章節 26: Chapter 25
Adelyn continued her acting career even after her marriage. Nicholas and her in-laws were always supportive of all her decisions. She was getting her makeup done for the next shot when a message popped on her cellphone.
The message was from her dear husband, Nicholas, and it stated, "I'm coming." As always, his messages were short and direct to the point.
In all these years of marriage, nothing had changed when it came to Adelyn and Nicholas' personalities.
Nicholas was still stern, aloof, and ruthless, whereas Adelyn was outgoing, childish, and mischievous. He loved Adelyn a lot.
But his way of expressing it was quite different and subtle. The language he was using was an act of service, quietly doing things for her.
She always kicked her blanket in sleep and caught a cold during winter. Nicholas would always cover her with a blanket making sure she was warm.
Whenever she went to shoots, Nicholas had ordered the servants to deliver her hot home-cooked meals.
She had attended an award show once, and the next day there was an article in the newspaper where they compared her dress to the other actress and mocked her style. Nicholas was so angry that he had ordered clothes from famous designers all over the world.
For the next event, Adelyn wore better dresses than the top-tier actresses, and her photos were splashed in all the magazines. She had asked Nicholas when he wanted to have kids, and he had replied he had always been ready.
According to him, children were God's gift, and there was nothing to prepare. Adelyn liked working, but she was not a career-oriented woman who thought having a child may put her career in jeopardy, she would rather have her own family.
So she agreed with Nicholas, and they had stopped using any protection. After a year of marriage, her period was delayed, and when she took the pregnancy test, it immediately came out positive.
When she informed Nicholas, he had hugged her tightly and had not spoken for a few minutes. She had broken the hug and asked him whether he was happy. He had just nodded his head and planted kisses all over her face.
Whenever she had felt tired or uneasy during the pregnancy, she vented all her frustration on Nicholas. He had calmly listened and never lost his temper with her. He tried to cut down his work or worked from home to accompany his wife at all times.
She had once joked that her sister-in-law Aurora got foot massages from her husband, so from that night on, Nicholas also started to give her foot massages.
If the baby woke up in the middle of the night and Adelyn was still sleeping, Nicholas would take him out of the room, so as to not disturb her. Once she had woken up in the middle of the night, and there was no sight of her husband or child, so she got worried.
She had gone downstairs searching for them and saw Nicholas talking to the child. Curious to know what he was saying, she hid behind the curtain.
He said in a stern voice, "You should not trouble your mom. She went through so much pain giving birth to you."
Surprisingly the baby became silent. He was tired from all the crying, or he was scared of his father.
Nicholas was staring at the child, and the baby was also staring back with equal intensity.
"Good boy. Remember, it's our duty to always protect your mom," Nicholas had spoken as if the newborn had actually understood him.
She had found this scene quite funny, yet so heart-touching. It melted her heart to see the care and concern of her husband. Yet how can he threaten his child like that? The child was blankly blinked his eyes.
Adelyn was shooting when she saw Nicholas entering the premises. He was as handsome and captivating as the day they met.
He was clad in a three-piece suit and had a poker expression. She was quite surprised when she saw another figure beside him.
It was their six-year-old son Daniel. He was moody, introverted, and quite similar to Nicholas.
Adelyn waved at her husband, acknowledging his presence, and then, in a professional manner, completed the shoot.
As soon as work was done, she came running into Nicholas's arms.
"Slow down. You will trip with those high heels," Nicholas returned the hug.
"I missed you," Adelyn said, breaking the hug.
"You just saw him this morning," Daniel replied in an annoying tone which earned a chuckle from Nicholas.
"You are not at all cute. How come you decided to grace us with your presence?" Adelyn ruffled his hair.
"I didn't want to come, but dad forced me," Daniel complained. His father had picked him up from school and said they were going out for dinner.
A few of the crew members gathered to see Daniel. He was a very good-looking kid. Whenever she posted his pictures on social media, people left comments praising him.
The crew members started to pinch his cheeks and kept on giving him compliments. Daniel hardly visited his mother's workplace as he hated the attention and spotlight just like his father.
He did not like when his mother made him dress up and pose for Instagram pictures. But no matter how much he refused, Adelyn did not take no for an answer and took at least one picture of him.
When he went and complained to Nicholas, his father had smiled as if remembering something and said his mother is quite persistent and achieves whatever she sets her eyes on, so it's better to give in.
Daniel had groaned hearing the response, seriously his dad had no backbone, always listening to his mom and supported all her silly antics.
His mother acted quite childish and was very mushy with his father. His dad looked so muscular and even worked out at the gym to be strong, yet he was petrified to talk back to his mother.
Daniel's cheeks started to hurt after all the pinching, and he hid his face in his father's embrace.
"Your son is so adorable. If you say yes, I will sign him for my next project," One of the crew members said.
"Yes, he seems quite intelligent for his age. It will be easy to recite lines," another person added.
"Thanks for the offer, but my son hates being in front of the camera," Adelyn politely declined. The staff member reminded her to inform him if she ever changed her mind.
Once everyone left, Daniel scowled at his mother and said, "Mom, if you make me act, I will run away."
"Oh really? Where will you go?'' Adelyn asked in amusement.
After thinking for a moment, Daniel replied, " I will go to Aunt Aurora's house."
"Don't worry. No one will push you into acting," Nicholas squeezed his son's hand and assured him. His mother also nodded her head, indicating she agreed with his father.
Seeing his parents are serious and that he can trust them, he relaxed.
