?748 GREAT NEWS

One afternoon, when Stefan came home from work, he cleaned their bedroom as well as rearranged the things inside their walk-in closet and the toiletries in the bathroom. He wanted to make sure that his wife has nothing to worry about upon coming home from the university. It’s her last year and the most crucial level for her since they would be traveling to different places and doing a lot of field study.

Holding the feather duster and well as the soft cleaning towel, Stefan made his way to the bathroom and checked their laundry basket first. Seeing that it was almost full, he brought it downstairs and placed their home clothes inside the washing machine. He preferred to handwash the ones that Cayenne use for school. In that way, he can double-check if it was properly cleaned or not.

After turning on the washing machine, he went back upstairs to continue cleaning. Their newly-hired chef was currently preparing their food for dinner and she could not stop shaking her head in disbelief and amazement. Even though she has been working for a month now in the Dumrique household, she still could not believe that a man like Stefan existed.

In the morning, he would wake up early to prepare a nutritious meal for his wife. So, their helper was only responsible for cooking breakfast for the bodyguards and the other helpers staying in the helper’s quarter. Cayenne hates calling them servants. After cooking, he would just wait for his wife to wake up on her own alarm and while waiting, he would bring the dogs out for their morning walk. By the time they return, the madam was already wide-awake waiting for them.

During lunch, the chef had not witnessed this but she heard that oftentimes, it was Stefan who would come and fetch Cayenne for lunch. Sometimes, when the madam wasn’t busy, she would go and visit Stefan at his company to join him for lunch.

It was already known among many businessmen that they should not book an appointment with Stefan during lunch or they will incur his hatred. No one should mess up his schedule dedicated to his wife.

In the afternoon, he would always stop working at 5 o’clock since he needed to travel back home and he didn’t want to get stuck in heavy traffic. As soon as he arrives and get off the car, he would check the tulips if it was watered. Taking care of Cayenne’s favorite plants was third on the priority list of house chores that helpers should do. Then, he would bring the dogs out for their later afternoon walk without changing his clothes. During this walk, he would also check the condition of the horse. After about twenty minutes, he would return to feed the dogs and change his clothes. If there are other things that he needed to do like washing their clothes or cleaning the bedroom, he would do it himself. Other than him and Cayenne, no one was allowed to get inside their room and no one tried to get in there either.

Before going to sleep, Stefan would also prepare the clothes that he and his wife will be using the next day. How did the chef know this? Well, it was because one of the helpers would always receive a call from Stefan to get the clothes from the main house and iron it.

In short, Stefan was the most responsible and the most hands-on husband she knew.

.....

Currently, this hands-on husband was sitting in the living room with a confused look on his face. He was looking at his phone while Summer kept nibbling on his toes.

“Sir, what fruit shake shall I make for the madam?” Carla, the new chef, asked politely while keeping a good distance from the dog. Although she knew the dogs won’t bite her, she was still wary because they looked fierce in front of her.

“I’m not really sure yet. I still have to sort things out before we decide what she can get. Anyway, can you chill some fruits for her? I’ll just prepare her desserts later.”

“Okay, sir.” Carla bowed her head a little and left with a smile on her face. She didn’t really mean to see it but when Stefan flipped his wrist and she happened to see what was on the screen, her heart trembled a little for their happiness.

When Cayenne got home, she found her husband sitting on the floor carpet with the dogs. “I’m home.” She announced and kissed Stefan on the lips. She was about to kiss the dogs as well but Stefan stopped her and pushed the dogs away. “Why can’t I kiss my babies?”

“We need to be careful.”

“Careful? Of what? I don’t think they have fleas and they have been getting their vaccination. What’s the matter now?”

“Let’s talk in the bedroom. I have something to ask you.”

Clueless and confused, Cayenne followed them and signaled the dogs to sit before they could follow them, too. She thought they’d be talking in their bedroom, but when she found herself standing in the middle of their huge bathroom, she grinned and stood on her toes to kiss his nose.

“It’s not lights out, yet. We can’t do it.”

“Do what?” Stefan retorted with that pretentious look on his face. Cayenne just scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest. “Fine, I planned to do that but not now. I need to know if you have been buying your sanitary pads outside.”

“Wait, what?!”

“Your sanitary pads.”

“Yeah, I heard that. I mean, why are you asking me that? Didn’t you buy a lot of stocks last time? Why would I need to get them outside?”

“Well, I am asking because of these,” Stefan opened the drawer that contained their toiletries and showed her the packs of sanitary pads “I counted them last time and that was about over a month ago. The numbers are still the same and this month is already coming to an end. Did you have your period this month? I didn’t notice.”

Processing his words, realizing what they meant, the smile on Cayenne’s face grew wider and wider until she screamed happily and jumped for joy. “You are not kidding me, right? If you are, I will really kick you out and make you sleep at the stables.”

“I’m not kidding.”

“So, I’m pregnant? No wonder I’ve been so sleepy these past few days. Shall we go and get a test kit? We can buy more for assurance or shall we go to the doctor and get checked? How long do you think – ”

“Ayen.” Stefan held her face and prompted her to look at him. “I wanted this to be true. I don’t want to disappoint you either. Instead of getting test kits, let’s go to the hospital tomorrow. Let’s keep this to ourselves first.”

“Ahh! You should have not talked to me about this tonight.”

“Why?”

“I wouldn’t be able to get a wink of sleep.”
