Hunter's POV
The mont I got back into our house, I asked the maids, drivers, and the rest of the staff in the house who are living in the residences I provided for them inside my property to help clean the secret room. I even call Calixto, and I stifled a laugh when he arrived.
"I don't know if I will be happy that you consider as one of your favorite employees, Mr. Divenson. That is why you are abusing my right?" He asked the mont he ca and helped with the box that I am carrying.
"And why did you co?" I asked, and he looked so surprised by my question.
"Because you call , and you also asked if I consider you as a friend, I should co, and you told you needed a pal at this hour, and I never expect we will be cleaning this room late at night. Don't you have a watch, Mr. Divenson? It is very late, and we are packing all this, and you asked your staff to burn everything." He answered.
"And I wonder why you want to clean this room, right at this mont." He continued to complain as he proceeded to lift the cartons, and I can't stop myself from smiling.
"I am doing all this for Madeline. Aren't you happy that finally, after ten years, I was able to move on, and you should be glad because this is what you ever wanted?" I said, and his face softened.
"Of course, it was my long wish that soday you would find the courage to face the truth and embrace the reality that Rebecca is no longer here, and you have to enjoy yourself and stop being miserable." Calixto declared.
"And I knew from the very start, from the first ti you laid your eyes at Madeline's pictures, I know from that mont that she will beco your salvation," Calixto said, and I can't stop myself from beaming at him.
"Yeah, you are right, Cal, and thank you so much for finding Maddie. She is indeed my salvation, and I couldn't imagine my life living without her, and I am now very excited to have our family together. Still, I understand. I need to wait until she graduates from college." I said.
"In my opinion, you can have a family now, and I think this is the best ti to have one." He said.
"I know, but I want Madeline to finish her education first, I already want her to get pregnant, but I understand. It was her dream, Cal." I replied, and we continue cleaning the entire room.
I am so glad that after two hours, the room is clean, and I instructed my n to have it repainted tomorrow morning. And I asked Calixto to have a drink with at the bar.
"You know this is the only ti I have to spend with my wife because I am always with you every day, and right now, you are tempting to have a drink with you." Cal declared.
"I know, Cal, but I told you already, I want to have so drinks with you to celebrate, but don't worry, we will only have three to four shots, and we are good. I will let you go ho to your wife, and I want to be like you, Cal, you have been married to your wife for how many years, but I can tell you are still in love with each other." I said.
"Of course, I married my wife out of love, no offense, Mr. Divenson, and when I married her, I promised to myself no matter how hard life can be, or when our relationship is tested by problems, especially temptation, and money issues, I will never forget I love her. I will do everything I can to save our marriage no matter how tough the situation would be, and we promise to compromise and be each other's strength." Cal said.
"Wow, so that is your secret for being married for a long ti. You are now my idol, Cal. I want to follow in your footsteps, and I will never leave Madeline whatever happens." I replied as I poured whisky on his glass, and I am shocked when he drunk it in one gulp, and he asked for a refill.
"I thought you don't want to drink, but how could you gulp it down, and you are asking for a refill right away," I said, laughing.
"Well, I also miss drinking." He replied, and I shook my head.
"Your parents have been married for a long ti now, Hunter." He stated, and I shook my head.
"I can tell my mother is so in love with my Dad, and I can feel it, yet my father told he only married my mom because of her wealth. He doesn't believe in love, Cal, but I am different from my father, and after Rebecca's death, I have wished I could be like him so I could marry Kaye, but I am a hopeless romantic. I always believe in love, and when she died, I thought I would never feel this way again, but when I t Madeline, everything change, I felt sothing for the first ti and realized I am still capable of loving." I declared.
"As if Maddie brought from the dead, she made feel different after a long ti being miserable I was able to laugh and enjoy my life, and I wish this will never change, I hate to be hurt again, Cal, and I don't want anything to happen to her," I added.
"Nothing will happen to Madeline, Mr. Divenson, and always rember she is a fighter," Cal replied.
"Yeah, but I am so worried today because I can feel she is unhappy, and I am so worried about what is bothering her, and I don't want her to be sad," I said, and I drink my liquor.
"Ha! Ha' Ha!" Calixto laughed at my face.
"What is so funny?" I asked.
"I can tell you are now in love, Hunter, and I am so happy for you, son." He declared, and I grinned.
"I know, Calixto, I am madly in love with my wife," I said, and we have two more shots before we call it a night. And I find it so hard to fall asleep thinking about Maddie. I want to call her that I ended throwing my phone on the floor, and this is the first ti I felt this way. I realized my feeling for Madeline is more profound than what I felt for Rebecca, and it made realized I cling to my ex, and I tried my best to relive her mories because of the guilt that I felt that I didn't give her the chance to explain. I judged her and made a stupid decision, and I am glad that after ten years, I was able to let Rebecca rest in peace finally. I will visit her grave one of these days to say goodbye.
My eyes are heavy because of the lack of sleep, and when I opened up my eyes and looked at the space beside , I felt so empty that my wife is not sleeping beside . I got up from the bed with emptiness in my heart. And I want to finish my project for today, hoping to make my wife happy. I get outside from the house and go to the staff's place, and asked my n to bring the materials needed for the repainting. I can tell so of them still want to sleep because today is Sunday, but I promised to double their salary for today. That is why they all looked so excited to work.
I supervised them and never left the room, and I was standing in the middle of the entire area when I sensed Madeline's presence. When I turn around, I saw my wife standing near the door, and I can't stop myself from smiling at her, and I felt so happy that she is finally ho. She was only gone for a night, but it feels like years have passed that I haven't seen her, and I can't stop myself from telling her about my plan of making the place a playroom for our future children, and I am delighted that I can see the excitent on her beautiful face.
"Are you hungry?" I asked, and she shook her head.
"I don't care if you are not hungry, Maddie. I will still bring you to the kitchen. If I need to feed you, I will do it so you will eat." I said, and she giggled.
I took my wife's right hand and brought her to the kitchen. I already cooked her favorite breakfast, lots of bacon and eggs. I can't concentrate eating my food because I can't stop staring at my wife's face, and I can't express in words how happy she made . I am so grateful that she ca into my life, and she took away all the bad mories. She replaced them with unforgettable pleasant mories, especially the ti we spent during our honeymoon.
"We are going out today." I declared.
"Really? Where?" She asked, and I can tell she is excited about it, and I can't wait to tell her.
"We will go to the Divenson mansion and pick up my little sister, Lily, and bring her to the mall. I promised to take her to the mall because her birthday is near." I said, and I can see the happiness on Madeline's face, and this is one thing I love about her, she cares about my sister so much.
"Wow, I want to buy her a gift too. Maybe you can help find one." She said, and I smiled at her.
"Sure, I know what my sister's favorites are, and it includes painting materials." I replied, and she grinned.
After eating breakfast, we take a bath together, and I can't stop myself from making love with my wife on the tub passionately.. And I felt so happy that the sadness I saw on her face yesterday was gone, and I can tell she is excited to see my sister and spend ti with .
