Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Chapter 18: Difficulty getting along with sister-in-law



In the study, filled with the fragrance of tea, Roberto grabbed the crutch and asked in a low voice-is the girl Paulita’s mother, really? –

Adam passed the DNA report to Roberto and said, “If you don’t believe, you can see it. This is the result of the identification. –

Roberto took the report and saw that it said the DNA similarity was 99%.

So… Star was Paulita’s biological mother?

Roberto nodded his head. He compromised and said-Since she is Paulita’s mother, I have no problem with them getting married. But I am still worried about this girl. She was a surrogate mother…

A little angry, Adam interrupted, “I don’t care where she’s from. Only she can take care of Paulita. That’s enough for me. –

Roberto hooded up and said, “You married her for Paulita? Actually, don’t you love Estrella? –

-It’s the same for you who I marry. You don’t have to worry about me. -Adam replied.

-Do you know what you are saying? – Roberto cringed.

-Father, forget it. We had dinner. –

Roberto could do nothing. Adam was very opinionated since he was a child and no one could change what he decided. Roberto sighed and said, “Okay, but I can’t accept it now. –

Adam loosened his tie and said with a sneer, “Star is my wife, not yours. I don’t care if you accept. –

Roberto was very angry and shouted, “Adam! –

On the second floor, Paulita took Estrella to her room. She cheerfully introduced Estrella to the dolls in the room.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

On the bed, there were some characters from the Peppa Pig animation.

Estrella asked, -Paulita, do you like Peppa Pig? –

-Of course! Ah, Estrella, my name is Paula Rouco. –

-How nice! Did Dad choose this name? –

Paulita nodded her head. Suddenly, she shook Estrella’s hand, sitting on her comfortable bed, and asked her seriously, “Estrella, is it true that you married my daddy?

Star seemed to hesitate and nodded, -Yes. Don’t you want it? Do you regret it? –

Paulita shook her head and said tenderly, “Even though I like you, my friends said the stepmother is very bad. Estrella, are you going to have a baby with my daddy? –

She thought that if Estrella had a baby with her father, he didn’t want her.

Estrella caressed Paulita’s head and consoled-No, we already have you. –

Paulita smiled very sympathetically-really? –

Seeing Paulita’s smile, Estrella remembered the baby born three years ago. She froze for a moment.

The door opened, -What are you talking about? –

Adam saw that Estrella and Paulita were sitting on the bed, hugging the dolls.

Estrella stood up, rubbing her neck uncomfortably. Adam glanced at her and said, -Let’s go to dinner. –

Taking Estrella’s hand, Paulita approached Adam and extended her other hand, -Daddy, your hand! –

The scene of Adam and Star on either side of Paulita coming down the stairs was harmonious and made Olivia very sad.

Everyone sat down. Dinner began.

Roberto was silent for a while before asking, “Now that you have the marriage certificate, when will you have the wedding? –

Estrella stiffened.

The wedding?

Putting on disposable gloves, Adam elegantly peeled the shrimp and said, “Father, we are not going to organize the wedding. –

Roberto became overcast.

Olivia looked at the two of them and smiled-Adán, do you want to marry Mrs. Estrella secretly? –

Adam put the peeled shrimp in Paulita’s bowl, very quietly. He said, “Getting married in secret can save us a lot of trouble. And I don’t like to be vain. –

Olivia smiled.

Estrella was carefully eating her dinner. When Adam laid eggs for Paulita, she shook her head and muttered, -Daddy, it has peppers in it. –

Adam became hooded, -Felipa, why is there chili on the plate? –

Felipa apologized, “Mr. Adán, excuse me. I forget that Miss is allergic to peppers. It won’t happen again. Now I’m going to make a dish without peppers for señorita. –

Paulita asked Estrella, -Estrella, do you like peppers? –

-I don’t like them.

Paulita said, with sympathetic eyes, “Why? I don’t like them because I itch when I eat peppers.

-Me too. I’ll break out in a rash. –

Roberto said with a grunt, -It turns out that Paulita’s allergy to peppers is because of her mother. Okay, have some meat. –

Olivia handed some eggs to her son, and said, smiling-Many people are allergic to peppers. It doesn’t necessarily go from mother to daughter. Just like Adam and Dante don’t like cilantro. –

Dante nodded and asked Adam, “Uncle, don’t you like cilantro? –

Adam nodded.

Estrella was eating dinner with her head down. She looked like what Olivia said was weird.

As Estrella was thinking, Adam said, “Olivia, Estrella is going to work in your apartment next week. Thank you. –

-What? –

Estrella lifted her head and looked at Adam. She thought he had never discussed this with her.

Adam glanced at her and said, -Didn’t you want to apply for the position of illustrator in the Creative Arts department? –

And Olivia was the head of the department.

Olivia was a little angry and said, “Adam, this is not a good idea. She came to our department without an interview, so the colleagues…”.

-It used to happen in the company. It’s nothing,” Adam replied.

Hearing his words, Olivia couldn’t refuse-Mrs. Star, why don’t you come to our apartment on Monday, and then I’ll incorporate you. –

After dinner, Estrella went to the bathroom. When she came out, Estrella ran into Olivia.

-Olivia. –

-It is not necessary. You won’t be Adam’s wife any time soon. He doesn’t even want to do the wedding. Which shows he doesn’t want anyone to know you’re a couple.

Estrella smiled, -He doesn’t like to be vain. –

When Estrella left, passing by Olivia, and heard him say provocatively, “Really? But, when Adam was in college, he confessed his love to me by placing heart-shaped candles under my dorm building-is that modest? –

Estrella stopped her steps and moved on.
