Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Here, in the living room of the Calvo family, Dulcina’s father and mother kept staring at Esteban Zaragosa throughout dinner, the more they looked at their son-in-law, the better he looked, and the better he looked!

Even Dulcina Calvo, who has not been home for more than a month, was left out of the dinner, as Dulcina’s father and mother continued to serve Esteban Zaragosa’s meal.

Dulcina Calvo, his own daughter, was left out, inexplicably speechless.

Dulcina’s mother asked enthusiastically, “Lazaro, what do you think of your aunt’s food?”.

Esteban Zaragosa ate well, with elegance, and Dulcina’s father and mother looked the other way.

“The aunt is very good, I like her.”

Dulcina’s mother smiled at Esteban Zaragosa’s compliment: “Eat more if it’s good, don’t be shy, come on, eat more ribs, you young people have to eat more to work”.

“Thank you, Auntie.”

“We are all family, why thank you? Our Dulcina will count on you to take care of her in the future.”

Dulcina Calvo glared, “Mom, am I your own daughter? You’re selling me out before we’ve done anything.”

Dulcina’s mother laughed and glared at her: “What are you talking about, child?

During this, Dulcina’s father asked, “Lazarus, I’ve always heard Dulcina talk about you, but I don’t know what you do…”.

His Dulcina graduated from the Holy City Medical University, a prestigious university, and now she is a trainee doctor, and in the future she will be a regular worker at the hospital. Dulcina’s father is not looking for how much money the other party can earn, but at least to be decent and worthy of his Dulcina, so that they can have more things to talk about together.

Esteban Zaragosa, with a calm and serious face, put down the dishes, looked at Dulcina’s father and Dulcina’s mother and said: “Uncle, aunt, I am a doctor like Dulcina”.

Dulcina’s dad was a little glad to hear that, it was good to be both doctors.

“Are you in the same apartment as Dulcina?”

Esteban Zaragosa nodded.

Dulcina Calvo made a gesture with her small mouth, thinking – They are my bosses.

Dulcina’s father and mother had an inexplicable fondness for doctors, teachers, lawyers and programmers, perhaps because the townspeople were more conservative and less informed, and always thought they were good professions.

Although Dulcina Calvo herself thought that studying medicine was cooler because she could save lives and help the wounded, she didn’t realize how painful it was until she entered medical school, and that she had to dissect cadavers in the clinic, which was excruciating at first and she didn’t eat for days.

The other students went to play ball and party after class, while the medical students went to kill rats after class.

Studying medicine was really exhausting, getting up earlier than a chicken and sleeping later than a dog.

“Good, good, you’re both doctors, we’ll have two great doctors in our family, Dulcina’s dad, we won’t be afraid of getting sick anymore!”.

Dulcina’s father said, “What are you talking about? Don’t curse yourself.

Esteban Zaragosa found Dulcina’s father and Dulcina’s mother to be very funny.

He looked at the little girl sitting next to him talking, her little face pale and soft, her gaze warm and welcoming, like a little sun shining inside.

Perhaps only such a warm family could have raised such a positive Dulcina Calvo.

After dinner, Dulcina’s mother cut a plate of fruit and Dulcina Calvo took it to the bedroom.

Esteban Zaragosa sat in the swivel chair next to his computer desk and Dulcina Calvo handed him the fruit fork, “Take fruit.”

Esteban Zaragosa sat down and she leaned against the desk, he was tall and she was small, so even sitting Esteban Zaragosa didn’t have to crane his neck very far to look at her.

He looked at her, his thin lips curved and his large, thin hand took the fork of fruit she was offering him with her small hand.

Dulcina Calvo ate the fruit and said, “When are you leaving?”.

Esteban Zaragosa raised an eyebrow: “Do you want to throw me out before finishing the fruit?”.

Dulcina Calvo looked at the time, “It’s nine o’clock, after the fruit, you’d better go find a hotel, we’re not like in the city, there aren’t many hotels, not even five star ones.”

The smile in Esteban Zaragosa’s eyes deepened and he said, half jokingly, half seriously, “Maybe your parents will take me in for the night?”

The corner of Dulcina Calvo’s mouth twitched.

“There are only two rooms in our house, and you’re staying? Take you in, where are you going to stay? On the couch? Or on the wall?”

Esteban Zaragosa sat in the swivel chair, his long legs moved, the man and chair slid to the cot, the man’s large hand, caressed the warm cot, saying, “Sleep here.”

“…”

Dulcina Calvo did not see the playfulness and ambiguity in his eyes, but merely said with a thick nerve, “You think so! You sleep here and I sleep somewhere else! Don’t forget that I am the owner of this house, you are a guest! What kind of guest sleeps in the owner’s bed?”

“I meant … to sleep together.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“…”

Dulcina Calvo stood frozen in place, thinking to herself: you’re thinking big!

Out of sheer courage, Dulcina Calvo clenched her fist and punched Esteban Zaragosa in the nose.

Esteban Zaragosa never expected the girl to throw a punch.

He received a solid punch to the nose and frowned slightly in pain.

“Dulcina Calvo, what the hell!”

Dulcina Calvo looked at her fist as a witticism, and even wondered where she had gotten the courage to do that.

The opponent was the demon Stephen!

So Dulcina Calvo, after punching him, ran out, only for Esteban Zaragosa to pick her up like a chicken and throw her on the bed.

Dulcina Calvo: “Esteban Zaragosa!

Esteban Zaragosa tugged the tie around his neck with his long fingers, “When did I ever say I was a good man?”

Whoops … what a shame!

Esteban Zaragosa’s body draped downward, the weight of both of them pressed against the cot, the soft cot sagging slightly.

Dulcina Calvo’s two small, white hands rested on the man’s chest, her little face flushed, her two watery eyes looking defensively at him, innocent, harmless, inviting crime.

Damn it.

Esteban Zaragosa took her chin and lowered his head to kiss her slightly parted lips.

“Mmmm…”

Dulcina Calvo’s eyes widened in surprise, and the sudden enlargement of his handsome face in front of her made her clench her fist and want to punch him again, but Esteban Zaragosa’s dark eyes widened and he snapped her slender wrist faster, catching her above the head so Dulcina Calvo couldn’t move.

A click was heard, “Dulcina ah, Lazarus tonight…”

Dulcina’s mother stood in the bedroom doorway, stunned by the scene on the bed …..

Dulcina Calvo rushed to push the man on top of her and wiped her hot lips with the back of her hand, her little face red to dripping blood, “Mama, Mama…. Mama don’t misunderstand me!”

“You, you…”

Dulcina’s mom stood, a little frazzled, “That… I didn’t see anything!”

Dulcina’s mother swallowed hard and turned to close the door behind her.

Half a second later, Dulcina’s mom pushed the door again, looked straight at Dulcina Calvo and said, “You, get out of here!”.

Dulcina Calvo’s scalp tingled.

Her mother would kill her, wouldn’t she?

Esteban Zaragosa had really made it!
