Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal stood in the lobby carrying her breakfast and politely asked Santino Yepes if he wanted to come in for a glass of water, naturally Santino Yepes didn’t really want to come in and hurriedly shook her hand saying, “I leave Miss Estrella and the Chief alone. ”

If he went in to get a glass of water or something, he wouldn’t be too insensitive if the boss woke up and saw him afterwards!

Estrella Berrocal’s face heated up and she nodded, and just as Santino Yepes was about to turn and leave, Estrella Berrocal remembered what Adán Rouco didn’t want to talk about the night before, and was curious to know what he was up to that night when he asked her to go up to the top floor of the Banyan Tree Hotel.

“Mr. Santino, there is something I want to ask you.”

“Miss Star, please.”

“Do you know why Adán Rouco asked me to meet him at the Banyan Tree Hotel the other night?”.

Santino Yepes smiled meaningfully and said, “The truth is that Miss Estrella should not have stood up the Chief that night; that night, the Chief was trying to propose to Miss Estrella.”

…

Estrella Berrocal washed up, unpacked the breakfast Santino Yepes had bought and put it on a plate, fried two eggs and heated two glasses of milk to take to the table.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Just as she came out of the kitchen, Adán Rouco stood up and approached her with his long legs, his long arms encircling her waist from behind, feeling her waist between his arms, as slim as ever, and frowning slightly. “How can you still be so thin when you’re pregnant?”

She didn’t even dare to push, as if she would break if he hit her a couple of times, she was soft and thin, calling him to love her, but pitying her.

Estrella Berrocal turned to him and raised her hand to unconsciously touch the buttons of his shirt. “She’s only a month old, the doctor said it takes at least four or five months to show, some pregnancies aren’t quite visible at six months, it’s normal.”

Adán Rouco looked at her and then at the hearty breakfast on the table, “Did you get up early to make me breakfast?”

Estrella Berrocal smiled and said, “I only fried two eggs and heated two glasses of milk, the rest was brought earlier by Sister Santino”.

The man said nothing and Estrella Berrocal thought he was upset, so she grabbed his arm and immediately said, “Shall I make you breakfast in the morning?”

Adán Rouco raised his hand and stroked her long, soft, fluffy hair, saying: “Come on, you don’t have to make a fuss when you’re pregnant”.

It’s not your problem if it’s bad, is it?

“…”

Estrella Berrocal peeled back her lips, she had rarely tried to express her feelings, but this man disgusted her.

Adán Rouco went to the bathroom to wash himself and Estrella Berrocal followed him with small steps, while Adán Rouco was standing on the sink brushing his teeth, Estrella Berrocal approached him from behind and put her arms around his waist.

With her face pressed against his broad, straight back, the woman softly called out to him, “Adam.”

The only sound he received in response was the sound of brushing his teeth.

Estrella Berrocal rubbed softly, “That night you asked me out to the Banyan Tree Hotel to propose to me, didn’t you?”

Although I had already heard from Sr. Santino that it was true, I still wanted to hear it in person.

Adán Rouco spat out the mouthwash and toothpaste foam, in an indifferent and emotionless voice: “No”.

Hearing him deny, Estrella Berrocal’s mouth puffed out, her black and white eyes staring at him, “Mr. Santino told me you were going to propose to me that night.”

Was he trying to renege?

Adán Rouco brushed his teeth, washed his face, pulled away from the small hands she had entangled around his waist, turned to look at her anxious face with a particular calmness and said, “I did intend to propose to you that night, but didn’t you stand me up? After that moment, I am no longer in the mood.”

“…”

This man, was he serious?

Adam Rouco, looking at her slightly aggrieved little face, became playful for a moment, cupping her thin, white chin with his long fingers and lifting it, leaning in and pressing his thin lips against hers.

The man had just finished brushing his teeth and the smell of fresh mint toothpaste in his mouth was strong and pleasant, and Estrella Berrocal felt a little overwhelmed by his kiss, her arms resting around his waist as she gently responded to him.

The man, having kissed her to satiety, released her with few directions, and only very lightly commanded, “Go and have your breakfast, or it will get cold.”

Estrella Berrocal followed him, somewhat bored, to the living room, where she sat down to breakfast at the small, modest table.

Adán Rouco was not very talkative when he ate, and Estrella Berrocal followed him, just … she had missed his proposal, would she really not ask him again?

She thought about this and unconsciously bit her chopsticks. When Adam Rouco looked up, he saw her thoughtfully biting her chopsticks and wrinkled his brow slightly and said to her in a deep voice, “Don’t bite your chopsticks when you eat, eat more when you are pregnant, don’t be like cat food.”

Estrella Berrocal gave an obedient “mmm” and ate her bowl of tofu meatballs, which were tender and creamy, with small shrimp and peanuts to give them a fresh taste, but after a few bites, she lost her mind and looked at Adán Rouco, who was eating, and said, “I really didn’t know you were going to propose that night, and I thought you wouldn’t want to be with me if you knew Analena Lozada was still alive. …”

Adam Rouco’s graceful movements as he ate, stalled slightly as he put down his chopsticks, his dark eyes fixed on her. “Judging my thoughts without asking me, just by guessing?”.

I would have preferred Estrella Berrocal to ask him, to ask him plain and simple.

Estrella Berrocal didn’t want to ask him, but she didn’t dare.

He lowered his face a little and said in a muffled voice: “I have asked you before about Analena Lozada, and every time you kept quiet about Analena Lozada, and every time you reacted with a little force, and when Analena Lozada came back alive, I had no courage.

He paused, unable to say what he wanted to say.

Adán Rouco, however, pressed her, hoping she would say more: “More afraid of what?”

“More afraid that you never liked it.”

After saying this, Estrella Berrocal’s heart was pounding like thunder, she was very attentive to Adán Rouco’s reaction and response, and a little scared.

Adán Rouco said nothing for a good while, his dark eyes just stared at her, Estrella Berrocal felt uncomfortable by the look, biting her lip, she stiffened her courage and asked, “Did you keep me with you because I look a little like Analena Lozada? ”

Adán Rouco looked at her amused, “Who told you that you look like Analena Lozada?”.

“Jonathan Tasis,” added Estrella Berrocal, “and Julieta Sarinana also said that I looked like Analena Lozada, I… I have met Analena Lozada and yes I do look a little bit like her.”

Having said that, and a little less confident, he asked Adán Rouco: “Isn’t that right?”.

Adán Rouco was about to answer Estrella Berrocal when his cell phone rang and the caller ID showed that it was the Villa La Villa Rouco’s landline number.

Adán Rouco picked up the phone and answered, but his eyes were still on Estrella Berrocal.

No sooner had I answered the call than a small, childlike voice came over the phone, “Dad! Have you been looking for Estrella?”

“Do you miss her very much?”

The little boy was anxious: “Have you found Estrella, daddy? Grandpa has asked me to pick out a pretty aunt for you again.”

“Tell your grandfather, just tell him I have a wife.”

Adán Rouco said this with a dark gaze so deep it was impenetrable, and Estrella Berrocal’s heart fluttered.
