having the urge to cook for his wife this time.

He wasn't sure if it was his older brother's soul showing up in his dream or it was just his subconscious making things up but as long as it wasn't the bloody puddle, he was satisfied with his dream.

Cayenne stirred in her sleep and moved closer to where her husband should be sleeping but her hand touched an empty place. She opened up her eyes in an instant and looked around.

Stefan heard the faint but quick steps from the bedroom so, he looked outside the bathroom only to see Cayenne's flustered and panic-stricken face. This was really a shock to him. Usually, she gets up early and go downstairs to make breakfast for them. Recently, she would even leave him alone in their room. Seeing her expression was really surprising for Stefan.

"Wifey, I'm here." Stefan called for her attention because she was about to go out of their room. "Are you alright?"

Cayenne found him standing at the door of the bathroom, holding a toothbrush in his hand. She immediately calmed her face and smiled at him. "I'm fine. I was…I was just…I was wondering where you went to."

Stefan tilted his head and wanted to probe but he decided to let it go this time. "Do you still want to go back to sleep or do you want to brush your teeth and make breakfast with me?"

"If I go to sleep again, will you stay beside me?"

"Sure. Let me just finish this."  Stefan went back inside the bathroom and brushed his teeth quickly. It's not always that Cayenne shows her clingy side. He would indulge her no matter what she wants. He came out of the bathroom and instead of going to the kitchen, he came back to the bedroom to accompany her to sleep. "What time do you want to leave today and visit the children?"

"Tell Justin that we can leave by nine in the morning. It's still seven in the morning so, give me another hour of sleep, okay?"

"Okay." Cayenne nuzzled closer to him and clutched on his shirt. Stefan knew that something's wrong with her but she didn't want to say it. "Darling, I dreamed of my brother last night but it wasn't a bad dream."

"I dreamed of your mother, too." Cayenne whispered.

"My mom?" This was another surprise to Stefan early in the morning. "How did you even dream of her? I mean you've never met her so, it was kind of surprising to me."

Cayenne didn't want to sleep anymore and just cuddle with him. "That's why I was so bothered by it. It's true that I didn't have the chance to meet her but I've seen her pictures, heard her story and I have visited her grave. My brain just conjured things up and I don't like it."

"What exactly happened in your dream?"

"Your mother said she missed you and took you away while I was busy. And when I woke up, you weren't here beside me. I thought it really happened."

Stefan covered his mouth while stopping his faint laughter from coming out. He didn't want to laugh at her for being silly but her expression was really funny.

"Honey, no one will take me away. It's more possible that someone will take you away from me than me being taken away from you."

"How could that be? Anyone who will take me away will suffer losses. I don't think anyone in their right mind would do that." But she didn't know that someone was really coveting her. "How about you, what was your dream all about?"

"It's not much. I just saw my brother back in the villa, playing with our toys and saying some important stuff to me. Then, he left."

The two of them looked at each other and after few seconds they both burst into a hefty laughter. Both being overwhelmed with their dreams and now, they're just being silly.

"I'm not sleepy anymore." Cayenne mentioned and kissed his chin.

"More likely, you're not afraid anymore."

"That's another thing, too." Cayenne nodded her head and got off the bed. "I'll just brush my teeth. Wait for me."

Stefan watched her walked to the bathroom and he couldn't help shaking his head. She's really quick to flip her mood. Thankfully, he quickly found out the sudden change of her mood. Well, it's not surprising for him to notice it. After all, he's been observing his wife for a long, long time now.

Cayenne brushed her teeth and washed her face as quick as possible. She didn't put anything on her face since they'll be going to the kitchen.

A sudden idea popped in her mind and she smiled while watching her husband who was busy with his phone, probably due to work again. She giggled with her thoughts but when Stefan looked at her, she only smiled. 'Hmp! You keep teasing me. Just wait for me to have my revenge. I will make sure to record it and show it to the world.'

Stefan had no idea that his wife was already planning to make him pay for all the teasing he did. Though, even if he knows, he will welcome her with open arms. After all, he can strike back at her as well.

The two of them went down and saw Jonas having coffee in the living room while reading some news. "This is for you." Jonas handed Cayenne a small white envelope but there was no name of the sender.

Cayenne frowned but she brought the letter to the kitchen anyway. "Who do you think sent me this?"
