Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal had just entered the kitchen, Olivia and Dante were also there, Olivia smiled and said, “Estrella, good morning.

Good morning, sister-in-law.

Estrella picked up a clean glass and was about to drink when Olivia hurried to speak, -It’s yesterday’s water, it’s not very good for your health. I have hot water here, I’ll pour you a cup.

Estrella felt a little flattered, -Thank you.

After Olivia poured the water, Estrella was about to leave with her cup when a sudden force pushed her from behind, and the water in her cup suddenly spurted into Dante’s hand.

-Ah… ooooah! It hurts!

Dante screamed loudly as soon as he was scalded by the boiling water.

Adam, who was eating in the living room, rushed to the kitchen after hearing Dante’s screams. -What happened?

As soon as Adam entered, he saw Estrella holding an empty glass that was still steaming.

Olivia took Dante in her arms, holding Dante’s hand under the water flowing from the faucet, and said angrily, -Estrella, I know you don’t like me, but Dante is just a five-year-old boy, how can you be so cruel? It’s boiling water.

Estrella was stunned and, before she could react to what was happening, she heard Olivia’s reprimand.

With her eyes full of tears, Olivia turned to Adam for help, “Adam, can you take Dante to the hospital now? It will be a problem if he burns his hand.

Adam looked at Estrella with his black eyes, who was standing to the side. Estrella’s lips trembled as she fixed her eyes on him, she wanted to explain, -Adán, I… -…

But the man had already turned around and opened the cooler, took out a bag of ice and put it in Dante’s hand, and said calmly, -I’ll send you to the hospital.-.

They took Dante and quickly left the house.

Apparently, Adam did not even want to listen to her explanation, and had already unconditionally believed Olivia.

His heart was a little wounded.

Right now, it was clearly Olivia who had deliberately pushed her from behind, causing water to splash onto Dante’s hand.

Olivia, as a mother, is really ruthless, in order to make Adam hate her, she may even hurt her own son.

He took a deep breath and wiped the water off the floor with a rag when he heard a childish voice coming from the stairs.

-Dad! Dad! Dad! -Star? Star? Star! Where are you?

Estrella came out of the kitchen and saw Paulita stepping in her pretty yellow slippers, her little hands gripping the stair railing, carefully walking down the stairs.

Estrella feared she would fall, so she rushed over and took her little hand, “Angelita, you’re awake, let me brush your teeth and wash your face first, then we’ll have breakfast, is that okay?

Paulita nodded, looked around the empty room, frowned and asked, “Star, where is my daddy?

-Your dad… took your brother to the hospital.

-Why? Is he sick?

Estrella denied, -He scalded himself with the boiling water, it’s all my fault, it was my carelessness that scalded Dante.

If he had been careful with Olivia, Dante would not have been scalded.

Paulita looked at her little face and asked, “So, is my brother seriously injured?

-It shouldn’t be serious, but you probably won’t be able to touch the water with your hands for a long time.

When they reached the living room, Paulita said gently, “Star, get down.

Estrella was puzzled for a moment, but still squatted down. Paulita’s soft little hand touched her head and said in an adult way, -Estrella, I know you didn’t mean to hurt brother, don’t be sad.

Estrella was touched by the little girl’s affectionate gesture. But even Paulita was willing to believe her, how could Adam not even listen to her explanation?

He said with some sadness, -But, your father seems to be angry.

Paulita thought for a moment, -All right, I’ll tell daddy that it’s not Estrella’s fault, and daddy will soon stop being angry.

Estrella bent down, stroked Paulita’s hair and smiled, “No need, your feelings are sincere, I thank you.

But in her heart, the little girl thought, -We mustn’t let Daddy and Estrella fight!

She really likes Estrella to be her “stepmom”, if daddy breaks up with Estrella, she’s sure to bring those mean sisters back to be her “stepmom” again!

…

Inside the black Spyker.

Dante was crying for a long time and finally stopped his tears. Olivia hugged him, put the ice pack in his burned hand. She looked at the man driving and said, -Adam, I don’t know what I have done wrong for Estrella to hate me so much, she even splashed boiling water on Dante’s hand, Adam, if she takes advantage of my absence next time…-.

Before Olivia could finish her words, Adam interrupted her, -Sister-in-law, what just happened was just an accident, Estrella wouldn’t dare do something that would hurt Dante in front of me even if he didn’t like you anymore.-.

Estrella was not that stupid.

-But…

Olivia wanted to say something else, but when Adam interrupted her again, his tone was already a bit cold, “Sister-in-law, that’s the end of the matter for today.

Olivia is not stupid, this “ending”, he should have told her.

She had to keep quiet. Looking at Dante’s burned and peeled hand, hatred spread in his heart.

Dante must not be hurt by anything!

Estrella is going to work at the Rouco Group, humph, he will definitely kick her out!Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Even if Adam was suspicious of Dante’s injury, so what, at least now in the kitchen, Adam helped her.

…

Adán and Olivia had gone to the hospital, neither Roberto Rouco was home lately, so the task of taking Paulita to daycare was left in Estrella’s hands.

When she took Paulita to daycare, Estrella looked at the time, it was not early. On this road, now catching a cab was simply harder than picking up money in the dirt.

Today was his first day of work at the Rouco Group, and from the looks of it, he was probably going to be late.

Just as she was desperately looking for a cab, a Porsche pulled up in front of her. The windows rolled down and Estrella was startled.

-Ricardo? What are you doing here?

Ricardo Prats smiled at him, “Guess what, I’m telepathic with you, get in the car!

Estrella climbed into the car with alacrity, buckled her seat belt and said hopefully, “I’m glad I ran into you, otherwise I would have been late for work today. Hey, are you out for a walk this early?

Ricardo smiled mysteriously, “I didn’t go out to play, I was going to work at the Rouco Group and I happened to pass by and saw you.

That’s right…

-But why are you going to work for the Rouco Group instead of working for your own company?

Ricardo was about to blurt out, -For you, of course.

But he still held back, -The Prats Group doesn’t have a job that fits my specialty, ah, I had to beg my father for a long time before he let me work in the creative department of the Rouco Group.

But Ricardo’s deal with his father, Jairo Prats, was that if he did not achieve any accomplishments in his favorite art within a year, he would leave immediately for his family business and follow Jairo Prats honestly in business.
