Madeline's POV
It was early morning when I heard knocking on my door, and I walked to the door. And I was surprised when I found my mom, and I wondered what she wanted early this morning, and I couldn't stop smiling at her.
"Good morning, Madeline!" She greeted with a beautiful smile on her face, and I can tell after we learned that my husband is alive, I can now see mom's genuine smile. I know she was faking her smile for my sake as well.
"Morning, mom!" I greeted her back.
"Madeline, there is sothing I need to discuss with you." Mom Leticia said, and I suddenly felt worried if sothing happened during the rescue mission because we both all understood even if they communicated with my husband and Cal, it would take longer to pull them out.
"May I know what it is, Mom?" I asked as I tried to control the shaking of my voice.
"Roman and I talked, and we agreed that you should stay in your room for the timing being until Hunter will return, and you don't need to worry; everything is fine. I am just worried about you and the baby. I already hired additional guards, and rest assured you are safe, Madeline. I want you to be safe at all tis, especially now that you are carrying my grandchild. Besides, I am sure my son will co ho soon. You will only go downstairs during dinner because I want to have dinner with you and Lily." She responded, and I felt glad it wasn't about the rescue mission.
"Okay, mom, " I replied.
"You can call anyone if you need anything, and I bring you magazines and romance books you can read." She said, and I smiled at Hunter's mom.
"Thank you, mom," I replied, and she caressed my face.
"You are welco, honey, and don't worry, they said in due ti they can pull them up from the tunnel, and you are going to see my son again. And I want you to get ready and prepare yourself anyti." She said, and I nodded my head, and I got so excited about it, and I know Roman asked to stay in my room at all tis, and I feel glad the master's bedroom is very spacious, and I can walk around every ti I felt bored.
I wanted to visit the nursery to put additional decorations, and I can't wait to bring Hunter there. And I know Lily keeps buying stuff for the baby. I don't want them to worry, so I plan to revisit the nursery when my husband returns. If I am not only pregnant, I can walk around, and I know I can protect myself, but now that I have a little angel in my tummy, I couldn't risk it, and I am not also allowed to sit outside the balcony of my room, and I understand it was for my safety.
I was reading the magazine mom brought , and I cried when I looked at the cover of the next magazine, it was an old one before I got married to Hunter. He was the cover of the magazine, and I traced my fingers on his face. He looked so handso with his business suit. And I realized this was the only ti I got separated from my husband for a long ti. Ever since we got married, every ti he was away on a business trip, we always talked via Faceti, and he would go ho imdiately after he t his clients and attended a conference. I read the column, and I can't stop myself crying that I didn't notice I got company.
"Madeline, why are you crying? Hunter is now safe, and I am telling you, you will see him sooner than later, so please stop crying now because it can harm the baby." Gina said the mont she sat beside on the sofa inside our room.
"I couldn't help it, Gina. I missed my husband so much, and right now, as I see his image in the magazine, I suddenly miss him, and I want to go to the site and wait there until he gets out from the underground." I said.
"If you are not only pregnant, Maddie, I will drive you to the mining site even if it took almost five hours before we can reach the mining site." She responded while she dried my tears with her fingers.
"I know it is not good if you are alone in this room because you will spend your ti crying. Co with , Maddie." She said, and my eyes widened.
"Where are you going to take ? Mom asked to stay in my room the entire day, Gina." I said, and I suddenly felt nervous, and I know I always love suspense but right now that Clark Divenson is planning to kidnap , I don't like tension anymore.
"Relax, I will only bring you to the playroom since Lily told she already put all the toys in the playroom to keep the nursery clean. You know I am amazed that your child has two rooms, the nursery, and the playroom, and both rooms are more spacious than my room. It is different if you marry a billionaire." My best friend said as she smiled at .
"And marrying a billionaire is not that easy, Gina," I replied.
"Of course, I know about it, Madeline." She replied, and we got outside of our room, and we tiptoed going to the nursery room first, and I felt better when I looked at the crib, and I couldn't stop touching my tummy even if I didn't have a bump yet, and then we walked to the playroom, and my mouth hangs open. I couldn't believe Lily.
"Oh, no!" Gina exclaid while she covered her mouth, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so shocked, and I beca speechless.
"I couldn't imagine what will happen after you deliver your baby, Madeline. I think all the vacant rooms of this house will be filled with toys. I couldn't believe your little sister will buy all this for her coming nephew or niece, and I can tell she is very excited about your baby. That is why you need to take care of yourself and stop crying, okay?" She asked.
"Noted, Doc," I replied, and Gina's laughter reverberated the entire room, and I laughed with her. We returned to my room, and she was the one who brought lunch, and we ate together. And I felt so happy when she told she would be spending the night, but Gina asked if she could sleep in her usual reserve room every ti she slept over when Hunter was around.
"Why don't you want to sleep beside tonight, Gina?" I asked because every ti I am alone, she will sleep beside on my bed.
"Not this ti, Madeline. I want to feel I am one of the Divenson." She said, and I shook my head, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing.
"Suit yourself, and you can choose which room you like to have, and why do you want to feel like you are a Divenson?" I asked.
"Well, I want to imagine that I am also a daughter of a billionaire, so you better stop asking questions, Maddie. Driving your sports car every day made feel like one, and tonight I will be sleeping in a big room with an extra king-sized bed with luxurious bed covers and duvet will complete my fantasy." She said, and she looked so serious right now
"Whatever, Gina," I said as I shook my head.
Lily joined us after her class, and I wondered why she dressed up like Gina, and I wondered what was wrong with them. Today, I felt sothing was off, and I beca more confused when Lily spoke to .
"Madeline, can you also dress sothing nice? Mom wants us to have dinner together, and since we know that my brother is now safe, it is about ti that we should look so happy, I know we are not in the Divenson mansion, but I miss dressing up pleas?" Lily said with her puppy eyes that I couldn't say no to her, and she chose the last dress Hunter bought for , and I love it when I put it on, and when I looked at the mirror, the crimson mini dress with spaghetti straps looked so good on .
"You look so beautiful, Maddie, and I think you should wear that dress the mont my brother cos ho," Lily said, and I ruffled her hair.
"Okay, Lily, just remind because I love this dress too," I said, and she bead at .
"I think we need to go downstairs now; Mom texted she is already in the parking lot," Lily said, and we both got up from our seats, and we walked through the hallways down to the grand staircase. I was on the bottom of the stairs when the door opened, and I felt the entire world standstill when I found my husband looking at with tears in his eyes, and I ran towards him, and it felt like I was running in slow motion that I couldn't reach him right away.
I saw my husband running towards , and the mont we faced each other, Hunter carried , and he spun around, and I curled my legs around his waist. He captured my lips right away, and I kissed him back with yearnings, and I could taste my tears and his tears as we continued to kiss each other. We kissed for a long ti that background around us faded away, and I could no longer hear anything, only my heartbeat and the beating of Hunter's heart. We are both crying, and I stand on the floor while we continue kissing until we both hear clearing of throats, and we both laugh.
"Can I hugged you too, big brother?" Lily asked, and Hunter offered his arm to Lily while his other hand never let go. We hugged for a long ti without saying a single word, and I could tell our happy hearts communicated with each other, and I felt so overwheld with happiness that finally, he ca ho to us.
"Can I have dinner with you, Madeline?" He asked, and I nodded my head while I was still crying.
"I love you, Madeline." He said loud enough that everyone around us heard his words.
"I love you too, Hunter," I replied while he wiped my tears away, and he took my hand as we walked towards the dining hall and I couldn't stop my heart from feeling so happy that Hunter fulfilled the promise he made to co ho and have dinner with .
