Madeline's POV
"Madeline, Mr. Divenson, it is a surprise to see you here!" Lydia exclaimed the moment she saw us walked inside the restaurant.
"Hello, Lydia, I want to surprise Madeline because she is craving for your menus, and I can't deny her since she is pregnant." My husband proudly said, and I can see the happiness on Lydia's face.
"Wow! Congratulations, that is good news! I feel so happy for you, Mr. and Mrs. Divenson." Lydia said and can't stop myself from feeling smiling, and I felt so excited to have dinner with my husband. I can't deny I love their restaurant, not only because of its ambiance, but because of their family who have good heart, and I will never forget the kindness the Morigans bestowed upon me.
I order my favorite food usually seafoods, while my husband let me order for him as well, and I know I am having a good appetite because I am pregnant, and I can tell I eat more than Hunter could eat.
"Thank you, Hunter, for taking me here." I said to my husband and she smiled at me while he laced his fingers with mine, and I felt so happy as content at the moment.
"You know what, I still love the way you check me out, Madeline, even if you are now my wife, it still makes me feel ecstatic." My husband said when he caught me staring at him as we waited for our order, and I can feel my face blushed right away.
"Hey, don't feel shy about it, I love it, Madeline." He added as he squeezed my hand.
"I just can't help it, I can't stop looking at your handsome face." I said and my husband laughed.
"You make me happy, my sweet Madeline, you just don't realized how much you mean to me." Hunter said as he looked at my eyes with great intensity and I felt my entire body melt with his gaze, and we were starting into each other when Kydia delivered our food personally.
"I know, Hunter, and I can't measure it, and for that I am so happy to have you as my husband." I replied, and before he can answer me our food arrived. We said thanks to the waitress, and my husband helped me put food on my plate, and we eat our dinner happily, and I was so full the moment I finished eating my food, we talked more, and Lydia joined us on our table,and when Hunter excused himself to go to the restroom Lydia was smiling at me, and I suddenly miss my mom as I looked at her.
"Madeline, I am so delighted for you, and I know you are now happy with your husband because I can see it on your eyes. And now that you are pregnant you look more beautiful, and you are glowing with happiness, Maddie." She declared.
"Yeah, I am so happy, Lydia." I replied, and she beamed at me.
"I know I should not tell you about this, but I think you have all the right to know. Jack was crazy about you, Madeline, and I pity my son. But because of you he chased his dreams, and he became so successful with his restaurant at the Astikoz city. He wanted to show you that he can be somebody, and now he had been offered to have a morning show on one of the popular television networks in the country." Lydia said, and I am shocked, and I ddidn't know I was the reason why Jack opened his own restaurant in the city, and leave his mother in running their family business.
"Wow, I am flattered, and I am so happy for Jack that he will have his own cooking show, and I bet there would be a lot of women who will watch his show. Jack is handsome and very attractive, and I think he can have a celebrity girlfriend soon." I said, but Lydia shook her head.
"I doubt about that, Madeline, he can't stop thinking about you, and I know he need to fight himself, but I can't blame him, Madeline. You are the beautiful and sweet no wonder he was smitten by your beauty. " Lydia said, and I blushed and I coudn't stop myself from feeling guilty.
"I felt guilty, Jack confessed his feelings to me before I return to the Divenson mansion, and marry Hunter." I said and I can't stop myself from feeling so sad.
"Hey, don't look be sad for him, Madeline, it was his choice to love you even if you are already a married woman." Lydia said, and our conversation ceased when my husband return to his seat.
We said goodbye to Lydia, and the moment we arrived at the villa, my husband asked me to have a walk on the shore, and I felt so excited as I stroll barefoot again. It was a starry night and we wander on the coast holding hands. And the moment we get back on the house I felt hungry again.
"I want to eat an ice cream!" I blurted out and Hunter brings me to the kitchen and I can see the worries on his face after he opened the fridge, and he hadn't found an ice cream.
"My sweet, I am sorry, there is no more ice cream, I will drive to Magnolia center to buy ice cream." He said and I walked closer to him.
"Nah, it is okay, hot milk will do." I declared and I walk towards the kitchen cabinet to prepare my hot milk, but my husband beat me to it, while he asked me to sit down.
"I am only pregnant, Hunter, but I can still do the things I used to do." I said as i watched him prepare my milk.
"Just let me do this, Madeline, allow me to take care of you and our baby." He said as he handed me my glass of milk.
"Okay, if that is what makes you happy, Mr. Divenson." I said, and I can't stop myself from giggling.
"Yes, my sweet wife, I want to replace the awful memories you had for the past months, with happy ones, and I want you to rmember the beautiful moments we did together." He said, and I caressed his handsome face as I look at him on his eyes.
"Thank you." I murmured, and then I leaned down and kissed him on the lips, and it feels so nice when he kissed me back with intensity that I felt the electricity that travels on my frame.
I can't really stop myself from dozing off that while waiting for my husband as he washed the glass I fell asleep on the table, and I almost jumped when he touched my shoulder.
"I don't mean to scare you, Madeline. I am sorry, I should have carried you to the bed." He said.
"You don't need to do that I still need to change my dress." I said, and he smiled as he put his hands on my waist, and he hoisted me from my chair. And we walked to our room in silence. My husband get my nightgown and he helped me undressed my dress, and the moment my body hit the bed, I felt Hunter pulled me closer to him, and I fall asleep immediately on his arms, and I had a long beautiful sleep.
"I got so excited the following morning when I wake up, and I smiled when I found my husband is still asleep. And I tiptoed in going to the kitchen because I want to cook breakfast for him, but when I reached the kitchen someone is already cooking, and when she turned around she smiled at me.
"Hi, good morning, I am Jen, you must be Mrs. Divenson, I am the new caretaker of your vactaion home, and your husband asked me to cook for you today since you will be having guests." She said, and I smiled at her.
"Yes, I am Madeline, Hunter's wife. Thank you for coming today, and it is nice to meet you, Jen." I said.
"Nice to meet you too, Maddie." She said before she turned to face the stove as I can smell the aroma of food, and I felt hungry right away. Hunter is still sleeping when Gina arrived and I felt so happy to see her after one week of not seeing her.
"Thank you, Gina. I am so glad you came." I said.
"Madeline, I will always be there for you, unless I will go somewhere else." She said, and I can tell she is unhappy.
"Hey, are you alright?" I asked, and she smiled at me and I can tell she was trying to mask her emotion with her fake smile. She looked so cute wearing
shorts and crop top blouse.
"Of course, I am fine. I love you vacation home, Madeline, that is why I will never miss any invitations especially if coming from yiur hot husband." She declared and I can't stop myself from smiling.
My husband joined us in the dining hall as we eat our breakfast, and I wonder why Lily is not yet around. Hunter told me mom can't make it since something came up. And Tony was the one driving Lily. After we finished eating breakfast Gina asked me to go near the beach since she wanted to see the morning view of the ocean. We lay side by side on the beach chaise lounge chairs. We were happily talking when I felt my phone vibrated on my side, and when I looked at it, I have a text message from unknown number, and I suddenly felt uneasy.
"Hello, Madeline, if you want to see Lily, come and meet me within today, don't tell anyone if you want to see her alive." My eyes widened when I read the text message, and I can feel the pounding of my heart against my chest, and I felt my entire body is trembling with fear.
