Chapter 276: Being a child before him for life
Adán Rouco took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions before entering the room.
Estrella Berrocal, lying on the hospital bed, fresh from the injection and looking bad, saw Adán Rouco and anxiously asked him, “Adán, what did the doctor say?”
Adán Rouco wanted to tell her that he would not keep the baby, but when he saw how anxious she was, he could not stand it.
Sitting on the edge of his hospital bed, he reached out and rubbed her hair, his thin lips formed a bow and said, “It’s okay, the doctor said to take care of yourself and that the best thing to do was to recover.”
Estrella Berrocal looked at him and asked again and again with uncertainty, “Really?”.
Adán Rouco looked into her teary eyes and nodded: “Take a nap, I’ll be here, I’m not leaving”.
“Hmm.”
Adán Rouco helped her to lie down and tucked her in, but Estrella Berrocal was half asleep and could not sleep.
“Adam, I can’t sleep.”
Adán Rouco reached out his hand and covered his eyes: “Close them and you will fall asleep in a moment”.
“…”
Adán Rouco spent the day in the hospital on official business, and early the next morning Estrella Berrocal saw that he had not left.
“You don’t have to go to the office today either? I thought it was okay, why don’t you go to the office?”
Adán Rouco, on the other hand, got her out of bed and told her: “Today we can leave the hospital and I will not go to the doctor’s office, today I will accompany you outside”.
Estrella Berrocal stood up next to him and looked at him strangely: “But didn’t the doctor say to rest and recover? Can I go out with you?”.
“It’s okay, the doctor also said to walk, it’s not like we’re going to do any strenuous exercise, I’ll just take you out to eat something you want and watch a movie with you.”
However, Estrella Berrocal threw her arms around his neck and asked him, “So, are we going on a date today?”.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“Hmm.” Adán Rouco responded with indifference.
After Estrella Berrocal changed, Adán Rouco bent down and helped her put on her shoes.
After washing up and leaving the hospital, Adán Rouco took Estrella Berrocal out for breakfast.
Sitting in the car, Adán Rouco asked him, “What do you want for breakfast?”.
Estrella Berrocal thought for half a day and said: “Well … I’d like to eat the sandwiches and tater tots they sell in the little shop near La Ciudad Santa school. ”
Estrella Berrocal did not expect Adán Rouco to drive her to the small store near La Ciudad Santa high school.
After finding a place to park and parking the car, Adán Rouco sat her down at one of the outdoor tables and chairs where she had breakfast.
Estrella Berrocal sat down and watched Adán Rouco buy her a sandwich and Estrella Berrocal warned him, “Adán, I don’t want sweet, I want the kind with peas in it!”
The waiter who prepared the sandwich listened to her and said with a smile, “Yes, your daughter-in-law loves ham, put lettuce and ham on it. ”
The waitress who prepared the sandwich was very skillful and in a few moments had wrapped a ham sandwich and handed it to Adán Rouco.
Adán Rouco asked for more potato pancakes and put them in front of Estrella Berrocal.
“Eat.
Estrella Berrocal saw that he had only bought one and asked, “Aren’t you going to eat?”.
“I’m not hungry, you can eat.”
Adán Rouco doesn’t eat much breakfast and today he doesn’t feel like it.
Estrella Berrocal smiled at him and took the hot ham sandwich, unable to resist her appetite: “Well, I’ll eat it first!”.
A bite, wrapped in lettuce, ham sausage and a bit of meat thread, Estrella Berrocal was particularly good in this bite.
When I was in high school, I couldn’t wait for breakfast to be a sandwich and pancakes every morning.
It has been years since he has had an itch and he especially misses it.
Adán Rouco saw how well she was eating and looked at her with his eyebrows cocked, “That good?”.
“Yeah, you want to try a bite?”
Estrella Berrocal handed the sandwich she had bitten directly to Adán Rouco’s thin lips, but she was not feeling very hygienic and was about to ask Adán Rouco to go buy another one, when he had already taken a bite of her hand and lowered his head.
Estrella Berrocal sat across from him, her ears slightly flushed, and asked, “Tastes good, doesn’t it?”
Adán Rouco replied lightly: “It’s nice”.
She hung her face and took the bite of her sandwich, only to feel the male gaze on her head, hotter.
By the time Estrella Berrocal finished waking up, full of food, she looked up at him.
“Why are you being so nice to me today, you’re not hiding something from me, are you?”
Adán Rouco, acting stoically, suddenly approached and Estrella Berrocal moved unconsciously, the man frowned slightly, “Don’t move.”
Estrella Berrocal remained seated and Adán Rouco twisted a grain of rice stuck to the side of her mouth: “How old are you to be filtering rice at dinner?
Estrella Berrocal came closer and rested her head on his shoulder, saying sweetly, “I’d rather be a child for the rest of my life when you spoil me.”
“Three years?”
“Can’t he be three years old?”
Adán Rouco growled under his breath, “I’m not sleeping with three-year-old Estrella Berrocal. ”
“…”
After leaving the breakfast stand, Adán Rouco took her to watch the movie again.
It was not a weekend, but a weekday morning, and there were not many people in the cinema, except for a couple sitting in front of them.
Adán Rouco bought two cokes and a large bucket of popcorn.
Estrella Berrocal wanted to drink Coca-Cola, but then she asked him with particular hesitation: “Can I drink Coca-Cola when I’m pregnant? Will carbonated drinks be bad for the baby?
Adán Rouco reassures: “With a few sips it will be fine”.
Estrella Berrocal took a couple of sips and really stopped drinking.
The lights in the theater dimmed, the dark screen opposite lit up, and the movie began after a brief announcement.
Estrella Berrocal chose the film, a romantic comedy.
The first part is quite funny, but the film becomes a bit poignant in the second half, when Estrella Berrocal becomes more emotional after her pregnancy and can’t help but shed tears.
Adán Rouco’s mind was not on the movie all the time, so he quickly noticed Estrella Berrocal’s mood and took her head in his big hands, pushing it to his shoulder.
Estrella Berrocal rubbed her wet eyes against her shoulder.
Finally, in the film, the hero proposes to the heroine in a helicopter, which is very romantic.
Estrella Berrocal was again moved to tears.
In the darkness, Adán Rouco reached out and dropped his fingers into the corners of her eyes, gently wiping away her tears.
Estrella Berrocal was buried in his arms.
Leaving the theater, Adán Rouco asked, “Was it that moving?”
Estrella Berrocal’s eyes were still red: “You don’t understand.”
Women are more emotional creatures than men, and men are indifferent to many romantic movies, as is the case with Adán Rouco, because they are convinced that it would never happen to them, and that the movies are fake.
They walked through the mall and entered a mother and baby products store, where a saleswoman enthusiastically enticed them in.
It turns out that Estrella Berrocal was especially interested in seeing the products for mother and baby and listened attentively as the shopper presented them to her.
Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed slightly as he stood next to her, somewhat uncomfortably.
“Miss, look, this stroller, it can sleep children from one to two years old, it’s an imported stroller, it’s on special offer, do you think you and your husband want to buy one to stay?”
Estrella Berrocal, caught by the cute little car, asked the man next to her: “Adam, shall we go ahead and buy it, it’s on sale today?
Adán Rouco hastened: “If you like it, we’ll take it”.
The guide smiled: “How generous the gentleman is, he loves his wife at first sight”.
Estrella Berrocal blushed when the guide added, “So, ma’am, shall we go see something else?”
“Yes.”
After buying a lot, Adán Rouco left an address for his store to send directly to his home and Estrella Berrocal was in a good mood when she left the family store.
“Hey Adam, would we be buying too soon?”
“It’s not early, the baby says it’s coming.”
Adán Rouco raised his wrist to check the time on his wristwatch, it was already lunchtime, and asked: “What do you want to eat?
Estrella Berrocal thought about it and said: “I would like a Fabada, I don’t know if they have it in this mall”.
