Chapter 193: Not Wanting to Fall Behind Again
Reason was telling Estrella Berrocal to push the man in front of her away, but her sensuality was overflowing, the kiss was deep and commanding, the kiss made each of them gasp for breath, Estrella Berrocal’s eyes were moist and she couldn’t help but wrap her arms around Adán Rouco’s neck.
Just as Estrella Berrocal moved, the man kissing her suddenly stopped, his dark eyes staring at her coldly and without a trace of emotion, ending the kiss and removing his hands from her neck.
Estrella Berrocal’s eyes were still wet and blurry when she heard Adán Rouco speak coldly, “What do you think I am, Estrella Berrocal, when you have gone to such lengths to leave me and now you embrace me?”
“…”
The little woman’s eyes were red and she bit her lip, her watery eyes staring at him for a long moment. Seeing his impassive gaze, Estrella Berrocal opened the door and got out of the car with regret.
Adán Rouco looked up and glanced in the rearview mirror at the slender figure fading away, his dark eyes narrowed slightly.
Estrella Berrocal ran as fast as she could, but the more she ran, the thinner her breath became and, along with her stomach turning over, she collapsed on a flowerbed on the side of the road and bent over to vomit.
At the thought of all the meaty dishes on the table tonight, her stomach turned again and she threw up even more.
Just as she was about to vomit, lying on the flowerbed in a small, uncomfortable cry of helplessness, a low, low, unsalty male voice suddenly emerged above her head, “Is it hard?”
“…”
“I’ve been this uncomfortable every day for the last half month.”
“…”
Estrella Berrocal cried harder, not knowing if it was because of the unbearable pregnancy or because of Adán Rouco’s words.
Adán Rouco passed her a bottle of water, Estrella Berrocal rinsed her mouth and then sat down to rest by the flowerbed, Adán Rouco squatted half in front of her on one knee and wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, with the gentlest of gestures.
Something struck a chord, and Estrella Berrocal’s tears ran down her face, unable to be held back any longer.
“Why, why have you come to me?”.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Adam Rouco looked at her with burning eyes: “Are you going to spare me the rest of your life if I don’t come to you?”.
Estrella Berrocal leaned over and clung to his neck, her face pressed against his shoulder, her tears growing more and more profuse.
“I had no intention of hiding from you for very long, but I have been so unhappy with the time I have been away from you that I don’t think I can stand much more of it any time soon.”
“Why did you ask Analena Lozada to meet me at the Banyan Tree Hotel that night?”
Estrella Berrocal choked back a sob, “I did not know how to tell you that Analena Lozada was alive, I did not dare to see you reunited with Analena Lozada, I was afraid that you would not hesitate to leave me behind when you found out that Analena Lozada was alive …”
Adam Rouco pulled her away from his arms, his gaze riveted on her tear-stained little face, “So you didn’t hesitate to leave me before I left you?”
“I don’t want to be left again…”
There had been times when Ivan Martinez had left her, when her father had abandoned her, when she had spent many silent nights alone, and she had preferred to leave the other man rather than stay behind.
“Estrella Berrocal, you have no conscience.”
“But you came to me anyway…”
Adam Rouco growled coldly, “I have come to you, but only to take back what was mine.”
“Hmm? What is it?”
The man’s dark eyes looked deeply into her for a long moment before a single word escaped his thin lips, “You.”
Estrella Berrocal’s mind went blank for about four or five seconds, and the tears that had been held back collapsed in an instant.
Adán Rouco turned his back and tapped him on the shoulder, “Come up here.”
Estrella Berrocal dropped onto his back, wrapped her two small arms around his neck and asked unconsciously, “Where are you going?”
“Home.”
The two words were so light and ordinary, but they struck the tip of Estrella Berrocal’s heart and burst into fireworks.
She looked down and saw Adán Rouco in her blurred vision, his face a little somber, and Estrella Berrocal knew he was still angry with her.
He looked at Adán Rouco apologetically and whispered: “Adán, I feel like throwing up again”.
“Let’s go to the hospital first.”
“No, I’ll be fine, it’s useless to go to the hospital, the doctor said it’s a normal reaction of pregnancy.”
The man’s eyes deepened for a moment before he finally spoke in a clear voice, “You don’t feel bad anymore?”
“Yes.”
After a long moment, Estrella Berrocal asked again, “Isn’t Analena Lozada angry because you came to see me?”.
“Do I care that Analena Lozada is angry?”.
“But, but didn’t you two used to be lovers?”.
Adán Rouco wanted to open her head and see what was in it: “When did I ever say that Analena Lozada and I were lovers?
Estrella Berrocal, who felt it was a dream, too good to be true, reached out and pinched her hand and then Adam Rouco’s face.
Disgusted, the man warned him in a cold voice: “Estrella Berrocal”.
“Does it hurt?”
Adán Rouco did not answer and Estrella Berrocal approached, taking a look at his face, which was red from the pinch, and spoke, “It’s all red, it must hurt a little.”
After saying that, the little woman reached up and tenderly touched his face, “Is that better?”
“…”
