Loving Madeline - Chapter 272

Madeline’s POV

“Hey, do you miss your dad, Frank?” I asked our son after I breastfed him, and I know he couldn’t speak yet, but I felt excited for that day to come, and I wondered what would be the first word that would come out from his mouth, and I hope he will say mom, and couldn’t stop myself from missing my husband. It has been days that we haven’t seen each other, and it feels like years since I last kissed Hunter.

“I miss your dad too, buddy, but don’t worry, he will come home soon, and you should grow fast so we can come with him during his business trips, and I couldn’t wait to see you grow into an adult and I know you will look like your dad, and just promise me, you will not make girls cry, okay?” I asked, and it felt so funny to be talking to my infant in this manner. And I couldn’t wait for our son to grow up.

Our baby was sleeping peacefully, and I carefully put him at the center of our bed, and I sat beside him for a long time, and the waiting time was killing me because I missed my husband like crazy.

“Why do you look so sad now, Madeline? You sounded so confident when you told your husband he needed to attend the Business Summit.” I heard Gina’s voice the moment she got inside our room, and she found me holding my phone, and I weakly smiled at my best friend.

“I know I would be missing, Hunter like crazy, Gina, but do you think I will show it to him? We both know this is a very important part of his career where he can show to my grandfather that Hunter could be trusted to run my grandfather’s empire.” I declared.

“Well, I understand what you mean, but I guess Hunter doesn’t need to prove himself because he had been a good CEO of his mother’s company, and you should be proud of your husband.” She said, and I smiled at her.

“Of course, I am a proud wife, Gina, you don’t realize how happy I am right now for being his wife, and I couldn’t stop thinking about how many times you bring me to Archois hills so I could cry my heart out every time I got broken-hearted, and I wanted to thank you for never getting tired of bringing me

to that place,” I said.

“You know, I wanted to bring you back there at the right time when Frank is already big enough to come with you and enjoy the view of the hills.” She responded.

“And I think you should go back there and share your happiness to the cliff, and I don’t think that place is only for broken-hearted,” She added.

“Wow, thank you for bringing that up, Gina; I wanted to go back there and shout my love for Hunter, I want the entire hills to know I am happy and contented now, and I was able to meet the family I am longing to have for a long time, and of course, I wanted to visit my aunt,” I said, and she beamed at me.

“Okay, we will do that, but I don’t think your grandpa will allow you to leave the city of Choraz; it has been a while that you didn’t come home to Archois, and I think it is not yet safe to go back there knowing your father-in-law is still looking an opportunity to harm you, Madeline, your grandfather almost lost his life just to protect you, and I am also afraid for your safety.” She declared.

“Yeah, I know, Gin, and I am sure Hunter will never allow me to go back to Archois even with him; he was afraid that something might happen to me, especially now that we have our son,” I said.

“Well, you can’t blame your husband, Maddie, he almost lost you so many times, and I could tell he was afraid of losing you again. It wasn’t easy for all of us, and I don’t want to experience that kind of trauma, Madeline; that is why I want to ask you to be careful at all times.” My best friend said.

“Don’t worry, Gina, I survived even if for how many times Clark wanted to make me disappear,” I said, and she shook her head.

“I still believe evil will not succeed versus goodness,” I countered, and she released a heavy sigh.

“Madeline, we are talking about Clark Divenson, and he will never stop until he takes you down, and I guess it was all because of Charlotte, she was the one who feeds information to him, and that is why he hated you,” Gina said, and I agree with her.

I was on my way to take my shower, and I leaped on my feet when I heard my phone ring, and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling as I looked at my husband’s name on the screen.

“Hello, my love,” I answered with my sweetest voice.

“Oh, Madeline, I don’t know how I am

going to survive for another day hearing your voice like that, you are killing me, my wife,” Hunter said, and I couldn’t stop myself from giggling.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

“Why do you always call me when I am on my way to shower?” I asked.

“Really, well, maybe because I love you so much that I can feel it when you are about to take a bath, and right now I wanted to go home, and three days is too long for me.” My husband responded.

“I want you to come home to, Hunter, but you need to have a little sacrifice,” I replied.

“I know, Madeline, I just miss you so much, and it feels like I haven’t seen and kissed you in years,” He mumbled, and I smiled as I realized we were thinking in the same manner.

“I was thinking the same way too, but know I am going to see you soon, and I am excited,” I responded.

“Of course, I know, and I wanted to draw the days so I can be with you; how’s our little boy?” He asked, and I smiled as I looked at our son on the bed.

“Frank is already sleeping, but he told me he misses you so much,” I answered.

“I missed him too, and I love you both,” He

responded, and I felt so alone after his call ended.

“How are you doing, Madeline?” My grandpa asked me the following morning after he took my son from me, and he carried Frank on his chest as we got inside the dining hall.

“I am fine, grandpa,” I replied, and he beamed at me after he sat on his chair, and then Lily got my son from him.

“I know you are missing your husband like crazy, and you got bored being in the house for almost the entire week, and I think I should bring you somewhere today where you can relax and let us all go to one of our vacation houses.” He said, and I hesitated.

“Hey, don’t worry, I already informed your husband about it, and I told him you will be safe, and I will make sure the entire place is safe; my men cleared the area, so you better get ready after breakfast because we need to leave in two hours.” He said, and I smiled at my grandfather.

“Thank you, grandpa,” I responded.

“Madeline, I always wanted to make you happy, but after your husband attended the Business Summit, you are always in your room,” He said.

“I am sorry, I couldn’t stop myself from missing him even if we have been talking on the phone every chance he can get,” I responded.

“Of course, it is normal to miss your husband, Madeline, and don’t worry, you will get used to it,” He said.

“He attended so many business trips before during early years in our marriage, but it feels so different now that we’ve got Frank,” I replied.

“Of course, my dear, and that is because it is nice to have your partner every time you wake up to feed and change your son’s diaper.” He said, and I nodded as we continued eating our breakfast, and how I wish Hunter would join us in going to one of my grandpa’s vacation homes.

I could see the excitement of Lily and Gina as we made our way to the coaster, and grandpa told us that aunt Francine and uncle Paul would meet us there. It took almost four hours before we reached our destination, and I could see the beautiful beach house that reminded me of our Villa in Magnolia. Still, the house is bigger and more beautiful, and it was the only house I could see in the vicinity; I haven’t been here, and I know my grandpa has many vacation homes, and I could tell right away I will be missing my husband more.

The household staff was waiting for us at the house’s main entrance. They were all wearing uniforms, and my grandpa proudly introduced me to them as his only heir, and I suddenly felt worried if someone would betray us again like what happened at the Grant hotel. But my aunt told me once that my grandpa changed all his employees to all his properties, and only those who have been proven loyal to the company remain.

“Wow! I love this place, Grandpa Hector!” Lily exclaimed as she looked at the house and the beautiful landscape that surrounded the entire house; I could see the ocean from where we were, and it was a beautiful place that took my breath away, and the staff assisted all of us to get inside the house.. And I was shocked to see a familiar face amongst the staff that made my mouth hang open, and I couldn’t believe he would be here at my grandpa’s vacation home.
