Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

The man’s dark and cold look made Estrella feel shivers, she tried to explain, but stammering she said, “I, I don’t…”.

I really wasn’t with him while he was flirting with Ricardo.

Sandra looked fiercely at Ricardo and apologized to Adán, -Adán, what a shame this situation is, it’s all because this bastard boy doesn’t know what to do, you and Estrella take the Paulita back first, today’s business just pretend it never happened- -Sandra said to Adán, -It’s all because this bastard boy doesn’t know what to do, you and Estrella take the Paulita back first, today’s business just pretend it never happened-.

-Mom!

Ricardo looked at Estrella with dissatisfaction, then his gaze turned to Adam, “Uncle, can I talk to you alone?

Sandra very angry -After making such a big joke, what else do you want to talk to your uncle about?

However, Adam was extremely patient as always -Sandra, it’s all right, I’ll talk to Ricardo alone-.

Ricardo followed Adán to the Prats’ garden.

Only Sandra and Estrella were left in the room, along with Paulita.

Sandra took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions and said calmly, “Mrs. Estrella, since you are Adam’s wife, why did you come to my house for lunch as Ricardo’s girlfriend?

-I… Aunt, with Ricardo…

-Wait, according to our relationship, you shouldn’t call me aunt, you should call me what Adam calls me, like sister or Sandra.

Star was uncomfortable, embarrassed in the extreme, but how was she going to explain to Sandra that she and Adam were not really husband and wife?

-Sandra, Ricardo and I met in Paris, we were schoolmates, after we came back to the country, I never had time to explain to Ricardo that I married Adam, so…. –

Sandra frowned -So you had a relationship with Ricardo before, but you are with two men at the same time, or should I say so, you took advantage of Ricardo to meet Adam, when you met Adam who had a better condition you left Ricardo, right?

Sandra looked at her and laughed contemptuously.

-I really didn’t know, I didn’t know that Adam was Ricardo’s uncle, Ricardo and I weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend before either….

-You and Ricardo have been together for three years, and you still don’t call it a dating relationship? Mrs. Estrella, I can’t understand your point of view about love relationships and I’m not sure how messy your private life is, but since you are married to Adán now, don’t mess with Ricardo again, please don’t mess with other men again-“.

Estrella bit her lip and clenched her fist, “Mrs. Prats, no matter what you think of me, Ricardo and I have never been a couple, I have always treated Ricardo as my good friend.

Paulita, who was at Estrella’s feet, raised her little face and looked at Sandra, furrowing her little eyebrows and said protectively, “Auntie, my daddy and Estrella are genuinely in love, Estrella doesn’t like Ricardo!

Sandra felt unhappy, her son had been sentimentally deceived by this woman and now even Paulita was on this stepmother’s side and her good first impression of Estrella was totally lost now.

…

In the back garden.

Ricardo spoke bluntly, “Uncle, Estrella has already told me all about you.

Adam who was with one hand in his pocket, his face was calm and he only raised an eyebrow -Oh? what did he say to you?

-She told me it was just a contractual relationship between you two, I know she pretended to be married to you for the sake of La Villa Berrocal, Uncle, I like Estrella, I always liked her during those three years in Paris, Uncle, I hope you can let us be together-“.

The corner of the man’s thin lips lifted slightly, “You like her, and you… she likes you?

Ricardo kept silent for a few seconds and said, “Even if you still don’t like it now, but uncle, you can return La Villa Berrocal to Estrella, the money it cost you, I will compensate you. Please give Estrella her freedom back.

Give him back his freedom?

He made it sound like he was stealing a girl by force, the man spoke with a deep tone -I didn’t force her to be with me, she is an adult and will be responsible for every decision she makes, she doesn’t need others to pay for her. If this is the matter you want to deal with, there is nothing to talk about between us-“.

As he finished those words, Adam had already turned around and Ricardo hurried to call out to him, “Uncle, do you like Estrella?

Adam did not turn around, but Richard behind him, opened his mouth slightly, -Like it or not, I already slept with her-.

Check.

Richard stood stiffly in place for a moment, until Adam entered the house and still did not come to his senses.

…

After Adam returned to the living room, he took Estrella in his arms and spoke to Sandra with a slight smile, “Sister, may I formally introduce you to my new wife, Estrella.

Sandra and Estrella’s faces did not look very good, only Adán did not look uncomfortable.

-Sister, we will not stay for lunch today, I will bring Estrella to visit another day.

After saying that, Adam had already guided Estrella and Paulita to leave Prats’ house together.

…

Back at La Villa Berrocal, as soon as Adam arrived home, he went straight to the study room.

Paulita shook Estrella’s hand and gave her a disgruntled face -Estrella, daddy is angry, go and spoil him soon-.

Star hesitated for a long time before going upstairs, opening the door to the study just before entering, she was coldly rebuked by a male voice -Out, knock on the door-.

-…-

Estrella had to go back outside, close the studio door, raise her hand and knock softly on the studio door in a polite voice as she asked, “Please, may I come in now?Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

-Enter-

Estrella pushed the door, biting her lip and stuttering for a long time before speaking slowly -I came to explain, Ricardo invited me to eat at his house, I didn’t know his mother would misunderstand my relationship with him, he and I…-.

-Do you like him?

Adam’s face lifted, his dark eyes rested squarely on her face, and his question was very direct.

Estrella was stunned, her mind inexplicably remembered what Olivia told her, she pursed her lips and said -Whether I like it or not, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, we only have a contract relationship, when the contract ends, there is no more relationship between us, who I like or not, there is no need to inform you, is there?

After finishing these words with a drumbeat in his heart, he felt that to say such words was obviously to provoke Adam and cautiously looked at the man’s face from the corner of his eyes.

Adam’s slender fingers holding the pen stood still for a while and he suddenly stood up, walking towards her.

The tall, erect figure of the man approached, an invisible pressure formed around her, she unconsciously stepped back until his back hit the door behind her, Estrella looked at him warily, swallowed saliva and asked timidly, “The contract between us, when does it end?

-What? So eager to be with my nephew?

The beautiful face of the man suddenly approached, his hot breath sprayed her small face, tickling her, she was confined in this small space, her brain could not control itself quietly, even her heart beat a little faster, only the pleasant and magnetic voice of the man could be heard with a little teasing passing by her ear, -Have you forgotten that besides contract relationship, we also have a sexual relationship?
