She's My Sleeping Pill

The triplets may not understand what was going on or why everyone was having fun, but Cayenne was very happy to see that her guests were having a blast.

Her vlogging account has become a memory bank for her now. All sorts of videos were uploaded there and that goes without saying includes the party for the triplets.

MC: I know you guys are having so much fun teasing our participants during the games, but don't laugh too hard, you may be the next person I pick to play the game.

"Noooooo, don' wanna," Luiz responded and even made face as if he was really against the idea.

Well, partially, he wasn't happy about it because he can't participate with Clarisse. It was no fun being paired with someone else.

MC: It's okay. Miss Yen said you can't be included for reputation purposes.

Luiz: 😑

As he was contemplating the difficulty of having a love life, others jeered at him. It was really a jab on him.

MC: Anyway, let's take a pause from all the games as you are all enjoying your food and drinks. This time, let us all see what gifts do we have for the triplets. Miss Yen and Sir Stefan, can you come over and open some of the gifts?

"Sure," Cayenne answered excitedly as she pulled her husband to the table of gifts. "Who doesn't get excited to open gifts? It may not be for me, but I'd like to see what my kids got."

"Material things aren't really important. It's the thought that counts," Stefan added nonchalantly but he was really hoping for something.

"Don't worry Stefan, we got your back!" Riley yelled in response which got everyone laughing knowingly.

"Then, let's open your gifts first," Stefan said and started looking for Riley's gift but there was a pile of them on the table, he didn't know where to start looking. "Never mind. Let's see what we can pick first."

MC: Let's start with the small ones.

"I'm wondering what could fit such small boxes, too" Cayenne said as she picked a small gift box next to her. "This is from my Dad," she muttered and a feeling of deja vu enveloped her.

She instantly looked up and narrowed her eyes at Reuben who looked away and started feeding his wife. "You're not giving them a key to a sports car, right?"

"Of course, not. That could wait until they're 18," Reuben answered and crossed his arms.

Cayenne was still adamant to open it.

"C'mon Yen. Let us all see what Mr. Montefalco got for his grandchildren," David said in anticipation. He wants to see how the family competes for favoritism with the triplets.

After a full minute of hesitation, Cayenne finally untied the ribbon and lifted the box cover.

The anticipation and wariness were gone, and she was left with helplessness.

Inside the box were two car keys and a playhouse key.

Before Cayenne could say anything about the gifts, Reuben prattled, "The car keys are for children's toy cars that they can drive for practice. Rest assured, they'll be fine. I had someone install a seatbelt for it as well. The playhouse can be transferred by a moving truck. I'll have someone deliver it. I'm sure the kids will love it."

"If you say so. Thanks, dad."

What else can she say? She can't be ungrateful and choosy. It has happened already.

"Next, let's have the gift from grandpa," Stefan said and picked the small box from Ferdinand. "You open it," he added and gave it to his wife.

Cayenne opened it without further ado and found three jade bracelets inside the box. She remembered seeing it in an auction and thought they were really beautiful, and would suit her children best.

However, when she heard the starting price of $500,000 USD, she lost interest in it. She didn't want to spend so much money on three pieces of jewelries, even if they were for her children.

Who would've thought that they would still end up in the hands of her triplets?

She remembered clearly that these pieces of jade were sold of $1.7 Million USD.

"The Old Patriarch of the Dumrique household has won," Travis commented before taking a sip of his wine.

"Is that what I think it is?" asked Monet when she caught a glimpse of the gift.

"He's trying his best to mend their relationship thru the kids - a smart move," Thomas added.

With gaping mouth, Cayenne thought of buying a safety vault for several gifts that she has including the ones that her children received today.

"Thank you, grandpa" Stefan expressed and Ferdinand smiled happily. It wad the first time that Stefan thanked him sincerely.

Later on, this birthday party will become the talk of the town because of the gifts that the kids received, but that is a story for later.

They continued to open gifts and this time Cayenne picked up the one from David and Kai.

"Finally, I got something normal," Cayenne stated and pulled out three sets of clothes.

"I designed them myself," David said which wiped the smile on Cayenne's face. "Once they've grown out of it, you can auction it for a cause. See? I thought of dual purpose."

"Yeah. Thank you," Cayenne responded and felt that she didn't want a birthday like this. Her children can't appreciate the gifts yet. There was no point in giving them expensive stuff. Stay connected via m-v l|e'-NovelBin.net

"I promise I didn't bring anything more than $500," Luna said when she saw her friend's expression.

"I got them three shirts on discounts," Kath added.

"I made a painting of the triplets," Jackie stated with a faint smile on her face. She could totally understand Cayenne's dilemma.

If you give something valuable to someone who grew up from a poor family, she will be happy but she would also feel a lot of pressure to repay the person with the same value as the gift.

After opening ten gifts, with seven of them being so expensive that she couldn't seem to just put it back on the table, worried that they'd be damaged; Cayenne finally had to give a disclaimer statement for everyone who might watch her video in the next few days.

It wasn't her intention to show off.
