Loving Madeline

Hunter's POV

I know I wanted to make my wife happy and contented. And I can tell that she looks so happy now that I am here with her. But I know there are things that she wanted to do, but she couldn't make it because I was missing for more than one month. And my mom told me that my wife suffered enough, and I want to take away all the bad feelings that she felt that made her miserable.

It made me so worried that she was unhappy for the past few days, knowing she is now pregnant with my child. My wife's sadness could affect the baby's health, so I need to make her always happy to make up the days that she wasn't feeling well, and I am aware that she was crying most of the time when I was buried alive at the mining site. That is why I was thinking of ways to make Madeline happy. And I smiled when I realized I wanted my wife to talk with her mom since I was aware Madeline loves talking with her mother every time she visited her grave.

I could see the happiness on Madeline's face as she talked with her mom in front of her grave, and I was so amused listening to her while she spoke with her mother. Even if I saw tears in her eyes, I could tell my wife was very happy, and she was so excited to tell her mother about her pregnancy, and I couldn't stop myself from grinning. We left her mom's grave with smiles on our faces, and I was holding my wife's hand as we walked back into the car. And I felt so excited to bring my wife to our next destination.

Ever since I got back from the mining site, my wife wanted to see Calixto right away, especially after learning that Cal saved my life. I know that Madeline loves Calixto, and she looked up at him as her father, and by the time she met Cal, she ran and hugged him right away. Maddie looked like a child who missed her father so much, and I felt so lucky to have Calixto in our lives. And the moment we left his house, I could tell she became worried about Calixto's condition, but I assured Madeline that Cal would be alright.

"Don't worry about Calixto, Maddie, he only needed rest and therapy, and after that, he will be back to his old self, don't worry. The doctor who will help him is an excellent doctor." I said, and she looked at me and smiled. 

I took my wife to a fancy restaurant, but she asked me if we could go to Jack's place, and I know every time she mentions Jack, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so jealous.

"Hey, I am craving for Jack's food, Hunter." My wife said, and she looked so cute when she pouted her lips, and I want to devour my wife's sweet lips if I wasn't only distracted with Jack's name. And I can't deny Jack's restaurant is among the best restaurants in the city. And I am impressed by Jack's cooking skills and his ability to run the restaurant. He became one of the famous chefs in the city, and I know my wife is always proud of him.

"Are you jealous of Jack again?" She asked, and there is no way I will tell my wife I am jealous, I have my ego, and I know my wife is in love with me, and I hate the idea that Jack is open about his feelings towards my wife. And I like Jack's attitude, and I couldn't believe the time he talked to me before I married Madeline. He was never intimidated by me, and Jack told me on my face that I was going to lose Madeline if I did not take care of her. And I know he loves my wife, and Maddie knew about it, but she only like Jack as a friend.

When my wife left our home after discovering Rebecca's pregnancy, I was so worried when I learned they were neighbors. It was one of the reasons I asked Roman to watch my wife 24/7 because I wasn't only afraid about her safety, I was also worried if she would file a divorce, and I can't deny Jack Morigan is attractive. He has a strong sex appeal, and since he is a hot chef, he attracted many women, and I was afraid if he continued to communicate, my wife would fall in love with him.

"Of course not, Madeline. I will never get jealous of Jack Morigan," I replied, and she giggled.

"Are you sure, about that my husband?" She asked, and I held her hand.

"Okay, I am sorry if I can't control myself from feeling this way. I know he cares about you, and I wouldn't say I like it, and I know it was wrong. I know he is your friend, Maddie, but I couldn't stop myself from being jealous of him." I said, and my wife laughed before she caressed my face.

"I am sorry, if I insisted on going to his place, don't worry, I will never ask you to take me there." She replied.

"Hey, it is okay, Madeline, I know you are craving Jack's food, so I need to do this for our baby," I responded, but she shook her head.

"I love you, Hunter, and I respect you as my husband, and since you are honest with me, I felt so happy. I will only go with you to the place you will feel comfortable and don't worry because I will talk to our baby that we need to look for another place since Daddy doesn't want to go there." Madeline said, and I felt guilty and so happy at the same time, and the moment Madeline mentioned the word daddy, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so satisfied, and I couldn't wait to be a dad.

"Thank you, Madeline, " I said as I took my wife's hand on my mouth, and I kissed her knuckles.

Madeline's eyes widened, and she was looking at me with confusion on her face.

"Why?" She asked.

"I love you too, and I know how much you love me, and I should never doubt your feelings for me, and I realized it is about time I have to be friends with him since he is your friend," I replied after I parked my car in front of Jack's restaurant, and the smile that I saw on my wife's face touched and warmed my heart.

"Thank you, " She replied.

"Besides, I need to do this because I don't want our baby to hate me," I said, and my wife laughed, and she kissed me on the lips, and our supposed quick kiss turned into a hot make-out, and I realized there is no reason why we will not eat at Jack's place. His food was fantastic, and I realized I should be grateful for my wife's unconditional love for me. And I already promised myself to find ways to make her happy, and I know she wanted to see Lydia and Lianne, and this is one way of making Madeline happy, dining at her friend's famous restaurant.

We had an incredible night, and our dinner was perfect, my wife met her friends, and I was happy to meet them again. I was in high spirits while driving my car, and I smiled when I found my wife sleeping in her seat. And I adjusted her head so that she would lean on my shoulder, and I slowed down my car because I didn't want her to wake up, she needed rest, and I wanted her to have all the rest that she needed. I don't want her to work, but I know she wanted to do it, and I can't say no to my wife.

The days passed too quickly, and it was time for me to go back to work again, and this time I felt so excited because I would be working with Madeline, and of course, with my mom since she wanted to help me, and I felt glad mom is with us. I didn't expect the surprise my staff prepared for me, and I couldn't believe for the first time I showed my vulnerable side with my team while my wife was standing beside me.

I let them know that I valued their hard works and dedication to the company, and I reminded them that in this life, we only live once. We should make out the best of it, and we should be thankful for the gift of life that we have since we only have one life. And we don't have any idea what will happen to us in the future, and we need to be grateful for the opportunities we have to spend time with our loved ones and enjoy the beauty of living.

I am impressed by my mom's performance. Of course, I knew my mom learned from my grandfather. I couldn't stop my heart from beating so fast the moment we got inside the board room, and I held Madeline's hand, and I introduced my wife to the board of directors, but the entire board room fell silent the moment my father and Charlotte got inside the room. And I know my father was here to ruin me. I am aware he has allies among the BOD's, but I am confident my mom will protect me. I couldn't stop my anger when my father looked at my wife wickedly, and I squeezed Madeline's hand. I am telling her through my touch that everything will be alright because I will never allow Clark Divenson to ruin my marriage and hurt my wife, especially our baby. I already have a lead about what happened at the mining site, and I will use it against my father so he will stop harassing my wife and me.
