Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal stared at his handsome face, reddened by the slap, and said in one word: “Jerold Rouco, I will not let you win, Adán Rouco will definitely come back to me.”

“Heh.”

Jerold Rouco scoffed and turned his eyes to look at her, “Then you will try, whether I condemn you first or you call Adam Rouco again.”

Estrella Berrocal forcefully pushed him away and walked straight out of the bedroom.

I didn’t want to stay under the same roof as him, not even for a second.

But after running out of the bedroom, I didn’t know how I was going to get downstairs.

Tell everyone that I was going to move back into The Villas at Repulse Bay?

But in everyone’s eyes, Adam Rouco was already back, so wouldn’t it be a problem for her to return to The Villas at Repulse Bay?

But was he going to stay here with Jerold Rouco?

Estrella Berrocal could not do it.

The person who was there was not Adán Rouco at all.

For a moment, she felt frustrated.

Paulita came running up with a bang, grabbing a small can of milk and drinking it, “Estrella, why aren’t you with Papa?”

Estrella Berrocal knelt down, at Paulita’s height, grabbed Paulita’s little hand and said, “Paulita, if Estrella told you that the one who is there, is not daddy, would you believe Estrella?”

Paulita nodded seriously as she bit into her milk straw and looked wide-eyed, “Yes, Paulita would believe anything Estrella said.”

“Really?”

Did Estrella and Dad have a fight? Estrella actually disowned Dad!

Paulita nodded again and said, “Estrella, is daddy bullying you? Why? Daddy just came back and we all miss him, why isn’t Estrella okay with Daddy anymore?”.

“…”

Estrella Berrocal tugged on her lips and said, “Okay, did you come up here looking for daddy?”

“Yes!” Paulita had a carton of milk in her little hand and said, “I’ve gone upstairs to give Daddy milk! Daddy’s going to drink it so he won’t leave us when he gets well!”.

Estrella Berrocal’s eyes watered when she saw Paulita’s filial and obedient little face and touched her, “Paulita is so obedient”.

“Star, I’m going to give Daddy his milk! Then I’m going out to play with Estrella!”

“Go.”

Paulita went into the bedroom and came out happy after a while.

Paulita said, “Daddy says he likes Paulita very much and he likes the milk that Paulita gave him! Estrella, let’s not fight with daddy, okay?”.

Estrella Berrocal nodded, thinking that this Jerold Rouco, despite his bad attitude towards her, was at least being polite to Paulita, as long as he didn’t bully her.

Only … when will Adam return?

If it was true, as Jerold Rouco said, that he was destined to replace Adam Rouco, wouldn’t the chances of Adam returning now be slim?

“Star, what are you thinking!”

“Nothing, come on, let’s go to Paulita’s room to play with you and assemble the blocks, okay?”.

“Yes!”

Estrella Berrocal played with Paulita for a while and then helped the little one to take a bubble bath, the little one made bubbles all over her body, she also bathed in Paulita’s bath, after that, she planned to sleep in Paulita’s room, but, the booby, actually kept chasing her away.

“Star, this is not right. Dad just got home and you’re going to go sleep with him!”.

“But I haven’t been with Paulita for a long time either, I want to stay with Paulita tonight, doesn’t Paulita like it?”.

Paulita thought for a long time and said, “Yes, but I still think Estrella should go back to Papa’s room! She can sleep alone.

Estrella Berrocal had a headache, but Paulita wouldn’t let her sleep here, and her little hands were pushing her.

Estrella Berrocal returned to her bedroom, but as soon as she did she saw the carton of milk in the wastebasket in her room, the same carton that Paulita had brought up for her to drink.

When Jerold Rouco got out of the shower, Estrella Berrocal took the unopened milk carton and asked him: “Why did you throw away the milk that Paulita gave you to drink?

“She’s not my daughter, why would I buy her?”.

“You…”

Jerold Rouco grabbed a towel with one hand and absently wiped his wet black hair, completely ignoring Estrella Berrocal’s anger and said, “Oh, and that bottle of shampoo that Adán Rouco used in the bathroom, I don’t like that brand, I threw it away, if you want to pick it up again, I advise you to do it now, otherwise the maids will come to clean it and pack it soon.”

“Jerold Rouco, don’t overdo it!”

“Outraged?”

Jerold Rouco raised an eyebrow, turned around and grabbed Estrella Berrocal’s arm, pinning her roughly against the bed.

“You look very tasty to me, Adán Rouco’s wife, so how about …”

Before Jerold Rouco could finish his sentence, Estrella Berrocal became irritated and tried to slap him again, only to be restrained by Jerold Rouco: “And you want to hit me? You’re mean!”

“Let go of me! Let go of me!”

Jerold Rouco lowered his head and kissed her, pressing himself against her without moving.

Although it was the body of Adán Rouco, Estrella Berrocal was still scared to death and resisted.

“Let go of me!”

His teeth and claws were nothing more than a tickle for Jerold Rouco!

Estrella Berrocal cried as Jerold Rouco ripped off her clothes.

At the sight of those tears, Jerold Rouco’s movements stopped and his heart gave a sharp, undefined choke.

Estrella Berrocal took the opportunity to push him away, wrap herself in his clothes and escape from the bedroom.

Jerold Rouco sat up in bed, his hand unconsciously covering his heart, frowning.

Adán Rouco had not completely disappeared, his reaction was still strong, at least in front of Estrella Berrocal and Paulita, his presence was especially strong.

Estrella Berrocal and Paulita may be the key to awaken the conscience of Adán Rouco.

So, if I wanted to replace Adán Rouco and make him disappear forever, Estrella Berrocal and Paulita had to be eliminated!

When everyone was asleep, Estrella Berrocal watched over Paulita in the children’s room for a long, long time.

He lay down next to Paulita’s bed, his eyes aching, and whispered, “Paulita, I miss your father so much…”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

…

Early the next morning at the breakfast table.

Roberto Rouco said to Adán Rouco: “Then I’ll accompany you to the office and while we’re at it we’ll drop Paulita off at the nursery”.

Estrella Berrocal was quick to say, “Dad, I’ll take Paulita, you’re too busy at work and I’ll be idle alone.”

Fortunately, Roberto Rouco was not suspicious: “Yes, then you can take Paulita to kindergarten”.

When Felipa brought out the fried eggs, Jerold Rouco told her coldly: “Change all the kitchenware in my room”.

Felipa stared, puzzled.

Jerold Rouco explained: “I have survived a catastrophe and must return to get rid of bad luck, so it would be better to use new kitchenware.

Estrella Berrocal’s teary eyes begin to flutter, is she saying that Adam’s things are bad luck?

Roberto Rouco nods and says: “Adam is right, it’s time to go back and get rid of the bad luck”.

Estrella Berrocal bites her lip, puts down her knife and fork and says, “Enjoy your meal, I’m full.”

Roberto Rouco frowns and says, “Estrella, now you are pregnant, even if you have no appetite, you have to eat more for the sake of the baby.”

Estrella Berrocal nodded obediently and Paulita, who had just finished eating, reached over and grabbed Estrella Berrocal’s hand, “Estrella, I’ve finished eating too, come on! Grandpa, daddy, I’m going to school!”.

“Go on, take care of yourself!”
