Chapter 127: A physical apology to make amends
Estrella Berrocal had left the hotel and had lost much of her mind to water sports, sitting under a large tree, cooling off in the sea breeze, when Demario Alejandro, who had just been water surfing, spotted her from a distance and approached her from the beach.
She was gawking when Demario Alejandro tapped her and startled her.
“Why are you walking quietly, you scared me.”
“I walk quietly, it is you who are too preoccupied with your own thoughts.”
Demario Alejandro sat down next to her and, seeing her sullen look, asked, “Why are you upset? Are you still unhappy about having gone on a trip?”
“Demario Alejandro, let me ask you, if a man hides another woman in his heart, will he equally accept a new relationship?”.
“It depends on the situation, for example, if the woman of my heart is married, if she is, I will surely stop thinking about her, or if the woman of my heart is not interested in me at all, I will surely continue to have a new relationship, I’m not going to be married for the rest of my life for an impossible person, right?”
Estrella Berrocal held her chin thoughtfully.
Demario Alejandro bumped her shoulder, “You didn’t have a fight with your boyfriend, did you? Where is he? How come you’re the only one who’s out?”.
“He … is not feeling well and is resting in the hotel.”
Demario Alejandro was not at all convinced and said, “Estrella, I’m telling you this because I see that you and I are more compatible. According to men’s intuition, I think your boyfriend doesn’t like you as much as you do, he seems quite indifferent to you and, well, quite hard to get along with.”
Estrella Berrocal was stunned to see that even a stranger, who had only known her for a few days and was not really a friend, could see that Adán Rouco did not like her….
He bit his lip and said, “He’s not like that, he’s just aloof, but when there are no other outsiders, he’s very affectionate with me.”
“Really? Then I don’t see it.”
Estrella Berrocal swallowed saliva and hesitantly asked, “Do you think he and I are, well, inappropriate?”
Demario Alejandro nodded sincerely, “Well, a little, he doesn’t seem to like you, normal boyfriends and girlfriends shouldn’t get along like that, what boyfriend and girlfriend has to even look at their boyfriend when they are having breakfast?”
Even Demario Alejandro could see how cautious she was with Adán Rouco and declined: “He gives me mixed feelings, sometimes I think he likes me a little, but sometimes I think he doesn’t like me at all, do you think I’m too active and daring and that’s why he doesn’t value me? ”
“The first thing you have to do is have a good idea of what you’re looking for. ”
Estrella Berrocal’s little face sank and, with her chin resting on the sea and the sand not far away, she murmured, “And how do I make him like me?”.
“Well, you can’t force that kind of thing, you’re stuck here, why don’t you come with me to the project, it’s a rare visit to Beach Island and you’re going to stay here wasting your time.”
Before Estrella Berrocal could answer, Demario Alejandro grabbed her hand directly and headed for the ticket booth.
…
Adán Rouco hung up the phone with Jonathan Tasis, the old scars in his heart wide open.
He looked at the time; Estrella Berrocal had been gone for an hour.
He called, and when it rang for a long time and there was no answer, Adán Rouco’s face darkened a little more.

At the end of the day, Estrella Berrocal and Demario Alejandro arrived back at the hotel wet.
Adán Rouco was leaving the hotel lobby to look for her, when he saw Estrella Berrocal and Demario Alejandro walking towards the hotel, laughing and talking.
The sun was setting on their faces, and the more harmonious they were, the more dazzling it was to Adam Rouco’s eyes.
Estrella Berrocal looked up and saw Adán Rouco staring at her with his hands in his pockets and his eyes cold.
She freezes and rushes over, “Did you come out to see me?”.
Adam Rouco’s dark eyes looked at her coldly before turning away without a word and heading straight for the hotel.
Was he angry?
“You don’t have to explain yourself to me.”
Estrella Berrocal was sure he was angry.
“I came to Beach Island for once and I don’t know what’s wrong with you, you’ve been angry since this morning, I asked you and you didn’t tell me anything, I wanted to stay at the hotel with you and you told me to leave…”
Adán Rouco looked at her coldly with downcast eyes, and she was already red-eyed and resigned.
Adam Rouco was already in a bad mood, and seeing her run off to have so much fun with Demario Alejandro, the anger in his heart was further restrained. “If you like to play sea sports, go and find someone else to go with you.”
At these words, Estrella Berrocal burst into tears of emotion and Adán Rouco instantly regretted it.
“Adán Rouco, I wanted to stay at the hotel with you, you kicked me out, I was afraid to come back and continue without you treating me well, that’s why I played hard to get until this moment, I don’t know what I did to piss you off or if you didn’t like me from the beginning, but who are you to be so mean to me?”.
Estrella Berrocal wiped away her tears, turned around and ran out.
She had not dared to let her emotions out all day, but the coldness of Adán Rouco’s attitude had immediately stung her.
Demario Alejandro saw her fleeing in tears and called out to her: “Star! Hey … you’re her boyfriend, how can you talk to her like that?”.
Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed and he addressed Demario Alejandro directly in a cold voice: “Stay away from her.”
“I … you …”
Adán Rouco ignored him and quickly went after Estrella Berrocal.
Demario Alejandro was puzzled: “What a bad temper! How can Estrella like such a freak? What …”
…
Adán Rouco reached Estrella Berrocal, grabbed her wrists and hugged her tightly.
Estrella Berrocal struggled: “Let me go! Didn’t you want to throw me out? Why are you coming after me now?
“I’m just in a bad mood.”
“Have I been the cause of you being in a bad mood? Why are you angry with me?”
Adán Rouco lowered his gaze, his thin lips fell on her forehead, and he apologized in a mute voice: “It’s my fault”.
Estrella Berrocal was stunned and tears rolled down her face.
It was the first time that Adán Rouco had apologized to her; although Adán Rouco had done bastard things to her before, he had never bowed his head to her as he was doing now.
“I do not accept your apology…”
He had been cold to her all day, he had been angry with her, and now a statement that it was her fault was the end of it? She wouldn’t accept it.
Although his mouth said so, in that voice there was no longer any insistence, the background was weak.
“If you don’t accept my verbal apology, will you accept my physical apology as compensation?”
The man lowered his eyes to look deeply at her, Estrella Berrocal’s originally low mood was thrown into disarray by this taunt, the little red face clenched his fist and punched him several times in the shoulder, “Rascal!”
