BXBX NOVEL Chapter 268 - Cupid
Hunter's POV
"Cal, I love Madeline, and it is understated; I love her so much, and now that we have a son, I became more in love with her, Calixto, and as I stared at my wife dance as she was carrying our child in her arms made my eyes water. Yeah, after all the things we have been through, I felt so happy that now finally, we became parents." I heard my husband talking with Calixto, and I couldn't stop smiling as I felt so happy to listen to his words.
"Of course, Cal, thank you for calling; she was already sleeping. Do you know what makes me feel so happy, Cal? Frank Luis has been crying, and I smiled when the moment his mom took him into her arms, he fell silent right away, and I couldn't express in words how happy I am right now just looking at my wife and son sleeping." He added.
"I have always known that Madeline is my life, and now there is an addition, and they become the most important persons in my life. I couldn't imagine being away from them, and I couldn't believe I would be attending the International Business Summit to be held in the UK, and just thinking about it makes me feel unhappy because I don't want to be away from them, especially now that my wife gave birth to our cute little angel." He continued, and they talked more before Hunter finally ended the call.
The following night, I couldn't stop thinking about Hunter's conversation with Calixto, and I couldn't stop myself from asking him about it as I was dancing our baby boy to sleep.
"Is there anything you want to tell me, my love?" I asked as I moved closer to my husband, and he got up from bed. He took our son from me, Frank was already sleeping, and I couldn't stop myself from kissing our little boy.
"There are so many things I want to tell you, Madeline, you looked so beautiful tonight, and I could tell motherhood suits you well, and you looked hotter, my sweet Madeline." He declared, and I couldn't stop my face from turning bright red, and I couldn't believe until now that his words had the same effect on me; before we got married, I always blushed every time he gave me compliments.
"Do you know you still looked so adorable every time you blushed? and I am glad, and I am sure even if our hair turns to grey, you will still be the same Madeline I fell in love with years ago, and I will never get tired of loving you, my wife." He said, and my heart swelled with happiness.
"Wow, thank you, my dear husband, and that is too many to count, but I could tell something is bothering you, Hunter; what is it? You can't lie to me, my love. I know you, and every time
you want to tell me something, you can't stop yourself from stealing glances at me. Spit it out, Hunter." I responded, and I couldn't believe he would be laughing so hard.
"You've got me, okay, there is something I wanted to tell you, my sweet and lovely wife. The International Business Summit is fast approaching, and I needed to attend this event, but I don't want to go because I couldn't stop myself from worrying about you and our son." There he said it, and I closed the distance between us, and I took our son back from his arms, and slowly put him on his crib, and we couldn't let him be alone in the nursery so, if we are not sleeping in the nursery, we will bring his crib in our room.
"Hunter, you must go; grandpa already told me about it, and I know what you are doing for the company is for the future of our son and our grandchildren as well, and you know I will never hold you back, my love. Don't worry about us; we will never leave the Grant Castle once you are away, and I will do that so you will have peace of mind, and I am sure nothing will happen to us, Hunter." I responded, and he weakly smiled at me.
"But I don't want to go because I want to be with you and Luis." My husband muttered.
"Don't worry; before you will know it, and it will be over. We can Facetime the moment you will get back to your hotel." I answered.
"I know, but it would be so different if I could kiss and hug you, and I could take our son in my arms," Hunter replied.
"My love, it will not take one month, and if you want, I can ask Lily to come here, so I have company here in our room, plus Gina is living here in our estate. I am sure everything will be fine, and don't forget about grandpa and my aunt, you know them, they always look out for us," I said.
"I know you would be safe, Madeline, but I will be missing you like crazy," He said.
"The feeling would be mutual, my love, you know I even miss you even if you are working in your office how much more we will be miles apart from each other, but it will be okay, you will call and text me every day every chance you can get, okay?" I said, and I stood up on my toes, and I kissed my husband on the lips, and I giggled when he carried me, and he slowly put me down on our bed.
"And do you know what will make me miss you more?" He asked, and I shook my head.
"This," He said as he started undressing my nightgown, and I couldn't stop myself from getting thrilled as I realized I was going to spend another night with my husband filled with passion and love. And when I felt his hands on my sensitive parts, I couldn't stop moaning, and we made love passionately.
"Are you sure you won't be missing Hunter the moment he leaves for Europe?" Gina asked me, and I wondered why she was at home again.
"Of course, I will miss him like crazy," I answered her.
"Aren't you going to the office, Gina?" I asked, and she shook her head.
"Not today, and I love it that I will be spending more time with Luis; just leave him to me if you will feel sleepy, Madeline." She said.
"Can you tell me honestly, Gina, did my husband hire you to work at his office, or did he hire you so you can monitor my daily activities here in our home?" I asked, and my best friend shook her head right away.
"Of course not, I already told you the nature of my work, and I couldn't believe you would doubt me. I know you are intelligent, Maddie, and I could never level with your intelligence, but I hope you will also trust me the way your husband did. I am so grateful that your grandpa's company gave me this kind of opportunity." She declared.
"Hey, I am sorry, Gina, but I didn't mean it that way, okay? I find it odd that you are always here when you should be there in the office. I don't mean to offend you, Gina, and please don't get me wrong, and as your best friend, I am just saying what is on my mind right now." I responded.
"I know you don't mean to hurt me, Madeline, and I am sorry if I overreacted. I am just glad I've got this position because I can be with you." She said with tenderness.
"Thank you, Gina, and please don't get angry with me," I replied.
"You know I will never get angry with you, Maddie, and I just hope you still want to see me here." She said.
"Of course, Gina, I wanted you to be here with me always, and I hope even if you get married, you will still find time to be with me," I responded, and she laughed.
"Married? How? I don't even have a boyfriend, Madeline." She responded.
"Who knows, you will find the love of your life here in Neospoli country," I answered.
"I don't know, Maddie. I am not even sure if I will forget about Jack. I didn't expect I would fall in love with him, and I am so thankful I got this job, so I will stop myself from coming into his restaurant." My best friend said, and I felt sad for her as I looked at her face.
"Does she have a girlfriend already?" I asked, and she shook her head.
"I don't think he has since I haven't seen anyone on his social media account, and I think like me, he couldn't get over with you. I could tell that Jack Morigan is still in love with you, Madeline." My best friend answered.
And I felt guilty because I wanted Jack to have a love life; he is too handsome and hot to be hung up with me. He should be happy now with the girl he loves. And I could tell they would look good together.
"How about you will confess to Jack?" I asked, and she shook her head.
"There is no way I will do something stupid like that, Madeline, you know I don't have the guts to tell him how I feel, and I don't want to get humiliated and hurt at the same time," Gina responded.
"I don't think Jack will humiliate you, Gin; we both know he is a good man. How I wish I could find a way to help you, Gina." I replied, and she looked at me with sadness on her face, and I realized she had done so many things for me, and I think it is about time I could return the favor.
I needed to help Gina win Jack's love since I could tell there was a big chance Jack would fall in love with my best friend, and all I needed to do was a good plan, and I couldn't wait to be their cupid, and I am so excited for them to fall in love with each other.
