838 BRINGING THE CHILDREN HOME II

Since it was a welcoming party, food will never be missing as part of the preparation. Some were eating, others were chatting and their conversation focused on Cayenne’s delivery and recovery. Some decided to hold the children for a bit longer.

“Let’s take this as some sort of practice,” Luna said while carefully holding the little girl in her arms. “She felt so soft and squishy. I want to pinch her face.”

“Don’t do that if you still want to hold her next time.” Cayenne reminded her because Stefan would forbid anyone from getting close to their babies if that happens. “He’s overprotective.”

“I can see that. He’s been obsessed with your protection as well.” Cayenne just laughed it off since she has no retort to that statement. Luna was just stating some facts. “Will you be taking the children to the venue of your graduation? It will be a long ceremony.”

“I haven’t discussed that with Stefan yet.”

“I bet he won’t.”

In the middle of their conversation, Jade came and held Jahzara’s pinky finger, then she left and went to Aziel just to do the same thing. Looking back at Cayenne and Luna, she grinned mischievously at them. “I am introducing myself to them. From now on, I will be their big sister.”

“My daughter is safe from your boys,” Travis told Stefan which shocked Jill who was sitting beside him with Raizel sitting on his lap. She didn’t expect him to say that.

“C’mon, my boys just came out and your dearest daughter turned 7 already. Are you out of your mind?”

.....

“Age doesn’t matter when it comes to love. Take your uncle and his new girlfriend.”

Stefan was speechless. He never even thought that far ahead for his children’s affair. “Why don’t you let Raizel mark my princess, too? Isn’t it better if she sees him as her big brother from now on?”

“No way. If my Raizel gets attached to your little Ara, even if she treats him like her big brother, something else could develop between them. That’s dangerous. I don’t want our children to be partnered. You will only torture my child if he chases after your girl.”

Everyone: [What kind of conversation is that?]

Jillyanna didn’t know what to say to these overprotective men at the moment. She didn’t even know why they suddenly talk about such a thing. For god’s sake, the children just turned 2 months old.

Meanwhile, Zeki refused to let Latticia go. When someone else tried to hold him, his face would start to crumple as if he was about to cry and when they stopped approaching him, he would stare at Latticia’s face.

Seeing this interaction, Cory couldn’t stop herself but wonder why the child was so attached to ‘Alice’ when she just came and she has no relation to anyone here except for being close to Cayenne and Stefan. Aside from that, she didn’t want to admit this but she keeps seeing the resemblance of her late daughter to this woman in front of her. f𝘳𝒆ℯ𝑤𝚎𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷el. c𝗼m

After eating, Cory walked toward ‘Alice’ with Jose following behind her holding a plate of fruits. He placed the plate on the coffee table and sat next to his wife who chose to sit close to Latticia.

“She’s pretty, isn’t she?” Cory whispered to Zeki and the child slowly shifted his gaze to the other old woman. He looked at Cory before looking back to Latticia and smiled. “Oh? Did you understand me?”

“He seems...to...understand you...ma...ma’am.”

Cayenne and Dr. Albert whipped their heads at the same time and looked at Latticia who surely made an intentional slip of the tongue. Her eyes were red but she refused to cry in front of her mother. It was obvious that she had been wanting to call Cory her mother.

Dr. Albert immediately came to the rescue and Cayenne also approached the woman to get her little boy. “My wife seems tired. Her doctor said that she can’t be too exhausted.”

“I understand. It seems that Yun likes her so much. I’ll bring him over to the cabin sometime or you can come whenever she feels better.”

“Hn. We’ll do that.”

Cory watched Latticia leave and for some reason, he wanted to stop her. She just couldn’t bring herself to do it. “Is Alice going to be alright?” Cory asked worriedly. Her heart felt that freaking painful pinprick when she saw her leave hesitantly.

“She’s going to be fine, granny. She’s a strong woman. I’m pretty sure she will do her best to recover because of the children.”

“Why?”

“Hmm...because she likes children so much. She wasn’t able to hold her own child when he was young so she was very excited when she found out that Stefan and I were expecting triplets. Maybe Zeki felt her excitement, too.”

Her excuse sounded reasonable but Stanley who witnessed everything felt sorry for his parents and his sister. They were so close to each other yet so far.

Zeki yawned softly and Cayenne excused herself to bring the child upstairs. Luna told her that Jahzara did the same thing and soon, Stefan also took Aziel from Kyle and brought him to their room.

When Luna went up while holding the little princess, she was also excited to see the children’s nursery room. She wanted to have an idea of what a nursery should look like for her children in the future. Leading them up was Stefan, followed by Cayenne and her. Each of them was holding a child.

Stefan pressed his finger on the biometrics and the door slowly opened for them to get inside. She was awestruck with what she saw and she thought – ‘Nah, I’m not having this for my children in the future. I’m not as fucking rich as him’.

The materials of the cots alone would cost her tens of thousand of dollars already. And to think that will only be used for a little over two or three years old. The flooring was double-layered as well. From the moment you set your foot inside, you will be stepping on an expensive foam that will cushion the children whenever they start crawling or practice walking and falling. The edges of the furniture inside were insulated with rubber to keep the children from harm, too.

Aside from that, to keep the children’s noise from disturbing the other residents inside the house or those who live around them, the room was sound-proofed with one exception. There were sound transmitters everywhere that connects to the master’s bedroom and that would help Stefan from hearing everything that is happening in the room. He asked someone to install cameras in the room as well and the monitor was also inside the master’s bedroom.

“How much did your husband pay for this nursery room alone?” Luna whispered her inquiry to Cayenne which the latter responded with an eye-roll.

“Don’t even ask me. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.”

“And he said he won’t spoil them, huh.”
