Chapter 128 - 128 - Family Time
"Caden, you've been hugging mommy since we arrived but how about daddy? Are you still mad at me?" Jayden asked Caden who was still embracing me.
"No daddy. Can I hug you?" He answered.
"I loved that, son. Daddy missed you also. Come here!" Jayden took Caden in his lap, hugged him tight and kissed him on top of his head.
He was quiet while hugging Caden and I know he was thinking how he could protect him from my father. My heart was enjoying the scene, looking at my husband and my son together.
"This is what I love. This precious time with you and Caden. Soon, there will be four of us." He whispered.
I gave him a kiss on the check and hugged them tight. I was smiling. My heart was so happy that we are together.
"How about we go out? The three of us. We haven't done that since you came back." He said.
Caden's face became excited and was looking back and forth with me and his dad.
I giggled and patted his head. "You're excited."
"Because we never had time to play outside when we were away." He said in a low voice.
Jayden looked at me then to Caden. We haven't really had the chance to do that. We went to different countries and places but we were always at home. I was afraid that Jayden would find us so I never took Caden out.
Jayden held his chin and tilted it up, looking at his son's face.
"Daddy is here now. I promise I will take you and mommy wherever you want. For now, how about we go to town and stroll at the park. Or we could go to the amusement park. Do you like rides?" He asked.
Caden nodded, smiling widely to his father.
"Then amusement park it is. Owen, go to the nearest one. Tell the men to follow us and keep alert." He ordered.
Caden looked outside while the car was headed to the park. He was happy, I could see it in his face.
"You're smiling." Jayden murmured.
"Because Caden is happy." I answered.
"How about you? Are you happy being with me?"
"Yes! Being with you and Caden makes me the happiest woman. Sometimes I still think of those years when we are not together and I was thankful that you didn't give up on us. Thank you, love."
"You didn't give up either. I should be the one thanking you, for loving someone like me." He said before he leaned forward and pressed his lips into mine.
"I love you, my wife."
"I love you, my husband."
We were kissing when Caden suddenly shouted.
"We're here!"
We laughed when we saw him excited and jumping with joy.
"Let's have family time from now on. At least once a week. Then once everything's fine, we could go on a trip. I know you've been to other countries, let's go to a place that you haven't been to. Do you have a dream destination?" He asked.
"Iceland!" Caden blurted.
"Iceland?" Jayden asked, frowning.
"Mommy always wanted to go there. She said she wanted to see the northern lights." Caden continued.
Jayden turned to me and asked. "Is it true?"
I nodded. "It is. It was my dream ever since I was little. I wanted to go there with the man I love." I said, staring at him.
"Then I will take you there. Let's go there with Caden. Just the three of us."
"You will?"
"Of course! I'll take you wherever you want."
"How about you?" I asked.
"I wanted to go to where you want to go." He answered.
"I mean, don't you have a place you want to see?" I asked.
He chuckled. "No matter how beautiful the place was, if you're not there, it is nothing to me. You make my world beautiful." He said.
I wanted to scream from happiness. He really knows how to flatter my heart.
"Mommy, you're blushing. Daddy, you are already married, why do you still say things like that to mommy?" Caden asked.
"Son, if you love someone, you have to tell and show her how much she means to you. No matter what age, no matter how long you've been together. Whether you just became a couple or already married, don't forget to make her happy for the rest of your lives. I vowed to your mom that I will love her for eternity. If she's happy, I am happy." Jayden explained.
My heart was beating fast and dancing with joy. This man really makes me fall in love with him over and over again.
We arrived at the parking lot and before we went out, the security team made sure that it was safe to get out. I know we caught the attention of the people but we are not sure when father will attack us so we are being careful.
Caden wanted to ride the carousel first so we did. I rode with him while Jayden just stood beside us. I know he doesn't want to be away from us so he wanted to be closer to us.
We rode in about ten attractions inside the park that allow kids like Caden. We enjoyed the shooting games where you can get prizes like stuffed toys and candies. Jayden won every game so Caden got a lot of toys.
When we got tired, we sat on a bench while Caden ate his ice cream.
"This is fun." I said.
"It's fun because we're together." Jayden commented.
"Love? Can I ask you a favor?"
He frowned and looked at me. "Anything. What is it?"
"Can I go to school and finish college?" I asked.
I wanted to ask him about it for a long time but I just didn't have the chance since a lot happened.
"Of course, you can! Love, you can do anything you want, don't hesitate to tell me." He answered.
"Thank you!" I exclaimed, kissing him on the cheek.
"We also need to take Caden to school. Maybe in Golden Oak since Zoey and the Wilson twins were already there." He said.
I nodded in agreement. I know Caden would also like to study where the twins are and he'll be happy to be with Alira.
We continued our day in the amusement park and finally decided to ride the ferris wheel.
