Loving Madeline

Hunter's POV

I don't want to put down the phone, but I know my wife needs to sleep because it is already late in the evening in Neospoli. If Madeline is not pregnant, I will talk with her until morning, and I don't care if I don't have a sleep because I miss her so much. And I know that I miss everything about my wife, especially the way she smiles, laughs, walks, talks, and most of all, I miss the way she kisses and hugs me.

I felt so happy and excited to join my family and friends in the living room again after talking with my wife for more than two hours. I felt like I was flying in the clouds, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling from ear to ear, and I was humming as I walked through the hallways, and when I reached the stairs, I did a hilarious thing, and I could see the shocked on their faces.

They are all looking at me with stunned expressions because this is the first time I have done something like this. I am always serious with everything, and they couldn't believe I would be singing a song while I slid on the railings of the stairs, and I was laughing so hard when I reached the bottom of the stairs, and they also laughed at me, and my mom was laughing so hard while I can see her wiping her tears at the same time. It feels so exhilarating, and now that I know my wife is alive, I could see the beauty of our house once again, and it feels like everything is shining, and I couldn't explain the excitement and overwhelming happiness that I felt.

"Who wants to have ice cream?" I asked them, and they all raised their hands. And I could tell they are all looking at me with wonder, and I can say they are all wearing the same expressions on their faces that I can describe with just one word, and that is happiness. I asked them to come with me to the dining room, and I helped Cerila prepare the ice cream. And I could tell they were all watching my every move that I became conscious, but nothing could stop me from doing this because I felt so happy that Madeline was safe, and I asked them to join me in the kitchen to tell them the good news while eating ice cream.

I can't wait to tell them my wife's real identity that until now I am still unable to believe. And I know they will be so thrilled to know that Madeline is the heiress of the Grant family.

"Hunter, son, I am so delighted to see you this happy, and I couldn't be happier knowing Madeline is alive, and I could say we should celebrate, and I couldn't wait to see her." My mother said, and I could see how happy she was.

"Yeah, I couldn't wait to see Maddie again. Can we go to your villa once Madeline gets back?" Lily asked, and she was looking at me with her puppy eyes.

"I am afraid we can't," I replied, and she quickly pouted her lips, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing because even if Lily is now a young lady, she still looked so adorable every time she frowned.

"But why not?" Lily asked again, and I know my sister's personality even if she looked so mature with her age growing up. I couldn't deny she is so sweet; that is why I can't say no to her every time she asks something from me.

"Because after I will go to Neospoli, I will go back here, and then we will return to the mansion where Madeline is staying in Choraz," I said, and they all looked at me with curiosity.

"Are you telling me that Madeline doesn't want to go back here in Archois? Are Madeline and the baby, okay, Hunter?" My mom asked, and I could see the concern on her face, and I smiled at my mom.

"Don't worry, mom, they are both fine," I said, and I looked at all of them, and I realized Charlotte was not with us. I suddenly felt worried about my sister, and I could tell she felt so guilty about what happened with Madeline. I was only hoping that my sister has nothing to do about what happened to my wife because even if I have already forgiven her for what Charlotte had done before, I think this time if Charlotte is one of the people behind the kidnapping incident of Lily and blackmailing Madeline so that she will rescue my sister. I couldn't forgive Charlotte even if she were my sister. Because she almost harmed our little sister, too, she could have killed my wife and child during the fire in the boat.

And I am just glad that someone or there are people who helped my wife escape during the fire, and I couldn't wait to know the full details on how my wife's journey at sea. I know she had a tough time, and I hope everything will be fine tomorrow since she will have her pre-natal.

"And why does Madeline wants to stay in Choraz? Why can't she come home with you?" My mom asked, and I smiled at her.

"Well, because of the good news that I am going to share with you," I said, and they focused their eyes on me once again.

"What kind of good news, son? What is there to know? Could you tell us right away because the suspense is killing me?" My mom asked, and they all seconded.

"Madeline is the granddaughter of Hector Grant, the richest man in the Neospoli country, who owns the diamond mining company in Neospoli, and he has many more companies," I said. Like what I had imagined, they became speechless at once, and when they all recovered from their shock, they talked with each other at the same time.

"And it means Maddie is the heiress of Hector's Grant's empire, and that is the reason why she can't come home yet since her family on her father's side wanted to know her more," I said, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

"Wow! That is amazing, Hunter, I am so happy for Madeline, and I couldn't believe she is an heiress after all. Who could have thought that Frank came from an affluent family." My mom said, and I nodded my head.

"Yeah, I feel the same way, mom. I am so happy and excited to see her. Can I leave tomorrow, mom? I can't wait to be with her." I said, and my mother smiled as she nodded her head, and I wanted to jump on my feet.

"No need to worry, son. I will ask Calixto to go back to work as soon as possible so that I can have him as my assistant." My mom said, and I couldn't be happier, and my smile broadened when I saw Gina was crying with happiness. And how I wish, as of this very moment, my wife is with us so she can see how happy we are to know that she is alive, and we became more pleased when we knew she got the chance to know about her family on her father side.

We continued to talk, and I asked them to help me surprise my wife since I couldn't think of anything that would make her day complete. My mom advised me to order a bouquet online so my wife could receive the flowers as early as tomorrow morning. And I couldn't help myself from smiling when Lily suggested I should write a love letter for my wife, and I realized my little sister 

was correct since there is nothing that can beat the old fashion way of expressing one's love.

After eating dinner, I excused myself since I couldn't wait to write my love letter to my wife, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling when my little sister gave me a scented stationery paper. And felt so excited because tomorrow I could be with Madeline again, which is why I wanted to surprise my wife, but my anxiousness was killing me. As I write every word, I can feel my undying devotion for Madeline and how I wish my wife would realize how much I love her through my words and actions.

After I had done writing my love letter I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited about my trip tomorrow, and as I prepared my things I called Calixto, and when his phone rang I pressed the loudspeaker so I could still talk with him even if I were packing my things.

"Hello, Mr. Divenson!" Cal answered on the other line, and I could tell he felt so nervous

"Cal, I am sorry," I said.

"No, Hunter, I should be the one who will apologize to you. I know I was only trying to protect you that time from hurting yourself, but knowing you become so miserable, I wish I did the opposite since I can't stop myself from having what ifs." Cal said, and I smiled.

"You don't need to feel guilty, Cal, because everything is fine now, my wife is alive, and I hope you have already forgiven me, and I just want to say thank you for always being there for me, and I know I was being immature, and I hope you will still work for me," I said. He became speechless on the other line for a long while after he learned my wife is still alive, and I narrated everything to Cal.

"Wow, it was expected. You don't need to worry about me, Hunter. I understand why you acted that way. I know how much you love your wife, and I can't blame you for having that kind of reaction, and right now, I felt so happy that Madeline is safe." He responded.

"Me too, Cal." I started.

"I have always known that Madeline is special." Cal declared, and I smiled at him.

"Yes, indeed," I replied, and we talked some more before I ended the call. I felt so glad that things between Cal and me our now okay. Cal is my best friend, and he is like a father to me, and there is no way I will leave the country without telling him everything.. I was smiling from ear to ear as I lay on my bed, and God knows how much I wanted to pull the time so I could be with her, and I couldn't wait to be with Madeline.
