Chapter 144: Dad has a blind date!
Estrella Berrocal left the chalet to get another meal, but the stray dog that had been eating at the door had disappeared.
Strange, had he left with just enough to eat?
Estrella Berrocal unconsciously looked around, but could only see the faded shadow of a black car, which she could not quite make out.
Could he have been taken by a dog dealer?
But that little stray dog was not a precious breed, not worth much.
Anyway, Estrella Berrocal poured the food into the small pot, fearing that the little stray would come back and run out of food.
…
Inside the black Maybach.
Santino Yepes looked wide-eyed in the rearview mirror at Adán Rouco in the back seat.
The dirty little dog was lying on the pants of Adán Rouco’s suit, soiling it, and although Adán Rouco disliked it, he just frowned and did not throw the dog away.
“Boss, why do you suddenly like puppies?”.
In the past, when Paulita clamored for a puppy, Adán Rouco was the first to disagree.
On the one hand, he feared that the dog would bite Paulita, and on the other hand, Adán Rouco had a cleanliness problem and could not stand having a dog running around the house.
Adán Rouco sunk his eyes and even raised his hand to pet the stray puppy, humming softly and denying, “I just want to take it to Paulita.”
Santino Yepes couldn’t believe … that the BOSS had just asked him to take the puppy on the sly, and that it was clearly on purpose.
The BOSS couldn’t be… jealous with a dog, could he?
So you stole this dog?
Adán Rouco took the floor and asked, “Did you just see if it was male or female?”.
“Macho, I think, I didn’t get a good look.”
Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed and his gaze deepened slightly.
A male, and she was stroking him so hard?
He had the affection and patience of a stray dog, and three sentences with him and he was cold-nosed and striking.
Adam Rouco became increasingly upset and threw the stray puppy, sitting on his lap, to the side of the car seat.
The shy little stray dog whimpered and looked at the cold Adam Rouco with dark doggy eyes, as if to impress him.
Santino Yepes couldn’t help but laugh, “Boss, this dog seems to have a good relationship with you, he seems to like you, he didn’t bark or bite since we took him in the car, he’s pretty good”.
Adán Rouco snorted through his nose: “Hey, is he being good?
He turned his eyes towards the poor little dog and raised his hand to tease it, only for the dog to open its mouth and let out an ouch!
Santino Yepes was surprised: “Boss, he didn’t bite you, did he?”.
One minute he says he’s a good dog and the next he’s misbehaving – on purpose?
Adam Rouco’s dark eyes were cold and stern as he stared at the dog, had he not dodged quickly, his finger would have been bitten off by the dog.
A nice guy? He thought he was just like Estrella Berrocal.
“Let’s go to the veterinary hospital to vaccinate this dog.”
Otherwise, if he bites Paulita, Adán Rouco will have to kill him.
Santino Yepes smiled and nodded: “Yes, let’s bathe and vaccinate him, the boss will be happy to take him to Paulita”.
…
Adán Rouco returned to La Villa Rouco, where Paulita and Dante were watching cartoons together in the living room.
As soon as Paulita saw Adán Rouco return, her little body jumped off the couch: “Papa!
Paulita’s eyes widened when she saw Adán Rouco followed by a little dog wagging its tail.
“The dog!”
Paulita, excited, knelt down to hug the puppy that was on the ground, when Adán Rouco warned her: “Be careful, don’t let it bite you”.
“Daddy, I’m so cute, the dog won’t bite me!”.
The puppy, held in Paulita’s arms, was docile and not at all polite, almost like two dogs compared to when he had just bitten Adam Rouco.
It is strange.
Paulita’s little white hands caressed the puppy: “Daddy, don’t you see how well he behaves? Daddy, what’s his name?
“Not yet.”
Paulita pondered with a frown, “What do you want to call it, dog?”.
Adán Rouco stared at the dog and suddenly spoke: “Let’s call him Leoncito”.
Paulita asked confused: “Daddy, it’s a dog, why is it called Little Lion? It’s not a lion.
Adán Rouco replied, “He looks like a lion cub when he misbehaves.”
Paulita thought nothing of it and said to the dog, “Okay then, you’ll be called Little Lion!”.
With that name, Adam Rouco was able to look at the male puppy, who was an eyesore, in a much nicer way.
When Adán Rouco came up to the studio, Paulita approached him and asked, “Papa, when is Estrella coming back?”
Adán Rouco looked at the little girl: “Do you miss her?”.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Paulita nodded her head and whined, “I haven’t seen Estrella in ages!”.
“If you want me to come back soon, Dad has an idea.”
Paulita’s big eyes sparkled and her little ears perked up, “What’s the solution?”.
Adán Rouco bent down and whispered something in the little girl’s ear.
Paulita immediately nodded, “Daddy, I’m going to talk to Grandpa!”.
Adán Rouco’s thin lips curved.
“Little Leon, come with me to see Grandpa, you don’t know him yet!”.
Paulita picked up the little lion, which was running around on the floor, and ran to Roberto Rouco’s studio.
Paulita pushed open the studio door and saw her grandfather standing at his desk, practicing his brush strokes, and called out to him, “Grandfather.”
Roberto Rouco looked at the door, put the writing in his hand and said with a friendly smile, “Ah, there’s your granddaughter.”
Roberto Rouco took off his glasses and saw that Paulita was holding a little dog in her arms. “Where did you get this dog, did your father give you permission to have a dog?”.
“He was just given to me by daddy, grandpa, his name is Little Lion.”
The old man laughed, “A good dog, what do you call a little lion?”.
“I don’t know, Dad gave it to me. Grandpa, are you looking for a stepmom for me?”
The old man was perplexed, “Isn’t that Estrella Berrocal gone? I don’t think your father would have been able to make it work with her, your father can’t be alone with you for the rest of your life, can he? Paulita, don’t worry, Grandpa will find you a mother who is good for you, not bad for you.”
Paulita puffed out her little mouth, stroked the little lion and said, “All right then, Grandpa, you must find me a good stepmother.”
“Now that you’ve said yes, tomorrow I’ll send your father on a blind date.”
Roberto Rouco took out a drop of photos and showed them to Paulita, “Good granddaughter, you choose for your father”.
Paulita looked at them and pointed to one of the prettiest: “Grandpa, this aunt is very pretty.”
Roberto Rouco took a look and saw that it was Rosa Galicia, the daughter of Grupo Galicia, who was qualified.
“Good, then I’ll ask your father to go on a blind date with this aunt tomorrow.”
“Well, Grandpa, then I’ll take the little lion!”.
Roberto Rouco was surprised that the little girl, who had always resented being given a stepmother, had taken the initiative to ask him to find her a stepmother today.
However, the old man thought to himself, Paulita is a child after all and probably needs a mother’s love.
When Paulita left the studio with the little lion in her arms, she ran back to Adán Rouco’s studio on the second floor.
“Dad, I talked to Grandpa and he said he wants you to go on a blind date tomorrow night!”.
