Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Paulita took Estrella’s hand, reached over and grabbed Adam’s big hand. Acting like an adult, she joined their hands, narrowed her eyes and said happily, -The three of us will be together forever!

Estrella’s ears turned red and hot. She didn’t dare look at Adam, until Paulita looked curiously at the row of bite marks on Adam’s hand, frowned and asked very worriedly, -Daddy, what happened to your hand? Did the wildcat bite you again?

Estrella lowered her head. It was she who bit the man’s hand.

Adam looked at Estrella, but said to Paulita, -This wildcat is fierce. I just touched her. She got angry and bit me.

Estrella smiled. It was not true.

It was because he had had “bad intentions” of her!

Paulita blinked and touched her little chin, -Last time the feral kitten had bitten daddy’s neck, and this time she bit daddy’s hand. Daddy, I don’t want to have a kitten anymore, can I have a puppy?

Adam squatted down, reached up to touch Paulita’s head and said with a double meaning, -It’s good to have a dog. Because dogs are very faithful to their owner. The cat has no conscience. No matter how well you treat her, she always wants to run away from the house and sometimes she bites you.

Hearing those words, Estrella felt something strange. By the time she understood the meaning, the man had already taken Paulita downstairs to eat. Estrella followed them and approached Adam, replied in a voice so low that only they could hear, “I am not like cats and dogs. I will treat well the one who treats me well.

For example, Paulita. She could feel that Paulita really liked her and really cared about her. Sometimes, she thought that if one day she and Adán stopped pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, she might not want to say goodbye to Paulita.

…

After dinner, Grandpa took Paulita and Dante out to play. Adán had some work to do. Aside from the maids, only Estrella and Olivia were in the living room.

Olivia was sitting on the couch, while drinking rose tea, flipping through the photos that had been relieved today.

Estrella didn’t want to be in front of her and was about to go upstairs. Olivia stopped her with a soft smile.

-Star, today Adam accompanied me to attend Dante’s activity and we took a lot of pictures. Do you want to come and take a look?

Estrella’s eyes trembled, -There’s no need. Olivia, you watch yourself. I don’t live looking at him in the pictures.

The smile on Olivia’s face suddenly stopped, “What do you mean, you think you’re sure now that Adam will always be with you?

She turned away with a faint smile, “I can’t be sure. But whatever happens, he and I are husband and wife now.

-Don’t think I don’t know that you and Adam are pretending to be husband and wife! Dad will find out sooner or later that you don’t have a marriage certificate! And you will surely be expelled from the Rouco family!

Just as Estrella wanted to contradict him, her cell phone rang in her pocket.

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was Irene.

She frowned, held up the cell phone and turned toward the balcony to answer the call.

-What are you calling me for?

-Hey, sis, why are you so angry? I’m calling to invite you to attend my wedding with Ivan tomorrow. You’re going, right?

Estrella didn’t want to go, but she wanted very much to ruin Ivan and Irene’s wedding to take severe revenge on them.

-Okay. Tomorrow I will attend your wedding on time.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Irene smiled triumphantly, “Then I’ll wait for you.

Surely Doria would also attend the wedding the next day. Since Doria and Irene liked to show off the image and luxury, they would surely invite many guests and relatives, and she would go to ruin the wedding to destroy their image!

…

After returning to the second floor room, Olivia called a private detective.

-Investigate Estrella’s stepmother’s daughter, Irene.

Olivia’s investigation into the Berrocal family’s problems became clear when Estrella first entered the Rouco family.

“As the saying goes: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Estrella and Irene did not get along. If she could use Irene to destroy Estrella, she wouldn’t have to do it on her own and could destroy Estrella. It wouldn’t be hard to give Adam an explanation either.

…

Estrella walked to Adam’s study door hesitantly, knocked on the door and entered.

Seeing that he was concentrating on work, she approached with her hands behind her back, and when she hesitated about how to tell him, with her head lowered, the man suddenly asked,

-What’s the matter?

-Well, I have something to do tomorrow night, can I come home later?

Taking a pen in his hand, after a pause, he continued without raising his head or speaking.

She bit her lips and continued, “Irene is getting married tomorrow. Although we are not biological sisters, I am her nominal sister, I have to attend…-….

-Do you want to go to the wedding or do you want to take away her boyfriend?

The man’s question made her pause for a while, -Don’t worry. I’m surely not going to take away her boyfriend.

Ivan, that bastard, even if someone gave it to her, wouldn’t want it either!

Adam did not answer. Estrella thought he did not agree, and unconsciously reached out to pull at his sleeves, -I’m just going to attend, I’ll probably be back before eight o’clock tonight!

Generally, wedding dinners started at 6:18. She would make a fuss and could get away with at least seven o’clock. She should be able to return to the Rouco family by eight.

The man lowered his gaze, looking at his small white hand holding his sleeve, his eyes shrunk slightly, and he was silent for a few seconds, he said quietly, -Come back early. Tomorrow night is Paulita’s birthday.

-Paulita’s birthday?

The man heard her surprised tone and looked at her, “Is there a problem?

Did she discover that Paulita’s birthday was the same day she had given birth as a surrogate mother three years ago?

Estrella smiled and shook her head, -No, I just don’t think this coincidence suits me. But tomorrow night, I’ll be back early, so I can celebrate Paulita’s birthday.

Adam furrowed his eyebrows slightly. She really didn’t care about the child she had given birth to as a surrogate mother three years ago, and she didn’t even remember that day of such importance.

-Then you work first. I’m going out.

As soon as she turned around, Adam stood up and called out to her, -Star.-.

She was surprised, “Yes?

She felt really uncomfortable when he suddenly called her name so solemnly.

The man looked at her with a very deep look, “Tomorrow night, I will have something to tell you.

-Now… Can’t you tell me?

She didn’t understand. “Is there anything you can’t tell me now, you can only tell me until tomorrow night?”

– Paulita and I will wait for you to return tomorrow night.

The man’s tone was too serious. But these words were a bit touching, Estrella’s face couldn’t help but get hot, and she smiled towards him and said, -Okay.
