Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Chapter 48: Can we start over?



The black Spyker entered the Rouco family mansion. Without getting out of the car, Adam saw through the windshield Paulita sitting on the walkway not far away feeding the mosquitoes.

The little girl sat upright on the small stone bench, she was upright, pouting. She looked a little sad, as if she was waiting for someone.

After getting out of the car, Adam walked down the aisle, frowning and asking in a soft voice, “Why are you sitting here, don’t the mosquitoes bite you?

-Daddy.” The little girl lifted her face and called out to Adam in a low voice, but he had no intention of entering the house.

Adam was patient, embraced her who was on the stone bench and sat down in the aisle with her. His voice was a little hoarse but soft, he asked tentatively, “Did you fight with your brother?

The little girl shook her head, pouting. Her long eyelashes fell and a small shadow appeared under her eyelids. She lifted her face and looked at Adam and said, “I didn’t fight with my brother. I’m waiting for Papa and Estrella.

Did you expect him and Estrella?

The man frowned, “Star is gone?

-Yes, Dad. After you left, so did Estrella and she left with a suitcase. Estrella said she went back to the Berrocal family for a few days, but I always feel that Estrella doesn’t love us anymore. Dad, can you go to the Berrocal family to pick up Estrella?

Paulita thought bored. She didn’t know where the Berrocal family villa was. If she had known, she would have gone to look for Estrella a long time ago.

Adam’s eyes darkened and contained the complicated emotion of anger and joy.

That woman really dared to leave the Rouco family.

Did he really ignore his words?

-Dad? Did you hear me?

The little girl took Adam’s hand and shook it gently.

Only then did Adam turn his mind. He lowered his eyes to look at his daughter, his eyes were pampered and soft, -All right, daddy will pick up Estrella to come home tomorrow night.

Paulita immediately widened her eyebrows and smiled and slipped into Adam’s arms, holding his neck and laughing, “I can see Estrella tomorrow!

Adam saw the tracks that were bitten by mosquitoes on Paulita’s legs and arms. He was a little worried and entered the house with the child in his arms, “Grandfather is not at home. Why isn’t there someone to take care of you? And they let you be alone, sitting in the yard to feed the mosquitoes?

The man’s tone was a little angry, but he didn’t know who was to blame.

Olivia, who had just come down from the second floor to pour water for Dante, heard Adam’s words, clenched the cup in her hands, looked at them and explained in a low voice, -I have persuaded Paulita to come back to the house, but she…. –

Adam said in a cold voice, “If you cannot persuade her, you can at least smear mosquito water on her.

Olivia choked up. This was the first time that Adam had been unhappy with her because of Paulita. She was a little heartbroken, “Adam, Paulita was just bitten by mosquitoes outside. Why are you mad at me?

Besides, Paulita’s mother didn’t care about her. She was just his aunt. He didn’t blame Estrella, he blamed her?

When Adam was angry, he showed no emotion. He had a calm face. Naturally, they could not know how angry he was and when his anger would subside. Olivia knew she had said the words too many. She pursed her lips and said, “Adam, it really didn’t occur to me to smear mosquito water on Paulita.

Adam petted Paulita, Olivia knew. But she didn’t expect that Paulita was only bitten by mosquitoes and he was so distressed that he became angry with her. Did he like Estrella’s daughter that much?

Adam ignored Olivia and took the little girl to the room on the second floor.

When he reached the children’s room, Adam took some mosquito water to spread on it. The little girl sat in his arms, frowned and asked, “Daddy, are you angry?

-No, there are a lot of mosquitoes recently, do not sit in the yard at night.

-Well, Dad. Aunt never called me to come home. If she had called me, I would have been back a long time ago.

Adam was surprised, then raised his hand and scrunched up his nose. He said with a laugh, “You’re smart. I thought you were so firm. Can’t you insist if someone calls you?

The little girl twisted her mouth and said, -But the mosquitoes are so annoying! They made me very uncomfortable!

Seeing Paulita’s beautiful reaction, Adán lowered his head and kissed her forehead, “Felipa gave you a bath, yes?

The little girl nodded and took the opportunity to say, “But I like it better if Estrella gives me a bath!

-I’ve heard. Tomorrow I will take Estrella home.

The little girl crawled into the quilt, Adam caressed her face, “Go to sleep, daddy is waiting for you to sleep before he leaves.

After Paulita fell asleep, Adam left the room and saw Olivia standing in the doorway waiting for him.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

-Adam…

Adam didn’t answer, turned around and walked straight to the bedroom. Olivia was explaining behind him-Adam, do you still blame me for not taking care of Paulita? I know you love Paulita. But don’t you think you treat me too strictly? Have you ever thought about it that I look at Paulita who is the child that another woman gave birth to and you, how do I feel? Sometimes I really envy Estrella, why …-

The man stopped and turned around suddenly. His black eyes examined her sharply, “You mean he hasn’t liked Paulita for a long time?

-How is it possible? I, I didn’t mean that… Adam, I don’t hate Paulita…-

Adam frowned slightly, his eyes black as a cold pool. He fixed his cufflinks inattentively, but what he said was frightening-I didn’t investigate why Paulita fell and hit her head the last time at home. Because I didn’t want to embarrass my older brother’s wife. Paulita is my daughter and she only calls you aunt. If you don’t take care of her, I don’t blame you. But if you want to harm her, I’m not allowed.

Olivia’s face turned pale, -Adam…. Do you really think I caused Paulita to fall and hit her head? Even if Paulita is not my biological daughter, but also my niece, how could you think me so cruel and vicious?

Adam was still very calm, it seemed that nothing had happened, -Sister-in-law, if I had nothing else, I have to rest.

The man turned to go into the bathroom, Olivia hugged his waist from behind. Her face pressed against his back, she closed her eyes and cried silently, “Adam, we were very affectionate in the past. Why did it become like this?

Sister-in-law, please respect yourself.

The hands around her waist tightened further, -No, I don’t want to be your sister-in-law. Adam, I never wanted to be your sister-in-law before! You asked me for love when you were in college. You love me, you still love me now, don’t you?

Adam coolly pushed her hands away. As he pushed open the bathroom door, Olivia reached up and unzipped her dress. The dress fell to the floor at her feet. She hugged him again, her busty chest pressed against his back tightly, “Adam, let’s start over, shall we?
