Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal had not seen Paulita for many days and went to the kindergarten to wait for the little girl after school.

As soon as the little boy saw Estrella Berrocal standing in the doorway, he immediately trotted over with his school bag in tow and threw his arms around Estrella Berrocal’s stomach.

“Star!”

Estrella Berrocal knelt down and, looking up to Paulita’s height, touched the little boy’s face and said, “Do you miss your mommy?”

“Yes!”

Paulita wrapped her two little arms around Estrella Berrocal’s neck and, with a little effort, Estrella Berrocal lifted the little girl right up. “Come on, let’s take you to Kentucky Fried Chicken!”.

“Yes! We can eat Kentucky Fried Chicken again!”

In a black Bentley car not far away, Clementina Orihuela, wearing black sunglasses in the driver’s seat, looked arrogantly at Jerold Rouco in the passenger seat, snorted and said, “I didn’t think you and she had such a cute daughter!”

Jerold Rouco pursed his lips and emphasized: “This girl is his daughter with Adán Rouco, not with me”.

Clementina Orihuela let out a laugh: “Who cares, isn’t that the same body Estrella Berrocal made love to? Speaking of which, you’re not suddenly going to turn into Adán Rouco one day, are you? That’s not funny.”

Jerold Rouco looked at the embracing mother and daughter, with cold eyes, and said, “I will not let Adam Rouco out again.”

I had never imagined being the shadow of Adán Rouco’s split personality, but since he had left, I would not be willing to be a shadow that would disappear at any time.

He would lead this body so completely that Adán Rouco would disappear forever and replace it completely.

Clementina Orihuela drove the Bentley, following Estrella Berrocal and Paulita until they entered a Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Clementina Orihuela growled under her breath, “I can’t believe I’m here for Kentucky Fried Chicken, how childish!”.

Through the huge glass doors of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Jerold Rouco’s heart fluttered violently for no apparent reason as he watched the small and large group eating Kentucky Fried Chicken together.

Unconsciously, he reached out and pressed his hand against his heart, frowning slightly.

It was not his feeling, but that of Adán Rouco.

Jerold Rouco ordered with a cold voice: “Let’s go”.

“Don’t you follow me?”

“Now that the ins and outs are clear, there’s no point in following them, I’m going back to The Rouco Family, so don’t come looking for me in the meantime.”

“Fine, but remember, when the time comes, divorce Estrella Berrocal.”

Jerold Rouco knew all about the Rouco Group’s current situation, and if he wanted the Rouco Group, he had to find an allied group with a strong financial and power background, and The Orihuela family, the group behind Clementina Orihuela, was the best choice.

…

Estrella Berrocal took Paulita’s little hand and went happily to La familia Rouco.

“Star, I really like mashed potatoes and egg tarts, when are we going back to Kentucky Fried Chicken?”.

“If you like mashed potatoes and egg tarts, I can make them for you, do you want Paulita to stay with me for two days this weekend?”.

“Yes, Estrella, I want to sleep with you! You can read me a story! Then I’ll tell Grandpa that I’m going to stay with Estrella this weekend!”

“Okay, come in.”

As soon as Estrella Berrocal entered with Paulita, she saw Jerold Rouco sitting in the living room, chatting quite “quietly” with Roberto Rouco and Olivia Montes.

What was Jerold Rouco doing… here? What does he want?

Paulita, who was standing next to him, was wide-eyed at the sight of Jerold Rouco. “Estrella, didn’t daddy go to heaven, is this daddy?”

Jerold Rouco stood up and, with his long legs, took a step towards Estrella Berrocal and Paulita.

Paulita, frowning and wide-eyed, stared at Jerold Rouco as he approached, her little hands tugging at Estrella Berrocal’s shirt and stroking his little mouth in amazement. “Wow, he sure looks like daddy!”

Roberto Rouco, sitting on the sofa, was very happy to know that his son was alive and well, smiled broadly and said to Paulita: “Paulita, this is your daddy! Your father is alive.

Paulita blinked hard and assured several times, “Daddy? Are you really a daddy?”

Jerold Rouco leaned over and gave Paulita an affectionate smile, “What, Paulita doesn’t know daddy?”.

Estrella Berrocal’s brow furrowed, that man in front of her was definitely not Adán Rouco, who would never have acted so calmly when he came back to see her and Paulita after the disaster.

“Dad?”

Paulita stepped forward and squeezed the handsome face she held so close.

Estrella Berrocal thought of the moment at the medical base when Jerold Rouco had her by the throat and hurriedly pulled Paulita to his side.

He feared that Jerold Rouco would hurt Paulita.

Instead, Jerold Rouco opened his arms to Paulita and said, “Paulita, does Daddy hug you?”

Paulita tilted her little face up and said to Estrella Berrocal: “Estrella, yes it’s daddy!”.

Estrella Berrocal did not know how to explain it, but she had to let go of Paulita, who approached and hugged Jerold Rouco, and said in a soft voice: “Dad! Why have you come back from heaven only now!”.

Estrella Berrocal’s eyes hurt, children are the most innocent of all. When Adán Rouco left, Estrella Berrocal told her that Adán Rouco had gone to heaven, and Paulita truly thought that her father would fly back.

Jerold Rouco’s heart, once again, was violently shaken.

Paulita’s little hand took Jerold Rouco’s big hand, and the little one took Estrella Berrocal’s hand, and the three hands joined hands.

The little girl said, “Daddy, Estrella, Paulita, don’t be separated anymore!”.

Estrella Berrocal looked at Jerold Rouco with a complicated look.

Roberto Rouco stood up with his cane and smiled: “Today we are all together, I have asked the cook to make some of Adam’s favorite dishes, so don’t just stand there, let’s get ready to eat! Let’s celebrate today.”

During dinner, Roberto Rouco looked at the plate of sea bream in front of Jerold Rouco and said kindly, “Adam, you love sea bream, so I have sent the chef to make you a special one, you have suffered a lot these days, eat more.”

Jerold Rouco replied in a soft voice, “Yes, Dad.”

Estrella Berrocal unconsciously looked at Jerold Rouco, who, as she remembered, had said he didn’t like fish, but now this Jerold Rouco had eaten it several times with his fork.

What was this Jerold Rouco, posing as Adam, trying to get into The Rouco Family?

Roberto Rouco looked at Estrella Berrocal and Paulita: “Estrella, Paulita, why don’t you two have lunch”.

Paulita, holding a glass of juice in her little hand, said, “Grandpa, Estrella took me to eat Kentucky Fried Chicken after school!”.

Grandpa smiled warmly, “Then you eat too.”

Paulita picked up her glass of juice and brought it close to Jerold Rouco’s, blinking her big eyes and her little voice, “Papa, let’s have one.”

The old man laughed out loud, raised his glass and said, “Come on, let’s clink all the glasses! Let’s celebrate Adam’s safe return.”

When everyone had downed their drinks, Jerold Rouco asked, “Dad, aren’t things going too well for the group lately?”

The smile on Roberto Rouco’s face sank as he sighed: “Since your accident, the Rouco Group’s share price has been falling and the executives and board of directors have been on edge. Only when you come back, those shareholders will calm down. Let’s not talk about business matters, let’s have a good meal and celebrate today as a family!”.

The meal was a happy one for everyone except Estrella Berrocal, who was distracted.

After lunch, Paulita went to watch anime with Dante and Jerold Rouco followed Roberto Rouco to the studio, supposedly to discuss business matters.

As Jerold Rouco left the studio, he caught a glimpse of Estrella Berrocal waiting at the door.

She gave him a clear, cold look, reached out and grabbed him straight by the sleeve and walked into the bedroom.

Just as she arrived at the bedroom, Jerold Rouco asked her in embarrassment, “What, so eager to show me your bedroom with Adam Rouco?”

“Jerold Rouco, what the hell do you want by sneaking into The Rouco Family!”.
