Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal tried to remember if she had done something stupid in front of Adán Rouco the night before, but after half a day of thinking, her mind was so broken that she raised her hand and punched herself hard in the head.

But how was it possible that Adán Rouco could have been at the Pivo Czech Bar last night?

Had she gotten drunk and called him herself?

While she was thinking that, her cell phone suddenly rang, startling Estrella Berrocal.

It was Perla Prats, who had also had a lot to drink last night and whose voice was now muffled, reminding him: “Estrella, you asked me to sign you up for the excursion, the flight is at eleven, don’t be late”.

Estrella Berrocal looked at the time, it was already half past eight, “I’m not talking to you anymore, I have to wash and leave”.

Good thing I had packed for the trip a few days ago, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to catch the flight today.

She had been such a mess that she had asked Perla Prats to get her friend at the travel agency to sign up for an in-house rate tour, as the tour price included airfare and lodging and was much cheaper and more economical than what Estrella Berrocal had booked on her own, and when she got there, she had no intention of traveling with a group, but just wanted to get some air and walk around for a change.

…

Rouco Group building, conference room.

It was half past eleven when Adán Rouco lifted his wrist to check the time on his watch after a high-level meeting.

By this time, the woman should be sober from her hangover.

He picked up his cell phone and called Estrella Berrocal, but her phone was turned off.

Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed, had he had too much to drink to wake up yet?

Santino Yepes pushed open the conference room door in a hurry: “Boss, it’s no good, Miss Estrella is leaving Ciudad del Norte today on the eleven o’clock flight!”.

“What do you mean?”

Adán Rouco’s eyes sank.

What the hell was that woman doing, saying she liked me last night and waking up today and forgetting what she had said last night with all her heart and soul?

Adán Rouco pursed his thin, cold lips and asked, “Where did he go?”

“Miss Star has left for S. Boss, shall I book you a flight to S yet?”.

He sulked and said nothing, and after a long moment, he calmly opened his mouth, “What’s the point of going to her?”

I couldn’t believe I wasn’t going back to the North City to see Paulita.

Santino Yepes was perplexed, was the boss still angry with Miss Estrella?

But as the day progressed, Santino Yepes found that Adán Rouco had finished three or four days of work in one afternoon ahead of schedule.

When the end of the day came and he didn’t want to leave, Santino Yepes prepared a cup of freshly brewed coffee and brought it to him, “Boss, you’ve been working long hours, take a break”.

Adán Rouco took a sip of his coffee and had no intention of stopping, continuing to watch the stock market movements on his laptop.

Santino Yepes dared to ask: “Boss, are you planning to go to S to see Miss Estrella as soon as you finish your work today?”.

Adán Rouco looked at him coldly and said: “Since when did you become such a smartass?

Santino Yepes rubbed his nose and asked, “What time is the flight booked?”.

“Tomorrow at ten o’clock in the morning.”

…

When Adán Rouco returned to the Rouco family late at night after working late, Olivia Montes was also at home.

“Adam, why did you take so long to come back, I have not been able to reach your cell phone and I have been worried about you for a long time.”

I had heard Felipa say that Estrella Berrocal had left the Rouco family some time ago, and Adán Rouco did not seem to be looking for Estrella Berrocal, so had Estrella Berrocal really left the Rouco family?

Adán Rouco pursed his lips and said indifferently, “I was working late at the office and my phone ran out of battery, how is Dante?”

“The doctor says Dante is recovering well, nothing serious, I am very grateful for the blood transfusion.”

Adán Rouco calmly replied, “You should.”

Olivia Montes bit her red lip and said, “I came back to get a change of clothes for Dante and me. I’ve been waiting for you at home for a long time and Dante told me he misses you, could you come to the hospital tomorrow after work to see Dante?”

Adam Rouco’s eyes paled slightly, “Not tomorrow, I’ll see Dante when he comes back”.

“You… where are you going, on a business trip?”

“No, for personal matters.”

Adán Rouco was brief and concise, with no intention of telling her where he was going, and Olivia Montes was unable to ask any more questions, so she could only say quietly, “Okay then, I’ll wait with Dante until you get back.”

The man turned around to go up the stairs and then stopped short, his eyes slightly averted and his voice clear and cold: “Sister-in-law, I hope that when Estrella Berrocal returns this time, you can live in peace.”

The words were soft, but the tone was unmistakable, defending Estrella Berrocal and standing up for her.

Olivia Montes clenched her fist, fought the pain in her heart and smiled kindly, “Adam, what are you talking about? Of course I’m going to make peace with Estrella.”

Was he going to get Estrella Berrocal back?

What was so good about Estrella Berrocal that she was gone and he was going to chase her back?

…

Adán Rouco went upstairs and first went to the children’s room to check on Paulita.

Paulita was lying in bed with her tablet, still watching cartoons, wide-eyed and foggy, still refusing to sleep.

Adán Rouco reached over and snatched the tablet from the little girl’s hand, turned it off and tossed it aside. “No one cares about you when I’m not at home, do they?”.

Since Estrella Berrocal had left, Paulita had given Adán Rouco a scolding, and the little girl shot a couple of glances at Adán Rouco, curving her mouth. “Hmph.”

Adán Rouco could not bear to hit Paulita, but he was very annoyed by the way she treated him.

Estrella Berrocal had made him angry, but now his daughters were fighting with him, one after the other, and he couldn’t be bothered!

“It’s late, let’s go to bed.”

Adán Rouco was a man of the world, a man of the world, and when he got angry with Paulita, he could not let it go, so he ordered in a cold voice.

The little girl blinked a couple of times and said, “You don’t love me anymore, Daddy.”

The man wrinkled his eyebrows, “What are you talking about?”.

“If daddy loved me, he would go and get Estrella back, because I love Estrella!”.

Adán Rouco stared at Paulita’s defeated little girlish face and softened his voice a little. “Tomorrow I will find your Estrella and bring her back to you, at the latest in three days, so you can sleep peacefully.”

Paulita was so excited that she pulled back the blanket and stood up, her hair disheveled, but her big black eyes shining, “Daddy did you really go looking for Estrella? You’re not lying to me, are you?”.

Adán Rouco approached the door and turned off the light, “No, put on the blanket and go to sleep.”

Paulita blew him a series of kisses, “Good night, daddy, I love you!”.

Adán Rouco returned to his bedroom, charged his phone and tried to check Estrella Berrocal’s WeChat friends, but on the screen it showed

a gray horizontal bar.

The man frowned…. had that woman fainted him?

The anger that had been repressed was rising again!

Did she really intend to get away from him by leaving North City and passing him out?

This knowledge made the evil fire in Adán Rouco’s heart burn even hotter.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
