Loving Madeline

Hunter's POV

"Hunter, son, you don't need to worry about Madeline and Frank Luis; I promised you nothing would happen to them while you are away." Hector Grant said while I was inside his study, and he called me to talk about the upcoming summit, but I realized he wanted to speak with me about a personal matter.

"I know, but I find it so hard to leave them, grandpa," I said, and he smiled at me.

"I still remember when my late wife gave birth to our firstborn; I was so happy when I learned she had given birth to our son, but I was miles away that time, and I couldn't be with her, and social media is not yet in during those times, I called my wife via long distance. And I remembered that was one of the happiest days of my life." He said with a beautiful smile on his face.

"But, it was also the hardest time of my career; I couldn't come home since I needed to close a deal, and all I ever wanted was to come home and be with my wife." He added.

"So, what I am telling you is, you need to attend the Summit; your son and wife will be waiting for you, and my advice, always think you will be coming home soon, and you will be united with them." He continued, and I nodded my head.

"Good luck, son, and make us proud." He said as he offered his hand to me, and I gripped his strong hand with a broad smile on my face.

"Thank you, grandpa," I responded, and together we walked out from his study. My heart swelled with happiness when I saw my wife in the living room dancing our little boy to sleep, and just thinking of leaving them gave me a pang on my chest, no matter how grandpa assured me that my wife and son would be alright.

I couldn't stop worrying about their safety because I kept thinking about what happened to Madeline during the baby shower; I know the security of this house is so tight, all the staff has been verified. They all give their words to Hector Grant that they will never betray him and his whole family.

Madeline's grandfather replaced all the hotel staff after the incident, and I felt guilty because it was all because of me, Maddie's family had nothing to do about it, and I felt so glad they never blamed me. And even if I had already assigned men to monitor all the activities of my father and Charlotte, I couldn't stop thinking that they would still harm my wife, especially now that the divorce case was over. My parents finally got divorced, and I felt so happy to have my mom and sister in the Grant castle, and their arrival made my wife so happy.

I felt so glad Madeline's family welcomed my mom and sister warmly. Lily has already processed her transfer, and she will be a student at Neospoli Academy; she couldn't wait to go to class while, in the meantime, she helped Maddie with our baby, and mom is enjoying her time in the garden most of the time.

We are eating dinner, and I couldn't be happier to see my mom and sister dining with us, and I felt glad Parker runs the Divenson Mining Corporation just fine, with the help of Calixto, and of course, by Rebecca by his side. When dinner was over, we got back to our room immediately because I wanted to be alone with my wife and son.

"Hey, what are you thinking about, Hunter? It feels like your mind is somewhere else; I have been calling you, my love." My wife said as she came closer to me, and I closed my eyes and felt her hands massage my shoulders.

"I am sorry, I am only thinking about the Summit." I lied because I couldn't tell her; I didn't want to go, but I didn't want to make her upset.

"You don't need to worry about it, my love; you attended Summit before when you were still the CEO of your father's company," Maddie said, and I held her wrist, and I pulled her with me until she was sitting on my lap. I wanted to tell her this was the reason why I didn't want to go because I wanted to be around her all the time.

"Yeah, I did, but this time it would be different because I am representing your grandfather's company," I responded, and my wife cupped my face.

"Hunter, it is still the same; you are still one of the best CEO all over the world." She declared, and I couldn't stop myself from chuckling.

"You know that is not true, my love," I said, and she looked at me in the eyes, and her solemn expression is telling me she means what she said.

"For me, as your wife and your lover, you are the number one CEO." She responded, and I couldn't stop myself from capturing my wife's sweet mouth; and we were kissing with urgency, and I quickly discarded her dress. At the same time, she helped me pull out my shirt and pants, and I took her to our bed, and we kissed each other passionately when our son cried, and we both laughed, and I helped her get up from the bed, and she took our son from the crib.

And I realized our son was hungry, and I was smiling as I watched Madeline breastfeeding our son. She looked so sexy as she caressed his face with her fingers, and I couldn't express the gratification I felt being a father to Frank Luis and husband to Madeline. And it made me realize I needed to attend the Summit and make my wife proud of me, and most of all, it is for our son's future.

I made love with my wife after she put our baby to sleep, and I cuddled her on my chest while she slept. I am one hundred percent sure I will be missing my wife like crazy, especially her touch and the way she kissed me back every time we made love, and I wish the Summit were over before it will begin, and I know I was thinking the impossible.

"Hunter! Hunter! Please wake up, my love." I heard my wife waking me up, and instead of getting up, I grabbed her closer to me, and she was giggling, and the next thing I knew, my wife was pulling me up from the bed.

"You need to wake up, or you will be late for your flight." She said while my eyes were still closed.

"I don't want to go, Maddie; I want to be here with you in our bed," I mumbled.

"We have all the time the moment you will come back home, my love," She said, and I smiled. When I opened my eyes, I saw her looking at my face, and I brought her closer to me, I embraced my wife for a long time before I dragged my feet towards the bathroom, and when I finished taking a bath, I saw my business suit on top of our bed with my necktie and socks. 

I put on my suit lazily while I was staring at my wife with our son in her arms, and I couldn't stop myself from missing them already before I could even step out of our room.

"I will miss you so much, Madeline," I whispered in her ear when I came closer to her.

"I will miss you too," She responded.

"I don't really want to go," I said in more than a whisper.

"But you need to go, my love." She said, and she slowly put back our son on his crib after I kissed his chubby cheek. He fell asleep quickly, and my wife walked me out of our room, just on time; Gina arrived, and she said her goodbye to me and wished me a happy trip before she got inside our room to look for our son, and I could tell Maddie texted her. I couldn't stop smiling when I saw mom and Lily waiting for me on the front porch together with Hector Grant.

"Enjoy your business trip, son, don't worry. We will be here for Maddie and Frank." My mom said after I kissed her cheek.

"Thank you, mom," I responded to my mother, and she gave me a sweet smile.

"Hunter, have a nice trip, and enjoy Europe!" Lily said, and I hugged her.

"I will, Lily," I responded as I released her from my embrace.

"Don't forget my presence, or else you can never get inside this castle." My sister added, and Maddie's grandpa erupted into laughter while Lily giggled.

"Take care, son, and don't worry about your wife and son; there are so many of us who will look out for them." He declared.

"Thank you, grandpa," I replied.

"And one more thing, Hunter, don't forget my present as well, or else you can never get inside the gate." He said, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing, and then when I looked at my wife, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so sad.

"Hey, I don't want to see you like that, my love; I want you to look happy, always remember one smile from you can make my entire day brighter. I love you, Hunter." She said, and I kissed my wife on the lips, and when I released her mouth, we were both panting, and I realized my mom, Lily, and grandpa had already left us, and only the driver was waiting for me to get inside the car.

"I love you too, my wife," I whispered in her ear, and it took a lot of my willpower to turn away from my wife and get inside the car, and I left the Grant castle feeling so empty for the first time, but I needed to go to make my wife proud of me, and course, for our son's future.
