Hunter's POV
I couldn't stop myself from thinking about my wife waiting in my office as I listened to my clients discuss our contract and what we can offer them. I want my eting to be over to be with Maddie, and I hate myself for feeling this way. It feels like I beca like a high school boy over again, and I realized I beca so obsessed with my wife, and I need to control myself, so my wife will not find out I beca like this.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Divenson, for giving us this opportunity to be working with you. I know your reputation at a young age, and I am sure this would be a successful undertaking for our company." Mr. Makisama said, and I smiled at him as I offered my hand to him for a handshake.
"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Makisama; I am so delighted that you chose to invest in our company," I replied with a wide grin.
"Of course, Mr. Divenson, we trust you." He replied, and he asked to have dinner with them. And I can't turn down their invitation, so I said yes, and I offer to take them to the best restaurant in the city. They left with broad smiles on their faces, and I asked my driver to take them to their hotel while I felt triumphant that I close the deal, but I am disappointed that I couldn't have dinner with my wife and my sister tonight.
"Wow! As usual, your charm never fails. Mr. Divenson, our client, will always say yes to you." He said.
"Of course, and I am more inspired now even if I felt so distracted because I can't stop thinking about my wife waiting for in my office. You need to join tonight, Cal. I can't entertain them without you." I said.
"I would love to since you made an excellent move today, you showed that you care about Madeline, and I am so happy for my daughter." He said, and I laughed.
"Does Madeline knew you claim her to be your daughter? She looked so beautiful to be called your child, Cal; I know you are handso, but not enough to say you can be her dad." I said, and I am still laughing.
"Hunter, I am more handso than Frank, so I am still proud to call her my daughter." He said, and I genuinely smiled at him.
"Thank you, Calixto, for loving my wife this way; kidding aside, I know Maddie needs soone like you in her life. And I can't thank you enough for being always there for her, and to be honest, I beca jealous since your sympathy now is with her, but I like it." I said with a broad grin on my face.
"Don't ntion it, son." He said, and I chuckled, and it is true I felt like Calixto is my father. He has always been there for through the bad tis and the good tis. And I am so grateful for having him in my life.
We get out of the board room with triumphant smiles on our faces, and I am so excited to go back to my office since I know my beautiful wife is waiting for . And my smile broadens when I saw Lily sitting beside Madeline on the couch, and they were laughing, and it warms my heart to hear my wife laughs with Lily. It has been a long ti that I listen to her genuinely laughed since I can tell she was faking her laughter, but right now, I can tell she is happy, and I felt so glad I asked Lily to co and be with us.
"Hi, guys!" I greeted them, and they both turned around to look at ; and Lily got up from the sofa and ran towards .
"Hello, Hunter!" My sister exclaid as she hugged , and I stroked her hair while I kissed her forehead. I know she is no longer a little girl, but every ti we see each other, she will always greet with a warm hug, and I always kiss her head. It feels so wonderful to show my brotherly love to her. And my heart is racing as I watch Maddie looked at us, and after Lily goes back to the sofa, I walked towards Madeline, and I sat beside her, and she scooted a little towards Lily's side to give enough space.
I put my arms around her waist while I put my chin on the nook of her shoulder. I closed my eyes as I inhaled Madeline's scent that made feel overjoyed, and when I opened my eyes, I found my sister looking at us with a beautiful smile on her face while she raised her phone, and she took a picture of Madeline and .
"Just perfect for my Instagram, and I am going to caption this with "my favorite couple." She said and giggled.
"I thought I wouldn't see you like this again, and I am happy that you make up already; you don't realize how you made sad when I learned Madeline left again," Lily said, and I took Maddie's hand and held it while looking at my sister's face.
"It was all my fault, Lily, and I regretted everything, and I wish I were honest with Maddie. And I hope Madeline will finally forgive , and I was hoping she will be coming ho soon." I declared, and Madeline looked at with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Soon." She replied, and I bring her closer to once again, and I tightly embraced her before I finally let go of her body as I stood up in front of them.
"I want to have dinner with you, guys, but our new investors invited Cal and to have dinner with them, and I am so sorry that I can't be with you," I said, and I saw how my sister's face fell, but Madeline took her hand, and she smiled at Lily before she speaks.
"Don't worry, Lily, because we will have fun. I will cook your favorite." Madeline said.
"Are you sure about that, Maddie?" Lily asked Madeline, and she bead at her. And I couldn't stop myself from grinning, and I felt so excited for them to have their bonding mont, and I wish Maddie will invite to sleep beside her tonight.
I call the pilot and instructed him to take them to Madeline's place. And I went ho feeling so happy and contented, and I take a shower and choose to wear navy blue slacks with a white button-up shirt and hard leather bottom shoes. I want to wear jeans and a t-shirt, but I know I need to look impressive in front of our new investors.
"Wow! You look so different tonight son, are you going on a date with Maddie?" My mom asked.
"I wish I could, mom, but I need to have dinner with our clients from Southeast Asia tonight with Calixto. And I am just glad Lily is with my wife, and I am sure she will convince Maddie to co ho soon into our own house." I said.
"And mom, please, kindly ask soone to clean our bedroom tomorrow, and tell her to change the beddings of our bed." I added, and she nodded her head.
"Of course, and I think you should go back sleeping in your room, Hunter, I know you avoided sleeping in the master's bedroom because you can't stop thinking about your wife, but I guess everything is okay now because I will not see you this happy if you didn't make peace with Madeline." Mom said.
"Yeah, you are right, mom; I am so happy today because my wife was in my office this afternoon. The truth is I picked up Maddie at her place, and I brought her into my office because I can't stop myself from thinking about her even though I was so busy with my work." I replied while I can't stop myself from grinning, and this ti I rember this feeling, and I recognize it as the feeling of being in love.
"Oh, that is so sweet of you, Hunter. I have been married to your father for a long ti, but I never experienced that he ca ho just to see ." My mom said, and I can see the sadness on her beautiful face, and I know she is still hurting over her broke up with my dad, and I know it wasn't easy on her part to file a divorce, but that is what she wants even though I know she was hurting inside.
I am aware of how much she loves our dad. But my father deserves that since he never values his wife's great love for him, and he was the luckiest man for having my mother as his wife. And I hope this ti he will realize how foolish he was for being so selfish for hurting our mom and us, his children.
Our dinner was perfect, and I want to go ho after we eat our al, but Mr. Makisama asked Cal and to go with them to have so drinks at the nearby bar, and as we drink, I can't stop myself from looking at my watch.
"Hunter, stop looking at your watch." Cal whispered when our clients are busy talking with each other.
"I can't wait to co ho, Cal, and spend ti with Madeline and my sister." I said, and he smirked.
"Are you sure? I know you are planning to be alone with your wife, Hunter." He replied and laughed at while I felt my face blushed.
"You really know , Calixto." I said while I was grinning at him, and I bring my glass into my mouth, and I drink the scotch on the rocks in one gulp while I felt so excited to co ho at my wife's place and wishing she will be sleeping in my arms tonight.
