Chapter 45: Let’s do what didn’t end up at the hotel that night
After Estrella finished the job, she called Adán, but Paulita answered.
The little girl asked over the phone, “Star, why don’t you come and pick me up with daddy?
-Because I worked overtime today. I’ll pick you up the other day, okay?”
Since Paulita answered the call. So, they should be home by now.
Really, Adam wouldn’t expect it.
-Star, can you come home soon? I think about you a lot.
In the black Maybach, Paulita sat quietly on the car seat. She held a black cell phone that was much larger than her hand and another tender hand played to her foot, which looked extremely cute.
Estrella heard this, her heart softened and she only responded, “It’s okay.
Elsewhere, after Paulita hung up the phone, he frowned and asked Adam, who was sitting next to him, “Dad, it’s obvious you want Estrella to come home quickly. Why do you let Paulita say she wants Estrella to come home?
Adam raised his hand and touched his daughter’s head, “Because Estrella likes Paulita better, so Paulita’s words are more effective than daddy’s.
-Really?” Paulita narrowed her eyes happily.
-Dad, my birthday is three days later. Can you and Estrella spend time with me?
The little girl stretched out her three little fingers and looked at Adam with big eyes. Adam was surprised, he almost forgot that three days later, it would be Paulita’s third birthday. If Estrella had a good memory, she should know that Paulita’s birthday was the same as that of the child born from her surrogacy.
It was time to let her know the real relationship between her and Paulita.
-Of course, what kind of birthday present do you want?
-Dad, I don’t want a birthday present. Can you not be mad at Estrella?
Adam was surprised and looked at the little girl with amusement, “Why am I angry with her?
-Estrella accidentally burned her brother’s hand this morning. Estrella didn’t do it intentionally. Can you not blame Estrella, Dad? Paulita doesn’t want you to fight with Estrella.
Paulita was very smart. Although she was still a child, she had a smart brain. This was definitely an inheritance from him. After all, Estrella’s EQ and IQ seemed to be not quite normal.
Adam lowered his head and kissed his daughter’s forehead. Without answering the little girl’s question, he spoke softly, “Don’t you always want a doll? Would you like me to give you a doll?
The little girl clapped her hands happily, “Yes, I want to braid and dress the doll.
…
As Ricardo’s car was about to enter the Rouco family’s house, Estrella immediately stopped him, “You don’t need to get in, I’ll get out here.
Ricardo’s face came closer to her. After knowing Estrella’s thought, he asked with a smile, “Are you afraid that my brother-in-law will see you?
Estrella’s face lit up and she said, “I’m afraid of being seen by other members of the Rouco family. Because your brother-in-law and I are married couples. If someone sees you take me home, I don’t know how to talk about me behind my back.
-Star, is it true that you are in love with my uncle?
As soon as Estrella turned her head, Ricardo’s handsome face suddenly came close to her face. She was surprised, frowned and said, “How, how is it possible, I’m only acting with him!
-So… you definitely won’t fall in love with my brother-in-law?
-Of course, of course! How could I fall in love with your uncle!
Estrella muttered. Although that man was handsome and rich, his mood was so bad that he showed a cold face at any time. It was as if she owed him tens of millions, she would never fall in love with him, absolutely impossible!
Ricardo sat up straight, smiled, “Then I can relax.
After all, an excellent man like her brother-in-law, the young women of La Ciudad Santa were eager to climb into his bed. But Estrella was different from ordinary girls. Therefore, her concern was unnecessary.
During the three years he and Estrella spent at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, although they had no formal relationship, compared to the cold agreements between Estrella and her uncle. His chances of winning were significantly greater.
…
After getting out of the Porsche 918 Estrella, she entered the Rouco family, looking around, for fear of being seen by others, which Ricardo sent her back. Although she had a normal relationship with Ricardo, if she was really seen by others, she could not explain it even if she had ten mouths.
But she did not notice him, her discreet movements as a thief was seen by the man was standing in front of the French windows on the second floor.
The man put a hand in his pocket, he was in front of the window. His dark eyes coldly watched all the movement in the courtyard. As for outside the courtyard, the Porsche that had just left further obscured the man’s face and his eyes were angry.
He had reminded her of her current identity, what he said did she not take seriously?
In the office, she not only flirted with Ricardo, she even let Ricardo take her to the Rouco family in person, did she really consider him as dead?
…
As soon as Estrella entered, she saw Olivia feeding fruit to Dante in the living room. She greeted her casually. As she was about to go to the second floor to find Paulita, the door to the study room opened. Adam stepped out with a cold face, walking straight past her as if she were an invisible person.
Estrella was stunned, when did she offend him?
She turned and looked at his back, she couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t you tell me we’ll pick up Paulita after we leave work? Why didn’t you wait for me?
Unexpectedly, the man just ridiculed, -I think you were very happy to stay in the office after leaving work. I should have forgotten about this a long time ago.
-I didn’t. I stayed in the office because I need to work overtime…- I did not.
As soon as she finished her explanation, Olivia looked at her jokingly, “Star, how can you get me wrong like that? Today is the first day you’re going to work and there’s no important work. Why am I asking you to stay and work overtime?
Estrella furrowed her eyebrows and said angrily, -Olivia, it’s you …-.
But before she finished her words, Adam looked back and coldly interrupted her-Stop it, Star, you should have a limit when you lie.
She clenched her fist and felt very aggrieved.
No matter who was right between her and Olivia, Adam would definitely side with Olivia. To him, he didn’t care about the truth and wouldn’t put emphasis on what happened. She bit her lip. After looking at him for three seconds with tear-filled eyes, biting her lips, she then turned and ran back into the room.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
As soon as Estrella entered the room, she started packing things. It was okay for Olivia to mistreat her, Adam did the same thing too!
When Adam approached, seeing her hurrying to pack her bags, he asked sternly, “What are you doing?
She was furious, Estrella mocked him, -I will return to the villa of the Berrocal family to spend a few days. Otherwise, if I am here, am I not an excused person who is in your way? Anyway, the relationship between me and Mr. Adam is fictitious. We are just pretending. It shouldn’t matter if we don’t perform these days. Besides, your dad is not at home now, we don’t have to pretend for each other… –
She said all the angry words in her mind, but in the next second, the luggage next to her feet was kicked by the man, “You dare to leave the Rouco family!
Estrella became even angrier, her breathing became more and more intense, “Me, why don’t I dare! Adam, who do you think you are, why do you restrict my movement?
The man with a cold face approached her, drew her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her lips hard, “Star, if I don’t finish things at the hotel that night, you’ll never know who you belong to now!
