Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

When Felipa returned with Paulita in tow, Paulita had in her hands the cream puffs and sandwiches she had bought and was smiling innocently and adorably at Estrella Berrocal in her hospital bed with her big eyes. “Look Estrella, I bought lots of yummy things! What do you like to eat?”.

Juliet Sarinana got up, picked up her bag and said, “I’ll let you rest, Paulita, Aunt Juliet is leaving, I’ll see you and Estrella next time.”

Paulita nodded with her little chin and said thoughtfully, “Yes, Aunt Julieta, take care on your way.”

“Okay, stay with Estrella, Aunt Julieta is leaving.”

When Julieta Sarinana left, Paulita looked at Estrella Berrocal with a small mouth and grabbed her by the arm and shook her: “Estrella, what’s the matter, didn’t you like anything I bought?

“Why not, I love everything Paulita buys.”

In his mind, a jumble, was the news that Analena Lozada was still alive.

What did Julieta Sarinana mean when she told him that Analena Lozada was still alive?

Was it to remind her that she, the “alternate”, could resign?

Because the protagonist is coming back?

…

Estrella Berrocal had been distracted all day and when Adán Rouco arrived at the hospital after work, Paulita ran to him and hugged him.

“Dad, can you get off work later to be with Estrella and me? Dad, if you make a little less money, Paulita will be able to have a little less snack!”.

Adán Rouco raised his hand and stroked the little girl’s head, smiling slightly, “Yes, daddy will get off work early and stay with you.”

Paulita had been with Estrella Berrocal all day, so Adán Rouco said to Felipa: “Felipa, you can take Paulita back to La Villa Rouco”.

“Yes, Third Young Master.”

Paulita winked at Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal, her little hand grabbed Estrella Berrocal’s and Adán Rouco’s hands and clasped them together, her little adult tone and little girl voice saying, “Be, you have to be happy with daddy!”

And there was Felipa, smiling kindly at her side, and Estrella Berrocal, with her thin skin, blushed slightly.

Adán Rouco gave it no importance: “Come on, go back to Felipa. In the morning you can go back with Felipa to see Estrella”.

“Yes, I’m so glad I don’t have to study for a few days! That Lorenzo Obregon at the daycare pulls my hair every day, so I’ll finally have a few days of peace!”

Estrella Berrocal snorted and burst out laughing, “What is Lorenzo Obregón doing pulling your hair?”.

Paulita said arrogantly, “I think you like me, say it! Why do you always pull my hair, it falls out! Even if he says he likes me, I don’t accept him!”.

Adán Rouco raised his hand and tapped the little girl’s white forehead, frowning and asking in a deep voice, “How old are you and what do you know about tastes?”

“Daddy, you’re hurting me! Of course I know what it’s like, daddy you like Estrella, don’t you!”.

Adán Rouco felt defeated for the first time and his dark eyes glared at the little girl, Paulita was not frightened and frowned: “Daddy, you’re always so mean, you’re going to scare Estrella away!”

Estrella Berrocal couldn’t help herself: “Felipa, take Paulita with you, your Third Young Master is going to have a tantrum”.

Felipa pulled Paulita aside, “come on little boy, get out of here, you’re the only one who dares to talk about your father like that!”

Paulita was taken out of the room with a wobble by Felipa.

As soon as he left, Adán Rouco pulled the little woman who had teased him into his arms, frowning, “What did you just call me, Third Young Master?”

The man’s large hand, pinched her hard around the waist.

Estrella Berrocal blushed, “Be gentle…”

Adam Rouco’s hand stroked from her waist to her lower back, patting her gently.

Estrella Berrocal laughed again, looking at the man who had asked her that question with such seriousness, and said amused: “The baby is less than a month old, it is not yet formed, it cannot make a fuss even if it wants to, Adán Rouco, do you have any sense?

She leaned into his arms and inadvertently squeezed his wound, the man grunted, Estrella Berrocal quickly pulled away and reached out to gently caress his chest, “How’s your wound? Do you need your medicine changed today?”

Adán Rouco only responded with indifference: “Yes”.

Estrella Berrocal’s eyes reddened slightly and she said eagerly, “It must hurt, I’m sorry…”

The man grabbed her head and squeezed her in his arms, “I’m a little tired, let me hold you for a while.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“That will put pressure on your wound…”

Adán Rouco held the woman in his arms, closed his eyes and let out a small sigh, “It doesn’t hurt.”

It really didn’t hurt?

Estrella Berrocal leaned into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck, remembering that Analena Lozada was still alive, she hesitated, should she tell him the news?

It would have been a great surprise for Adán Rouco … he would have been so excited that he would have left her behind immediately and gone to look for Analena Lozada.

Suddenly she had bad intentions, she didn’t want to tell Adán Rouco now, she wanted Adán Rouco to spend more time with her.

Estrella Berrocal reassured that she would leave him soon anyway, and then it would not be too late for him to make love with Analena Lozada.

“Adam, the doctor says I’m fine, you should let Paulita go to school tomorrow, don’t come to the hospital with me, there are a lot of germs and it’s not good for children to be in the hospital all the time, I’m getting moldy in the hospital, I want to get out.”

Adam Rouco’s chin brushed her soft hair and he disagreed, “Stay a few more days for observation.”

“I’m doing very well.”

“You can leave the hospital if you want to, but you are pregnant now and I will not allow you to go back to work at Yawar.”

Estrella Berrocal nodded, “Even if you don’t say it, I won’t work at Yawar again.”

Adán Rouco opened his dark eyes and looked at her strangely, Estrella Berrocal touched his face, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

The man’s thin lips suddenly curved playfully, “I’m a little uncomfortable with your sudden change in behavior.”

“…”

Estrella Berrocal’s ears blushed.

The man’s burning gaze upon her, the way the little woman in his arms blushed, made Adam Rouco itch a little, and he lowered his head, kissing her lips.

Estrella Berrocal gently struggled: “This is a hospital … you have to let me go … someone will see you”.

“Star, I’ve been thinking about you all day.”

The man pressed against her ear, his breath spraying hotly against her neck, and he said it in such a lovely, magnetic voice that Estrella Berrocal couldn’t resist at all, tilting her little face up and taking the initiative to kiss him.

The kiss, however, was too shallow for Adán Rouco, whose dark eyes fixed on the soft, white lobe of his ear….

Estrella Berrocal’s body heats up at his deep gaze and she raises her hand to cover his eyes, her voice soft with embarrassment, “Stop looking.”

If she kept looking, she feared the man would make out with her in the hospital room.

Adán Rouco was very needy, and Estrella Berrocal’s heart got a little choked up at the thought.

“When you’re with other women, do you also do it a lot with them…?”
