Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

The man’s explicit and ambiguous words made Estrella’s face blush -Adán, that night I was drunk, it was just an accident, I hope I can forget it!

Adam’s eyebrows rose slightly, the corners of his thin, sensual lips lifted slightly, “So that night you slept with me in vain?

Star was impressed, it was obvious she slept with him for nothing how come she appears to be the victim?

Adam who was usually such a decent person, I didn’t know he was so brazen!

He tried to look tough and said firmly, “Adam, what do you want? It’s impossible for me to marry you anyway!

-Are you so sure?

-I’m telling you, don’t try to threaten me with La Villa Berrocal again, we agreed before that we would only pretend to be a couple that would help you get rid of the pressure of your family to get married, but if you keep threatening me with La Villa Berrocal you will exceed my limits, I’d rather give up that villa!

Estrella said it in one breath, her heart was beating like a drum, her eyes staring dazedly at Adam, fearing that this man would actually break the contract, she was betting that Adam still had credibility, after all, he was extremely powerful in the business arena, he must still be trustworthy.

The man stared into her eyes, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Even La Villa Berrocal, which was what mattered most to him, was willing to abandon it?

Is it so much that you don’t want to marry him?

The interest that was added to her for a moment, suddenly disappeared, the man’s dark eyes looked at her with a slight coldness, he released her with a cold mood, -I am not so mean as to threaten a woman to marry me- -I am not so mean as to threaten a woman to marry me- -I am not so mean as to threaten a woman to marry me.

Star clutched her clothes to her chest, biting her lips, hearing him say that, her heart felt strange for no reason.

Did he really just want to find some random woman to marry him in order to irritate Olivia?

The man sat back in his chair and resumed his work, “If there is nothing else, you can leave now.

-That night, how did you know I was at the Pivo Czech Bar?

It was a question he had wanted to ask for a long time, but never had the opportunity.

The long fingers holding Adam’s pen paused for a moment, the tip of the pen on the paper shone a small cloud of black ink, the man’s voice was faint, he didn’t even raise his head -You called me several times begging me to save you, don’t you remember?

-…-

Estrella’s brow furrowed as she tried to recall the scenes of that night, unable to remember them.

Even if he asked for help, he could not have called this demon of Adam.

But what the man said immediately afterward shocked her.

-Not only that, when I arrived you were all sweet on me and begging me to make love,” he said.

-…-

What! Did he do that?!

-That, that was just because I was drunk and babbling, don’t take it to heart…!

-And you said you liked me, is that a babble or a drunken confession?

-…-

Why didn’t I have any recollection of that?!

His face flushed quickly and he hastened to change the subject, “I just came to warn you, I have to return to La Villa Berrocal later”.

Adam said nothing and remained silent.

She thought he was upset, Estrella hurried to speak again, “I’ll definitely be back before dinner, I just want to take my father’s ashes to the mansion so I can go home soon,” she said.

Adam’s dark eyes narrowed -The dead should be in the ground.

-I… I just want to have my father’s company.

Adam’s dark eyes shone and he said in a cold voice, “Get out, I have to work.

Estrella nodded and left the studio, her emotions somewhat depressed.

Three years had passed and his father had never been buried, Adam was right, the dead must be buried, even if it was hard for him to accept the fact that his father was gone, he had to bury him.

…

Inside the studio, Adam called Santino.

-Contact Nanshan Cemetery and reserve a good place.

Santino was astonished, -Chief, you are still young, it’s time to be optimistic and courageous, about the tomb, let’s…-.

The man’s face darkened, “When did I say it was to reserve a grave for me?

A cold sweat was breaking out on Santino’s forehead, he shivered and asked, “So… it’s for the old man?

-…-

The corners of Adam’s mouth twitched and he said in a cold, humorless voice, “My wife’s father has never been buried.

So it was for Estrella’s father….

-Oh oh oh, I’ll do it right away, I’ll make sure to choose a good place in the cemetery for the lady’s father.

Adam did not forget to give instructions -By the way, ask the people of Nanshan Cemetery directly to contact her, you don’t need to tell her that this matter was ordered by me-.

Santino nodded with understanding, only that…

-Chief, to make a girl fall in love, it is better to take care of her a little more evidently, so that the girl falls in love more easily….

The man’s face was cold as he gritted his teeth and asked, “When did I say I was going to make Estrella fall in love?

Santino silently pleaded to himself, afraid he would not be able to survive until tomorrow.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The big boss, hanging up the phone, even explained arrogantly, “I didn’t want to tell her because I was afraid she would be too moved to stick with me.

Santino hastened to answer -Yes, yes, yes, yes, after all, right now you and the lady are just pretending to be a couple, so, if you let her fall in love with you, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to get out of it later-.

Adam, somewhat furious, hung up the phone.

…

Outside the studio, Olivia standing in the doorway with a tray of fruit stopped her footsteps.

He wanted to take some fruit to Adam, but unexpectedly learned that Adam wanted to buy a grave for Estrella’s father.

He went downstairs and saw Estrella carrying her bag to leave and hurriedly called out to her -Estrella, wait-.

Sister-in-law, is something wrong?

-I just heard from Adam that your father’s ashes have not been buried yet, the person in charge of Nanshan Cemetery is a friend of mine, I will ask him to keep a good place for your father.

Estrella was stunned, she did not expect Olivia to help her and Nanshan Cemetery was the best cemetery in The Holy City, tombs are always hard to get -Sister-in-law, thank you, then I will bother you with this matter…. –

Olivia with a delicate smile -It’s okay, we are a family, then I will contact my friend later-.

After Estrella left, Olivia went back to her room and looked at the photo the private spy had sent her, showing Estrella and Ricardo intimately embracing at the Pivo Czech Bar that night.

This Estrella, how dare she flirt with Ricardo too!

She made a call -Aló, Sir, it’s Olivia. There is something I want to ask you as a favor, is that so, you know about my nephew Ricardo, right?

-Of course I know, the Ricardo of the Prats family!

-Ricardo’s girlfriend’s father has passed away and he couldn’t find a good cemetery for his burial, can you help me to find a good cemetery for his father?

-Of course, since Mistress Olivia ordered it, this is the least of it!

Olivia lifted the corner of her red lips, “Then I’ll send you his contact information and credit your account with the money from the cemetery. By the way, Sir, please don’t tell them that I did this, just say that Ricardo bought it, you know that to make a girl fall in love you always need some sincerity-“.

-Okay, I didn’t know Mrs. Olivia was so good with family matters, I’m sure I’ll take care of this matter properly.

Olivia hung up the phone and scoffed, Ha! since Estrella was entangled with Ricardo, then she’ll get them together!
