Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella chased Paulita angrily and ran quickly up to the second floor in the children’s room.

The little girl had already climbed into the pink toddler bed, hugging a Peppa Pig doll and cowering under the covers, crying sadly.

Estrella approached and sat on the edge of the bed, comforted Paulita saying, “Before, daddy didn’t attend the activities at school, maybe because he had something very important to do, don’t cry, okay?

The little girl lifted the blanket angrily and sat on the bed with red eyes, pitifully like an abandoned bunny, -Daddy likes brother better than me! I don’t want Daddy now!

It is normal for children to compare themselves, but it is true that her father was too biased in this case, and that saddened Paulita.

Estrella reached out, embraced the little girl in her arms, raised her hand to tenderly wipe away her tears, and said softly, -Don’t cry anymore, okay? If you keep crying, your eyes will swell up.

-Star, daddy is mine, but why does daddy prefer my brother, is it because I’m naughty?

The little girl frowned, distressed and bewildered, and raised her wet little face to look at Estrella. Seeing that Paulita was so sad, Estrella felt more regretful.

What should I answer the little girl’s question? By telling her it was because Dante was her father’s son?

Estrella just had to change the subject and try to divert his attention, -Daddy said that next time he would also come to your activity at school-.

-That’s because I’m angry that’s why Dad said so…. -As soon as Dante said so, dad agreed to participate in his activities! I asked dad several times before, but he never came -.

Paulita blinked her eyes, and tears fell, looking at Estrella who didn’t know what she should do.

The girl blew her nose and sat down, saying pitifully, -Brother has aunt, dad, but I have neither mom nor dad …-.

At the end of the sentence, the little girl burst into full tears, unable to stop.

Estrella took her in her arms and caressed the little girl’s head, kissing her milky white forehead down and saying, -They don’t want you, I’m here, I love you-.

-Star… is this what hurts Paulita the most?

-Well, what I love most is Paulita, so don’t cry, okay?

The little girl cried loudly, and after Adam took a big step up, he only saw the little girl crying with a handful of snot and tears, so he couldn’t help but frown.

-Paulita, I don’t want to say that, of course daddy’s favorite is you.

The angry little girl, snorting and cowering in Estrella’s arms, -I don’t want daddy anymore, daddy go away!

Before, Adam did not go to Paulita’s activities because her father, Roberto wants to attend them every time. Paulita is cute and obedient so her grandfather spoiled her a lot, the old man was eager to take care of his granddaughter, besides, Adam was very busy, so after Paulita could walk and talk more fluently, he would leave his daughter to her grandfather to take care of her.

This old man, retired from the military district, does only three things at home every day, raising fish and playing chess with his granddaughter, often taking his granddaughter to visit the homes of his comrades.

But Adam did not expect me to give Paulita the illusion of lacking parental love.

Adam sat by the bed and patiently explained to his daughter, -Before, I want to go to the activities at her school, but your grandfather always tells me he wants to go. Grandpa really likes Paulita, besides, your cousin hasn’t had a father since she was little, but this time Dante told the kids in the class that Paulita’s father was her father, and if I don’t go, Dante would be humiliated. Paulita wants to make Dante feel sad?

The little girl twitched her little nose and cried again, rubbing her eyes with her two fleshy little white hands, – I don’t want to make Dante sad…. but I don’t want to share my daddy with Dante! –

Estrella frowned and couldn’t help but say, “Adam, Paulita is so sad, do you have to force her like this?

Talking to children is very difficult for Adam, sometimes women understand the inner world of children better, like Estrella, who is obviously much better at making Paulita calm down.

-Paulita, what your father means is that he really wants to go to your school’s activity, but Grandpa also wants to go, so Dad had to let Grandpa go, and because Grandpa is not willing to go to his cousin’s activity, your father had to go instead.

When Estrella explained it this way, the little girl in his arms actually stopped crying little by little, her little hand wiped away the tears at random, and she asked with a sob, -So daddy, do you like Dante better?

Adam hastened to say, -Of course I love you more, you are the most precious to me.

Paulita looked at him as the man picked up the remote control and turned on the television hanging on the wall, on which there was a video of him taking care of Paulita.

Estrella’s and Paulita’s eyes were drawn to the video, on the screen, Adam looked like he had just gotten off work, still wearing formal clothes and a suit, but in his arms he was holding a little girl, preparing powdered milk and patiently feeding her. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of pampering and affection.

The tape is very long, and records many important moments when his daughter first called her father, when she just walked, and when she went to school on her first day, all taken by Adam with his camera.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Estrella was stunned, at first she thought Adam was patriarchal, but after watching this video, it seems that it really is a misunderstanding….

The man in the video, very different from the man in front of her, is a loving father.

Adam watched the video, smiling, -Before you were two years old, I took care of you almost every day, then grandpa started taking care of you after you left for kindergarten, you were fluent and could walk on your own without dad’s help.

After that, the old man enjoyed taking care of his granddaughter and refused to leave him, before he gradually relinquished this task.

Paulita’s little mouth flattened and her little body threw herself into Adam’s arms, -Daddy, I love you, what I said a moment ago is just to get mad at you!

Adam smiled tenderly as he held the little girl tightly in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her small forehead, saying softly, -Daddy will always love you-.

Estrella watched this scene, and somehow, her heart crumbled in the sand and softened to the bone.

The little girl blew her nose, the dirty little face rubbed against Adam’s pretty face, giving a nice big kiss, the little hand hugged Estrella’s neck again, giving a kiss.

Paulita looked with satisfied eyes at the two adults, -Daddy, I don’t want to sleep alone tonight, I want to sleep with you and Estrella and I have to sleep in the center-.

Adam’s dark eyes were dazed, -Paulita, Daddy’s bed and comforter aren’t big enough to sleep on-.

On the contrary, the girl is smart, curving her big eyes and smiling, -I am very small and tiny, it is enough to sleep!-.

Estrella agrees, if Paulita sleeping in the middle, this man will not bother her and then he would say that she is seducing him.

-Paulita is so sad tonight, don’t deny her!” Estrella said.

The man’s face changed as he looked at her.
