Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Chapter 17: Getting to know your family



A Maybach pulled into the Rouco family’s yard and parked firmly on the lush lawn.

Estrella clenched her sweaty fists. She was a little nervous. Although she and Adam were pretending to be a couple, she now had the feeling that they were a real couple going to meet her in-laws.

Adam got out of the car. Seeing that Estrella was still sitting, Adam knocked on the window and said, -Do you want me to hold you?

Estrella took a deep breath and opened the door. Biting her lips and said, -I’m a little nervous. Do I want to know if it’s hard to get along with your family? –

Actually, Estrella had been more interested in asking if his family was as hard to get along with as he was. But she didn’t dare.

She thought it was so hard to get along with Adam, that’s how everyone in his family was and they must all be similar to him in temperament.

Paulita consoled him and said, “Estrella, my grandfather and my aunt are very nice. And my grandmother and uncle died. –

Estrella thought that Adam’s family had a simple family composition, with no entangled feuds.

Therefore, she only had to get along with Adam’s father and sister-in-law.

Thinking this way, Estrella was much calmer.

Holding Estrella’s hands, Paulita entered the house. Adam grabbed Estrella’s wrist and said, -Wait a minute. –

Estrella asked, “What’s wrong?

Estrella saw Adam pull a black velvet-lined case from his pocket. He opened it and a diamond-studded ring appeared.

The ring was very simple and elegant, with sparkling diamonds, which was very expensive at first glance.

Adam shook Estrella’s hand and put on the ring that fit her very well.

-Why are you putting the ring on me? Our relationship is fake… –

Before she could finish the words, Adam had interrupted her-I want to make everything perfect. –This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Estrella was stunned. She had not expected Adam to be so attentive.

She thought they had just met and the ring Adam chose was the perfect one for her.

In the room, there was a very depressing and strange atmosphere.

Adam took Estrella into the living room and introduced her to her father-Father, this is Estrella. Estrella, this is my father. –

Even though Estrella had prepared for all this, she was still a little nervous. She said-Hi, Dad, it’s Estrella. –

Roberto Rouco sat on the sofa, taking a period. He didn’t even glance at Estrella, just snorted-Adán, I am your father. I didn’t participate in either of the two big events in your life. You always do before you tell me. I’m not qualified to be your father. –

Robert did not know that Adam had a daughter. Now that Adam had a wife, he is the last to know.

He was very angry.

The atmosphere between them was very uncomfortable. At the same time, Felipa came out of the kitchen, said, -Sir, dinner is ready. –

Roberto took out the glasses and put them on the small table. He glanced at Adam with his deep eyes and said-The whole family is here. Let’s have dinner. –

Taking her grandfather’s hand, Paulita approached Roberto and said, “Grandfather, this is Estrella. I like her very much, don’t you like her too, right? –

Smiling, Roberto asked his granddaughter, -I haven’t seen you like other women before, why do you like her so much? –

Estrella stayed in her high heels and she felt angry. Roberto’s words were not kind to her.

If it wasn’t for her home, she wouldn’t be here being humiliated.

In front of everyone, Adam raised his arm to hold her and said-because she is Paulita’s biological mother.

What Adam said surprised everyone. Star looked at Adam, unconsciously tugging Adam’s sleeve with her hand.

Estrella thought about what was wrong with Adam.

They never kissed, they never even had a girl.

The most surprised was Roberto. He looked carefully at Estrella and then at his granddaughter next to her. He thought they looked very much alike.

Roberto stood up with his crutch, gave Adam a deep look and ordered him: “Come with me to the studio. –

Estrella forgot to let go of her sleeve because she was so uneasy. Adam slightly pulled Estrella’s hand away and comforted her-Wait for me a moment. I’ll be right back. –

When Adam and his father went upstairs, Olivia came over and petted Paulita. She said, -Paulita, Dante is watching animation. Can you go get him for dinner? –

Paulita agreed, -Olivia, you help me to treat Estrella well! –

-Of course. – Olivia said.

Now, there were Olivia and Estrella in the room.

She said, -There have been pregnant women before to force Adam to marry her, but none of those women were as cunning as you. You have secretly given birth to Adam’s baby so that he would have to carry it home. And now, showing up when he’s forced to marry. You know how to look for opportunity. –

After his words, Estrella thought that Adam had made many women pregnant. Adam was a ladies’ man. At first she thought Adam was a cold person, but she did not expect him to have such a strong sex drive.

Olivia sneered with her arms crossed and said, -But, I don’t think you can be Adam’s wife all his life with the identity of Paulita’s mother.

Estrella took a deep breath and, smiling, replied kindly, “Mrs. Olivia, we have had a marriage certificate. We are legally married. I hope you will give us your blessing. –

-You are nothing more than a person used by Adam to deceive Roberto. Don’t pretend you’re in love with Adam in front of me. –

Estrella lowered her head and nervously wondered if Olivia had guessed that she and Adam were cheating on Roberto because of his bad acting.

Maybe she is too sensitive. Estrella felt that this woman was against her.

Estrella lifted her head and smiled, “I don’t understand what you’re saying. We are in love. I hope we get along as a family. –

Olivia smiled a sneer and said, “A family? It’s impossible with you. –

At the same time, Paulita and Dante left the room. Paulita walked up to Estrella and asked, -Estrella, do you want to visit my room? –

Estrella nodded and said to Olivia, -Olivia, forgive me. –

It wasn’t until Paulita took her out of the room that Estrella relaxed.

This family was difficult to get along with.

Estrella thought that, from now on, she had to be careful.
