Loving Madeline - Chapter 256
Hunter’s POV
“What is it, Leo?” Hector Grant asked the moment we got inside his study, and I could tell Leo felt uneasy.”Someone came today, and she was looking for you.” Leo declared, grandpa raised his eyebrows, and I wonder who came today that made the butler so workup.
“Who is that someone, Leo?” My grandfather-in-law asked, and Leonardo handed him an envelope, and grandpa’s forehead furrowed.
“Just tell me about it, Leo; I don’t have time to get over with what is inside this envelope.” He declared.
“It seems Madeline is not your only granddaughter.” He said, and Leo’s words surprised me, and I could tell Hector was more shocked than I was, and I couldn’t read the expression on his face.
“That is ridiculous, and Frank doesn’t have any more daughters? What do you mean by that, Leo?” He asked, and he was not pleased with what he heard.
“The woman who came today claimed she was also Frank’s daughter from another woman, and I think the contents of that envelope were proof that she is also your granddaughter,” Leo responded as he looked at his employer and then at me.
I was shocked when Hector Grant threw the brown envelope on top of his table, and he looked at Leonardo while he was curling his fists on his sides.
“I am not interested in knowing that woman, and I don’t even want to know her name. I only know Frank had two children, the one who died and Madeline, and I could tell that someone was a fraud. Don’t ever let her get inside this house, Leo.” He retorted.
“And don’t tell my granddaughter about this. I don’t want Madeline to know about this woman.” Hector added.
“Do you understand, Leo?” He asked, and the butler nodded his head.”Of course, sir,” Leo replied, and grandpa walked to the door while he motioned me to follow him.
“Please, Hunter, don’t tell Madeline about this.” He said as we walked to the grand staircase.
“Don’t worry, grandpa, I won’t tell her anything,” I responded.”Good.” He replied.”What if it is true, grandpa?” I asked, and he shook his head.”Hunter, I know Madeline is my only granddaughter. Even if my son didn’t reach out to me, I know about his life. I expected after the press conference, some will get jealous of Madeline, and they will use any means they can to get an inheritance from me.” He responded.”By the time the people of Neospoli learned I have a granddaughter, I expected many will claim they are my granddaughters too because I announced that Madeline is my only heir, and they think they can fool me.” He added.”I know Maddie is my only granddaughter and no one else.” He said, and we ascended the grand staircase.”See you at dinner, Hunter.” He said before he walked towards his bedroom, and I strode to our bedroom, and I felt so excited to see my wife, and I realized I missed her so much, even if I had last seen her this morning.I felt so happy that Madeline’s grandfather was thinking about her safety. Now that someone is trying to claim him as her grandfather, he shows his disinterest by telling Leonardo never to entertain that woman. Still, I can’t stop myself from worrying even if Hector Grant told me Madeline was his only granddaughter since I know that woman could make our life complicated if she happens to be real.I softly knocked since I wanted to see Madeline’s reaction the moment she found me outside our bedroom door, and she didn’t disappoint me when she threw herself at me and curled her arms around my neck right away.”I missed you so much,” Maddie replied, and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling at her.”I missed you too, my sweet Madeline,” I replied, and I kissed her on the lips, and I couldn’t believe that I would be making out with my wife outside our bedroom, and she giggled as I carried her inside our room.”How was your day, my love?” Madeline asked me, and I couldn’t stop myself from gaping at my wife’s beautiful face, and I wanted to make love to her right away, but I knew we needed to eat dinner with her grandpa.”It was fantastic, the BOD’s welcomed me warmly, and I am just lonely because I want to be here with you,” I said, and her beautiful smile made me have knots on my stomach, and my hand made its way to her face, and my fingers caressed her smooth skin.”Me too; I wanted to ask Leonardo for a driver since I was desperate to see you, I planned to visit you in your office this afternoon, but I don’t want to disturb your busy day.” My wife responded.”You know I will always have time for you, Madeline,” I said, and Megan locked her beautiful eyes with mine, and I could see that she was starting to blush as I traced the contour of her lips with my fingers.”Yeah, I know, Hunter, but I don’t want grandpa to think I can’t control myself. I need to endure the need to see you, and I am just glad aunt Francine dropped by, and she had tea with me this afternoon.” Madeline responded, and I talked with my wife some more before I got inside the bathroom and took a bath.During dinner, I could tell my wife was very enthusiastic as she talked with her grandfather, and Hector Grant was laughing most of the time, and I was only listening to them as we ate our dinner. I know my wife is not a talker, but this time I felt so happy that she was talking and laughing with her grandfather, and I realized she loved Neospoli, and I felt glad we made the right decision by living here in this beautiful Neospoli country.Months passed, and I couldn’t stop smiling as I watched my wife’s bump. At this point, I could tell pregnancy suited Maddie well; her breasts became fuller, and I loved watching my wife on her maternity dress, especially if we were walking together holding hands, and knowing I am the father of her child made me feel so proud, and even if I felt a little nervous and worried, because I know giving birth is not that easy the labor could be painful, I couldn’t wait to see my child.I was driving my car, and it was a welcome gift from Hector. He bought me a new car right after I asked him if I could use one of his cars since I wanted to go to my office driving my car since I don’t like to have a driver anymore after what happened with Frank. Hector resigned after two months I assumed his post, and he is now enjoying his time with Madeline every day, and my wife couldn’t be happier.”Are you excited?” My wife asked, and I turned my head and looked at her sideways, and I smiled at Maddie before I returned my focus on the road. We are on our way to one of her prenatal checks up, and we will also know today the gender of our child.”Of course, I am, and I don’t care if it was a boy or a girl. I would be happy and excited fo be a dad.” I responded, and it always warmed my heart to see my wife’s hand caress her tummy while I was holding her other arm.”Me too; if it is a boy, I know he will look exactly like you.” She said, and her giggles made me smile.”Yeah, and if it is a girl, I know she will look a lot like you,” I responded, and she put her head on my shoulder as I drove at a minimum speed since I always wanted to have this moment with Maddie. I missed driving my car while she was sitting beside me. We were listening to our favorite music, and it felt so lovely to watch her this happy and excited.The moment we arrived at the parking lot, I couldn’t stop my heart racing due to my excitement, and we walked holding hands as we made our way to the OB-Gyn clinic.”Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Divenson, you’ve got a baby boy.” The doctor said, and my tears fell on my cheeks as I kissed my wife’s hand, and I couldn’t express the feelings I felt when I learned we have a baby boy, and there are so many things playing on my head as of the moment. And I felt so excited as I thought about what we should do together with him and my wife. “I can’t wait to go camping together, and we will go fishing,” I said excitedly as we were on our way back to the parking lot, and I heard my wife’s soft laughter.”My love, I think you should think about changing his diaper first.” My wife said.”Yes, of course, I couldn’t believe I would feel this excited that I was thinking about what we can do when he is already a teenager instead of the basic things,” I replied.”Thank you, Madeline, for making me this happy; you taught me how to become a real man, you complete me, and now I couldn’t express the happiness I felt when I heard the doctor say we have a baby boy,” I said..”Me too; I can’t wait to tell them that it is a baby boy,” Madeline replied, and I captured my wife’s sweet mouth and kissed her passionately as I could feel the overwhelming emotions in my heart, and I felt so excited to be a dad.
