Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal told Dulcina Calvo the truth: “Adán Rouco has a cousin, the daughter of his second uncle’s family, who seems to cling to him and has admired him since he was a child, but this cousin, it seems, is especially hostile to me”.

“Did you inadvertently offend her somewhere?”

Estrella Berrocal tried to think of an occasion when she would have offended Arella Rouco, “I have only been with her once or twice, and every time I have had a hot face, she has been especially unfriendly to me, and although we will not see much of each other in the future, I think it is best, as Adán Rouco’s wife, that we do not see each other very often.

“That’s true, but to hear you say that, marriage is a bummer, I don’t even want to get married.”

Estrella Berrocal looked at the screen and snorted, “You’re really not getting married? Doesn’t your mother rush you?”.

“Wow, forget it, I just got a call from my mom and she asked me to take Lazaro Morejon to dinner at her house, but I broke up with Lazaro Morejon and I still don’t know how to tell my mom, she will blame me for not doing it right, it’s so annoying.”

The first thing Estrella Berrocal thought of was Esteban Zaragosa, who, curiously, is always the first person that comes to mind when it comes to Dulcina Calvo.

“How about … you ask Esteban Zaragosa to accompany you back, and if your mother meets Esteban Zaragosa, maybe she’ll be so happy that she’ll forget about you and Lazaro Morejon. ”

“Gee … bringing Esteban Zaragosa home, I’m afraid I’ve lived too long, or not, I don’t want to get in trouble.”

After a little chat with Dulcina, she lay back on the soft pillows and fell asleep.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

She didn’t know how long she had been asleep when she felt someone snatch the phone from her hand and, gently startled, she opened her eyes to see the blurry, hazy figure of Adán Rouco.

“Why do you always sleep with your phone in your hand?”

Adán Rouco gently scolded her as he tucked her in.

Estrella Berrocal stirred herself into a comfortable position and murmured in a muffled voice: “I fell asleep talking to Dulcina, did you just get back?”.

“Hmm.”

“How’s the second guy, is he awake?”

Adán Rouco said in a light voice: “He woke up, the doctor said he is fine”.

Estrella Berrocal nodded, a little sleepy but unable to go back to sleep, and asked with a yawn, “What time is it?”

“It’s almost ten o’clock.”

When Adán Rouco leaned toward her, Estrella Berrocal reached out and wrapped her hand around his neck in a gentle motion: “Have you been with Arella Rouco?

Adam Rouco was slightly dazed as he curved his lips and looked down at his face, which tightened red in sleep, and pinched his long fingers. “Jealousy?”

Estrella Berrocal snuggled into his arms and said in a discordant voice, “I don’t know if it’s that I’m thinking too much, but it always seemed to me that Arella Rouco felt something unusual for you, and she always seemed to think it was me who kept you away from her.”

There was a hint of resignation in his words.

Adán Rouco put his arm around her waist, kissed the temples of her ears and said, “Don’t listen to him.”

Estrella Berrocal’s lips curved.

Adán Rouco’s greatest pain is always his wife.

Estrella Berrocal snuggled into his chest and said, “Then let’s go to the hospital together tomorrow to see Uncle Dos.”

“Good.”

…

The next day, Estrella Berrocal made a fish stew and went with Adán Rouco to see Fresco Rouco in the hospital.

Shoshana Duque and Arella Rouco are in the hospital.

As soon as Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal entered the room, Fresco Rouco’s eyes, which rested on them, smiled and said: “Adán, Estrella, you are already here”.

Adán Rouco asked: “Tío Dos, we have come to see you, are you feeling well today?

“I’ve been fine.”

Adán Rouco approached the thermos bucket he was carrying to the cabinet next to the hospital bed and said, “Second Uncle, this is Estrella’s morning fish soup, are you going to eat it while it’s hot?”

Fresco Rouco looked at Estrella Berrocal with tender eyes: “It’s hard for you to get up early to make me fish soup when you’re pregnant”.

This good-natured and obedient girl has a much better temperament than the spoiled Arella, and in fact resembles the warm and sweet temperament of Juanisha Capistrán.

Only, would this little girl hate him if she knew he was her real father …. from now on?

He now has a beautiful family and even has a son with his nephew; if his origins were to come to light, it would be a scandal for both the Rouco family and themselves.

Shoshana Duque is right, why not let it rot in her stomach?

Shoshana Duque saw the way Fresco Rouco was looking at Estrella Berrocal and frowned.

Do you like Juanisha Capistran’s daughter that much?

“Arella, you haven’t had breakfast either, your father can’t finish this fish soup alone, have this fish soup with your father, at least it’s a token of appreciation from your sister-in-law”.

Arella Rouco frowned, reluctantly, “Mom, I don’t like fish soup!”.

Let alone Estrella Berrocal’s fish soup! Who knows if there is poison in this soup!

But Shoshana Duque was harsh, “How can you waste a piece of your sister-in-law’s heart?”

Seeing Shoshana Duque’s frown, Arella Rouco bit her lip and poured a bowl for Fresco Rouco and another for herself.

Arella Rouco took a sip and immediately spit it out as if she had eaten something dark, with a frown on her face.

“What kind of fish soup is this! It’s too salty! My father has high blood pressure and can’t eat something so salty!”

He then emptied the bowl in his hand into the wastebasket.

Estrella Berrocal frowned a little and said, “But I didn’t put salt on it, I tasted it and it tasted normal.”

Arella Rouco glared at her: “Who knows what she has in mind!

With that, to Fresco Rouco, he said: “Dad, don’t drink that! I’m going to bring you something else for breakfast”.

Fresco Rouco, however, raised his eyebrows and said, “Arella, don’t be so rude, I had the soup and it tasted good to me, are you having fun making things difficult for your sister-in-law on purpose?”

“Dad! Why are you speaking for her, I’m your daughter!”

Arella Rouco left the room with a firm step.

Shoshana Duque, also in a bad mood, said coldly, “I’ll go see Arella. ”

There were only three people left in the room.

Fresco Rouco smiled warmly at Estrella Berrocal and said, “Arella doesn’t know any better, don’t be so hard on her”.

“Uncle Segundo, I didn’t take it to heart. If you think this fish soup is good, drink more.”

Fresco Rouco’s smile intensified: “Good”.

…

On the other hand, Arella Rouco ran out of the hospital and was overtaken by Shoshana Duque.

Arella Rouco gritted her teeth and said, “Mom, why now daddy favors that Estrella Berrocal, it’s enough that the brother favors her, now daddy favors her too!”

Shoshana Duque pursed her lips and said calmly, “Arella, you are your father’s own daughter and you are always the one he loves the most, but you have to learn to be prudent and not always speak ill of Estrella Berrocal in front of your father. ”

“But I… I can’t help it! I can’t stand the way she’s trying to please daddy at all times! She’s not daddy’s daughter, so why does daddy believe it so much!”

Shoshana Duque’s eyes fluttered, “You can’t say that, after all she is your brother’s wife and it’s natural for her to want to be on good terms with your father, but in the future, don’t ever speak ill of her in front of your father like that again.”

“Hmph, I told you, what can my father do to me if I say so, Estrella Berrocal is not called Fu, do I have to give in to her?”.

“It’s true that his last name is not Fu, but you have to be careful how you speak and not make your father angry, okay?”

Arella Rouco bit her lip, let out her breath and stopped talking.
