She's My Sleeping Pill-Chapter 849: CAYENNE WAS HAPPY BECAUSE OF ANOTHER MAN

The funeral lasted for three days since some of the Dumrique business partners overseas wanted to come and be there before Magnus got buried. Cayenne already planned this ahead of time to make sure that everyone will be able to send her father-in-law in peace.

During the three days of the funeral service, Celestine didn't get a word from her father. It's either he would speak to Cayenne or Stefan. Sometimes, he would talk to other people, but he never included her. It was obvious that she was an outcast and many people had seen this treatment, too.

During the burial, a media company provided live coverage using a drone to show how grand the ceremony was. His remains were buried in Platinum Haven Memorial Park, one of the most expensive cemeteries in the whole country. In fact, it was also known as a millionaire's row since most buried bodies there were from prominent families or well-known businessmen.

Stefan didn't want to expose his children to that kind of place from a very young age. Thus, Luiz and Kyle stayed back along with Reuben and Ingrid. Of course, the number of bodyguards was doubled because of the triplets.

After the burial ceremony, people slowly dispersed as they bid farewell to Stefan and Ferdinand. Others didn't even dare talk to Celestine, afraid that Stefan or Ferdinand would take it against them.

Celestine finally approached her father again with Julia. No matter how much she tried to harden her heart, she still felt the pain from being tossed aside and ignored. "Dad, until when are you going to ignore me? Am I really invisible to you? Am I, not your daughter? Why are you treating me this way?"

"Grandpa, why aren't you taking us back? Mommy was proven innocent of that crime already. Why are you still ignoring us?"

Ferdinand closed his eyes to suppress the anger he felt toward his daughter. As a father, he was also hurt knowing that his daughter had become so malicious, so evil. He never meant for her to grow up like this.

"Celestine, I know you were innocent of that embezzlement crime, and I sent you to Italy for another reason. I guess you never listened to me out of disappointment to me as your father or probably your anger was so deep you didn't hear my words when I asked you to leave."

"What are you talking about Dad?"

"It's up to you to remember it. I don't have so much time left in this world, but I hope you won't be too late to remember it."

Giving them a slight nod, Cayenne pushed the wheelchair that Ferdinand was using and left the cemetery along with her husband and the bodyguards.

Since Ferdinand would be all alone in the villa now, Stefan and Cayenne decided to let him stay in the mansion with them. At least, he would be able to spend time with his grandchildren and avoid stressing himself with so much worry. Dr. Albert will be there to check on him from time to time as well.

Two days later, Cayenne went back to work, though she was only allowed to work at home. She communicated with Jackson about the things that they must work on as well as the pending charity events that got canceled because of what happened to Magnus.

"Miss Yen, I was checking your schedule for this month, and it seemed like you don't have any appointments for next week. If I can finish my workload before the weekend, can I take three days off next week? I wanted to go somewhere with a special someone."

"Oh, sure! Looks like you've got a girlfriend already, huh."

"No, Miss Yen, she is not my girlfriend. She's like a dear sister to me. I have no romantic feelings for her at all."

"Alright. If that is how you feel. Anyway, as long as you finish your work, I don't mind you taking some time off."

"Thank you, Miss Yen. Though, if something occurs, please let me know as soon as possible. I don't really mind."

After almost two hours of a video meeting with her secretary, Cayenne put down her pen and turned off her laptop camera. She stood up to stretch her legs and arms from sitting for a long time because of her work. [Jackson is a lot different compared to how he was.

He was like a Pokémon who went through various stages of evolution.] Thinking about it, Cayenne couldn't stop smiling at her silly idea of comparison.

"Wifey, why are you smiling like a silly cat?" Stefan asked when he noticed that she was smiling while stretching her arms.

"Jackson."

"Jackson? Jackson Mondejar, your secretary? Why are you smiling because of another - "

"Hephephep! Don't even finish those words. You don't have to be jealous, alright? He didn't do anything to make me smile, it was more like my imagination of him made me smile."

"Why were you imagining him?"

Cayenne felt like smacking her face right now. She just gave herself another problem. "Well, I had a meeting with him earlier, right?" Cayenne started her explanation while walking toward her husband. "I just thought that Jackson had improved so much compared to the first time that we met him."

"And what was funny about that?"

"I compared him to a Pokémon."

"A Pokémon? Seriously? What kind of Pokémon?"

"Nothing in particular. I just thought that he was like a Pokémon that went through different stages of evolution. From the nerd who got bullied easily, to a man who tried his hardest to live and prove he was doing fine, and to the Jackson right now who's full of confidence in his work, and someone who starts to hang out with his colleagues now."

"Hmm, now that you mentioned it, I saw him having lunch with his colleagues a few times. Kyle was there, too."

"As his employer, I am happy that he is improving."

"Do you think it's because of the accident? I mean, he changed a lot after the accident, right?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Well, I don't mind if the accident changed him to become a better version of himself."

"But didn't you find it weird? Until now, I am actually puzzled with what happened." Stefan started thinking about the accident that almost killed Jackson several months ago. Due to Cayenne's pregnancy, he wasn't able to pay attention to it personally, but he asked Tristan and Elena to take care of everything.

He was really shocked when the couple told him that Jackson was alive and was making a fuss because he wanted to leave the hospital and go home. At some point, he feared that it would tarnish his wife's name since Jackson worked for her.

[Should I ask Tristan to look into his medical record again? What if there are some risks with his new personality now?]
