Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella was forced to lift her tear-soaked face. Teary eyes looked up at the handsome face of the man she pulled close to her. Adam’s thin lips were softer than she thought. She was suspended at that moment and stood there like a fool. This kiss was not deep nor was it very sensual, but it made her heart beat faster.

Adam released her, his black eyes looked deep into her, the corners of his thin lips lifted, -So, can you calm down?

Estrella lost control and shouted many unreasonable words at Adam a moment ago. At that moment, she didn’t know how she responded for the kiss, she couldn’t even get angry. She just turned red her face and stood there, lowering her head and biting her lip, she felt so embarrassed that she wished to hide in any corner.

The man lowered his gaze a little, looked at the woman’s pretty curved white collar, teased her, “You really don’t want the villa?

-…-

Star was very embarrassed, but she made up her mind, forced herself to raise her head and gave a smile to Adam, -I…. I just said something angry. You’re magnanimous, you can pretend I didn’t say anything…-….

The man looked at her face with a “flattering” smile of hers, he frowned with discontent, -Your smile is very ugly.

-…-

The man put his hands in his pockets, turned around in disgust.

Star subconsciously reached up and touched her still warm lips, muttering that if she was ugly, why did he enjoy that kiss a moment ago?

-Where is the bathroom?

He looked down at her with his hands stuffed in his pockets, Star lowered the hand that was touching her lips, she didn’t want him to misinterpret that she was thinking about that kiss.

-Bathroom? The bathroom is upstairs.

The man went up the stairs as usual, he didn’t think he was a guest. Estrella called out to him, -There is a bathroom downstairs, you can use the one downstairs…-.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Before she finished speaking, Adam did not hesitate to go upstairs, he left a sentence in a cold voice, “I want to take a bath.

Bathe? Did this man bathe during the day?

Estrella chased after him, stopped him and said vigilantly, -If you want to take a bath, you can go home and take a bath. It’s not appropriate here, and I don’t have any shower gel for you…”.

In front of Adam’s cold, sharp eyes, the more she spoke, the more she was afraid. His gaze seemed to say to her, “Go on, go on lying,” Estrella’s voice gradually lowered.

Adam looked at her coldly. -Which room is the bathroom?

She pointed to her bedroom, biting her lips because she didn’t want to answer, -It’s in my bedroom…-.

Adam cared too much about cleanliness. Besides it was summer, when he had hit Ivan, he was sweating a little. But for Adam the most unbearable thing was that he caught the strong smell of Ivan’s man perfume. With Adam’s taste, the smell of this strong compound perfume was very vulgar and very pungent, he couldn’t stand it for a moment.

Star listened to the sound of the bath and silently complained that a man bathed in the day, he was too fussy.

She glanced over and saw a little old style iron box sitting in her desk drawer, she had found it when cleaning several days earlier.

He opened the little iron box, it contained everything Ivan had given him.

In a Christmas card he got for Ivan it said,

-Dear Star, I want to be with you forever and spend every Christmas with you. Merry Christmas.

She was silly, she had believed these words of love, it had moved her even had tears in her eyes, now thinking about Ivan’s disgusting behavior, Star just felt that these things as if it were a hard slap, slapped severely in her face, so that she fully knew the essence of Ivan’s womanizing.

In the corner of the little iron box was a platinum ring.

Yes, this ring was also a birthday present he gave her for Ivan. What did he say at the time? He said only to marry her. What was the result? He was with Irene secretly, helped Doria and her daughter to steal the money, caused her father’s suicide by building jumping.

She taking the platinum ring, the hatred in her heart almost crushed it.

Three years before, she was desperate, she felt disappointed in her whole life, the betrayal of Ivan, Doria and her daughter made her turn away from love. When she was at the Academy of Art in Paris, some boys expressed their love for her, but she pretended not to understand their intentions, finally the admirers lost interest.

How many loves can be trusted in the world?

As she was thinking Adam came out of the bathroom. She looked back and saw his strong, lean bare chest. He came out with only a white towel covering his lower body, they didn’t put shoes on either. Her heart was beating fast, her face heated, she turned her head away from looking at him anymore.

But the man had no shame, he generously approached her. And he saw a platinum ring on the desk, took it with his long fingers and looked at her with his cold black eyes. Star still did not know what he tried to do, she saw that he threw the ring straight out the window.

Star was confused, “Why are you throwing my thing away?

-What? Do you still love the man who tried to rape you?

Defining Ivan as a man was a good attitude on Adam’s part. In his eyes, Ivan was like a low-level creature.

Star was not hurt by the loss of the ring, “It’s mine anyway. Why are you throwing away my thing without my permission?

After being with him for a few days, she understood how autocratic Adam was. She frowned and said, “Adam, although you are the owner, I am your employee, but you have no right to make decisions for me. Our relationship is limited to pretend marriage!

The man’s black eyes became darker, his long arms embraced her waist, and he pulled her to his chest.

-I do not allow my wife to keep a ring from another man.

Estrella subconsciously answered in a low voice, -I am not your wife…-.

-Soon you will be.

She raised her head, saw Adam frowning a little discontentedly and looking at her ardently. She smelled the faint scent of his body after his bath. It was the scent of the bath gel she used.

He used her bath gel.

Estrella swallowed her saliva, her hands pushed Adam’s chest, “What… what do you want to do?

Adam approached her step by oppressive step, Estrella subconsciously stepped back until he hit the wall behind her. Adam’s beautiful, muscular arms lay on the wall next to her cheeks. He leaned toward her and smelled the scent of Ivan’s perfume, his eyes grew darker.

The man’s thin lips pressed against her ear, his breath was wetter than usual because he had just finished bathing. The moist air passed her ear and cheek, it was very sensual to her. But the man spoke to her word for word, -I really don’t like the pungent smell of perfume you have. I’ll give you ten minutes to bathe, is that enough?

-…-

Star was stunned. Did he want her to take a good bath for lovemaking?
