Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Faced with Adam Rouco’s fierce and cold interrogation, Estrella Berrocal suddenly felt a flash of anger in her heart. “Where was I last night, did you worry about me? Yes, I shouldn’t have left Paulita last night, but what about you, you left Paulita too, didn’t you?”.

The man’s dark eyes looked at her as if he wanted to eat her, his grip on her wrist tightened inch by inch, almost crushing her bones, his brow furrowed in pain, “Adam Rouco, let go of me!”

“Let go? Let go of you for being in cahoots with Jonathan Tasis.”

Estrella Berrocal’s heart fluttered wildly and her watery eyes stared at him incredulously, “Adam Rouco, have you sent someone to follow me?”

Her insulting words were like a dagger, driven hard into his chest, a knife that saw no blood, but was deadly enough.

“I’m not that boring!”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

She froze and suddenly scoffed, and yes, how was it possible that he had the heart to send someone to follow her when he was in such a hurry to tangle with that Blue Bay Public House.

Heh, at this point I was still making a fool of myself!

She tugged at the corners of her pale lips, “Why ask me if you already know, yes, I was with Jonathan Tasis last night, I spent the night at Jonathan Tasis’ house!”.

“Estrella Berrocal!”

The man was furious, the veins on his forehead were bulging and his hands were strangling his thin neck!

Estrella Berrocal coughed violently from lack of air, her face flushed red!

“Cough, cough… cough, cough…”

Adán Rouco’s hands tightened, inch by inch, and Estrella Berrocal could hear the click-click-click-click-click of his neck, and if only Adán Rouco had exerted a little more force, she probably would have died of suffocation!

The man’s black eyes were scarlet, like an enraged cheetah, his gaze was cold and insidious until he saw the woman slowly close her eyes, a tear stain slipped from the corner of her eyes and she stopped struggling, then he slowly loosened his grip …

Estrella Berrocal fell to the side of the floor, weak and exhausted, breathing hard and coughing loudly, her neck ached, but not as much as she felt inside.

Suddenly he smiled sadly, stood up and looked at his red neck and said, “Adán Rouco, you know what? I remember very well the last time you almost strangled me like this, the last time you did it for Olivia Montes, and this time you almost strangled me again, not because you loved me, not because you were jealous, simply because you couldn’t bear the thought of me betraying you!”

Seeing her pale, weak face, Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed and he unconsciously raised his hand to push her away. “Estrella…”

“Don’t touch me!” Estrella Berrocal pushed his hand away with a gesture, “Adán Rouco, from now on, we are bridge to bridge and road to road.”

She turned to leave and Adán Rouco cornered her against the wall again. “You can start this game and end it whenever you want, Estrella Berrocal, you’re not going anywhere until I say so!”

Did he think it was so easy that if she wanted to start the game, he would play along, and if she wanted to end it, he would have to end it with her?

From now on, no matter how much trust she asked him for, he would make her pay for it, with interest!

“What are you doing!”

Estrella Berrocal looked at him in horror as Adán Rouco grabbed her wrist, his thin lips curved in a smile that sent shivers down her spine. “What do you mean, what are you going to do?” “Send Paulita to school, of course, do you want Paulita to know we’re fighting?”

Estrella Berrocal was stunned for a moment, she was already being pushed into the car by Adán Rouco, Estrella Berrocal’s little face went out, “Adán Rouco, you …”

Over there, Paulita had run out of the house with her little school bag on her back and looked at Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal with a quizzical look on her face, “Dad, Estrella, were you arguing?”

Adán Rouco gathered his emotions and smiled slightly without moving: “Of course not, get in the car and take you to school”.

Paulita looked at the two adults strangely, and when they reached the car and sat in the back with Estrella Berrocal, the little girl looked up and saw the obvious red marks on Estrella Berrocal’s neck and asked curiously, “Estrella, what happened to your neck?”

Estrella Berrocal froze, touched her neck and said: “Me, I’m fine, I didn’t sleep well last night”.

Paulita was convinced and said with a soft “Oh” and a thoughtful “Don’t wring your neck again tonight, Estrella, it’s going to hurt.”

Estrella Berrocal gave a distracted “yes” and raised her hand to caress Paulita’s little head.

After taking Paulita to daycare, Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal were the only ones left in the car.

Estrella Berrocal had thought that Adán Rouco would not send her to work at Yahua Film and Television Company, but instead, Adán Rouco left her at Yahua Film and Television Company.

Even as he was about to get out of the car, he looked at her in the rearview mirror with those stern black eyes and warned her, “I’ll pick you up from work tonight, don’t run away before then.”

Estrella Berrocal pressed her palms together, she was beginning to lose track of Adán Rouco, the man was so unpredictable, why was he keeping her close when he knew she had been with Jonathan Tasis the night before?

However, Adam Rouco probably did not know about her relationship with Jonathan Tasis until now, probably Adam Rouco was just upset because she had spent the night at Jonathan Tasis’ house….

But Estrella Berrocal was oblivious to the situation and simply replied indifferently: “Understood, I’ll wait for you”.

Now that Adán Rouco was afraid of him, it would be difficult to win his trust again.

Once inside the office, she went to the bathroom and used the foundation and powder she carried in her purse to try to cover up the pinches on her neck.

But the pinch marks were so obvious that they wouldn’t go away in a while, even with foundation and powder, and she looked at the woman’s pale face in the mirror, utterly defeated.

Why was he messing it all up now.

He said he wanted to earn Adán Rouco’s trust and help avenge his father’s death, but instead he had sunk again and again into the stellar affection Adán Rouco had given him.

At this moment, the scene that still lingers in his mind is the night Adán Rouco spent at the Blue Bay Public House, embracing that woman.

He took a deep breath and took a long moment to calm his emotions in the bathroom before heading to the design department.

…

In the afternoon, Jonathan Tasis called her at the office.

Jonathan Tasis glanced at the red marks on her neck and asked with a frown, “Did Adam Rouco make a pass at you when you came back this morning?”

Estrella Berrocal shook her head, “No, it’s just that I already knew I had spent the night at your house last night and I was angry.”

Jonathan Tasis reached over and raised his hand to touch the marks on Estrella Berrocal’s neck, Estrella Berrocal unconsciously recoiled, “President Jonathan?”

“Why are you nervous, I just wanted to see the wound on your neck.”
