Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

-Have you investigated me?

Estrella came out of the bathroom in her white shirt, her little face a little red, not sure if it was from the heat and steam or from the anger she felt.

The man looked at her carefully.

-How dare I take you home to sleep together without first doing some research on you?

His voice was clearly devoid of any emotion, even cold and hard, but Estrella’s heartbeat suddenly quickened at the words “sleeping together.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He pursed his lips and asked calmly, “If Lord Adam has investigated me so clearly and you know that I have had someone else’s child, why does he keep choosing me?

The man’s calm and focused gaze was on her -It is because you have had a child and will be more patient and affectionate with the children. I’m not looking for a woman who can be my wife, but someone who can take care of Paulita and give her the motherly love she lacks.

Estrella frowned and unconsciously opened her mouth to ask, “What about Paulita’s real mother?

From what the Paulita said, this little girl had never seen her mother since she was a baby, did her mother divorce Adam after having her?

Adam’s dark eyes gave a pause, he pursed his thin lips and stared at her for five seconds, Star thought he did not want to answer such a personal question, perhaps in his opinion, she was not fit to know his personal affairs, after all, at that moment they did not know each other very well yet.

-If you don’t want to talk about it, assume that….

“I didn’t ask” these two words had not yet been spoken, only the man’s cool, calm voice was heard without a trace of emotion answering -He died from complications in childbirth-.

Estrella was stunned -I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would remind you of something so sad-.

-Sleep-

Adam avoided the subject and went straight to bed, Star who was standing there panicked for a moment, “Then I’ll sleep on the floor!

Adam tugged on her wrist, “What do you think the maids who clean the room will think when they see you sleeping on the floor tomorrow morning?

-I’ll get up early tomorrow morning to put everything in order.

The large, slender hand that gripped her wrist did not let go, but held her even tighter -It’s not a matter of a day or two, you’ll have to get used to it sooner or later- -It’s not a matter of a day or two, you’ll have to get used to it sooner or later-.

If things go as revealed, she would have to leave and Villa Berrocal would be taken back by Adam, thinking for this, Estrella was left with no other option and slowly climbed into bed.

Turning off the light, Estrella pulled the quilt and approached the edge of the bed little by little until the man grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back, “Do you want to put the whole quilt aside for yourself?

A male presence above her head, it was so close, under the dim light, she raised her eyes slightly looking at the man’s jaw, voice trembling with nervousness -I… I… I don’t…-.

They were so close to each other, so close that with a slight movement, her lips could kiss his thin lips.

He clenched his fist, “Adam… Let go of me!

-Do you like this kind of jokes so much?

Dark eyes glared mockingly at the woman beneath her.

Estrella just felt humiliated, biting her lip and looking at him with indignation -Mr. Adam, I’m not one of those women you have out! Nor am I like Olivia! If you have a physiological need…. you wretch…!

Adam stared at her with a dense gaze and said -First, he did not touch outside women, second, Olivia is my sister-in-law, don’t let me hear you slander my relationship with her again, third, you are someone I bought with five million euros, being responsible for my physiological needs is within your duties- -First, I did not touch outside women, second, Olivia is my sister-in-law, don’t let me hear you slander my relationship with her again, third, you are someone I bought with five million euros, being responsible for my physiological needs is within your duties-.

In order to keep Villa Berrocal, not only did he have to pay Guillén’s mother and daughter five million for the demolition, but he also made Adán lose that land, not only did it cost him five million!

He must be crazy to spend so much money on such a disobedient and difficult to tame woman.

Estrella’s watery eyes widened anxiously -…. The contract doesn’t say this!

-Article 23 on the third page of the contract, the contracted party must be responsible for all the needs of the contracting party.

-…-

You pervert! You bastard!

After Estrella hurled all kinds of insults at Adam inside her mind, for the sake of her livelihood, her little hand gently pulled the arm of the man next to her, -Mr. Adam, you can remove this service from the contract, you can have any woman you want, a second-hand woman like me who has already had a child, I’m afraid she wouldn’t be interested…-.

She did not expect the man’s dark eyes to look at her playfully and from his thin lips to say astonishingly -A second-hand woman, when tasted, has more taste-.

For Estrella it was an uncomfortable and confusing moment.

And she begged again -So… can you put on your clothes?

The man’s voice spoke calmly, “I’m used to being naked in my sleep,” he said.

-…-

The woman in his arms was so frightened that she froze there, not daring to move.

…

The next morning, when Estrella took Paulita to the kindergarten, she also went to leave her resignation from her job, her part-time job at the kindergarten, although she liked it very much, but that job was not in line with her profession, now Adán asked her to work in the creative department of the Rouco Group, she had no reason to refuse.

When he returned to Comunidad de Mar Azul, when he opened his phone he noticed that there were a dozen missed calls on it, all from Perla, it must be because he had stayed out all night the night before.

He climbed the stairs as he thought about how to explain to Perla later the reason he had stayed out all the night before.

When she entered the house, Perla approached her and sniffed her body vigorously -Confess everything! You have to be honest, which man were you with last night! What man could make Estrella not come home all night?

She denied shyly, “I don’t…

-Don’t deny it! You have a strong smell of a man.

-I really didn’t, I just went back to Casa Berrocal last night to spend the night.

-Perla was puzzled. “Weren’t they going to demolish your house?

-The… my friend’s friend happens to be a good friend of Adán, I asked her to help me intercede, Adán promised me not to demolish La Villa Berrocal and also promised me that I would be allowed to work in the Rouco Group.

Perla was confused as she listened -What friend of a friend is a good friend of Adam? Who the hell is she?

-Oh, I don’t know either, anyway, now La Villa Berrocal can be preserved and I can also go to work for the Rouco Group.

Perla, who had always been simple-minded, let herself be carried away by Estrella and said excitedly, “So you got your father’s house back! And you have a job!

-Yes, Perla, thank you for taking care and welcoming me this time.

-Thank you for what! Is it necessary to be thankful in our relationship? Since something so joyful has happened, we have to go celebrate tonight!
