Loving Madeline

Hunter's POV

"Why didn't you wake me up, Hunter?" My wife asked the moment she woke up, and I just smiled at her before I spoke.

"I wanted to wake you up, but I couldn't stop myself from watching your beautiful face, and I want to look at you while you were sleeping because I miss this kind of moment, Madeline. For how many nights I wasn't able to sleep beside you, and I want to take this opportunity to be with you." I replied, and she beamed at me.

"We are going to spend more time together now that you are back." She said.

"I know about that, but it will never be enough because I will be at the office most of the time, and I know that I will be missing you every day." I responded.

"I don't think so because I will be with you at the office." She responded, and her words made my eyes got bigger.

"What do you mean by that, Madeline?" I asked her, and I felt so thrilled.

"Before I learned that I was pregnant, I came to the office with mom, and I helped her as her assistant. And I hate to admit that I love working in the office. I started to work as the head for the VP for Finance since the position got vacant after you fired your sister." She said.

"Wow! That would be amazing. Are you sure about your decision, Maddie? I thought you still want to explore your horizon." I said, and she sweetly smiled at me.

"At first, I want to work with another firm to have enough experience, before I start working in your company. But when you were trapped down there, I understood I wanted to explore the world with you, either for business or my personal development. I realized why I should work for other people when I know you needed someone you can trust in the company; besides, I want to learn everything from you, and most of all, I always wanted to be near you, Hunter." She said, and I felt overwhelmed with gladness, and I kissed my wife gently on the lips, and we shared a passionate kiss before I let her go.

"You make me so happy, Madeline. Of course, please work in our company, not on my company, Maddie. I want to give you the freedom to choose what you want to do with your life, especially your career. I don't want you to feel that I am giving you a hard time because I don't want you to be suffocated with me." I replied.

"One more thing, I want to remind you, from the moment I marry you, everything that I am and everything that I have is all yours, Maddie. So, from now on, I don't want you to refer to the company as my company alone. It belongs to our family." I continued.

"You don't need to go to work, but I know you. It was your dream to work in an office. And I don't want to deny you anything that you wanted to do with yourself because I want to make you the happiest wife in the whole universe, Maddie. After all, you deserve all the best things this world can offer." I added, and she giggled.

"You already made me the happiest, wife, Hunter." My wife responded, and I looked at her tenderly.

"Did I?" I asked.

"Yes, and for that, I am so happy," She said, and I could feel the happiness in her voice.

"Me too, Madeline, you make me the happiest man, and you complete me," I replied as I got up from the bed, and I offered my hands to my wife, and I helped her got up from our bed so that we could have a shower together.

"I am sorry if I made you tired," I whispered in her ear when she stood in front of me, and I dragged her in going to the bathroom.

"I wasn't tired, and I just feel so sleepy." She replied, and I could see the blush on her face, and I could tell my wife remembered our hot lovemaking, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling as we walked to the bathroom.

"Maddie, I am excited that you will be working in our company, but I will only allow you to work during this time until your second trimester, but on your third trimester, I want you to stop working so you can have proper rest. I know by that time you will always be tired, and I don't want you to be stressed with work. Aside from that, I want our baby to be healthy." I declared as I gently turned her body around so she could face me by holding her shoulders.

"Of course, your wish is my command, Hunter, and I hope during my leave of absence you will stop having over time." She replied, and I grinned at her.

"You don't need to worry about anything, Madeline, because the moment I will go back to work, I will always go home early unless there will be some emergencies. I plan to spend more time with you, and I want to watch our child grow in your tummy, and I don't want to miss a thing about your pregnancy," I replied, and I could see the excitement all over her face.

We took a bath together, and then we dressed after I helped my wife find a perfect dress for today. And I can't stop staring at her with her knee-length dress, and after I helped her, I blew dry her hair, and she tied it into a ponytail. And I can't stop admiring my wife's beautiful legs on full display. And I miss watching my wife this way, as I realized she looks like a model, and her angelic face is making me crazy.

"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Divenson!" The housemaids greeted us, and I smiled at them as I realized Cerila already left to attend her class. We eat our breakfast together in high spirits, and I can see the satisfaction and enthusiasm on my wife's face.

I lay my hands on Maddie's waist, and I heaved her body from the ground so she could get settled at the front seat of the car. And I saw her skin was covered with goosebumps, and it made me smiled. I was driving my car, and I was surprised when I found my wife sleeping on her seat, and I realized it was confirmed my wife was pregnant, and I couldn't stop myself from beaming as I looked at on the road, while I kept stealing glances at Maddie's face from time to time until we reach our destination.

The moment she opened her eyes, I could tell my wife was disoriented at first why she was inside the car, and when my wife found me staring at her, Madeline smiled, and when Maddie looked around, her facial expression changed as she realized where we are. 

"Oh, Hunter, I couldn't believe you would bring me here," Madeline said the moment we stopped in front of her mother's grave. I put the flowers on the ground, and she looked at me for a long time.

"Thank you so much, Hunter. You make me so happy today." Madeline said, and then she looked at her mother's tombstone for a long time.

"I know you are excited to tell your mom that we are going to have a baby," I said as I put my arm around her shoulders, and I saw her tears fall on her cheeks, and I wiped them away using my fingers.

"Yes, I am very excited to tell her, and I was planning to come here with you." She said as she looked at me sideways.

"Mom, meet my handsome and hot husband, Hunter Divenson. I know when I was a little girl, you kept on telling me when I grew up, I would meet a handsome and loving prince. And you told me I am going to marry him. And of course, I believed you because you are my mom. But then, as I grew older, I realized I could only find prince charming in children's books." Madeline said, and I felt so amused as I listened to her talk with her mom as she looked at her epitaph, and I took her hand.

"And now that I got married to Hunter, I realized someone doesn't need to have a crown and throne to be called a prince because I indeed got married to my prince charming. My husband showered me all the things I need, and things that I didn't even need. And the overflowing love and care that he gave me were enough to make me feel like I am a real princess." She added while she squeezed my hand, and my heart swelled with happiness as l clasped her hand.

"And I am so happy right now, mom. And I am sorry if the last time I was here, I was crying. And now I can't wait to tell you the excellent news that you are going to be a grandmother!" Madeline said excitedly.

"I know you are happy for Hunter and me, and please continue to look over for us, mom. I love you so much, and you don't need to worry about me now. I have my prince who will protect me." Madeline continued.

"Yes, you don't need to worry, mom. I will take good care of Madeline. And I promised you that I would love Maddie and our coming children with all my heart. And I vowed to protect them with my life." I added, and Madeline put her arms around me, and I embraced her tightly, and we stayed like that for a long time.

Together we said goodbye to her mom, and we went back to the car, and I could tell that my wife looked happier now.

"Thank you for doing this, Hunter. You make me feel so happy, and I felt so touched, and it means a lot to me." Madeline said after she sat on her seat, and I looked at her with a smile on my face.

"You are welcome, Madeline." I replied as I drove away from the cemetery, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so delighted that I made my pregnant wife happy.
