Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Adán Rouco’s handsome face sank as Estrella Berrocal bit her lip and muttered, “Not that you and I were a real couple, Paulita was due to an accident, what are you going to do if there’s another Paulita?”

Now that she knew that Paulita was the child she had given birth to through surrogacy three years ago, she felt a little unsure of herself.

“If you’re pregnant, have it, it’s not like you haven’t given birth to me before.”

The man’s tone was so cold and calm that Estrella Berrocal wrinkled her nose.

It was easy for him to say, but who would have custody of the child, one of each?

“I am not a procreation tool.”

Why should he give her a child unconditionally, when last night’s “night of passion” had been forced, not of his own free will.

Adam Rouco’s dark eyes bore into her, his brow furrowed, his gaze furious.

Did he not want to have a child, or did he not want to give it to her?

Her reluctance provoked him, and he couldn’t stop the fire in his heart from rising, so he spoke harshly, “You were already a fertility tool three years ago, are you afraid to do it again?”

Estrella Berrocal’s face went white and she stood for a long moment clutching her palm, before saying in a cold voice: “Adán Rouco, I know you despise me, but I didn’t do it voluntarily and deliberately three years ago, so you don’t have to humiliate me over and over again.”

With those words, he turned and walked out of the bedroom.

Adam Rouco put a hand to his forehead, with a slight headache, and sat on the edge of the bed, asking in a low, muffled voice, “Where are you going?”

He did not turn around: “Tonight I sleep with Paulita, you should rest”.

Estrella Berrocal fought the aggression in her chest and quickly left the bedroom, and as soon as she did, the pain she had been suppressing in her throat surfaced and her eyes reddened slightly.

Who was Adán Rouco to say that about her?

…

At half past eleven at night, when the village was completely silent, Adán Rouco remained lying in bed for a long time, unable to sleep.

I knew that what I had just said had gone too far.

I don’t know if it was because he knew he had taken Jonathan Tasis’ car or because he had hidden the pill from him, but for a moment, his anger had been uncontrollable.

He had never been a good-tempered man, or even a bad-tempered man.

Paulita usually has a mild temperament, but he seems to have half of his, especially when he gets up, he doesn’t cry or scream, he just pouts and ignores people for a long time, sometimes he gets up so much that he doesn’t talk to anyone for a whole morning, just like him.

When he thought of Paulita, his mind naturally went to that woman’s aggravated little face.

She pulled up the covers and got up to sit on the edge of the bed when Estrella Berrocal’s cell phone, which she had left on this side of the bed, suddenly rang.

Jonathan Tasis’ name flashed and jumped on the screen.

Adán Rouco’s dark eyes deepened and, after three seconds of silence, he raised his hand and picked up the phone, cutting it off and then erasing the call log.

…

When Adán Rouco enters the children’s room, he sees Estrella Berrocal asleep with Paulita’s little body in her arms.

He approaches Estrella Berrocal and withdraws his arms from Paulita’s, bends down and grabs her with one hand.

Estrella Berrocal, groggy from sleep, vaguely feels a pair of strong arms lifting her whole body, a little shaky but sure, and can’t help but bring her face even closer to the warmth.

…

The next morning, Estrella Berrocal reached out and unconsciously tried to hug Paulita, but her hands were empty and she opened her eyes to realize that she was in Adán Rouco’s bedroom.

Had the man brought her here last night while she was sleeping?

Estrella Berrocal clutched her hair, not remembering anything.

When he washed up and went downstairs, Adán Rouco was already dating Paulita, who whined with a little pout: “Dad, why do you always make me eat breakfast in the car, I want to eat with Estrella!”.

It was clear that Adán Rouco did not want to share a room with her before he immediately got up to leave.

Now that I had a car, I wouldn’t be late for the cab and it would be easy to drop Paulita off at daycare on the way.

Adán Rouco ignored her, picked up Paulita and headed for the exit of the house without even giving her a subtle glance.

Did this man hate her so much…?NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

It was obvious that she was angry with him, but it seemed like she was the one pissing him off.

He took an indignant bite of his toast and ate it blandly.

…

In the Rouco family building, in the conference room, a wave of frozen low pressure greeted her.

After a normal meeting, the whole room was freezing.

Naturally, Santino Yepes sensed Adán Rouco’s low pressure today and, when the meeting was over, he prepared a cup of clear coffee and took it to the office.

“Boss, take it easy.”

Adán Rouco ordered: “Go and do something for me”.

Santino Yepes approaches and respectfully asks, “Yes, boss.”

Five minutes later, Santino Yepes drove to the subway parking lot, found the white Audi and sighed twice.

What the hell had this white Audi done to the Boss to make him want me to bring in some men to tear it apart?

This car, didn’t it belong to Miss Estrella?

Had the boss had a fight with Ms. Estrella? Did he take it out on her car?

Santino Yepes raised his chin and gestured to the two men behind him, who raised their iron bars and smashed the windshield of the white Audi.

In less than three minutes, the white Audi, which had been in perfect condition, had completely turned into a junk car, and if repaired, I’m afraid the price of the repair would be half the price of the car.

Three minutes ago, it was a new car, and in the blink of an eye, it was scrapped.

Tsk, what a shame, and the BOSS is really brutal.

…

Sixth floor, creative department.

“I just went to the subway garage to look for something, and you know what I saw?”

“What a scandal, have you seen any of our company’s management touching the star’s ass in the garage?”.

“What, I saw Santino Yepes with two guys who looked like thugs wrecking a white Audi in the garage! That Audi was an A7, it must have cost between $700. 000 and $800. 000! I didn’t expect Santino Yepes to be so tough as to wreck a car with two guys who were ripping it up! And it looked like a new car.

Estrella Berrocal, who was working next to him, was astonished: “What did you say?

Her classmate Xiaoyun scowled at her, “Why are you so nervous, it’s not your car.”

Estrella Berrocal stood up suddenly and hurried to leave.

A room full of people looked back at her and burst out laughing.

“No way, that car is yours, huh?”.

“She actually has money to buy an Audi A7, she’s really into it!”.

“It’s not her skill she’s into, it’s the work underneath, what man could have bought her that car!

“Didn’t Mr. Adam let her into a special elevator in public two days ago? How is it that in the blink of an eye Santino Yepes has gotten someone to wreck his car?”

“Of course, she is in disgrace! I don’t know what’s happened to Sister Adán, but with a woman like her it’s possible that she’s a temporary favorite, but if she’s just a flower vase, I think she’ll soon be thrown out of the Rouco family!”
