Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal picked up Paulita from daycare after work and then took the little girl with her to the hospital.

Estrella Berrocal carried the little girl’s pink Peppa Pig book bag in one hand and held the little girl in the other as they entered the hospital together.

Paulita saw from afar Adán Rouco sitting on a chair in the aisle and ran to him on her two short legs: “Papa!

Adán Rouco leaned out at the sound of her voice and his cold, sullen eyes softened at the sight of mother and daughter.

Paulita rushed into Adán Rouco’s arms and threw her arms around his neck, saying, “Dad, you haven’t seen Paulita for a day, do you miss Paulita?”.

Adán Rouco looked down and kissed the little girl’s milky forehead, smiling faintly, “Yes, I miss her.”

“Do you miss Estrella, Dad?”

Paulita asked, and both adults froze.

Estrella Berrocal bit her lip and the deep gaze of Adán Rouco gave her an intriguing look, her face warming slightly as she heard the man say, “You asked Estrella if she wanted to be with her father.”

Paulita, who was too young to know anything about men and women, pointed her little bald finger at Estrella Berrocal and reminded Adán Rouco: “Dad, Estrella is right here, she heard you, do I have to ask for you?”

Adán Rouco looked at the little girl and his thin lips spit out the word: “Pedir”.

“Ah!”

Paulita turned her little face away and blinked her big, watery eyes at Estrella Berrocal, “Estarola! Papa asked if you wanted it!”

He hadn’t realized before that this man was so childish!

But when she saw the meaningful smile in his dark eyes, Estrella Berrocal realized that he wasn’t being childish, he was making fun of her.

He simply sat in a chair and said two words, “No.”

Why would I miss it?

The thought of him having a child with Olivia Montes was more than enough for her to avoid him, why would she miss him?

Paulita pouted, “Daddy, Estrella doesn’t love you!”.

She expected Adán Rouco to tease her a little, but he didn’t. Estrella Berrocal gave him a few unconscious glances: “Yes, yes, when will the old man wake up?”.

“The doctor has said that without incident, he will wake up tomorrow.”

Paulita clapped her hands happily when she heard that her grandfather would wake up tomorrow, “How nice! Today our teacher taught us how to make wishing stars and I made lots of them.

Paulita ran and opened her school bag and showed the wishing stars to Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal. “Daddy, Estrella, don’t you think the wishing stars I made are pretty?”.

Estrella Berrocal couldn’t help but raise her hand and caress his little head. “Yes, Paulita will be very excited to give it to grandpa.”

The little girl nodded innocently and said in a childish voice, “Yes! When Grandpa is happy, he’ll be better!”.

As she finishes her sentence, Paulita leans over Adán Rouco’s long legs and asks him with a little face, “Have you had the breakfast Estrella brought you this morning?”

The man frowns, “Breakfast?”.

“Mmm! I told Estrella that daddy doesn’t eat breakfast in the mornings and Estrella was afraid daddy was hungry, so she brought him breakfast!”.

Estrella Berrocal’s heart screamed in disbelief and she looked up to meet the man’s playful gaze. “So there really is a breakfast.”

“What, what breakfast? Paulita asked me to…”

“Where’s breakfast?” Adam Rouco interrupted her directly and asked patiently with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes.

Estrella Berrocal saw the way he flirted with her and justified it: “He threw it away”.

“Throw it away?” Adam Rouco deflected, “Then, starting tomorrow, every morning you will make breakfast for Paulita and me.”

Making breakfast for Paulita was fine with him, but making it for him, why should he?

“Why should I do it for you?”

She owed him nothing.

Adán Rouco leaned in a little closer, his handsome face taking on a tinge of a gangster look rarely seen: “Are you justified in throwing breakfast at me?

“…”

The corner of Estrella Berrocal’s mouth twitched.

This man, what a thick skin!

As he spoke, the nurse there suddenly sounded the alarm and soon several doctors in white coats entered the old man’s room at a rapid pace.

Paulita, who had never seen such a scene in a hospital, tugged on Adán Rouco’s pants and fearfully asked: “Dad, is Grandpa not feeling well? Is the doctor going to come in and give him an injection?

Adán Rouco’s dark eyes looked worriedly around the room and he raised his hand to touch the little boy’s head: “Grandpa will be fine, Paulita is not afraid”.

“Yes, Paulita is not afraid! Grandpa will be fine! Grandpa is going to take Paulita out for more ice cream.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Ten minutes later, some doctors came out of the room, their faces unhinged, and told Adán Rouco: “Mr. Adán, the old man is completely out of danger, your old man is awake, you can go in to see him, but don’t stimulate him.”

Paulita smiled as soon as she heard Grandpa was awake, “Daddy, Grandpa is awake! Let’s go in to see Grandpa together, okay!”.

Adán Rouco took Paulita’s hand and answered her in a soft voice.

Estrella Berrocal stayed where she was, biting her lip, “I … don’t want to go in, I’m afraid he’ll get mad if he sees me.”

Adán Rouco didn’t mind and took Paulita’s hand and entered the room.

Paulita ran to his bed and rested her little arm on the edge of it, blinking her eyes at him and asking, “Grandpa, when are you going to get up?”

The old man weakly raised his hand and took Paulita’s hand between his own, his eyes full of affection and affection.

When he looked at Adán Rouco, his eyes sank, and Adán Rouco pursed his lips, “Dad, I know you’re still mad at me, but we’ll talk when you’re better.”

After talking with the old man in the living room for a while, Adán Rouco pulled Paulita out, “I’ll take you to see Grandpa when he’s better in a few days, he needs to rest now.”

Paulita nodded her head, “Grandpa, Paulita is going to leave now, Paulita will come back to see you in a few days, Grandpa, get well and don’t be angry, okay?”

The old man felt almost warmed by this little girl, after a trip through the ghost door, as he heard these sweet words from Paulita, the corners of his eyes moistened and he nodded his chin.

Paulita, although only three years old, was much better than some ungrateful thirty-somethings!

Adán Rouco had just led Paulita out of the room when Estrella Berrocal spoke abruptly and asked: “How is the old man?

“He seems to be in a good mood, I will ask Felipa to come and take care of him later, I will take you and Paulita home.”

As they reached the car, Estrella Berrocal thought about the state of Roberto Rouco and spoke hesitantly: “Adán Rouco, don’t mention the old man to me in the meantime, and don’t … mention that before you said you wanted to marry me. thing.”
