Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Adán Rouco withdrew his joke and said with a straight face, “Once upon a time, that second personality appeared.”

Esteban Zaragosa clenched his cigarette, his brow slightly furrowed, “What happened?”.

Adán Rouco shook his head, “I’m not sure”.

“Does Estrella Berrocal know?”.

“No, but that day he spent the night with my second personality and nothing happened.”

Esteban Zaragosa took a puff on his cigarette and exhaled slowly, “It does not matter that the second personality appears, but I am afraid, that this second personality will one day become your master personality, you have to find the cause and pluck it, take a new test another time, this is something, I do not recommend you to hide from Estrella Berrocal. ”

Adán Rouco said in a light voice: “I will find the time to tell you, but not now”.

Estrella Berrocal was pregnant and if he found out about her condition, he would worry and interfere with her pregnancy.

…

When Adán Rouco returned to the room after smoking, the take-out food Estrella Berrocal had ordered had already arrived and she was sitting on the hospital bed, leaning the small board on the bed, ready to eat, when she saw Adán Rouco return with his long legs and arched eyebrows: “You’re back, I ordered two, let’s eat together”.

He had ordered a paella, which smelled so good that it didn’t take him long to open it so that the whole room was filled with the aroma.

Adán Rouco approached and sat down in front of her, Estrella Berrocal approached and breathed in the smell of smoke that he gave off, not too heavy, very light and not unpleasant.

She didn’t dislike the smell of smoke he had, but she also didn’t like that Adán Rouco smoked too much, when Crepúsculo Keng was still there, he used to smoke a lot because he was bitter about his job, the ashtray was full and the whole studio was filled with thick white smoke, Crepúsculo Keng had a very strong cough because he smoked too much, so Estrella Berrocal didn’t want Adán Rouco to smoke too much and deplete his health.

“Come on, eat, this is delicious, haven’t you tasted it before?”.

Estrella Berrocal opened a disposable spoon and handed it to him.

Adán Rouco’s eyes have been fixed on her since she entered the room, his gaze is ardent and deep, and Estrella Berrocal, seeing that he doesn’t take it, unconsciously looks up and meets his gaze.

Small face, slightly heated.

“Why are you looking at me like that, is there something on my face?”

Having said this, raising his hand to touch the corner of her mouth and her face, Adán Rouco raised his hand and suddenly took her small hand in his, lowered his gaze and kissed the corner of her lips.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

He had been smoking and when he kissed her, she tasted a hint of light smoke, a sudden kiss that confused her a little.

“Why, why are you kissing me so suddenly?”.

Adam Rouco looked at her intently, his thin lips slowly parted, “Would you be afraid if one day you found out that it wasn’t me?”

Adán Rouco was self-confident, strong, even conceited, even when, in the past, he had had one or two girlfriends who had run away from him in fear after learning that he suffered from personality disorder, he had continued to disdain them, perhaps because he felt nothing for those supposed exes, and he had stayed with them simply to escape his family’s blind date, but with Estrella Berrocal he was on tenterhooks, not knowing how to approach her with the secret he was trying so hard to hide, not to mention what Estrella Berrocal’s reaction would be when she found out about his condition.

I looked forward to her reaction when she found out, but I also dreaded it.

Adán Rouco was conceited, but he never imagined that one day his heart would weaken in front of another person.

Estrella Berrocal’s watery eyes stared at him for a long moment before she suddenly burst out laughing, “Adam, do you want to hear me talk about love?”.

Why else would I ask such an unorthodox question?

He really hadn’t realized that such a mature, introverted man would ask such a childish question.

The corners of Adán Rouco’s eyes twitched slightly as he took her in his arms, his thin lips against her ear, his voice low as he asked, “So, are you going to say it?”

“…”

Was he asking her for words of love?

Estrella Berrocal looked at his somewhat serious face and fell into his arms laughing, “Even if you turned into a monster, I wouldn’t be afraid of you, much less leave you.”

Adán Rouco’s somber face improved at her dangling words, and Estrella Berrocal reached out and poked him in the corner of the lips, commenting objectively, “But Adán, you’re a little scary when you get angry with people, especially when you pucker your lips, keep a stern face and don’t say a word, in the future, could you smile more at me and Paulita with a smile more often?”

Adán Rouco’s thin lips curved: “Like this?”.

Suddenly he smiled in a very serious and stereotypical way and Estrella Berrocal shuddered. “Better not, you should do what you have to do, it always seems to me that there is something conspiratorial when you smile all of a sudden.”

“…”

The corner of Adán Rouco’s mouth twitched.

Estrella Berrocal was eating the fragrant paella and was about to pass a spoonful to her mouth when the man suddenly grabbed her wrist and passed the spoonful to his own mouth, opened his thin lips and ate the spoonful while she watched.

“Why are you eating my rice when you have your own?”.

Adam Rouco scooped a spoonful of rice from his own bowl and passed it to her lips, “Hm?”

“…”

Feeding each other?

Estrella Berrocal’s heart was sweetened and she took the spoonful of rice.

Once Estrella Berrocal had eaten her paella, she grabbed her phone to check her messages and discovered that Dulcina Calvo had sent her a WhatsApp –

“Star, thank you very much! The devil Esteban has given me the day off! Here I am, on my way to the hotel!”.

Estrella Berrocal froze and looked at the man who was minding his business to the side; Santino Yepes had sent him his laptop in the morning, so now the man was focused on the computer screen, and his phone, resting in his hand.

He wanted to see if Adán Rouco had said anything to Esteban Zaragosa.

Surreptitiously, she takes her phone, enters her birthday code, enters WhatsApp and sees her dialogue with Esteban Zaragosa.

“Give Dulcina Calvo half a day off or I’ll owe you one for my wife lying in bed unable to breastfeed her baby in peace.”

Estrella Berrocal’s heart skipped a beat and scarlet flashed across her face.

He had called her “wife” in front of his best friend, and he had done it so well that Estrella Berrocal’s vanity had been very satisfied.

He exits the interface, closes his phone and secretly puts it away again, but his hand suddenly encounters a large, bony one.

She freezes and turns her head to see the handsome face of Adán Rouco approaching.

“Star, what are you looking at with my phone?”.

“….”

The man’s thin lips curved into a mocking smile, his eyes were playful, Estrella Berrocal felt embarrassed by the look. “You have spoken to Esteban Zaragosa as a favor, you owe Esteban Zaragosa a favor, then I owe you one too.”

Adán Rouco responded with indifference: “And?

Estrella Berrocal blushed slightly and wrapped her arms around his neck, her soft lips, pressed close to his ear, “So…”

There was a pause in her words and Adán Rouco’s brow furrowed slightly, waiting for her to say something else, when Estrella Berrocal took advantage of the man’s inattention and her lips suddenly kissed his cheek, but Adán Rouco turned his head so that what should have been a kiss on the cheek, was a solid mismatch and four lips met.

Estrella Berrocal’s face turned red.

After the kiss, Adán Rouco, with a slightly frowning and playful frown, said with disgust: “It smells like Paella”.

Estrella Berrocal: “…”

…

Estrella Berrocal had to stay in the hospital all day today for observation, so in the afternoon, Estrella Berrocal was lying in her bed, bored, watching Adán Rouco work on his play and finding her man incredibly attractive.

As he watched, he became sleepy and Adán Rouco raised his hand and touched his forehead, without taking his eyes off the computer, and said softly: “Sleepy, asleep”.

Estrella Berrocal fell asleep with a stunned response.

When he woke up, he received a dozen voicemails from Dulcina Calvo on his phone.

When she opened them, Dulcina Calvo was crying and sobbing.

After listening to several of them, Estrella Berrocal summarized the message, which was that Dulcina Calvo had fallen out of love.

“How could Lazaro Morejon do this to me, who is going to get engaged to a rich girl and says he never wants to see me again!”.

Scum! I’m not going to see him again.”

“No way! Wouldn’t it be cheaper for me to break up with him in such a big way!”

“woo woo woo woo woo woo… Star I’m so sad…”

Estrella Berrocal’s voice was reproduced on the public one, and as Dulcina Calvo was speaking loudly, Adán Rouco, who was working on the side, heard it all.

Adán Rouco closed his computer and Estrella Berrocal thought it was bothering him: “Is your work bothering you?

Adán Rouco left the laptop on his desk, picked up the phone and said without changing his face, “As a good friend, I must give the good news to Esteban Zaragosa.”

“…”

The corner of Estrella Berrocal’s mouth twitched.

How could Adán Rouco be so impudent at times?

“Dulcina fell out of love, you are basing Esteban Zaragosa’s happiness on Dulcina’s pain.”

Adán Rouco is not impressed: “What does it matter? What Dulcina Calvo needs now is a firm shoulder”.

Estrella Berrocal thinks about it: “But it seems that Dulcina doesn’t like Esteban Zaragosa”.

“I don’t think Dulcina Calvo can resist Esteban Zaragosa, just like you, you can’t resist me.”

“…”

This man, what arrogance!

Estrella Berrocal threw herself into his arms, her watery eyes staring at him: “Adán Rouco, has anyone ever told you that sometimes you are arrogant and self-absorbed?

“Don’t you like it?”

“… I like it.”

Estrella Berrocal narrowed her watery eyes, unable to say anything against her will as she gazed at that exceedingly handsome face.

Adán Rouco sent a WhatsApp message to Esteban Zaragosa, tersely.

“Dulcina Calvo has fallen out of love”.

Esteban Zaragosa returned a very quick response with three terse words: “No me extraña”.

Estrella Berrocal also saw it, “What about Esteban Zaragosa’s confidence?”.

Adán Rouco stared at the three words on the screen, thinking that there was more to it, that Esteban Zaragosa was a man of great foresight and that it was either a blessing or a curse that Dulcina Calvo was in his sights.

Estrella Berrocal wondered, scratching the back of her head, “What did Esteban Zaragosa like about Dulcina being so well endowed? As nice as Dulcina is, I don’t understand what Esteban Zaragosa sees in Dulcina”.

Although Estrella Berrocal does not know Esteban Zaragosa well, the man is, at first glance, from the same country as Adán Rouco, with a temperament that is difficult to disguise and a cold and self-possessed person.

Dulcina Calvo was a homely and grounded girl, not at all compatible with a man like Esteban Zaragosa.

“Do you think Esteban Zaragosa is better looking than me?”

“…”

This man, he had the wrong approach!
