Chapter 145 - Asking For Another Chance

Hunter's POV

For the first time in my life, I felt so happy that it rained. I never appreciated raining this much in my entire life, but tonight I want to jump on my feet and shout. Because of the heavy rain, I was able to get inside Madeline's house, and I can tell it was cozy, and I know my wife is good at choosing furniture and fixtures. That is why her house is perfect for her, and it hurts me to think that she is happy living here alone. When Madeline asked me to take a shower, I felt so delighted that she didn't ask me to go away and leave her house at once. 

And I want to tell her when she left home, I used her body wash in our bathroom so I can still smell her, and when my wife handed me the towel, I want to kiss her right away, but I need to control myself make it right. I know we still need to talk, but I can tell she is no longer angry with me. When I looked at the clothes she handed me, I can't stop myself from grinning as I realized I am holding my clothes. I find it so sweet that even she left me, she took something that will remind her of me, and I want to hug her right away, but I need to remind myself to be patient.

I don't want to ruin my chance with my wife ever again. And I want to make it right, this time I want to make it perfect for us even though I know there is no ideal marriage, but we can make our relationship better, I know I messed up, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to win her back. 

I was watching her beautiful portrait in the living room while I was drying my hair with the towel, and I can't stop myself from staring at my wife's beautiful face. And the moment she got outside from her room after she took a shower, my world stands still as I looked at her with her mini dress. I take a deep breath as I watch her walked to the kitchen, and I realized what a jerk I have been for hurting my wife.

She looked so sexy, and when she asked me if it would be okay if we eat instant noodles, I want to tell her I am already full just watching her. Her long legs made me want to come closer to her and take her in my arms and kiss her until the morning came. I can hear the thunder, and the heavy rain continued to fall, and I smiled when I looked at my wife prepares our dinner, and I realized I was starving when I heard my stomach grumbled. Madeline tensed up when I moved closer to her as she turned on the stove burner.

"Madeline, this is for you." I said, and she turned around, and she looked so adorable right now as I watched her face turned red, and I handed her the bouquet.

"Thank you, Hunter." Maddie said, and she closed her eyes while she breathed in the fragrance of the flowers. And I always miss this moment when she inhaled the scent of every bouquet I sent her, and I want to have her in my arms once more.

"Thank you, for this Maddie." I said as I took the last noodles, and I slurp down the soup, and Madeline smiled at me. She poured me some fresh watermelon juice on my glass that she made from her juice squeezer, and I felt so full after I drank my juice, and for the first time, I felt so happy after eating my dinner, and I know because I am sitting across from my wife and watching her beautiful face made me so happy.

I helped her clean the table while she washed the dishes. We walked together in the living room and sat beside each other on the sofa, and I know this is the right time to have a serious talk with Madeline.

"Maddie, can we talk now?" I asked, and I felt so happy when she slowly nodded at me.

"First, I want to say sorry again for not telling you anything, and I regretted everything I have done wrong to you, Madeline." I said, and I took her hand, and I felt so happy when she didn't pull it away, and I told her everything that happened, and I saw my wife's tears poured down on her lovely face, and I dried her tears with my hand.

"I hope you will give me another chance, Madeline, to make you believe I am still crazy in love with you, and let me show you how much I love you." I said, and she smiled.

"I am sorry too, Hunter, if I left our home when you needed me the most. But you hurt me, and you left on the night of my graduation day. You didn't even tell me where you were going, and what hurt me the most, you didn't even call me. I waited for you to come home on my graduation day, but you didn't even call me or text me. I was so worried about you, Hunter, and during that time, I made a promise to myself that I will never go back to you ever again because I thought you chose your ex over me." She said, and I couldn't take it anymore.

I pulled her closer to me, and I cupped her face, and I captured my wife's sweet lips. I want her to forget all the pain and heartaches I gave her, and I want to make her happy. I felt like I am flying with happiness as I kissed my wife passionately, and I felt so scared if she will push me away, but when I felt she kissed me back, I could no longer hold myself, I claimed Madeline's mouth with urgency, and I smiled when I heard her let out a soft moan. 

I kissed my wife while I ran my fingers through her shiny hair, and I can't stop myself from capturing his tongue with my mouth. I felt her hands curled on my neck as she pulled closer to me, and I carried my wife, and I let her sat on my lap as we continued exploring each other's mouth, and I can tell I couldn't get enough of Maddie, but she suddenly stopped and moved away from me, and she was touching her lips.

"I am sorry, Maddie, please don't get mad at me. I couldn't stop myself from kissing you." I said, and I panic because I don't want her to push me again. 

"Don't be silly. How can I get mad at you when it feels heavenly." She said, and I smiled as I looked at my wife with tenderness on my face.

"Does it mean you will give me another chance?" I asked, and my wife stared at me for a long while, and I can't stop the rapid beating of my heart as I wait for Madeline to answer my question.

"The truth is I hate myself right now that I didn't push you away the moment you captured my mouth, but instead, I do the opposite. I let you take over my sanity again. I am still angry with you for making me so miserable for how many days you didn't even look for me." She said, and I scooted closer to her.

"I know, my sweet, please, come back to me, Maddie." I said, but she shook her head, and it made me feel so terrified, and I couldn't believe this is happening right now because I thought she still wants me.

"I am not yet ready to come back to our house but to make you feel at ease, and I want to inform you I am not closing my door for you, Hunter, because to tell you honestly, I am still crazy in love with you too. Just give me time to heal myself, and don't worry, my heart still beats for you, and I know I can't love anyone else but you. You are the only man I want to spend the rest of my life with." She said, and my tears fall. I felt so happy that my wife is still in love with me, and I take her into my arms while we are both crying, and I cupped her face and looked at her.

"I am sorry for making you feel so miserable, Madeline, but I promise you this time, I will never hurt you again, and I vow to love you more, and allow me to show you how much I love you." I said.

"Thank you for giving me another chance to love you." I said, and I hugged my wife for a long time, and I let her lay on the sofa while her head is on my lap. I stroked her hair until she falls asleep, and I felt so happy, and once again, I felt complete. I know she is the only woman who can make me feel this way, and I am willing to wait for her. And knowing she is still in love with me is enough to make me more confident to face the world again. 

And I know this time I need Lily's help to make Madeline come home earlier than her original plan. I want to sleep at night beside my wife and wake up in the morning with Madeline wrapped in my arms, and even though she told me she would come back to our house, I can't wait to be with her again, but for now, I need to double my effort to win back my wife's affection. And I am willing to stay here with her until she is ready to come home to our mansion because I can't sleep another night alone without her by my side.
