Hunter’s POVI

I can see the concern on Hector Grant’s face when he found out my wife is not feeling well, and I found it amazing that Madeline’s grandfather really care for her, and I couldn’t believe that this arrogant man turned out to be so caring and loving grandpa to my wife.The doctor still came even if Madeline begged the nurse to tell her grandfather that she was feeling better.

And I was the one who felt grateful that the doctor came, because I was damn worried about her condition, and I felt glad her grandpa was the one who insisted that the doctor should check on her.I didn’t show it to my wife that I felt troubled about her situation even if she was only having slight dizziness.

I was afraid about the safety of our baby, and when the doctor said my wife is fine that is the time I felt relieved. And watching Maddie sleep peacefully on my arm made me feel so happy that we are now together.

And I will never allow it to happen again that I will be separated from my wife.On the following day Hector Grant came to our room early in the morning, and I felt glad I was ready, and on my way to the dining hall, I don’t intend to wake up Madeline, but when she heard her grandpa’s voice she got up and greeted her grandfather with a sweet smile on her face, and I don’t want to leave my wife the entire day, since I got used being with her every day the last time we were here.

“Please, take care of my husband today, grandpa.” My wife softly said.

“Madeline, you don’t need to worry about your husband, Hunter is one of the best mining engineer in the world, at young age he established his name. And you should be proud of your husband.” Hector Grant said, and hearing those words coming from the person I admired for so long was enough to warmed my heart.

“Of course, grandpa, I am so proud of my husband, and of course, I am so proud of you too, and I couldn’t believe my grandfather is a mining engineer, and I also married to a mining engineer, and it seems this child on my womb would inherits your passion in mining.” Madeline responded, and her words made her grandpa and me laughed.

“But you don’t need to worry about anything, Madeline, I will take good care of your husband today, and I don’t want to make it slow, I want to train him now so everyone in my company would know him right away, because I want Hunter to take over my place sooner.” Hector declared.

“Because I wanted to spend the rest of my life playing with my grandchild, I lost my chance to see you grow, and play with you, this time I promise to be a hands on great-grandpa to your child.” He added, and I could see the happiness on my wife’s face. Hector Grant walked closer to my wife, and bring her closer into him, and then he kissed my wife’s forehead.

“You take good care, my dear.” He said, and he said goodbye to Maddie and walked out through the door ahead of me, and I could tell he was giving me enough privacy to say goodbye to my wife.

“See you later, my love.” I said to Madeline as I put my hands on her hips.

“Okay, don’t tire yourself, Hunter.” She said, and stood on her toes, and my wife whispered something on my ear that made all the nerves on my body burning with fire.

“Don’t tease me early morning, Madeline.” I grunted under my breath.

“I am not teasing you, my love, I am just reminding you what awaits you at home.” She said as she was biting her lower lip, and even if I know Hector was waiting for me outside, I kissed my wife, and I made out with Madeline long and sweet until I hear her softly moaning.

“You really know how to tease your husband, my sweet.” I said, and she giggled, and I kissed her one more time before I got out of the door, and I don’t really want to leave her even for a while. And I found Hector Grant looking at me with taunting smile on his lips.”It seems you find it so hard to say goodbye to your wife, son.” He declared.

“Yeah, you may call me crazy, but I don’t want to leave her side especially now that she is pregnant, and because of the things that happened from the past, I don’t want to be away from Madeline even for a while.” I responded, and his smile broadened, and this time I could tell it was a smile of relief.

“You are not crazy, Hunter, you are only madly in love with my lovely granddaughter, and that is a good thing, I remember my wife. And I love her so dearly even if we came from two different worlds, and I felt so glad she became my wife, and we were blessed with children, and it broke her heart when she learned I wanted Frank to marry the daughter of my business partner, and I am not proud of what I had become, Hunter.” He said after we setteled at the back of his car.

Hector Grant looked so regal in his business suit, and I felt so proud being with him. He instructed the chauffeur to leave the estate, and I wanted to tell him next time I will be driving the car since I don’t need a driver.

“Don’t let your pride ruined the good relationship you have with Madeline, Hunter, whatever problem you will encounter along the way, always remember, Madeline is your wife, and you are willing to do everything for her, and always make your wife and children on top of all your priorities.Grandpa added.

“Even if I am the wealthiest man in this country, I failed as a father, and I know my children loathed me, and I am just glad Francine never ran away, or else I will end up more miserable.” He continued.

“When I learned I have a granddaughter, I felt so happy, and I promised myself I will make it up to her, all the things I wasn’t able to give to her father I will shower Madeline everything, and I am expecting you to cooperate with me because I have so many things I wanted to do with my grandchild.” He declared.

“I am already old, Hunter, and two of the things you can’t buy no matter how wealthy you are, are life span extension and time, you can’t buy them from the store. And that is why you have to make good memories. I never thought about these things, not until I met your wife.” He added.

“I wanted to have more memories and time with Madeline, Hunter, and of course, I wanted to watch your children grow into adults, but I know I am asking to much, right now, all I want is an opportunity to be with Maddie. I hope you will not be selfish.” He declared, and I looked at him.

“Of course, you can have as much time you want with my wife. All I want for Madeline is to be happy. I know my wife felt so glad when you came into her life. You were only a dream once, and my wife didn’t expect you will become real.” I said, and he grinned at me.

“Of course, I am real.” He replied, and he kept silent for the rest of our ride, and then we arrived on the tallest building all over Choraz, and I am no longer shock when I raised my head, and realized the skycraper in front to us belonged to him, and until now I couldn’t beleieve I will become the new CEO of his company.

The moment we arrived inside the building, I didn’t expect we will be attending a board meeting right away, and I was overwhelmed with happiness when the Board of Directors welcomed and greeted me warmly, and I could tell it may not be an easy road for me, but I am willing to do everything I can for my wife and future children, and I know there is nothing I should be afarid of since Hector Grant will be there for me every step of the way.

It was a long tiring day, but when it was time for us to go home, I smiled as I remebered my wife’s words, and I wanted to come home right away because I am excited that my beautiful pregnant wife is waiting home for me.

The ride going to Grant estate feels like forever, may be because I wanted to see Madeline, and I am excited to spend another night with my wife. Leonardo met us on the grand entrance of the house and I could tell right away something is bothering him since he looked so stressed, and he can’t focus his eyes to his boss, or to me.

“Good evening, Mr. Grant, Mr. Divenson.” He greeted us, and we both greeted him.”Can I have a word with you, Mr. Grant?” He asked as he looked at Hector and then to me.”Is my wife, okay?” I asked as I can feel the rapid beating of my heart, and I couldn’t stop myself from feeling so worried about Madeline.

“There is nothing to be worried about, Mr. Divenson, your wife is fine, and she is with her aunt Francine on the garden’s pavilion.” He said, and I released a sigh of relief.

“What do you want to talk about, Leo? Hunter could join us, from now on, you can discuss anything with me in Hunter’s presence.” Grandpa replied.

“Of course, sir..” The butler responded, but I could feel Leo doesn’t want to include me with their conversation, and I could tell it would be regarding Madeline, and whatever it is I am confident Hector Grant will protect my wife, and whatever happens I will always be here for her.
