Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Santino was called by Adam as he headed for the door.

He was stunned and thought that the Chief had changed his mind and was going back to the company to sign the contract.

Who expected it, Adam spoke seriously -Go and investigate Estrella’s life in these three years, including her love affairs-.

-… yes -…

What Adam really meant was “Go investigate the Star’s personal sentimental life over the past three years”?

Santino left the room with this “mission”.

…

Half an hour later, Santino called and Adam left the room before answering the phone.

Chief, three years ago, after Mrs. Estrella broke up with her ex-boyfriend Ivan, she hasn’t officially dated another man. Oh, of course, besides being intimate with you.

Santino thought silently, agreeing that the boss is possessive, he fears that he cannot allow Mrs. Estrella to have slept with another man, even if the boss doesn’t like Mrs. Estrella very much now, but Mrs. Estrella is Paulita’s mother, besides he slept with her, maybe the boss had already considered Mrs. Estrella as his wife…

-What is your relationship with Ricardo?

-After Mrs. Estrella went to Paris, she met Mr. Ricardo, both were students at the School of Fine Arts in Paris, in those three years, Mr. Ricardo has taken great care of Mrs. Estrella, the two of them have a very close relationship… but it must be a relationship of good friends. –

Santino stopped immediately and hastened to add the last sentence.

Adam hung up the phone directly, his dark eyes reflecting total coldness.

Between a man and a woman, is there such a thing as pure friendship?

He had an inexplicable feeling.

…

When Estrella woke up, two pairs of eyes were watching her.

One pair were the man’s deep dark eyes and the other pair were the Paulita’s large, innocent eyes.

As soon as she saw that Estrella woke up, Paulita jumped up in her hospital gown and clapped her little hands happily, “Estrella, you’re finally awake!

The little girl hugged Estrella’s neck, the latter lost her bewilderment for a moment and raised her hand to embrace the soft little body in her arms.

La Paulita… always unconsciously reminded her of the baby she had given birth to three years before.

Sometimes he even wondered how good it would be if the Paulita was really his daughter.

Obedient, intelligent, understanding, pretty and endearing.

But obviously, she did not have that fortune, she was not Paulita’s real mother, she could only be considered Paulita’s “stepmother”.

Star rubbed her head and thanked the man who was sitting to the side with his long legs elegantly crossed -Thank you for taking care of me-.

The man closed the folder in his hand, his dark eyes lifted slightly, watching her face, “Are you thanking me for taking care of you last night or for taking care of you when you fainted a little while ago?

Estrella’s ears reddened and she bit her lip -… last night, what happened last night, no, don’t take it to heart, we are both adults, I will, I will be responsible for my own actions…-.

Adam’s eyes deepened a little and he asked back, “Don’t I have to take it to heart?

The masculine, gravelly, pleasant voice was slightly accented as he said this.

-I meant, I meant that I am not going to force you to be responsible for me….

How was she going to be his “fake wife”, meanwhile having an affair and flirting with his nephew?

-You have to take responsibility for me, don’t you?

-Ah?

Estrella opened her lips, looking at him with a blank stare.

This kind of thing, women are always at a disadvantage, he is already at an advantage and yet he wants to get even more benefit and play the victim?

Besides, he had slept with so many women, it was already very good that she didn’t cry or claim to be responsible like other women, and he still demands more?

She squeezed her little hand and asked, “How, how do you want me to be responsible?

Make up for it with money? With a lot of money?

This was the only thought that crossed Estrella’s mind, a cold-blooded businessman like Adam who ate people without spitting out the bones, capable of ripping off every layer of their skin and drinking even their blood.

He looked at the man with a worried look….

Adam’s face was as cold as usual, his dark eyes stared at her, his voice was calm as he opened his mouth, “Marry me,” he said.

Estrella’s heart shuddered and her eyes looked at him in amazement….

What, marry him?

Just as the man’s words ended, the door to the room opened.

Olivia came in carrying a basket of fruit, her face showed dissimulation, smiling softly, “Adam? I just went to Paulita’s room and didn’t find any of you, I looked in several rooms and the nurse told me you were here. I didn’t disturb you, did I?

Olivia looked again at Estrella, who was lying in the hospital bed.

Estrella swallowed and looked at Adam before replying, “Yes, I have a fever.

-I’ve brought fruit, I’m going to wash it for you to eat.

However, Adam suddenly stood up, picked up Paulita and said in an indifferent voice, “It is not necessary. First I will take Paulita to put on the serum.

Estrella called out to him hesitantly, “But, Adam…”.

The man looked back at her and said in a deep voice, “Whatever I just said, think about it.

Olivia’s hand, which lifted the apple, clenched her knuckles.

Just now Adam said he wanted Estrella to marry him, what did he mean?

Now Estrella and he hadn’t gotten the marriage certificate yet?!

La Paulita leaned on Adam’s shoulder and waved her hand at Estrella, “Estrella, I’ll come back for you after I get the serum!

When Adán and Paulita left the room, Olivia picked up an apple and peeled it carelessly with a fruit knife. -Estrella, even though you’ve just joined the Rouco family, I think there are some things I need to tell you the truth,” she said.

Estrella furrowed her eyebrows, “Sister-in-law, what?

Olivia looked at her, smiling with her red lips slightly, “Although, now you and Adam are nominally married, but I know that you and Adam are really just acting, right?

Sister-in-law, why do you say that?

It’s true that she and Adam were being a fake couple, but for some reason, hearing Olivia say that made her feel annoyed.

-Star, do you know Oscar, that is, Adam’s older brother, passed away five years ago, do you know how Oscar passed away?

Adam had not told him about his older brother, Oscar, as he shook his head.

Olivia continued, “Oscar died in a car accident and he had the accident because I told him I couldn’t marry him.

-Why?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

-Because, at that time, she was already pregnant with Adam’s child.

Estrella’s eyes were trembling -Sister-in-law, what… what do you mean?

For no reason, Estrella began to panic, just watching Olivia’s red lips move, saying, “Estrella, although you gave birth to a daughter of Adam, I gave birth to a son of Adam. Dante, he is my son with Adam. During these five years, Adam and I could not meet because of our guilt towards Oscar and public opinion. We could not be together. But Estrella, Adam and I, we really love each other.

With those words, Olivia handed the peeled apple to Estrella, a perfect smile still on her face.
