Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Shortly thereafter, Roberto Rouco arrived at the hospital with Paulita.

Felipa, who was following Roberto Rouco, put the thermos bucket she was holding on the table, opened it and began to serve breakfast.

Paulita rushed to Adán Rouco’s side: “Dad, what happened to you? Grandpa says your hand is broken and you won’t be able to hold Paulita anymore, when will you get well, daddy?”.

The little boy looked at him with a worried frown and asked several questions in one breath.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Olivia Montes took the floor while the little girl rested in her arms: “Paulita, be careful not to squeeze your daddy’s hand”.

Adán Rouco raised his left hand and caressed Paulita’s little head, speaking in a soft, muffled voice: “Don’t worry, daddy will be fine soon”.

“You have to get well soon, Dad, or Paulita will be very worried, and Grandpa too.”

Roberto Rouco sat down and made a gesture to Paulita: “Paulita, come here, if you press your daddy’s hand too hard, he won’t be able to hug you if he doesn’t get better”.

The little girl nodded obediently and ran to Roberto Rouco’s side.

Roberto Rouco put his arm around his granddaughter and asked Adán Rouco in a low voice, “Why didn’t you see that woman Estrella Berrocal taking care of you when you hurt your arm?”

At the mention of Estrella Berrocal, Paulita nudged her mouth and asked curiously, “Dad, didn’t you and Estrella reconcile?”

Adán Rouco did not answer with a sullen face.

Roberto Rouco frowned and asked, “Reconciliation? Do you and Estrella Berrocal fight a lot?”.

He had always disliked Estrella Berrocal, who was no better than Olivia Montes, his eldest daughter-in-law, and the fact that Adán Rouco had brought her home without asking her opinion, so Roberto Rouco had always held a grudge against Estrella Berrocal.

Moreover, Estrella Berrocal had colluded with Adán Rouco to deceive him, something that made Roberto Rouco even angrier.

“I see that you and that girl are, in fact, not married anyway, so since you don’t fit together, you might as well split up.”

The old man’s voice was light, but his tone was serious.

Paulita was the first to disagree when she heard this: “Grandfather, I want Estrella to be my mother, I don’t want anyone else to be my mother!

Roberto Rouco attended to the little girl: “Fine, fine, whatever Paulita says”.

After a while, Paulita had to urinate and Felipa took Paulita to the bathroom, while Roberto Rouco, on crutches, approached Adán Rouco’s bed and told him seriously: “Think carefully about what I just said. I’m sure you know after so much time together”.

Adán Rouco’s dark eyes rose, but he spoke with even more solemnity: “Dad, you don’t have to get involved in this matter, I know who I love”.

Roberto Rouco’s face sank, Olivia Montes looked at Roberto Rouco and then said softly to Adán Rouco: “Adán, why do you have to go against daddy? Dad doesn’t like Estrella Berrocal, don’t you see?”.

“Dad doesn’t like Estrella Berrocal, and in this case there’s a lot to be said for sister-in-law.”

The man’s sudden cold retort made Olivia Montes’ eyes bug out. “Adam, what are you talking about…?”

Roberto Rouco’s brow furrowed even more: “Well, one, two or three don’t let me worry you, you might as well be a three-year-old Paulita!

When Felipa came out of the bathroom with Paulita in her arms, Roberto Rouco said to Adán Rouco: “I’m leaving, get well. Think about what I told you too! Nanci, stay and take care of him”.

“Okay, Dad.”

Paulita waved to Adán Rouco and said in a milky voice: “Dad, see you tomorrow”.

When Adán Rouco, Olivia Montes and Santino Yepes were the only ones left in the room, the man spoke coldly: “You can go back”.

Santino Yepes first thought that Adán Rouco was asking him to turn around and said “Oh,” but just as he turned around, Adán Rouco frowned.

“Who told you to leave!”.

Santino Yepes: “…”

Santino Yepes looked at Olivia Montes with trepidation.

Olivia Montes pursed her lips and said, “Adam, as you heard, Dad has asked me to stay and take care of you.”

“Dante is out of the hospital, but his body still needs a long recovery, so you should go back and take care of Dante.”

“Dante has Grandpa and Felipa to take care of him….”

Before he could finish the sentence, Adán Rouco suddenly ordered Santino Yepes coldly: “Go get Estrella Berrocal for me!”.

There was a tinge of irritation, of impatience in that tone.

It was clear that the words were directed at Olivia Montes.

Olivia Montes swallowed saliva, unable to save her face, clenched her fists and laughed bitterly: “Adam, do you have to do this? What’s so good about Estrella Berrocal that you’re so fond of her!”.

“Sister-in-law, I love Estrella Berrocal”.

Adán Rouco’s words stabbed Olivia Montes right in the heart like a knife, killing without blood.

Olivia Montes glared at him for several seconds before leaving the room without saying anything.

Santino Yepes spoke cautiously, “Boss, is Miss Estrella still …?”.

The man gave him a cold, arrogant look, “What do you think?”.

“I’ll get her right now!”

…

Estrella Berrocal had just woken up, cleaned up and was getting ready to leave for work.

As soon as she left the house, someone blocked her.

The other woman was a voluptuous young woman, wearing a short black dress that revealed a large amount of snowy flesh, who looked at her with disdain and mockery.

It was early autumn in the northern city and the mornings and evenings were cool, so this woman was wearing very little clothing, just like in summer.

Estrella Berrocal had been aware of her opponent’s unsympathetic aura from the beginning.

But he had never imagined that it was the same woman who had been in the hotel room yesterday with Adán Rouco.

“My name is Lucrecia Javier and I wasn’t going to come to see you, but I felt I had to come to give you a blow. I’m going to be brief, my relationship with Adam, I’m sure you knew all about it yesterday, Adam left you without a second thought and went to see me, just because Adam likes me more, I hope you’ll be sensible and stay away from Adam!”

Lucrecia Javier behaved like a “proper lady”, warning her in a decent way, making Estrella Berrocal a real busybody.

Estrella Berrocal, carrying her purse, looked at her without expression, and the more she did not react, the more contempt she felt for Lucrecia Javier.

“Miss Estrella, I think you’re wrong, Adán Rouco and I no longer have any kind of relationship, so if you want to compete for the favor, you’d better go straight to Adán Rouco’s bed and try harder.”

A cold answer in three words that made Lucretia Javier’s teeth itch with rage!

This Estrella Berrocal was clearly calling her a mere bedfellow of Adán Rouco!

But how could Lucretia Xavier admit defeat so easily?

She snorted and brought her burning red lips close to Estrella Berrocal’s ear. The strong perfume of Lucrecia Javier’s body made Estrella Berrocal want to sneeze, but then she heard the voice in her ears saying …

“Estrella Berrocal, yesterday Adam left his seed inside me, he hugged me and told me that he wanted me to have Adam’s son and that he would marry me like Mrs. Rouco if I could have Adam’s son.”

Estrella Berrocal’s sweaty pores bristled with a shiver.

He looked coldly at the smug Lucretia Javier and stared at her for a long, long time.

“Why are you looking at me so fiercely!”.

“Get out of the way, I have to go to work!”.

Estrella Berrocal pushed her away and walked away with a cold face.

Lucretia Javier frowned, “You’re just going to walk away? It’s no fun!”

Estrella Berrocal’s pace was getting faster and faster, and Lucrecia Javier’s words echoed in her mind …

She was a woman and I couldn’t help but understand what it meant for a man to make such a promise to a woman.

Adán Rouco had allowed Lucrecia Javier to gestate his son …
