Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Chapter 33: Family of Four



The next day, Estrella got up very early and prepared a hearty breakfast.

As Adam and Paulita came down the stairs, Estrella quickly got up from the dining room table, looked up and smiled at the father and daughter coming down the stairs.

-I don’t know what kind of breakfast you and Paulita would like to have. But I made something. Come and try it.

Estrella thought: If Adam would like this breakfast, she would take the opportunity to mention the party. If the man is in a good mood, he might agree.

She was too timid, otherwise, if she persuaded him again last night, the matter would be resolved.

Adam looked at the breakfast on the table, showing no emotion or expression. Paulita ran over happily, looked at the food on the table with wide eyes and praised without hesitation, -Madre mia mia! Estrella! You’re great!

Estrella asked Paulita to sit in a special chair for children and filled her plate with rice soup, then asked, “Paulita, what do you want to eat?

Paulita pointed to the cream bun, “I want this!

Estrella took a small cream puff and put it on her plate. The little girl ate happily.

When Adam sat down to eat, Estrella graciously handed him the dinner service. Although this elegant man seemed cold, she enjoyed his service. She pursed her lips, “Well….

Just as she wanted to speak, Olivia and Dante also came downstairs. He interrupted her with a smile, -Estrella, did you prepare breakfast? It’s so abundant.

Estrella was very shy and nodded to Olivia, “Good morning, Olivia.

-Good morning.

Olivia walked over and sat down next to Adam very matter-of-factly. While eating breakfast, Olivia pretended to touch Adam’s left hand involuntarily and said calmly and gently, “Adam, I hear you’re having dinner with the GK delegation tonight. Drink less to protect your stomach, okay?

Estrella stood there, like an outsider. She ate the dry toast and looked at the two lovers.

It turned out that Adam was having dinner tonight and found it impossible to accompany her to Irene’s meeting.

Estrella felt a little irritable, either because she might be embarrassed by the evening or because Olivia and Adam’s couples’ way of living together stimulated her.

Adam lowered his head and looked at the back of the hand Olivia had touched. His eyes were cold, and he raised his head to look at Estrella again, -Do you have something to tell me?

She was a little surprised, biting her lip, -No, no.-.

She already knew he was going to dinner in the evening, and it would be incomprehensible to ask him to accompany her to a gathering of friends.

Besides, I would not agree. In this case, it was better not to mention the matter.

I was sitting at the dining room table, eating breakfast in frustration. The sound of a car engine suddenly rang out in the Rouco family courtyard.

She looked out the window into the yard. The sports car that entered the Rouco family’s yard was a family Porsche. The owner of the car was Ricardo.

Estrella was surprised. Why did Ricardo come here so early?

She looked at Adam cautiously and discovered that this man was also looking at her coldly.

She thought: Why are you looking at me? I didn’t let Ricardo come here.

Although there was no ambiguity between her and Ricardo, but Adam looked at her like that, she felt guilty.

Olivia was not surprised, but pretended to be, “Why is Ricardo here? Estrella, they tell me that you are also a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris. Is Ricardo your classmate?

After hearing Olivia’s question, Adam’s face became even colder. He put the knife and fork in his hand on the plate and made a loud crash.

Estrella’s eyes trembled, she looked at the man and said calmly, -We are just students.

-Star!

As soon as Ricardo entered the house, he first called Estrella. Then he greeted the elders politely, “Good morning.

Estrella was very nervous, “Why are you here?

Ricardo was suspicious, “Don’t you remember? You sent me a text message to pick you up this morning and accompany you to Nanshan Cemetery to bury your father.

Adam, who was sitting off to the side, had a cold look in his eyes when he heard this.

-No… it’s not that.

She thought: When did I send Ricardo a message?

Her whispered excuses were of no use, she only felt a pair of indifferent eyes looking at her, and she felt a shiver.

The man who had been silent suddenly stood up, carrying Paulita’s little bag of peppa, and said, “Come on, Paulita.

Paulita frowned and protested, -Daddy, I’m not full yet!

Adam picked up a bottle of milk from the table and another bag of packaged toast. He picked up Paulita in the children’s chair with his other hand, “You can eat in the car.

Immediately after, Olivia smiled at Ricardo and Estrella, and looked at Dante, -Estrella, Ricardo, let’s go first and, go on with the talk.

Estrella turned her head and looked, Olivia and Dante climbed into Adam’s black Spyker.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Estrella felt sad for no reason, they really looked like a family of four.

Ricardo looked at the dining table and asked, “Estrella, have you eaten? If you have eaten, shall we leave too?

Estrella did not eat anything at all, but she no longer had an appetite. She picked up the bag on one side and said calmly, -Come on.

In the car, Estrella remembered the text message, “Let me see the message I sent you.

Ricardo handed her the cell phone and Estrella actually saw the text message he sent….

-Ricardo, can you come to Rouco’s family to pick me up at 7:30 tomorrow morning? Can you accompany me to Nanshan Cemetery to bury my father?

The phone number was in fact his. However, she never sent him a text message.

What happened?

Did she send a text message while sleepwalking? But there is no record on her cell phone.

Richard smiled and said, “I know you don’t like Adam. When I convince him, you don’t have to pretend to be husband and wife.

-Ricardo, I’m really not for you.

In addition to her current relationship with Adam, three years ago, she also served as a surrogate mother for a strange man. She kept this secret the whole time, she didn’t tell anyone, not even Perla knew about it.

Ricardo looked at her and took her little hand with one hand, -I know you may not like me now, I think it’s because we have been friends for a long time. Estrella, I don’t care about your relationship with Adán. I know what happened that night was just an accident. Please give me a chance to pursue you. If you still don’t like me after a while, I won’t regret it.

Estrella clearly remembered Ricardo’s acts of kindness from the past three years, but she never dared to imagine that she could still have that kind of ordinary love.

As I was thinking, the phone rang, it was Irene.

There was a triumphant female voice on the phone that reminded him, “Star, don’t forget to come to the party tonight! Get dressed and come with Adam!

Estrella hung up the phone. The evening’s party was bothering her.
