Marrying My Daughter's Guardian (COMPLETE)

Chapter 13

MATTHEW'S POV

It's late but I couldn't sleep. It's been days that I am bothered with Brandon's claims on Sabina. With a glass of brandy, my head couldn't think straight. Atty. Monde discussed the chances of winning the custody claim of Brandon on Sabina. I had to consult him to get ready and be well-informed of what might happen in court.

"Even if under the Family Code, custody is granted to the mother when the child is below seven years old, Brandon could contest that by proving that Maddie was an unfit mother" he explained.

Sabina is my family and I can't let her go just like that. I've seen her first step, heard her first words and almost all her firsts. She's an angel. 

"So, how can we counteract such defense attorney?" I querried. Knowing the facts around how Maddie left Sabina six years ago, it tainted her motherhood.

"Maddie should prove that she is a fit mother. She has to convince the jury that she is capable of taking care of her daughter and that there's no chances of any harm that the child could be exposed if she will be with her. It would be better if she could show a good family of her own."

"Like looking for a good husband, you mean attorney?"

"Exactly. By proving that she has a good family, a good husband to that effect, she'll have the better chance of winning the case."

Those words strike me most. Maddie has to find a good husband in order to get her daughter's custody. How on earth could we find a good husband for her?

"Sspplaasshhhhhh..."

Someone has just dived into the water. I have an idea  who would that be, from time to time she uses the swimming pool.

Maddie catched her breath upon reaching the surface. The cool water quench the hot temperature. Unknowing that someone has been watching her, she made few laps from end to end. Tired a bit, she sipped the lemonade on the side. She laid back watching the stars in the sky. For a moment she closed her eyes and murmuring to herself.

I just watched her. As if some gravity pull that I can't get my eyes off her. There's this something that makes her different from those women lurking on me. Even after giving birth to Sabina, her body's curves were perfect. Her two-piece swim wear showcased her sexiness. Oh damn, what am I now, a peeping Tom?

Maddie made another set of back-to-back swim. After her last lap, she decided to stop. She felt conscious of my presence. I was standing near her robe. For several times she'd been using the pool, this is the first time I've come face to face with her exposed in such revealing look.

"Here, you may catch colds", I reach out for her robe.

Immediately, she put on her robe. I was still holding my glass of brandy. and good Lord, I didn't know what makes me feel hot. Was it the brandy? the weather? the picturesque in front of me?
