Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Adán Rouco grabbed her restless hands and pulled her into his arms, whispering a warning in her ear, “No flirting with Demario Alejandro.”

Flirting?

“When have I ever flirted with Demario Alejandro? I didn’t…”

Adán Rouco looked at her out of the corner of his eye and raised a finger to wipe the tears from her face.

She had just smiled so happily at Demario Alejandro, and wasn’t that flirting?

“It’s just that I’ve been chilled all day because of you, I’m depressed, you’ve thrown me out, I can’t be here alone all afternoon, can I?”.

Adán Rouco took her by the hand and continued walking without looking at her again, but his voice was grave as he ordered, “Don’t ever smile at another man again.”

Estrella Berrocal blushed: “You’re too bossy, do I have to stop looking at other men?”.

“If you can do it, I certainly don’t mind.”

“…”

Continued Estrella Berrocal, raising her watery eyes to steal a glance at him and pursing her lips, “You ask so much of me, can I ask a little of your inept boyfriend too?”

Adán Rouco was in a much better mood after Estrella Berrocal’s tantrum, so he listened: “Tell me about it”.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“No more unexplained cold faces, no more ignoring me all the time, you have to pamper me, spoil me and be nice to me…”

“Star, are you asking too much?”

Adam Rouco stopped dead in his tracks and fixed his gaze on her, Estrella Berrocal growled softly, “Too much, then fine, I won’t be your girlfriend…”

With that, he made a move to pull his hand away, but Adán Rouco grabbed it and pulled her back into his arms.

Estrella Berrocal did not resist, but asked, “By hugging me, do you agree?”.

“Yes.”

Adán Rouco replied in a subdued voice.

“No more fun at sea”.

He said it suddenly, and Estrella Berrocal asked, puzzled: “Why?”.

“It’s too dangerous.”

Estrella Berrocal dropped her glasses and said, “Are you mad at me for going to the sea?”.

But it was hard to imagine that Adán Rouco would be afraid of marine recreation, wasn’t it?

With a turn of his head, he asked, “Adam, is it because you were frightened by the shipwreck that you don’t like the sea?”

Adán Rouco’s dark eyes sank, but he did not deny it.

If she had denied it, Estrella Berrocal would have kept asking, and there was nothing wrong with letting her think that.

Estrella Berrocal reached out her hand and gave him a hug, murmuring like a child: “Adam, don’t be afraid, we will never see the sea again”.

The man frowned slightly and took her wrist between his own, asking, “What did you just call me?”

Estrella Berrocal let go of his hand and stepped forward with her hands behind her back, pretending to be deaf: “Adam.”

“Call him again.”

Adán Rouco was not so easily fooled and took his little hand in his own and ordered.

Estrella Berrocal looked at him deliberately, “I’m not going to call.”

Who told her she was so bad during the day?

Adán Rouco took her by the hand and headed for the hotel, ordering in a deep voice: “That’s what you will call her from now on”.

“Adam?”

“Mmm.”

The man replied in a nonchalant, nasal voice.

Estrella Berrocal’s fingers, which she held in her hand, twitched and tickled his palm, and the man frowned, but the look he gave her was half-sideways.

Estrella Berrocal could only feel that her relationship with Adán Rouco had become even sweeter after this fight.

Love, after all, is a torment.

…

At night, Adán Rouco began to have that nightmare again.

And Estrella Berrocal heard her name “Analena” again.

He lay next to her, wide-eyed, wondering if it was really hard for Adam Rouco to get over this Analena.

What would she have to do for him to forget Analena?

…

The next morning, Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal set off for the City of the North.

Memories of the last few days on Beach Island were not good at all.

He had thought he could go to Beach Island to relax, but instead of relaxing, he had become even more miserable.

As she sat on the plane, Estrella Berrocal couldn’t help but ask: “You’ve been dreaming about ‘Analena’ for two days, is Analena … a woman? ?”

He deliberately tried, but as soon as he mentioned Analena’s name, Adán Rouco’s face immediately went bad, cold and white, and the man flatly denied: “No”.

Estrella Berrocal knew he wasn’t going to tell her, but she was still patient and tried to coax something out of him. “So, who is … Analena? You even call her by her name in your dreams and in your sleep…”

Before she could finish the sentence, Adán Rouco interrupted her with a frown: “It’s just someone unimportant, don’t think about it”.

Estrella Berrocal unconsciously replied, “Isn’t she important and you dream of calling her by her name? How come you don’t call me by my name in your dreams?”

“Estrella Berrocal.

Adán Rouco suddenly called her by her first name with a cold, handsome face and a serious voice.

He’d barely called her by her first name in the last two days, and now he was getting angry because she was being asked about a secret hidden in his heart?

The more reserved he was, the more she suspected he was only with her because he looked a little like Analena.

She bit her lip and stared at him, “Are you with me because I look like Analena?”.

“What nonsense!”

Adán Rouco suddenly growled.

When Adán Rouco went into a rage, his temper was terrifying and Estrella Berrocal just bit her lip there, red-eyed.

The man questioned, “Who the hell told you that nonsense, was it Jonathan Tasis?”

“Does it matter who told me? I just want to know if it was…”

“No!”

Adán Rouco was always calm, but he had lost his temper repeatedly in the last two days, could it all be Analena’s fault?

A man like Adam Rouco, calm and self-possessed, so serene no matter what he faced, but now when it came to Analena, he seemed like a different person, there was only one reason for his change in personality, and that was that he really cared about Analena, otherwise how could he refuse to even mention her when she asked him a few questions!

On the way back to North City, they didn’t say another word.

When they got off the plane, it was 12 noon.

Santino Yepes picked them up in his car, and when they got in, Adán Rouco ordered: “Go back to La Villa Rouco”.

But Estrella Berrocal said: “I want to return to La Villa Berrocal”.

Adán Rouco’s eyes sank: “Paulita has been waiting for you for days, she misses you”.

At the mention of Paulita, Estrella Berrocal could not help it, Adán Rouco had always been able to get under her skin and force her to give in.

On the way, Adán Rouco tries to take her hand in his lap, but Estrella Berrocal avoids him.

The man’s eyes grew colder, but he kept silent.

As soon as Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal entered the house, Paulita, who was sitting alone on the sofa playing with a puzzle, looked up and saw Estrella Berrocal.

“Star!”

The little girl rushed to Estrella Berrocal and hugged her.

Estrella Berrocal had not seen her little girl for days and had missed her very much.

“Star, I miss you so much! You won’t leave me again, will you?”.

Estrella Berrocal was stunned at the question, but said, “I may have to come back to La Villa Berrocal for a while, but I promise to come see you, okay?”

Adán Rouco, who was next to him, blushed coldly.

Were you going back to La Villa Berrocal?

“I forbid you.”
