Chapter 32: This Woman
The man unconsciously lightened his steps, entered the children’s room next to the crib, gently moved Paulita’s arms away from around Estrella, and then lifted Estrella, though it was a gentle movement, still, it woke the woman in his arms.
Her eyes were sleepy, with clear dreamy features, her arms unconsciously wrapped around his neck, she tucked her head into his chest, and murmured, -Dad …-.
-…-
Adam smiled.
This woman, does she think he is her father? Does he look that old?
After taking Estrella out of the children’s room, she returned to her bedroom.
Adam carried the woman onto the bed and as he was about to cover her with the blanket she grabbed his hand and placed it on her cheek talking sleepily, -Don’t go …-.
Her soft, pampered voice, in turn, made his heart drop slightly, he stood on the edge of the bed, letting her take his hand as he spoke again in a dreamy voice, -Daddy …. don’t go.
Adam frowned.
When Estrellase was completely asleep, Adam gently withdrew his hand and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When he finished showering and got into bed, the woman lying next to him automatically wrapped herself around him, sleeping inelegantly, with her arms around his neck and her feet wrapped around his waist, hanging onto him like a little kangaroo, this sleeping position was really the same as Paulita.
I dare say that this little girl has inherited it from her.
But the woman in his arms was not Paulita, and he has feelings for her.
Adam observed the sleeping woman with a deep look, not knowing whether to laugh or get angry at such behavior.
Every time she moves, she is playing with fire.
Adam gets nervous, frowned, and stared at her, calling her name in a cold voice, -Star-.
But the woman did not hear him, she mumbled twice her pink lips as she slept, opening and closing them slightly revealing her white teeth.
Adam went blank.
-Star, go downstairs and sleep alone.
She did not heed his command, but grunted and frowned and grumbled, -I don’t want to … -.
-…-
Adam raised his head, looked up at the ceiling and sighed deeply.
I’ve never seen such a -sassy- woman before.
But deep inside his heart he felt something for her.
And this sensation feels bigger and bigger with their movements …
Adam had plenty of restraint, but he couldn’t stand it.
In the midst of her sleep, Estrellase felt a warmth on her lips that pressed down on her to the point that she could hardly breathe.
He frowned in bewilderment and opened his eyes and saw a magnified, handsome face.
-ufff…!
He panicked and pushed the man in front of him with all his might.
When Adam let go, he raised his hand and slapped the right side of the man’s face fiercely!
-You… you scoundrel!
How dare he abuse her when she was asleep!
But when she realized, and looked closely at the man standing in front of her, it was not someone else, but it was … Adam.
He hit …
The man’s arms rested on the sides of her cheeks, he watched her with a forceful gaze, and without saying a word, it was as if he had so much rage that he was about to explode!
Estrella felt very embarrassed and said shyly, -I … thought he was a pervert …-.
The man took him by the chin, “Pervert? What kind of pervert would notice you?
Estrella was about to let go, you …
But he didn’t dare say why he kissed her if she was so demanding AND while she was sleeping!
Adam’s black eyes were clear, as if he could if he knew what he was thinking about, and coldly answering, -You were in my arms and you refused to get off, do you think I would sleep with a sleeping corpse?-.
I really wasn’t lying, Adam wasn’t interested in a sleeping corpse.
Estrellase embarrassed and said, “I was asleep, how should I know what I was doing? Don’t blame me.
But when she stood up and looked down on the man’s cheek with her slap, she felt guilty.
-I’d better go to sleep in Paulita’s room….
As she was about to get up when the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her backwards, staggering, falling into his arms and they looked at each other.
-…-
Heart beating fast.
Why is she so nervous? …
Adam gave her a look, let go of her wrist and turned over to lie down on his side of the bed. -If you go to sleep with her now, you’ll wake the family and they’ll think we had a fight.
Estrella nodded.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Before this she was very sleepy, but now she is wide awake, fussing and playing with the hair on her forehead.
After about ten minutes of mutual silence, Estrella broke the calm and stammered, asking, -Are you… free tomorrow night?
The man responded reluctantly, -I don’t have time.
He has an important commitment tomorrow night, he has a dinner with representatives of GK Group firms.
She nodded silently, she was very nervous thinking that, if he didn’t go, did she really have to pay homage before Irene?
Undeterred, he asked again, “So, … what time are you coming back tomorrow night? I … can wait for you.
Adam suddenly turned his head, examined her firmly, -Why are you going to wait for me?
Uh …
What kind of look she was giving, as if she was going to wait for me to come back to do something indecent, blushed Star’s face.
-No, nothing, it’s just that one of my sisters has asked me to go to a party and everyone is bringing male escorts…. Forget it, since you’re not available, I’ll go alone!
Adam’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was a probing look in his eyes, -Would you like me to come with you?-.
-Ah…? If you don’t want to go to…
But there was another voice in the head that -shouted and shouted-: Star what are you thinking, now don’t be ashamed, tell him that you really want to go with him!
