Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

“The most important thing for you to do now is to get well and take care of your baby, for everything else, don’t worry.”

Adán Rouco dried her hair and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

Estrella Berrocal brushed her lips and said, “Then I’ll have to stay home from tomorrow and not go anywhere?”

The way things were going, Adán Rouco was probably not going to allow him to go out to work.

“Do you want to go back to work at Yahua Film and Television Company?”.

Her eyes deepened and Estrella Berrocal frowned and said, “No, it’s impossible for me to go back to work for Jonathan Tasis, but I can’t stay at home from now on, I’d die of boredom.”

Besides, if he did not work now, would he have no income and be totally dependent on Adán Rouco?

She was afraid that one day Adán Rouco would get bored, and what would she do then?

Isn’t it said in books that even if two people love each other, if the difference between them is too great, they will end up separating because they have nothing to say to each other?

Adán Rouco was so good and had such a good career, while she, a dejected girl, had no career and no family.

Adán Rouco pursed his thin lips and asked, “Would you like to work by my side?”

“… It’s better to forget it.”

Adán Rouco clasped her in his arms, his large hands caressing her slender back, and sighed, “Then stay home nursing your baby, and when you have it and your body recovers, then I won’t stop you from working wherever you want.”

“Adam, those good friends you have around you, do they all have good girlfriends?”.

At her question, Adán Rouco frowned slightly: “Why are you asking all of a sudden?”.

Estrella Berrocal chuckled and said, “I don’t think I have low self-esteem, La Empresa Berrocal is bankrupt, I have no money, I have no one at home to take care of me, I have no job and no career, I feel . . you don’t think I’m good enough for you”.

Even if she did not like Olivia Montes, she had to admit that she was more daughter-in-law of Villa Rouco than she was.

She hung her little face, a little dejected, as Adam Rouco’s dark eyes looked deep into her. “Don’t I need a girlfriend who is good at her job or who is good at her career, or do you think I’m not good enough and need to find a girlfriend who is very capable to help me with my career?”

“… I definitely didn’t mean that.”

She knew that a man in Adán Rouco’s position did not need to expand his professional footprint with any kind of business association.

Is that …

“It seems that I don’t know you at all, Olivia Montes knows all your tastes and preferences, Julieta Sarinana knows what goes through your head, but me, I know neither your preferences nor what goes through your head, and if we go on like this, I’m afraid that someday you will get tired of me.”

I was uneasy because Adán Rouco was too good, so much so that I admired him.

And it was normal for her, with nothing to fall back on, to have that mentality, wasn’t it?

Adam Rouco laughed lightly, “There will be time to get to know me later, but the truth is I don’t need to find a woman who moves as fast as my brain to spend the rest of my life with, that would be too boring.”

Estrella Berrocal bristled, “Ah, you mean my brain is slow and I’m stupid?”.

“A little bit.”

“…”

But Adán Rouco had to admit that he liked the way the woman reacted slowly and without enthusiasm.

Perhaps it was because of the complex environment in which he had grown up, because of the perfection and cunning of the women he had surrounded himself with as an adult and after setting up his own business, or perhaps because he was too tired to be around them and too needy to pretend to be himself, so he felt at ease with a small woman like Estrella Berrocal, who had no ambition, and could loosen his nerves and live his own life.

Men have a natural drive and desire to protect the weak. Strong women at work are not really to their liking.

Estrella Berrocal is curious: “You’ve been around so many beautiful girls, have you never felt attracted to them?”.

To be honest, Adán Rouco is not really a puritan, it’s just that after thirty-two years of life, all women, except Estrella Berrocal, seem to be a bit homogenized in his eyes.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

It’s not that Estrella Berrocal is special, but that the professionally dressed and made-up women are so elegant and sharp in their negotiations that Adán Rouco finds it difficult to protect them.

She has tried to accept female partners in the business world, but perhaps the context in which she finds herself is so important that she finds it difficult to transfer her identity to such strong women as partners, rivals, colleagues.

Of course, it’s not that the old man didn’t introduce him to some famous women, but those who were more capable than Estrella Berrocal were not that interesting, and those who were more interesting than Estrella Berrocal, Adán Rouco found too pretentious.

It’s not unpleasant. After all, Adán Rouco is a man with a sense of time, and every minute he has is worth a lot of money.

“I’m surrounded by strong women, and when I marry a strong woman, I fight with her from the office to the house and I can’t stop, Estrella, I want to relax too, it’s quite tiring to spend the rest of my life with a mirror in my face.”

Estrella Berrocal thought he was right, “Before I got together with you, I thought you must like a beautiful, capable and very capable woman, after all, you are so good that such a woman would be worthy of you.”

Estrella Berrocal’s thoughts were normal, because a normal person would probably think that his spouse, who must come from a prestigious family, would be able to watch the financial actions at home with him and compete with him in the business world, but, frankly, Adán Rouco did not want to be with a woman who could always count on him.

Estrella Berrocal matches fingers and hesitantly asks, “So, you notice me because I’m a softie with little power?”

The man’s dark eyes narrowed and a look of urgency flashed under them, “Soft is right, one look and you want to sleep with her.”

“…”

Estrella Berrocal’s mouth twitched, so this was adrenaline-induced?

He should not expect to hear any compliments from Adán Rouco.

“But do I really have … no other good points?”

thought Estrella Berrocal with a frown, she was not so useless.

“The only thing you have going for you is the fact that you can be seen by me, and that’s enough.”

“…”

That was obviously a bit arrogant, but she was still damn sweet on the inside …

She lifted her face and looked straight at him, “Can I understand that you never had your eye on a girl before until I came along and suddenly you had your heart set on her?”

Adam Rouco stared at her for a long moment and finally, curling his long fingers, tapped her forehead. “It’s nighttime.”

“…”

Did he mean that it was time for her to wake up from her reverie?

Estrella Berrocal hummed softly and pulled the covers over her head. “The night is just right for dreaming!”.
