Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Adán Rouco left the room with a stony face.

Paulita was resting in Estrella Berrocal’s arms, her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, the little girl could not hold herself and was fast asleep, Adán Rouco told Estrella Berrocal: “Take Paulita to rest for now”.

Estrella Berrocal was stunned, “What about you?”

“I’ll stay here and look after the old man, he should be fine after tonight.”

“This is my fault, I’ll stay and watch over the old man with you.”

“You don’t need to rest, but Paulita can’t hold on, so you take her first.”

Estrella Berrocal looked at the sleepy little girl sound asleep in her arms and had to nod, “Okay then, I’ll take Paulita to school in the morning.”

Adán Rouco took his car keys out of his pants pocket and handed them to her, “Take my car, it’s not safe to take a cab at this hour.”

She reached up and grabbed the keys, “I’ll take Paulita first and then ….”

He took a few steps with Paulita in his arms before turning around again, “I’ll be back at the hospital in the morning to pick you up after I drop Paulita off…”

Adán Rouco stood with his long jade form, one hand in his pocket, looking at her with some tenderness. “No, I’ll be picked up by Santino Yepes in the morning. Go home.”

For some reason, Estrella Berrocal’s heart was warmed by his faint words.

Perhaps it was the way he stood watching her leave, so natural, so unobtrusive, as if they were a real couple, that reassured her.

…

After taking Paulita back to the Rouco family, Estrella Berrocal took her to the children’s room, wiped her face and hands with a warm towel, took off her coat and looked after her for a while before not disturbing her sleep and gently closing the door to the children’s room.

“Estrella Berrocal, you’re a party pooper!”

Estrella Berrocal heard the hostile words as soon as the door closed.

She turned her eyes to see Olivia Montes looking at her fiercely and sneering, “Sister-in-law, speaking of which, I suppose you’re responsible for this too?”

“Hmph, joke! It was your bad behavior that put dad in the hospital, how is it going to be my responsibility?”

“Sister-in-law, how do you know that dad got angry because I misbehaved?”.

Olivia Montes choked up: “Of course the maid told me! Estrella Berrocal, you have disgraced the Rouco family!”.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to dissemble, now that Dad is out, and Adán Rouco is out, I know you told Dad about my false marriage to Adán Rouco, but why are you slandering me?”.

Olivia Montes looked at her with disdain, “you think you’re too much, I wouldn’t do such stupidity even if I wanted to kick you out of the Rouco family, if it were true that I told dad about your fake marriage to Adam, wouldn’t you have guessed it in a second?”

Yes, maybe Olivia Montes didn’t love her, but she wouldn’t have told Roberto Rouco, but very few people knew that, so who was it that didn’t love her and wanted to use him to kick her out of the Rouco family?

Apart from Olivia Montes, he could only think of one person in the entire North, and that was Irene Guillén.

Olivia Montes walked past her, grimaced and threw a document into her arms: “I don’t have to be such a bad influence, Estrella Berrocal, the only thing I need to get you out of the Rouco family is my word that I am the only person Adán has ever wanted in his heart, always, now and in the future. Even more.

Olivia Montes rushed into the bedroom after pushing an unidentified document into her arms, and Estrella Berrocal frowned as she leafed through it.

-DNA report.

A frown, a fierce frown.

Adán Rouco on one side, Dante Rouco on the other.

Paternity test results, paternity.

Estrella Berrocal’s fingers turned slightly white as she pressed the results of the DNA report.

Little Dante was really the son of Adán Rouco. …

Her heart was torn with mixed feelings.

But didn’t she already know that little Dante was the son of Adán Rouco? Why was she still so lost when she read this report?

Her feelings for Adán Rouco, whom she was sure she liked, were much less than the word “love,” but she couldn’t help it.

Back in her room, Estrella Berrocal sat on the edge of the bed, dazed, when a text message arrived on her phone.

It was a message from Adán Rouco.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let me know when you get home.”

Estrella Berrocal was going to reply to him when she got home, delete and delete, exit the text message screen and simply turn off her phone.

Right now, I didn’t want to talk to him at all.

He had a child with Olivia Montes, their feelings must have been coupled, and if so, why was he treating her like that?

Making love to her, doing flirtatious things to her and rushing Roberto Rouco to marry her …

Adán Rouco is so deep that Estrella Berrocal cannot guess what he is thinking.

Is the mist with her just a man’s impulse, and the impulse to marry her just a “trial marriage” with her to protect his “secret love” with Olivia Montes?

Estrella Berrocal couldn’t imagine it, so she stopped thinking about it, took a shower, lay down on the big bed smelling the cold, fresh scent of Adán Rouco and fell fast asleep.

…

The next morning, Estrella Berrocal and Paulita sat at the breakfast table.

Paulita, as she ate a soft piece of toast spread with fresh strawberry jam and slathered on a small bite, said in a remembered voice, “Estrella, can you bring breakfast for daddy later?”

The little one, very obedient.

“Well, but I’m sure your dad eats breakfast.”

Paulita frowned a little and shook her head, “If Estrella doesn’t bring breakfast, I’m sure Papa doesn’t eat breakfast.”

“Why?”

The little girl said matter-of-factly, “Daddy has only started eating breakfast since Estrella came to our house, before Daddy never ate breakfast, he just asked Paulita to do it.”

Estrella Berrocal was stunned, this had to be a simple coincidence, right?

What did his arrival in the Rouco family have to do with whether or not Adán Rouco ate breakfast?

It must be just a coincidence.

But this Paulita was a real trickster.

Estrella Berrocal smiled warmly and raised her hand to rub the mushroom’s head. “You’re only three years old and you’re already very observant, when you grow up you’ll be very smart.”

The little girl licked the strawberry jam and made an adorable face. “I don’t have to wait to grow up, I’m already smart, Star, aren’t I?”.

“Mmm, yes, Paulita is very smart.”

…

After dropping Paulita off at daycare, Estrella Berrocal looked at breakfast sitting on the passenger side and hesitated for a long moment.

At the thought of last night’s paternity test, he shook off the urge to deliver that breakfast and drove straight to the office.

Let’s starve him to death so he won’t have a child with another woman!

Estrella Berrocal surprised herself as the thought crept into her mind.

She was so jealous that she could smell the bitterness herself!

Estrella Berrocal quickly shook her head, put those lovely thoughts behind her and continued to concentrate on driving.

When she arrived at the Rouco family’s parking lot, Estrella Berrocal took another look at the breakfast, got out of the car and threw it in the elevator’s trash garbage can.

If his girlfriend wasn’t going to deliver breakfast, was his fake wife afraid he would go hungry?
