Chapter 275 - My Love For Hunter

Madeline's POV

"What are you doing here?" I asked in disbelief after my husband made me feel breathless and made my lips swell from his kiss.

"Aren't you happy to see me, my dear wife?" Hunter asked as he looked at my still swollen lips and the way his eyes lingered on my lips made me want to run away with him to my room, and I could see the hurt on his face as I cupped his face.

"You can see the happiness all over my face, my dearest husband; I just couldn't believe that you will be here knowing you still have days to attend the Summit," I responded, and he took my hand.

"I couldn't wait to see you and our son, it was the longest days of my life without seeing you, my sweet, you just don't know I wanted to be with you every time I see your face on my screen, and when I heard your seductive voice I wanted to take the next flight so I can be with you, and we can make love all night long." He said in more than a whisper, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

"I felt the same way too, Hunter; I miss you every second of the day," I responded, and he smiled at me.

"I know, and I could feel it the way you kissed me back, my Madeline." He said, and his reply made me feel so giddy. I couldn't stop myself from smiling ear to ear as he brought me to the cottage; everyone greeted my husband, and he said hi to them, but I could see that his eyes zeroed on our little one, and I could see the tears of happiness on my husband's eyes as he came closer to our son.

And when my aunt handed our baby to my husband, Hunter slowly brought him closer into his chest, and he kissed our son's cheeks, and I couldn't stop my tears as well; it felt so lovely to watch my husband look at our son with full of affection on his face, and I know this child is the reminder of how much we love each other, and knowing my husband came home for us was enough to make me feel I am the luckiest girl in the world for having Hunter as my husband.

"Hey, aren't you going to eat?" My grandpa asked me when he found me gazing at my husband and son.

"I will eat together with Hunter, Grandpa," I responded, and I could see the beautiful smile on my grandfather's face.

"So sweet, Madeline, and I am happy that your husband didn't stay in Europe until the event was over, and I could tell he was different from me, and that is a good thing, he valued his family first, and I could tell he left one of the executives of the company to fill in his absence." My grandfather declared as he looked at Hunter with admiration on his face.

"And how I wished I did the same when I was in his age, and I know regrets will never do me good, but I wanted to share it with you so you will have ideas, and I don't think I need to remind your husband how to be a good father and husband because he showed me something I should have done when I still have the chance." Grandpa Hector added.

"And now Hunter reminded me of the many chances I have lost in my lifetime, and I wasn't proud during those times, I thought I had the best reasoning, and no one can stop me from doing what I want because I wanted to be the richest man in the entire country." He added.

"And I wanted everyone to acknowledge me, and I felt so proud that everyone in Neospoli, including men from other countries, wanted to meet me, but they didn't realize my only son ran away from me because he couldn't stand me, and it made me realized right now, no matter how wealthy I become, I could never bring back the time, and I could never have another chance to be with my only son." He stated, and I could see the sadness on his face, and I didn't have any idea how to make him feel better.

"Grandpa, it is never too late; you still have your chance to enjoy your time with my son and me," I said, and he smiled at me.

"Yes, Madeline, I know, and thank you so much for making this old man enjoy his remaining days on earth!" He responded, and I sat beside him, and I put my head on his shoulder; why I watch my husband look at our son with a beautiful smile on his face.

"Granpa, can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Of course, anything you want, Madeline, I will give it to you." He responded right away.

"Can you promise me that you will live longer to enjoy my days with you? That is all I ask from you?" I responded, and he was laughing so hard, and it made everyone looks at us.

"Oh, my sweet grandchild, do you know how excited I was to listen to your request? I thought you would be asking me to buy you a brand new sports car, the latest iPhone on the market, or a set of jewelry, and you are different. How can you be so simple, Madeline, when your grandpa is the richest man in this country, and I can give you anything you want." He declared.

"And you reminded me so much of your father, you don't cling to material things, and you only ask me for my time which makes me happier and grateful." He declared as he caressed my hair with his fingers.

"But what you are asking me is impossible, Madeline; I can't promise you that because I don't want you to hate me when I am in my coffin. I am already old, Maddie, but I will try my best to live longer, but we both know, we only have one life, and we don't know when we will leave this world, but I want you to know, I want to spend more time with you and see your son grows into an adult." He said as he looked at me full of fatherly love.

"Don't worry, I will try to bribe death with my richness; maybe he will grant to my request," he said, and I laughed with his joke, but I couldn't deny I felt so sad, and I couldn't stop myself from frowning, and just thinking my grandpa will be gone someday made me feel like crying.

"Hey, you don't need to be sad; I am still strong, Madeline." He said, and I smiled at him.

I ate lunch with Hunter after I breastfed our son, and Aunt Francine and Uncle Paul looked after Frank as we enjoyed our food. And I missed eating while watching the ocean before us, and this is one of my favorites, having fun with my loved ones on the beach eating our favorite food.

"Wow, this food is tasty," Hunter mumbled, and I weakly smiled as I remember Jack prepared the food, and when I looked up, Hunter was looking at Gina and Jack talking on the beach and even if their backs are on us; I could tell my best friend is blushing right now. And I couldn't wait to adobe alone with her and ask Gina about their conversations, and I felt so glad our plan worked, and I couldn't be happier thinking my best friend would end up with Jack.

"I couldn't believe grandpa would hire Jack." He said in more than a whisper.

"Are you still jealous of Jack?" I asked as I teased him, and when he looked at me, I could tell his answer right away, even if he would deny it to me.

"Yes, my dear wife and Jack were one of the reasons I came all the way here from the airport, but the way you kissed me in front of everyone a while ago made me feel so stupid for feeling that way; I know how much you love me, Madeline." He declared, and I could see him licked his fingers to clean the sauce of his grilled pork on his hand digits, and I couldn't stop from feeling so excited to be alone with my husband later tonight, and his honesty made me

I love him more.

"I hope you will not be upset with me; I promised you from now on I will be friends with Jack, and I couldn't wait to have a drink with him later tonight," He responded.

"Please don't," I mumbled, and I could see the confusion on his face.

"You don't want me to be friends with Jack?" He asked, and I smiled at him.

"Of course, I have wished for that day to come, Hunter, but please don't ask him to have a drink with you. Can't you see I am trying to be a cupid?" I asked, and his eyes widened, and my husband laughed.

"So, you wanted Jack to court Gina?" He asked, and I asked him to lower his voice, and we ended up talking in hush voices, and I couldn't stop myself from giggling when Hunter told me how to make Jack fall in love with Gina more, and it was a ridiculous idea, but I think it will work on Jack.

I knew it was based on Hunter's experience, and I never expected to talk with my husband about these things.. It was fun to find ways to make my die-hard admirer fall for my best friend, and it made me realize my husband finally let go of his insecurities as he realized I only love him in this lifetime, and even after my death, I know he will always be my one and only.
