Mommy, Where's Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return

Chapter 60: I Love You

The middle of the week was surprisingly busier for the hotel. Both restaurants of the First Diamond Hotel were packed with guests.

It was thanks to Belinda Lopez's feature of the hotel on a Wednesday morning that reservations came through in the afternoon and in the evening itself.

On a Thursday night, The Pearl Diamond Restaurant was crowded!

Samantha wound up coming home very late in the evening that day, fulfilling the very last order, not wanting to leave her team on their very first rewarding night.

Entering the master bedroom, Samantha greeted her husband, "Hey there, handsome."

"Hmmm. Is it normal for the wife to come home much later than her husband?" Ethan answered while putting aside his laptop.

Samantha chuckled and climbed right next to him on the bed. She, herself, warranted for a kiss, crashing into his arms and lips.

That prompted Ethan to wrap his arms around Samantha and caressing her angelic face.

As they kissed, Samantha spoke, "I'm so tired today." She pecked on his lips again before telling him, "I just want to keep kissing you the whole night."

"You should have let me come and see you during lunch break," told Ethan.

After another kiss on his warm lips, Samantha smiled and said, "We were so busy. We'll have to agree to change our lunch meeting if you want to see me at the hotel. Say about two in the afternoon?"

"Hmmmm. Okay," he answered before locking lips with her again.

Getting lost in their passionate kisses, Samantha softly moaned as Ethan's hands turned restless. She then let go to say to him, "Honey, I - I have been meaning to tell you."

"I." Samantha's face turned red as she looked straight into his intense brown eyes. "Ethan, I wanted to tell you."

"What?" Ethan probed, seeing her reluctance.

"I wanted to tell you that." Her face burned brighter red as she resumed, "That I love you."

She closed her eyes, resting her face against his when she added, "I am sure about it now."

The next thing Samantha felt were kisses all over her face, including on her neck. Ethan pecked on her lips once more and asked, "Tell me again."

"I love you," she repeated before giggling.

"Again," he requested.

Samantha opened her eyes and stared into his. She smiled as she touched his athletic face and told, "I love you, Mr. Ethan Wright; my husband and the father of my children... I love you."

Ethan wound up covering Samantha's lips so fervently. As he parted her lips, their tongues danced carelessly with each others'.

The heat of the moment led Ethan to search under her dress, but his hands were halted by Samantha's palms. She smiled and told him, "Ethan, I... Earlier today, I had my period."

A wave of dismay flashed in Ethan's face. He gulped as he asked, "What?"

"I had my period earlier this afternoon," she had to repeat while rolling her eyes.

"You - you aren't pregnant?" Ethan probed with a frown.

Samantha leaned back, completely taken aback by his words. She asked, "You - you wanted me to get pregnant?"

"Have I ever pulled out? I made sure I left every bit of my troopers inside," Ethan pointed out. "Are you sure?"

"Your troopers?" Samantha echoed, giggling at his term.

"I am serious, Sam," Ethan said. "I want another child. I want to experience it for myself."

Samantha embraced Ethan again. She took heavy breaths before telling, "Ethan, there are so many things that I want to do now... now that I am working for your hotel."

"Our hotel," He pointed out.

"Fine," said Samantha. "The point is, I want to achieve so much more before... before we have another child."

She pulled away and told, "I hope you understand. I want to at least bring The First Diamond Hotel to fame before I start taking on leave of absence." With a sigh, she added, "Growing a child inside isn't easy. with Kenzie and Kyle, I was pretty lucky I had rest most of the time since I did not have work back then."

With another peck on his lips, she added, "You understand, right?"

Ethan exhaled deeply. His mouth twitched before he finally spoke, "Okay. I understand. Nine months?"

"Pfft! Haha! No. Maybe, at least one year or more?" Samantha proposed. "Besides, we have two lovely children."

"Okay, one year," said Ethan. He frowned and seemingly retracted, "Unless there is an accident."

That made Samantha lean back and protested, "What accident?"

"Nothing," Ethan answered. "Okay, hon. I understand. One year it is."

"Thank you, Ethan. I just love you," she said.

Caressing her face, Ethan told, "I love you and I love our children."

After relishing sweet kisses and hugs from Ethan, she acted to leave his side and said, "Let me take a shower."

"Wait, tell me again," Ethan requested, keeping Samantha in his hold. "Tell me you love me."

"I love you, Mr. Ethan Wright," she said while chuckling. "And for a scary man, I think its cute how you want me to say it again and again."

"Again," he pleaded while closing his eyes and resting his face on the side of her neck.

"Ethan, I love you." Samantha turned to kiss his cheek and said, "Now, let me go have my shower."

A hiss left Ethan's lips, and he clarified, "Are you sure you have your period?"

"Yes!" She answered while walking towards the bathroom.

Heartbeats later, when Samantha came out of the shower, she was stunned to see her children already in position on the bed. Her eyes widened at Ethan and she heard him say, "They miss you."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Hi Mommy, why did you come home so late?" Kyle probed with sleepy eyes.

"It was busy today, sweetie." Samantha reached for Kyle and pecked on his forehead. "I miss my little Ethan."

She walked to the other side of the bed and settled under the sheets where Kenzie was lying down. She embraced her little girl and said, "I miss my little me too."

"Goodnight, Mommy," Kenzie said while offering a kiss to Samantha. "I love you."

"Goodnight, Kenzie, and Kyle. I love you too," answered Samantha.

"Goodnight, Daddy. I love you," said Kenzie.

"I love you too, Kenzie. I love you, Kyle. Goodnight," answered Ethan.

"Goodnight, Mommy, and Daddy," Kyle responded. "I love you all, including Kenzie."

"Oh, yeah. I love Kyle too," Kenzie said while giggling.

While the children were closing their eyes, Ethan looked at Samantha from the other side of the bed. He said, "I also love, Mommy."

Samantha's eyes were already closed, but with Ethan's words, she smiled and looked up to him. She told, "I love, Daddy too."

Kyle yawned and declared, "So glad we found Daddy."

"Yeah," said Kenzie with her eyes closed.

While the happy family was taking their sleep that night, someone from the military camp was having the worst night of her life!

"A rising star, living in the military camp under the shelter of her adoptive father, sexually gets involved with a director and a producer in order to get a role in the big screen!" Annie Davis read the article that was recently posted on the internet. She turned to her mother and asked, "Mother, what do I do?"

"They did not mention the name, Annie! Stop being so paranoid!" Scolded Catherine Davis.

Both of them were inside Annie's room, reading the article that became posted a few hours ago. They were both shocked to read the details included in the article, and while there was no name mention, Annie was the only starlet that lived in the military camp.

"I thought you were being careful, Annie!" Catherine scolded.

"Mother, I was." Annie answered. "And can you keep your voice down? Dad might hear you."

"This is all normal. Most starlets gets their shot by sleeping with the director or the producer. I - I am just one of them," Annie muttered.

"Oh, my god! What if... What if Clayton reads about this?!" Fear suddenly crept into her mind, recalling Ethan Wright's threat. "It must have been Ethan Wright! It could only be Ethan!"

Anger easily filled her eyes as Annie declared, "I'm going to make sure that Samantha pays! She must have influenced Ethan to have someone do this!"

"Shut up!" Catherine warned. With a sigh, she said, "I'm going to convince your father to speak to Samantha about this. Don't worry, maybe this issue will die down... For now, stop being in contact with your director and producer."
