Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

-Does Adam know… that Dante is his son?

Estrella’s hands clenched unconsciously.

Olivia’s eyes lowered slightly, settling on her clenched fists nervously, and she smiled slightly, “Adam…. Of course he knows Dante is his son. My father-in-law is a traditional and conservative minded person, Adam and I are afraid of irritating him, so we have kept it a secret, but we have been looking for an opportunity to talk to my father-in-law about this matter. For the past few years, my father-in-law has been looking for a girlfriend for Adam, Adam thought about confessing to his father, but I didn’t dare-.

So that was the reason Adam had asked her to pretend to be his wife, just to pretend to the Roberto?

But if that were the case, why did Adam propose to her just now?

Olivia understood the situation, she smiled slightly and took Estrella’s hands, she said softly -Estrella, I heard Adam talking about marrying you a moment ago, about this matter I am very sorry, I am very sorry for you-.

Star looked at her in confusion, “Are you sorry for me?

-Some time ago, Adam brought you home just to incite me, he said that if I kept backing out of this plan he would really marry you, I know he still wants to force me-“.

-…-

So she’s totally a tool to piss Olivia off?!

Even though she knew this was a business contract and that she was cooperating with Adam only to get La Villa Berrocal back, why after learning these things from Olivia’s mouth, she felt so resentful.

Olivia seriously said, “Star, you’re still so young, it’s not worth losing your lifelong happiness. My relationship with Adam shouldn’t involve you either.

Estrella was about to say something when the phone on the side rang, the caller ID indicated it was Ricardo.

Olivia’s eyes were surprised to see the caller ID.

Did she and Ricardo also know each other?Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Estrella looked at Olivia and held her phone without answering the call, Olivia understood the situation and got up -Then get well soon, I won’t bother you-.

After Olivia left the room, Estrella answered the phone.

Ricardo asked desperately, “Star, where are you now?

Star was stunned -I’m, I’m in the hospital -I’m, I’m in the hospital-.

-What? Did you get sick?

-I have a fever.

-Which hospital are you in? I’m on my way there right away!

…

Fifteen minutes later, Ricardo appeared in Estrella’s hospital room.

-Estrella, what happened last night….

Once she thought about last night’s messy scenes, Estrella immediately said -We were both drunk last night, don’t worry I won’t take it to heart, besides nothing happened between us-.

Ricardo stared at her pale face, her eyes were dull and he asked hesitantly, “Estrella, are you really my uncle’s wife?

Estrella frowned, very confused -Your uncle? Your uncle is…

-Adam is my uncle and Perla’s uncle, last night he was the one who took you out of the bar, he also said that you were his wife, Paulita’s mother. Estrella… When did you meet my uncle?

Adam turned out to be Ricardo and Perla’s uncle?!

This event was like a bomb that exploded in Estrella’s head and exploded leaving a mess.

His brain was in a mess, he didn’t know how to explain this matter to Ricardo, -I… me and Adam, it’s not what you think-.

Ricardo was also desperate -Estrella, how are you and my uncle in the end? Are you married to him or not?

-No, no…

Ricardo wanted to inquire and asked, “Then why did my uncle say you were his wife?

Estrella held her forehead, she couldn’t keep lying, so she had to tell the truth -I was making a deal with Adán, he helped me to recover La Villa Berrocal and I pretended to be his wife to deal with his family-.

-What?

Ricardo was surprised, but still he let out a huge relief and said with a long sigh, “Luckily, luckily, you were just acting, what would I do if you really got married?

-Ah?

Ricardo stopped immediately and swallowed saliva -My uncle is someone older for us, if you were together, would the relationships be confused? you are my schoolmate and Perla’s best friend, would Perla and I have to call you aunt in the future?

Estrella moved her lips and pleaded, “But, can you help me keep this matter secret for now, in case Rouco’s side finds out….

-Well, I’ll definitely keep it a secret.

Estrella looked at Ricardo and asked with some curiosity, stuttering, “By the way, since Adam is your uncle, then you must also know Olivia, right?

-Yes, Olivia is my aunt, but her husband died young and it’s quite difficult for her to raise the child alone.

-So… how did your husband pass away?

-He had a car accident on the road and died, is something wrong?

Estrella was stunned and shook her head.

So it looks like Olivia really didn’t lie to you?

Damn Adam, how dare he try to trick her into marrying him, it would be impossible for her to marry him!

When the contract expires, she would immediately dissolve the contractual relationship with him and resume her freedom.

While she was deep in thought, Ricardo looked up and saw that the serum was almost finished. -It’s almost over, I’ll call the nurse to come and take out the needle.

…

When the nurse finished removing Estrella’s needle, Ricardo then said, “Where are you staying now, shall I take you back?

Estrella remembered Paulita and Adán in the children’s room; it did not seem right for her to go alone with Ricardo.

-I’ll go to the bathroom first, wait for me here for a while.

-All right, come back soon.

…

In the hallway of the children’s room.

-Adam, do you still blame me for not having taken good care of Paulita?

Adam with a hand in his pocket and a clear and calm look, -Sister-in-law, I’m not blaming you, you don’t have to feel guilty-.

Olivia frowned -But your attitude towards me is so cold, Adam, the way you used to treat me, it wasn’t like that…-.

-Olivia, you are thinking too much.

As Estrella made her way to this area of the children’s room, her eyes lifted and then she met Olivia’s gaze not far away.

Olivia was stunned, and just as Adam turned to enter the room, her hands suddenly wrapped around his neck-Adam-

Lifting her head and trying to kiss his thin lips, only the man reacted too quickly, his head tilted and his red lips kissed her cheek.

Olivia’s gaze across Adam’s shoulder looked at Star who was stunned.

She looked frozen and after standing still there for a few seconds, she hurriedly turned around and walked away with quick steps.

Adam pushed Olivia away, his dark eyes were extremely cold, the man pursed his thin lips, not saying a word as he looked at her sullenly, he was seething inside him.

From the living room came the tender voice of Paulita -Daddy! What are you doing? I want to drink water-.

Adam had his hands in his pockets, his eyes were as cold as ice, he turned around and walked into the living room.

Obviously, Adam was angry about the kiss just now.
