Chapter 723: A GIFT THAT COULD TAKE HER LIFE

“Wow!” Cayenne blurted out when she saw what was happening in her front yard. There were picnic blankets laid on the ground and there was a buffet of food on the side that everyone can eat. There were wines and juice, and some hard drinks, too. She even found several of her favorite desserts. Yet, she could not remember anything special that signifies the occasion today. She thought they will just have a normal dinner with Stefan’s father and grandpa.

“What are you still gawking there? Come over here.” Magnus called out to them when he spotted Cayenne and Stefan who just got home from the university and company respectively. “Tonight’s dinner is specially arranged by dad.”

“Grandpa?” Cayenne questioned in a whisper to her husband. “Did I miss something? Is there something special about today?”

“I don’t know. They didn’t say anything to me either.”

“You better be telling the truth. If you are lying and I embarrass myself, you won’t have me for the rest of the month.” she threatened which was always effective against Stefan. Since he was someone who adores his wife so much, deducting his quality time with her would upset him so much.

“I’m being honest. I really have no idea. Let’s go and see what they’re up to.” Stefan retorted and approached his father together with Cayenne. “The place is quite boisterous. Did something good happen?”

“Ah! You guys must have forgotten what is special about today but dad and I have always kept this moment in mind.” Magnus pulled Cayenne by her elbow and helped her sit on one of the picnic blankets. “You stay here. I’ll just get something.”

.....

Stefan frowned a little, wondering what his father wanted to do. He said that it was his grandpa’s idea but he couldn’t even find him from the people around them.

Lucia approached them with a tray of refreshments and handed it to Cayenne. “Ms. Yen, sir Ferdinand said that you will surely be tired from school. He wants you to have this refreshment before the official dinner.”

“Why are they spoiling you today? What about me?”

Cayenne chuckled as she received the milkshake and fruits from Lucia. She had no idea what exactly was going on but since she was being spoiled, she will just let them be and accept this fine treatment coming from them.

“This isn’t fair.” Stefan sulked and even crossed his arms in front of her. “You got to give me half of what you have. I am tired from work, too. How can they forget me?”

“Fine. Fine. I’ll share them with you.”

Not long after, Magnus came back with Ferdinand and Cayenne’s brothers. Apparently, Stefan’s grandpa was chatting with Luiz and Kyle in the living room while resting before dinner. He was just waiting for Stefan and Cayenne to come home.

Ferdinand walked directly to Cayenne and sat on the picnic blanket as well. To her surprise, he gave him a small gift box. “My dearest daughter-in-law, this gift is for you.”

“Huh? Me? Why am I getting a gift?”

“Because today marks the 365th day of the time when you persuaded Stefan to come and talk to us. As you know, many things happened in the past and our family was in shambles. I never expected that my grandson would come to us and have a chat and it’s all thanks to you.”

“Ah? Hahaha.” Cayenne felt awkward right this moment. She only did what she thought was right and she didn’t expect anything in return. In fact, she only wished that his family wouldn’t come in between her relationship with Stefan. And yet, she received so much in return. “Grandpa, I...I was...I didn’t really do anything special. Sooner or later, even without my help, Stefan would still talk to you because you are family. There’s really no need to do this for me.”

“Hmph! I know this young man won’t. Don’t give him too much credit for what he’s worth. With his stubborn streak, I won’t expect that from him.”

“Hey! Why are you badmouthing me in front of me?” Stefan interrupted and glared at his grandfather. “I’m here, alright.”

“Why? Isn’t it true? You only talked to us because of your wife.”

Watching them argue back and forth, everyone could tell from whom Stefan inherited his stubbornness. They acted like children but you could see fondness in their eyes. It was the first time that Cayenne saw this kind of expression on her husband’s face toward his grandfather. Before, he only felt hatred against his paternal family.

After a few minutes of their banter, Ferdinand and Stefan suddenly shifted their attention back to her. “What is it? Did I do something?”

“Why don’t you open it?” Ferdinand urged while eyeing the gift in Cayenne’s hands. “I missed the opportunity to give you this but now, I am sure that I found the right time already.”

“Is this what I think it is?” Stefan questioned his grandpa with raised eyebrows. “I thought you’d give it to Julia.”

“I don’t want to open it.” Cayenne expressed after a moment of silence. Based on their conversation, she could tell that the thing inside the gift box was something very important. “I don’t think I can take this. I am not deserving of this gift.”

“How can you say that without opening it?”

“But – ”

“No buts. That is for you.” Ferdinand said which cut her words. “I will be at ease to know that this is in your hand.”

Seeing the expectant gaze on the old man’s face paired with Stefan’s mischievous grin, Cayenne finally opened the gift box which already caught everyone’s eyes. Her hands were shaking from nervousness while praying the item not be so expensive.

“That’s beautiful.”

“What stone is it made of?”

“It will surely look good on Miss Yen.”

“Sis, can I take a picture?”

“Come on and put it on.”

Despite the ruckus around her, Cayenne was speechless at the sight in front of her. She wasn’t sure if she was seeing the real thing or if she was just seeing things. She was even afraid to touch it.

“Stefan.” She muttered without moving her eyes from the jewelry. “Stefan, let’s bring your grandpa to the hospital.”

“What are you saying, you little lady?!” The old man exclaimed and knocked Cayenne’s head. “I am seriously giving this to you. How could you think I’m getting Alzheimer’s?”

“But grandpa...look...look at this.”

“I know what that is.”

“I mean, why are you giving this to me?”

“Because I want you to have it.”

Cayenne didn’t know whether she should thank the man or curse him. The jewelry was so small but it could make people target her for hold up or robbery. Her life will be in danger with this piece item alone.

When Luiz showed her what he found on the web using the picture, Cayenne almost fainted on the spot.

The jewelry she received from Ferdinand was none other than the famous fire diamond earrings because it was made from the rarest orange diamonds. Because of its rarity and purity, the value of this pair of earrings was almost $40 million. From the information she read, the item was bought by an unknown buyer. Now, she finally knew who the buyer of these beautiful jewels was.

“She can wear it to your wedding,” Ferdinand whispered to Stefan and earned a mischievous nod from him.
