Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella’s eyes twitched, her gaze fixed on the watercolor drawing of the warm family of three relatives.

-Paula is lonely?

The little girl held her little face, the big bright eyes turned, nodded seriously and said miserably, -Hmm! Paula I don’t have any friends, my mom never comes back from planet Mars to see me. Paloma’s mother makes Paloma beautiful braids every day, and Paula also wants mommy to braid my braids for me.

Estrella couldn’t help laughing and raised her hand to touch the cute short hair. -Paula, you have short hair and they can’t braid it.

Paulita pouted and said sadly, -Because no one helped me braid braids, and my dad took me to the hairdresser to cut my hair. Papa said he couldn’t do the braids, and papa is so stupid.

Estrella snorted and laughed, imagining Adam clumsily holding the chiquita’s hair, frowned, and couldn’t braid it. She had heard of Adam’s fierce ways in business. However, it was hard to imagine that such an Adam had no alternative.

-Don’t cut your hair this time, I can help you braid it.

The little girl frowned and asked thoughtfully, -Hmm? Is it a nice braid like Paloma’s?

-Of course, Paula is so pretty, and the braids must look very beautiful on you.

The little girl’s soft white hands suddenly grabbed her, “Star, my mother can’t come back from the planet Mars, can you be my mother temporarily?

Estrella was surprised, “Huh?

The little girl sat down on the steps with a sigh and said pitifully, -If Estrella won’t be my mother, then my daddy will definitely let other women be Paula’s mother, but those aunts will mistreat me Paula, they won’t give me food Paula, and they will beat me Paula. Estrella, if they will hurt me and I will end up in the hospital, will you come to see me?-?

The little girl’s big teary eyes looked at her innocently, and her pitiful little appearance made her feel pain.

Would Adam’s wives mistreat this little girl?

With Adam’s presence, logically they did not dare, but behind his back, would it really be as the little girl said, not giving her food, mistreating her or even beating her?

Estrella’s motherhood was overwhelming, and she asked anxiously, -Does your father usually take the women home?

To make Estrella her mother, Paulita did not hesitate to betray her father, put her little arm across his chest and said indignantly, -Humph! When my daddy brings the women home, he no longer pays any attention to me, and sends me away to play alone.

Estrella frowned and could not contain herself from being angry. This Adam seemed like a gentleman. She thought he was very fond of Paulita and cared for her. It turned out that he preferred women to his daughter.

-Do you really want me to be your mother?

-Of course! Because I know Estrella won’t mistreat me!

She also wanted to protect Paula, but… she was not the one who made the decision, -This, you have to ask your father’s opinion, what I say doesn’t matter. However, even if I cannot be your mother, I will communicate with your father and ask your father to accompany you further.

The little girl blinked deftly with her big eyes, “Star, I take it as you agree!

Estrella looked at the little girl with affection, and took her little hand, “Okay, hurry up and go to class.

…

When school ended in the afternoon, Paulita was the last of the class to leave.

With the experience of the last time, Estrella called Adam directly and the phone rang for a long time before he answered it.

-Estrella spoke. Mr. Adam, it’s four o’clock and all the children in the class have left. When are you coming to pick up Paula?

The man on the other end of the line, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, his voice was low and calm, -I’m in a meeting and it won’t be over for another two hours, please take care of Paula now.

As soon as he finished saying, he hung up the call.

-…-

Estrella twitched the corners of her mouth. Would anyone else be such a parent?

I really doubted that Adam found Paula on the street.

Wasn’t Adam afraid that she would kidnap Paula?

Estrella lowered her eyes, looked at the little girl standing at her feet with a small backpack, looking at the little girl, squatted down and said quietly, -Your father has important things to do right now, he’s going to pick you up in a little while, why don’t I take you to play around?

The little girl was not sad at all, she clapped her hands and said happily, “Okay! Star, can we go to your house and play?

She led the little girl out of the kindergarten, as she talked to her, -Hey, shall we go to my house? But there is nothing fun at my house.

-I just want to go to Estrella’s house! If a girl bullies me next time, I can go to Estrella’s house!C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Estrella pursed her lips and smiled. This little girl was pretty smart and knew how to run away. -If a girl bullies you, you have to call me first. You can’t run off by yourself, you’ll get lost, you know?

-Estrella, can you give me your phone number?

Estrella agreed without thinking, -All right.

The little girl was wearing a smart phone watch with a touch screen, and her little wrist brought Estrella close to her, “Estrella, put in your phone number, and I can call you next time!

Estrella put her cell phone number, -That’s it.

The two left the kindergarten, as they passed a KFC, the little girl suddenly stopped and stood there not wanting to leave, her little hand touched her stomach.

Estrella looked at her with a smile, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat KFC?

The little girl nodded, “Um, Estrella, can I have KFC?

-Of course, let’s go in.

After entering the KFC, Estrella asked Paulita for a children’s combo, and ordered a glass of Coke and a hamburger for herself.

The little girl grabbed the Colonel’s chicken nuggets and nibbled happily, seeing her eating so happily, Estrella couldn’t help but ask her curiously, -Does your father bring you to eat KFC on the weekends?

She shook her head, two greasy little hands held the drink, and the little mouth bit the straw and sucked, -Daddy said that eating KFC was not good for your health, so he never brought me here to eat KFC.

Sure, KFC was fried food, although a lot of kids liked to eat it, but it was really bad for your health.

But it was worth it, seeing that the little girl was eating it so happily.

However, it seemed that Adam accompanied Paulita very little.

While eating the mashed potatoes, Paulita was talking to Estrella, “Estrella, can you not tell my dad that I ate KFC today? Otherwise, he’s going to be mad at me.

-Okay, this is a secret between us, I won’t tell your father.

Suddenly, Paulita stood up, crossed the table, leaned with her little hands and reached over with her little lips, and gave a loving kiss on Estrella’s face, -Thank you Estrella!-.

Star was surprised, he touched her face because he was kissed by her, he felt happy for no reason.

Even if she really did become Paulita’s stepmother in the future, it would be because of the exchange with Adam, but how could she now be under the illusion that she was really Paulita’s mother?
