Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

During the night at the small mountain hotel, Estrella Berrocal clutched her belly and almost suffered internal injuries while holding in her laughter.

The man next to him gave him an arrogant, cold, sidelong glance, “You think that’s funny?”

“Yes, it is.”

Estrella Berrocal was amused by the memory of the man and woman next door saying that Adán Rouco was “short and fast”.

However, the next moment she met the man’s cold eyes, she closed her mouth, stifled her laughter and immediately changed her tone with a smile on her face, “That’s not funny.”

That night, Estrella Berrocal was lying on her cot, sleeping senselessly, her thighs resting on the man’s stomach in a particularly bad way.

Adam Rouco, who had completely lost sleep, looked at her through the starry moonlight outside the window and realized how much she resembled Paulita, both in appearance and in the way she slept.

I don’t know if it was because he loved Paulita or if he simply felt some other kind of affection for the woman, but he began to find her pretty.

Adán Rouco’s heart, which had been calm for thirty-two years, became a little agitated.

…

The next morning, Estrella Berrocal was woken up early by Adán Rouco to catch the first train back to the City of the North.

After an arduous journey of more than ten hours, Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal finally arrived in Ciudad del Norte.

As soon as he got off the train, Adán Rouco called Santino Yepes.

Within ten minutes of arriving at the station, Santino Yepes was already there in his car to pick them up.

When they got into the car, Santino Yepes looked in the rearview mirror at Adán Rouco’s wrinkled shirt in amazement.

BOSS was so clean that he could stand himself in a wrinkled shirt, and it was clear that Estrella Berrocal was special when BOSS had taken it upon himself to come to her rescue.

“BOSS, the kidnapper who abducted Miss Star has not yet been caught and it is not known if this is a simple case of human trafficking or if there is someone behind it …”

Before Santino Yepes could finish his sentence, Estrella Berrocal frowned: “I know who’s behind it, it’s Irene Guillén!”.

How angry Irene Guillén must have been that he had kidnapped her that night when he had made a scene at her wedding!

Speaking of Irene Guillén, Santino Yepes spoke cautiously: “By the way, boss, the video of Miss Estrella making a scene at Irene Guillén’s wedding was posted on the Internet and when it spread, it reached the old man’s ears and I found out …. … and he went to see the video and he was furious”.

Estrella Berrocal’s little heart fluttered… Oh no, she had said something silly at that wedding about being pregnant by Iván Martínez…. I would have thought it was a disgrace for the Rouco family!

She bit her lip and glanced at the man next to her, who was surprisingly unfazed by Adam Rouco, and she felt increasingly insecure.

Adán Rouco did not say a word to Estrella Berrocal until the Maybach returned to the Rouco family.

Estrella Berrocal found it hard to return to the Rouco family, and I am afraid that the only person who welcomed her into the Rouco family was Paulita.

As soon as she entered, Paulita rushed into her arms: “Estrella! I’ve missed you so much.

Estrella Berrocal hugged the little girl tightly: “I’ve missed you a lot too”.

Just a few moments after the “mother-daughter” embrace, Roberto Rouco came down from the second floor on crutches with dignified majesty.

Estrella Berrocal has called Adán Rouco “daddy”.

But the old man ignored her, sat down on the sofa and began to lecture her: “Estrella Berrocal, don’t get into trouble! If people knew you were the daughter-in-law of the Roucos, do you know what the press would write about you and the Roucos?

Estrella Berrocal lowered her face and admitted her mistake: “It is true that I did not think things through and acted recklessly”.

The old man said angrily, “Did you not think well or not at all about the Rouco family?”

“Dad, Estrella just came back from a scare, if you want to teach her a lesson, do it in a few days, she needs to rest now.”

The old man glanced at Adán Rouco and snorted: “Now you’re still protecting her? Look, this wife of yours has stained your face”.

Adán Rouco returned the calm: “Doesn’t everyone know that she is now my wife?

“You … you’re going to piss me off!”.

Adam Rouco’s face was expressionless, “After all the times I’ve pissed you off since I was a kid, you’ve had to get pissed off every time, and you’re not still sitting here lecturing us properly?”

Roberto Rouco almost spat a mouthful of blood.

Estrella Berrocal stifled a laugh, this Adán Rouco was really toxic too, talking like that to his own eldest son…. No wonder he was usually so critical of her.

Paulita ran and crawled into the arms of Adán Rouco, her little milk voice was adorable: “Papa and Estrella know they are wrong, Grandpa don’t get mad at them, okay?”

The old man looked twice at his cute little granddaughter, but his temper didn’t come out, he frowned and waved his hand with an annoyed face, “All right, by Paulita, I’m not going to bother with you! You two get your asses up! I don’t want to see you.”

Adán Rouco took Estrella Berrocal’s hand in his and went straight up to the second floor.

…

Estrella Berrocal had not slept well in the last few days and fell asleep by the bedside after showering, while Adán Rouco showered and headed to his study to catch up on the work he had left pending in the last few days.

After a long moment of business, Adán Rouco got up and approached the floor-to-ceiling window, craning his neck as he called out to Santino Yepes.

“Clean up the video on the internet of Estrella Berrocal staging a scene at Irene Guillén’s wedding.”

“Yes, boss.”

“Keep working on the kidnapping case and let me know if you hear anything.”

“Yes boss, I’ll let you know as soon as I have some information.”

After hanging up the phone, Adán Rouco turned to look at the kraft paper bag on his desk, his eyes thoughtful.

A small hand pushed on the study door, “Dad!”.

Paulita’s big, dark eyes looked around the studio and, seeing Adán Rouco, she happily ran to him, who bent down and put his daughter in his arms and asked affectionately, “Is Grandpa still angry?”

Paulita shook her head, “Grandpa is not angry anymore, he says that Paulita is his happy, sweet candied fruit!”.

Adán Rouco smiled warmly and reached up to pinch her cheeks a couple of times, “Good girl.”

“Dad, where is Estrella?”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Estrella is sleeping in her room, so don’t disturb her yet. When she wakes up, daddy wants to give her a present.”

Paulita asked curiously, “What are you going to give Estrella, daddy?”.

Adán Rouco scratched the little girl’s nose: “Not yet”.

“Gee, when Estrella wakes up, Daddy, you and Estrella are going to celebrate my birthday again! I haven’t eaten my birthday cake yet!”.

“Good.”

When she woke up from her nap, it was time to digest the fact that Paulita had been born to her as a surrogate in her day!

Estrella Berrocal woke up at six in the evening, after having slept all afternoon. She rubbed the back of her neck, which was a little swollen and sore, and had just lifted the covers off the bed when the bedroom door was pushed open by Adán Rouco.

The man held a kraft paper bag in his hand, strangely mysterious: “Open it and see.”

“What, what is this?”

Adán Rouco raised his chin and handed him the kraft paper bag: “You’ll know it when you see it”.

For some reason, Estrella Berrocal became inexplicably a little nervous as she picked up the kraft paper bag.
