Chapter 204 - PARTY II

Instead of wearing a suit, Stefan was wearing a shirt and an apron. He wanted to buy medicine for her but he knew that it wasn't advisable to let her drink medicine every time this happens. Her body will be too dependent on it and it would cause her more harm in the future.

He could only resort to natural way of easing her pain. While boiling water, he was also slicing some ginger into thin pieces. When the water was boiled, he poured some to the warm pack that Cayenne always use every time she gets menstrual cramps. He gave it to her first before going back to the kitchen to continue making the ginger soup for her.

"Is Yen having menstrual cramps again?" Kyle asked Stefan when he saw him in the kitchen. He was tasked to cook for dinner which was why he came out.

Stefan looked worried when he nodded his head. "Does this happen to her every month?"

"Hn. Not a month had been skipped." Kyle responded. "When this happens before she will just buy some medicine to ease the pain."

Stefan sighed while putting the ginger inside the casserole. "I never noticed it before. I'm so insensitive."

"You are not insensitive." Kyle responded to him and gave his back a gentle pat. "My sister chose not to show it to you. Probably, she didn't want to rely on to you before."

"That maybe true." Stefan commented. 'After all, we weren't really in a relationship before so, I guess she's got reason's why she didn't want to impose on me.'

"Don't think too much about it." Kyle looked into the soup that Stefan made. "You searched this up?"

"Yeah. I don't have any idea how to handle this kind of situation but most people say that this is good."

"Yen, will be happy." He turned to Stefan and looked him up and down. "You're still going somewhere, right? Just go and leave Yen to us."

"No, I'll stay with her."

"Don't. She'll feel guilty if you do that." Kyle told him. "Just do what you have to do. In any case, we're all here for her. Don't worry."

"O-okay. I'll go and talk to her first." Stefan walked back inside Cayenne's room and found her lying on the bed with her legs up and pressing the warm compress few inches below her navel. "Are you alright?" he sat on the space beside her and caressed her cheek.

"Hn. I'm feeling better. Why don't you just go and attend the party? I'm not going there anyway so, you can just leave me here."

"I feel guilty for leaving you like this." Stefan wiped her forehead with face towel once again. "You look pale."

"I'll be fine. You cooked some soup for me, right?" Stefan nodded. "Then, that's a lot better. I'll drink it later. Just come back as soon as the party's over."

"Are you sure?"

"Yup. I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Stefan slightly nod his head and stood up once again to change his clothes. He grabbed his keys and walked out of the room. Not five seconds after he closed the door, he opened it again and strode inside. "I'll be right back." He kissed Cayenne's left and this time, he really left for the party.

Kyle placed the ginger soup that Stefan made inside a small bowl and brought it to his sister's room. "Stefan made this. Can you sit up?"

"Hn. I'll drink this up once it cools down a little."

"Okay. I'll just prepare our dinner." Cayenne nodded her head and Kyle left her alone. She stared at her white ceiling and blinked her tears away. Ever since she hit puberty, ever since she had her first menstrual period, nobody really cared for her this way. Her mother was always busy working for them to survive. Her brothers were still young. She had to endure the pain every single time she experienced her menstrual cramps. When her teacher found out, they will just give her medicine even though it's harmful for the body to be dependent on it.

Stefan was the first person to care for her this way and she couldn't stop her heart from falling deeper for him.

She sat on her bed and leaned her back on the headboard with a pillow to cushion her. She picked the bowl and the spoon, scooped some of the soup with her spoon, blew it off and drank it. Her tears cannot be kept anymore. She cried while drinking the soup and some of her tears fell on the soup as well. But she didn't care.

Meanwhile…

Stefan arrived to the Dumrique's family villa and got inside. The party has started when he arrived but it didn't matter to him. His father introduced him to the crowd and his presence was warmly welcomed by the people. They raise their wine glasses for a toast with him and many people came to him for a chat as well.

When Jillyanna saw him, she kept looking around to find Cayenne. "Where's Yenyen? Isn't she with you?"

"No. She didn't want to attend this kind of gathering and she's also having menstrual cramps. If this party isn't made for me, I won't even attend this." Stefan replied without lowering his voice.

When people heard his statement, some of the women who came showed concern and told him what to do in this type of situation. And Stefan knew that they're all doing this to curry favor. Nonetheless, as long as their suggestion can help his wife, he wouldn't mind them sucking up to him.

Jillyanna pouted and looked a bit dejected. "I want to go home now."

"Ah? Why?" Stefan asked in surprise. "The party is not even halfway yet."

Travis chuckled when upon seeing his wife acting this way. "She came to see Cayenne but since she's not here, my wife no longer wants to stay."

"I'll visit you guys next time and I'll bring Cayenne with me."

"You better keep your promise." Jillyanna stood up and held her husband's hand. "We're going ahead. And make sure to take care of her."

Stefan saw them out to their car before going back to the venue. He told his father that he'd be staying for an hour only because his wife. For some men, they thought that Stefan has no pride at all for lowering himself into a wife slave. But for women, they were hoping that their partner would be like Stefan, a man who didn't focus on making money alone but someone who really cares for his beloved girlfriend.

Cole had been telling his brother to stop going after Cayenne but right now, Arthur was looking through his plans once again. 'When will I get the chance to get her? Cayenne can only be mine. I won't let anyone have her.' His twisted smile appeared on his lips as he printed a kiss on Cayenne's picture. 'I love you, Yen.'
