Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Adán Rouco insisted and Estrella Berrocal stepped back.

She was his wife if she had slept with him and bore him children, and she wasn’t the only one who met that criterion!

Even if Micaela did not fit this criterion, what about Olivia Montes?

Estrella Berrocal was not one to hold a grudge, but she could not accept that there was a child between Adán Rouco and Olivia Montes.

“So Olivia Montes is also your wife…”

Before he could finish his question, Adán Rouco’s cell phone rang.

They both looked up at the same time; it was the daycare phone.

Adán Rouco picked up the phone: “Hello”.

“Is this Paula Rouco’s father, please?”.

Adán Rouco’s brow furrowed, “Yes, what’s wrong with Paula Rouco?”

The kindergarten teacher who was there said anxiously, “Paula Rouco’s father, please come to the kindergarten, Paula Rouco is not feeling well since she fell asleep today after lunch, our teacher has taken her temperature and she has almost forty degrees, she has a high fever …”

Before the teacher could finish her sentence, Adán Rouco said in a deep voice: “I’ll be right there, please physically refresh her first.”

“Good, good.”

After hanging up the phone, Estrella Berrocal asked worriedly, “Is Paulita sick?”.

“Yes, a very high fever, I’m on my way.”

“I’m coming with you!”

Adán Rouco looked at his battered arm: “You’d better stay here and wait”.

Estrella Berrocal knew that she could not help and that she might cause some trouble for Adán Rouco, so, although she was worried, she had the courage not to follow him.

…

When Adán Rouco arrived at the nursery, Paulita’s face was red and burning.

“Dad, Paula is sick.”

Adán Rouco picked up Paulita and told her in a mute, reassuring voice: “Hold on a little longer, daddy will take you to the hospital soon and you’ll be fine”.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor recommended an injection and, once in the injection room, Paulita cried like a wolf, with watery tear stains on her little face, and clung to Adán Rouco’s neck: “Daddy I don’t want an injection …. I’m scared! Daddy, I don’t want the injection! The injection hurts!”

“If you don’t get the injection you will get burned, behave yourself, after the injection daddy will take you to buy something tasty.”

“Dad, I won’t eat the treats! I don’t want the shot!”

The more she cajoled him, the louder he got and Adán Rouco simply stopped cajoling and held the little girl, grabbing her by the restless legs, “Doctor, do it.”

“Ooooooooooooooooooo … Daddy doesn’t love Paula anymore… I’m going home to tell Grandpa! Tell Estrella! Dad is harassing me! Ooooooooooooooooooooooo …”

It wasn’t the first time that Adán Rouco brought Paulita in for an injection, so the experience was there, you just have to hold on and hold on for a while.

The doctor pulled down the little girl’s pants and, in a few moments, injected her with a dose of medicine.

When the injection was finished, Paulita cried with two big red eyes: “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo …. Daddy I don’t love you anymore”.

The little girl sobbed and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Adán Rouco ignored her, carried her and took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and headed for the hospital exit.

…

Rouco Group building, in the president’s office.

Estrella Berrocal remembered that her laptop was still on the set and wondered if it had broken.

He was about to go to the set to pick it up when the office door slammed shut.

“Is anyone there?”

It was Micaela’s voice.

Micaela pushed the door and Estrella Berrocal, who was sitting on the sofa, froze, but Micaela was not surprised. I saw that you had left your laptop on the set and I assumed you were in Mr. Adán’s office, so I sent it to you”.

Estrella Berrocal was quick to raise her hand to pick it up, Micaela was extremely kind and placed the computer on the table, “Don’t move, I remember the cut was deep, sit down.”

Estrella Berrocal was flattered by Micaela’s good nature, “Thank you for bringing me the computer”.

Micaela smiled slightly, “Why are you thanking me? I came to thank you, thank goodness you were on the set and saved me from the knife, otherwise I would be in the operating room right now and tomorrow’s headlines would be: “Famous actress Micaela stabbed on the set …”. Anyway, I’ll take it as a favor, if you need anything from me in the future, just ask. ”

Estrella Berrocal was confused, she didn’t expect Micaela to be so approachable, she rubbed her neck embarrassed, “Actually, I just did…”

“You blocked a knife for me, whether intentional or not, I thank you. Someday I’ll invite you to dinner with Mr. Adam and bring Paulita.”

Micaela spoke, surprisingly, as if she and Adán Rouco and Paulita were a family of three …

Didn’t Micaela … did not like Adán Rouco?

Had I really misunderstood?

Estrella Berrocal told the truth: “Miss Micaela, in reality, I am not Adán Rouco’s girlfriend”.

Micaela smiled at him intrigued: “Just because you’re not now doesn’t mean you won’t be, give it a try. Besides, I don’t think Mr. Adam is disinterested in you.”

Estrella Berrocal was even more confused, “Miss Micaela, don’t you like…?”

“You don’t think I like Mr. Adam, do you?” Micaela seemed to have heard a great joke, “I know, you must have misunderstood because you saw the gossip this morning, how is it possible that Mr. Adam and I …”

Micaela unconsciously imagined that image, how would she and Adán Rouco react when their magnetism was totally opposite!

“Then you know Paulita very well…”

“I know Paulita well because I like children, Adán Rouco and I are not friends, he is a good friend of my husband, so he usually brings Paulita to our house to play, they are two big men talking about things, so Paulita I have to bring her, and since I bring her, I get attached to her. ”

A husband? Is Micaela, the national goddess, married?

Estrella Berrocal had not had time to digest the news when Micaela turned her head and smiled at her as she reached the door of her office: “By the way, in the photo at the bar last night, I asked Mr. Adam especially to cooperate with me. It was to stifle his arrogance.”

Micaela is a tall, cold beauty in the eyes of the public, which creates a sense of distance at first glance, and Estrella Berrocal did not expect her to be so popular.

“The reason Mr. Adam is willing to work with me, I think he and I are starting from the same point, although he didn’t say it explicitly, last night, we could both see that he was in a bad mood.”

Estrella Berrocal was stunned, was it because of her? Because she had lied to him yesterday?

Micaela and Adán Rouco were really innocent …

For no apparent reason, Estrella Berrocal was both relieved and embarrassed.

I had thought so badly of Adán Rouco before …

…

Paulita had cried all the way.

By the time we arrived at the Rouco Group, Paulita was exhausted and had gradually stopped crying.

This little girl is good at everything, but she has been spoiled by the old man. Every time she cries, she cries more, and so she can’t kick the habit.

If Adán Rouco left her alone, she would stop crying for a while, but if he cajoled and addressed her, she would cry more and more.

After Adán Rouco led her to the elevator, Paulita threw her arms around his neck and asked, “Papa, why don’t you cajole me?”

“Dad’s right, why do I have to fob you off?”.

“Dad you’re fobbing me off, I told you not to take the injection, that it hurts, why don’t you listen to me, Dad?”.

Adán Rouco had a serious look on his face, “The fever will only go down with the injection, even if your grandfather was there a moment ago, you had to have it. And besides, you’ll still have to take the injection tomorrow!

“I don’t … ooooooooooooooooooo…”

The little girl began to cry again with her mouth wide open until she reached the office on the sixty-sixth floor and before father and daughter had entered, Estrella Berrocal heard a loud scream.

As soon as the office door opened and Paulita saw Estrella Berrocal, she stretched out her little arms for Estrella Berrocal to grab her, “Ooooooooooooooo …. Estrella! ”

Estrella Berrocal was trying to hug Paulita when Adán Rouco glanced at the wound on Estrella Berrocal’s left arm and suddenly sneered, “Leave her alone!”

“Why are you so mean to the child, Paulita is already suffering from her illness, if you are mean to her, she will suffer even more.”

Adán Rouco sulked, left Paulita on the sofa and returned to his desk to work, ignoring her completely.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Estrella Berrocal had felt guilty for misunderstanding him, but now, seeing him so mean to Paulita and remembering how good he was with Dante, she got a little angry and said, “Paula is a child, but she is still your daughter, you are so patient with Dante, why aren’t you half as patient with Paula?” patience.

Just because Dante was a son, born to Olivia Montes, I was extra fond of him, right?
