Chapter 368 - BRINGING BACK HIS FAMILY IV

After hugging them and crying in happiness, Stefan led his grandparents to sit on the worn-out sofa. He didn\'t care about it and just sat beside them. Cayenne also sat beside him.

"I came here with my wife, by the way." Stefan told them and finally introduced Cayenne to them. "Her name is Cayenne. She\'s very kind and very warm person. We already registered our marriage but we haven\'t held our wedding yet." Stefan turned to Cayenne and smiled at her. "Honey, I finally found my family."

"Hn. I\'m so happy for you." Cayenne also smiled, controlling herself to hold back her tears. She looked at them and smiled sweetly. "Nice to meet you all. I\'m so happy that Stefan has found you."

"We\'re also happy to meet you." His grandfather replied. "We had no idea that you\'d come today. Is that the reason why Dom left this afternoon?"

"Hn. We meet during his trip to Lipa. Actually, I was the one who volunteered to bring them there and I didn\'t know him at first. Thankfully, I sat and talked with him and his friends. That\'s how I got to know him."

"It\'s fate. It\'s fate." His grandfather stated.

"Grandpa, why didn\'t you come and see me? You knew me all along while I didn\'t know anything about all of you. If I didn\'t come and find you, won\'t you ever come and find me?" Stefan asked these heart-breaking questions which made her heart sank deeply.

"Sorry, Stefan. We didn\'t want to disturb your life and we didn\'t want you to know that you\'re a son of a mistress. We thought you\'re having a good life already so, we never had any intention to see you again."

"Did you really think I was having a good life? Grandpa, I wasn\'t leading a good life at all. No one cares for me. Everyone ignores me like an eyesore. I even ran away from home when I was thirteen and nobody looked for me. I studied on my own, depending on strangers for help. I went to college with scholarships and thankfully, I made friends with people who was willing to help me without asking anything in return. Grandpa, I knew you allowed me to be adopted because you thought I\'d live happily with them but I really think you should have just held on to me."

"I\'m sorry. I\'m sorry for letting them take you away." His grandfather looked so heartbroken with what they just found out. This was just a tip of the iceberg for what Stefan was gone through. They didn\'t everything at all.

Now that they\'re sitting and was talking properly, Cayenne was able to observed the house properly. It was only made of light materials like plywood and other stuff. There was no ceiling and you can directly see the roof right over your head. There were only two room inside the house, a small living room and a small kitchen. There wasn\'t much furniture inside aside from the old sofa and old drawers. There was no TV or any other appliances.

They talked for almost two hours and it wasn\'t until Cayenne\'s stomach grumbled did they realize that they haven\'t eaten yet. Stefan smiled apologetically at her and held her hand.

"Why don\'t we chat over dinner? I don\'t want my wife to get a stomach ache."

"Sure. Let me just arranged the dishes." His Uncle Stanley stated and gestured to Dominic to come and help him. The father and son worked together in the kitchen to prepare the food that Stefan brought.

As soon as dinner\'s ready, they all went around the small table and sat together for dinner. Cayenne didn\'t care where she was and just ate heartily beside Stefan. She was just about to put food in her mouth when she smelled something in the air. "I don\'t intend to be rude but, did you cook fish for your dinner?"

Stanley stiffened and thought that Cayenne might not like the smell at the kitchen but he still nodded to answer her honestly. "I cooked fried fish for dinner earlier."

"Really?! Uhm…uh… Can I have some?"

"Ah? Ah. Sure." Stanley stood up and went to get the fried fishes that he placed on the side. He placed it beside Cayenne and she took one happily and placed it on her plate.

Stanley and his father Jose, was looking at Cayenne with surprised faces. Dominic was eating without any reaction since he knew what Cayenne\'s life was before marrying Stefan. As for their grandmother, Cory, she just smiled at the direction where Cayenne was sitting even though she couldn\'t really see her.

"This is delicious." Cayenne commented while putting food in her mouth. She chewed on her food and swallowed it before talking once again. "It\'s been a while since I ate fried fish."

"Oh." Stanley just made a perfunctory remark.

"Then, just ate them happily. Don\'t worry about us." Jose told Cayenne and because of his encouragement, Cayenne ate all the fishes that they cooked.

Stefan was just watching his wife with a smile on his face. From time to time, he\'d place rice on her plate and some other dishes as well. In the end, she ate a lot that night. She\'s always been a glutton and Stefan knew that.

"Do you still have space for dessert?" he asked Cayenne who was wiping her face with a tissue beside him. "I bought red velvet cake."

"Yay! Sweets. I still have space for desserts." Cayenne nodded with stars sparkling in her eyes.

Watching them, Jose was happy that his grandson found a good woman to become his wife. Stanley was the same. If his sister didn\'t find a good person to become her partner, it was still a good karma that her son found a good wife.

They continued to chat while eating the cake that Stefan bought and they found lots of things about each other. It was really a happy reunion for him and his maternal family.

When the clock struck ten in the evening, they bid farewell to them since they still needed to go back to the city. "I will come back tomorrow morning and don\'t bother to make breakfast. I will buy our food so we can have another meal together."

"O-okay." It was his uncle who answered since his grandma and grandpa needed to take a rest now. "You both take care on the road. Drive safely."

"Yes, uncle."

Cayenne also smiled and waved her hands at them. "Bye Uncle Stan. Bye Dom. We\'ll see you tomorrow."
