Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Adam Rouco looked at her with small, expectant eyes, his dark eyes narrowed, he couldn’t see any emotion, he just said lightly, “No”.

But Estrella Berrocal was not convinced by this “no” and grabbed his hand: “You don’t like me now, but someday you will like me”.

“Are you so sure now?”

Adam Rouco’s fingertips gently brushing the corner of her lips, Estrella Berrocal grabbed his hand and pressed it to her cheek. “You just said that you are mine and that no one can take you away, and since you are mine, well, of course I trust that you will like me, but it’s a matter of time.”

And, in only two days, he had already “seriously” perceived his affection for her …

He was really starting to like it, wasn’t he?

Otherwise, why would he have come all the way to S to find her?

Adán Rouco grunted slightly, withdrew his big hand, curled his long fingers and gave her a smack on the forehead, not too hard but not too light either, it hurt a little, Estrella Berrocal covered her forehead and frowned, “Why are you smacking me on the forehead all of a sudden?”

“Don’t point that out again, Analena Lozada has nothing to do with me.”

When she said that, Estrella Berrocal’s eyes lit up, “You and Annalena Lozada have never been in love?”.

Adán Rouco looked at her coldly: “Did I say that Analena Lozada was my girlfriend?”.

She thought Analena Lozada had been his girlfriend …

Estrella Berrocal gave a little gasp, “So you’re saying you and Analena Lozada are just good friends? You just feel guilty about her?”.

“I’ve never felt like Analena Lozada as anything more than a friend, satisfied?”.

Estrella Berrocal was so happy to hear his cool, clear voice that she hugged him and said, “Yes, satisfied, very satisfied.”

Estrella Berrocal decided to ask the question to the end: “What about Julieta Sarinana, did you ever go out with Julieta Sarinana?

“No.”

“But Juliet Sarinana said she lived and ate with you for a whole year when you were depressed.”

Was there really nothing going on when a man and a woman lived together for a whole year?ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Does eating and living together have to mean sleeping in the same bed?”

“…”

It is true.

Come to think of it, Juliet Sarinana said that on purpose to make her automatically rehearse for misunderstanding something, I guess.

“But I’m still envious, envious that they met you so early and that they are all important friends in your mind.”

Estrella Berrocal envied them even more, having witnessed the times and twists and turns of Adán Rouco in his younger days.

The Adán Rouco of ten years ago must not have been as mature and profound as he is now.

“Star, you sure are a bucket of vinegar.”

Adam Rouco’s dark eyes bore into her, and he was very firm in his conclusions.

Estrella Berrocal’s face burned red and her watery eyes lowered as she bit her lip and whispered, “I didn’t mean to do it …. I was so afraid that after I came back to La Ciudad Santa with you, another woman would show up and tell me that you had an unusual relationship with her …”

For no reason, Adán Rouco felt some pain, pulled her into his arms, pressed his thin lips against her forehead and whispered, “When we return to La Ciudad Santa, we will get a license to get married”.

Estrella Berrocal’s heart shuddered as she remembered what had happened the day of the last license, and she couldn’t help but explain to Adán Rouco: “Adán, I didn’t ask anyone to do anything for your accident that night.”

“I know.”

She couldn’t let go.

“But wouldn’t it be too soon to register it when we return to The Holy City?”.

They had been through a lot, but Estrella Berrocal had always felt it was too soon to register their marriage.

Adán Rouco looked at her stomach: “Do you want to have a second child before marrying me?”.

Estrella Berrocal’s face blushed up to her neck.

It was obvious that she was not married to him, but she already had two children …

That’s a much faster pace than normal couples!

Estrella Berrocal bit her lips, “Are you rushing to get your license with me because I’m pregnant?”.

She did not want to be one of those women who forced Adán Rouco to “marry her son,” but now that she was pregnant, and now that Adán Rouco was going to marry her, she had the illusion of being the mother of a child.

The man raised his finger and touched her forehead again, “Pregnancy syndrome?”.

“…”

The corner of Estrella Berrocal’s mouth twitched, not feeling like she was imagining things.

Adán Rouco let out a deep sigh.

After all, Estrella Berrocal was only a girl of twenty-four, and although she had already given birth to her son, she was still very young, and all the patience that Adán Rouco had left was spent on her.

“But the old man doesn’t like me, I’m sure he doesn’t want me to marry you.”

Roberto Rouco had disliked her from the beginning, his first impression of her had been bad because of her surrogacy at the time, and Estrella Berrocal was understandable, after all, who would go to a surrogate motherhood for a strange man being a good-natured girl?

The way she had met Adán Rouco was so unusual that it was normal for Roberto Rouco to have a bad impression of her.

“You’re already carrying his grandchild in your belly, and even if he doesn’t like you, he’s not going to stop us from getting married.”

Roberto Rouco was a very traditional man, and if he had known that Adán Rouco had gotten her pregnant, he would not have let him escape.

It is he who should be worried, not Estrella Berrocal.

Estrella Berrocal asks curiously, “Adán, do you like boys very much?”.

Otherwise, why would he always say “my son” and now he said he was carrying Roberto Rouco’s grandson?

She was a little worried that he would be disappointed if she didn’t bring a child.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, but Paulita wants a sibling.”

Estrella Berrocal put her foot on the gas: “But I also hope it will be a boy, the old man would prefer a grandson”.

Granted, the old man preferred Paulita to Dante, but Estrella Berrocal thought that if it was a boy in her belly, Adán Rouco would have a son and a daughter.

Estrella Berrocal’s stomach growled, she rubbed her belly with an embarrassed smile and said to Adán Rouco, “I’m hungry…”

Adán Rouco took her jacket that was hanging on the standing coat rack and helped her put it on. “Come on, let’s go to dinner.”

Adán Rouco did not know the city of S, let alone what there was to eat around here.

Estrella Berrocal had been living here for more than half a month and knew all about the good restaurants in the surrounding area.

Estrella Berrocal took Adán Rouco directly to a restaurant.

The restaurant was a bit crowded at lunchtime, but luckily there was room.

The owner asked, “How many?”

Estrella Berrocal made a gesture: “Two”.

“Sit inside and order your food, it will be served to you later.”

Estrella Berrocal drags Adán Rouco and sits at an empty table with ease.

Adán Rouco is a little uncomfortable and Estrella Berrocal asks him with the letter: “Adán, what do you want to eat? I want to eat Cocido madrileo”.

It was not a question he was asked, Adán Rouco made no comment: “You ask for it”.

Estrella Berrocal curved her teary eyes at him and made no apologies, ordering a pot of Cocido madrileo followed by Tortilla de patatas or Espaola, Gazpacho.

Seeing Adán Rouco inspecting the small restaurant and wiping the greasy table with a tissue with some disgust, Estrella Berrocal smiled and said, “Don’t look down on him, but his food, which is better than the average five-star restaurant, is really hidden in these unpretentious restaurants. ”

Adán Rouco listened to her and did not deny it.

While waiting for the meal, two young girls stared at Adán Rouco.

Estrella Berrocal, naturally, saw them and was a bit annoyed that they did not see that such a handsome man had an owner.

Estrella Berrocal made several gestures to show the diamond ring she wore on her ring finger, but the two girls obviously ignored it.

The two girls whispered and argued.

“Look, look, he’s very handsome!”

“Ask him for his cell phone number if you can!”

“Chit! Don’t provoke me, do you really think I wouldn’t dare?”

With that, the girl approached Adán Rouco.

“Hi handsome, can I have your cell phone number?”.

Adán Rouco sat down, looked at the girl and politely said yes, with a slight “hmm”.

Estrella Berrocal was furious, Adán Rouco did not take her into account, she was sitting in front of him!

The girl’s eyes bubbled pink in front of Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal wanted to hide Adán Rouco from all women but her!

This man, why is he so attractive!

The girl timidly handed her cell phone to Adán Rouco, who expertly entered a series of numbers.

The two girls then ate and happily left the restaurant.

Estrella Berrocal had been in a good mood, but now, seeing the appetizing Cocido madrileo on the table, she lost her appetite.

“How can you do this?”

Why is he giving cell phone numbers to other girls when he promised to marry her in The Holy City?

“What’s wrong with me?” asked Adán Rouco with a puzzled look on his face.

“… How can you give your cell phone number to a girl you don’t know”.

No, not even if you know her, not even if you give it to other girls who have ulterior motives with him!

Adam Rouco ate his meal without skipping a beat and put a forkful of sauerkraut in his bowl. “Do you like tortilla de patatas or Spanish omelet lately? Have some more.”

“…”

How could this man deliberately change the subject in this way!

Estrella Berrocal blows her beard and stares.

…

Not long after the two girls left the restaurant, they searched the string of cell phone numbers given to them by Adán Rouco on WhatsApp, and when they found her, her profile picture was a puppy emoji.

The two girls looked at each other.

“Looking at such a mature and serious man, why is the profile picture so childish?”

“Is the data still a woman? Could it be a pervert?”

“No, maybe it’s because he’s too handsome, and I’m afraid too many girls will add him, so I deliberately set up a female blocker?”

…

Just as Estrella Berrocal was angrily biting into the tortilla de patatas that Adán Rouco had brought her, the phone on the table rang, a WhatsApp alert.

Estrella Berrocal didn’t mind, Adán Rouco looked at the screen of his phone with black eyes, “The phone is ringing, why don’t you take a look at it?”.

Estrella Berrocal put down the dishes and went to look at her phone. In the WhatsApp interface, a red “1” suddenly appeared in the address book. A new friend had added her. She clicked and saw that the new friend’s avatar was exactly One. of the two girls took a selfie a moment ago….

Estrella Berrocal froze for a second and then realized that it was her cell phone number that Adán Rouco had just entered so calmly….
