"I am not happy to see you." Erwin commented as he ushered her inside the living room with Cayenne. Before Sabrina could respond to him, he already vanished to the kitchen in order to prepare some refreshments.
"Hi Sabrina." Cayenne greeted her with a humble smile on her lips. "It's really unexpected to see you here. When did you arrive?"
"About two weeks ago." Sabrina answered while giving Cayenne a hug. "I'm going back to Italy tonight so I'm just dropping by to see how you guys are doing."
Stefan was currently sending messages with Chris and was a little bit surprise to see Sabrina inside their house. "What a surprise?!"
"I'm surprise that you're living off of your wife as well." Sabrina taunted Stefan but he only smiled proudly that he's marrying off to his wife's family. "It's good to see that both of you are doing well."
"How about you? What makes you come back to the country?" Stefan asked her while waiting for Erwin to give some refreshments.
"I wanted to take a break and meet with my friends here. I'm going back tonight, though."
"So soon?" Stefan questioned. "You didn't run away from home, did you?"
"Of course, not. My parents are aware that I am here." Sabrina looked towards the kitchen and waited for Erwin to come out but the man seemed to have no plan of showing himself in front of her. "That man who opened the gate earlier, is he your butler here?"
"Erwin? Well, he's kind of our butler but he's a direct employee of Cayenne's dad."
"Oh. He seems to be holding a grudge against me."
"I want to ask something regarding that." Cayenne stated which got Stefan's attention as well. "Have you guys met before? Erwin seems to know you."
Sabrina didn't say anything, not wanting to share the first meeting that she and Erwin had. After almost ten minutes, Erwin came out with a tray of refreshments and he placed it on the coffee table.
"You didn't put poison in my drinks, did you?" Sabrina asked while picking up the glass of juice.
"I'm not like you." Erwin replied before turning around to go back to the kitchen. Seeing that she's having fun talking to Cayenne and Stefan, he didn't immediately come out once again. He just stayed in the kitchen, sulking as he remembered having the little stuff toy snatched away from him.
It was still ten in the morning. They should be able to do a lot of things before lunch came but since there was a visitor, Erwin was told to start preparing for lunch. Obviously, Sabrina will be having lunch with them.
Since he couldn't really do anything about it, Erwin just focused himself in cooking for lunch.
"Are you alright?" Cayenne asked when one moment when she came to the kitchen to check on him. Seeing that it was his young miss, Erwin just nodded his head without saying anything. "Are you upset that she's staying for lunch?"
"Not really." He said no but in truth, he was really bothered by Sabrina's presence.
Cayenne can't really force him to open up about why he hated Sabrina so, she didn't ask him for more information. She just left him alone and went back to entertain the guest with her husband.
"Stefan, your cousin wanted me to send her regards to you by the way. She said that she's sorry for what she did last time."
"If sorry can fix everything, why are we needing the police force?" Stefan retorted, still angry with Julia. "Don't say anything about her anymore. If you want to visit us, you can do so but you don't have to be someone's messenger."
"But Stefan, she's your cousin. Can you bear to see how –"
"Ayen is my wife and she knew it. I introduced her prior to the event. But what did she do? Just because I've been good to her before doesn't I'll be good for the rest of our life. I have a bottom line and she crossed." Stefan angrily retorted. "Let's not talk about her. I don't want to ruin my mood."
"What are you guys talking about?" Cayenne asked when she noticed that Stefan was fuming in anger. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Stefan snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her to sit close to him. "I just remembered something that upsets me. I'm fine now."
The three of them talked about another topic while waiting for lunch to be served.
When it was lunch time, Erwin didn't join them. He still felt a bit irritated whenever he saw Sabrina with them.
"Young miss, I'll have my hair cut done now. Just leave the dishes in the sink. I'll take care of them when I get back."
"You're not eating lunch with us?" Stefan asked him while giving Sabrina a side- eye.
Erwin grabbed the keys on the counter as he nodded his head. "I'll be eating lunch with friends. Got to go now."
Watching him leave the house, both Cayenne and Stefan looked towards Sabrina. They wouldn't believe that there wasn't an enmity between her and Erwin. Why else would he try to avoid her this much?
"So, what exactly happen between you and Erwin?" Stefan asked while pulling a chair for his wife. "As far as we know, you are the first person that he hates."
"Sure?!" Sabrina asked in surprise. "Should I be happy that I took the number one spot on his most hated person list?"
"Well, if you don't want to say anything, it's fine. Anyway, you're leaving for Italy soon." Stefan added.
The three of them ate their lunch while talking over some stuff. Sabrina also avoided bringing in Julia to their conversation in order to maintain peace and order with Stefan. She didn't want to anger him once again.
And because she's eating with them, she was stuffed with lots of love from them. Stefan was very attentive with Cayenne's food and every time her plate became empty, he'd reach out for her favorite dishes and place some on her plate.
"I can understand why your butler left. He must be tired of seeing you lovey-dovey in front of him."
"Don't pretend that you don't know you're at fault for making him leave." Stefan responded which made Sabrina stuck her tongue out like a child.
