Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella endured the pain of being kicked by Irene in her stomach, got up from the floor and looked carefully at the unknown man in front of her.

She had acted so well, but that man noticed that she had been pretending, -Sir, this matter has nothing to do with you. You’d better not interfere.

The man looked at her with interest, smiled mockingly, -Don’t worry. I’m not your enemy, you don’t need to be so cautious with me. If I really wanted to be against you, I would have already gone on stage to relieve the truth when you used the pepper to bring out the tears.

The man revealed her tricks easily, Estrella felt inexplicably embarrassed, she coughed a little, -What do you really mean?

-I have nothing to say, I just want to make your friend.

Estrella looked at him funny, -You came to attend Irene’s wedding. Not only did you not help her, but you also want to befriend her enemy? Sir, the way you engaged in a real conversation is outdated.

The man was neither annoyed nor angry, but kept a polite smile, and took out a gold-colored stamped business card from his wallet, and handed it to him, -This is my business card. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Estrella accepted the card. On the gold-colored stamped business card were printed the words “Jonathan Tasis”, he was the general manager of the Tasis Group.

The Tasis family of La Ciudad Santa was a famous noble that had emerged in recent years. Although not as famous as the Rouco family, they were definitely a wealthy family.

The reason he approached her made her even more suspicious.

Manager Jonathan, I am only a daughter of a non-noble family. It is unlikely that I can help you. If you have nothing else, I have something to do. Excuse me.

Clutching her business card, Estrella turned to leave. But Jonathan behind her said quietly, “I can tell you that Doria is going to become my father’s second wife. Just like you, I don’t like them either. And you are the person who knows them best.

It turned out that Doria wanted to join the noble Tasis family….

Estrella didn’t look back, she smiled, “Not only do I not like them, I hate them.

Jonathan Tasis looked at Estrella’s slender figure, smiled.

…

After leaving the Hilton Hotel, Estrella looked at the time. It was a quarter past seven. It was Paulita’s birthday. She was going to the bakery to buy a birthday cake to take home. According to the time, she still had plenty of time.

There was a pastry shop in the center of town that was expensive, but the taste was particularly good. It was not far from here. To save time, Estrella wanted to walk along the path. But after she entered the tree-lined avenue, someone followed her on the sly. Heart pounding, she wanted to turn her head to take a look, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. It was a tall man in a cap and mask. Then, his nose and mouth were covered with a handkerchief!

-Ah… Ah…!

She struggled hard, but her whole body was becoming weaker and weaker, and her vision gradually became blurred. She only remembered that the man who stunned her had lowered his eyebrows.

…

In the Rouco family home, in the dining room.

Roberto, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the time. It was 7:50, he frowned and said, “Estrella! Knowing that tonight is Paulita’s birthday, but she still doesn’t come home this late! Let’s not wait for her anymore! If she doesn’t come back after twelve o’clock, won’t we celebrate Paulita’s birthday?

Paulita’s face lay on her two little arms, and she asked very sadly, “Daddy, when is Estrella coming back?

Adam touched her head and comforted her, “I should be back soon.

Roberto said coldly, “We’ve been waiting for her for more than an hour. If she wanted to come back, she would have been back a long time ago! We don’t know where she went to have fun at night! Is there anything more important than celebrating her daughter’s birthday?

Paulita said with her little mouth, “Grandpa, she should be late buying me cake. Grandpa, don’t be angry with her.

The nicer and more obedient Paulita was, the more he hated that Estrella did not respect courtesy. He asked his granddaughter consentingly, “Paulita, don’t you want to eat cake? I’ll break you a little first.

Paulita shook her head stubbornly, “Grandpa, I want to wait for Estrella to come back and sing me the birthday song before I eat.

Adam said, “I’m going to call her and see where she is.

Adam walked to the side and made several calls, but no one answered. When he made the call again, her cell phone was already turned off.

The expression on the man’s face became very cold and his eyes were as cold as ice.

Roberto was even angrier, -Wow, she didn’t answer the calls? She’s a mother, but she doesn’t behave as well as Paulita! Let’s not wait for her anymore, let’s go to dinner!

With a slightly depressed face, Paulita was very sad, she got down from her chair and ran to Adam’s side, grabbing Adam’s pants with her little hands, frowning and asked sadly, “Daddy, why didn’t Estrella come back to celebrate my birthday? She doesn’t like me?

Adam looked down and saw that she was about to cry with her big eyes. His heart ached, he bent down and lifted her up, -Let’s eat first.

Seeing that his granddaughter was very sad, Roberto broke a piece of cake with strawberries and gave it to Paulita. But Paulita was not very interested, she was not happy at all. Roberto put down his chopsticks, he didn’t feel like eating either, -If she doesn’t want to come back to celebrate Paulita’s birthday, she should tell us clearly. Why does she want us all to wait for her here? As a mother, she doesn’t value her daughter, but as a grandfather, I value my granddaughter very much!

Olivia looked up and looked at the time. It was eight o’clock. It looked like they had made it. If something of an incident hadn’t happened, Estrella would no longer be in The Holy City.

She gently persuaded them, “Dad, maybe Estrella is on her way back. Shall we wait for her while we eat?

-She ruined my good mood. I don’t want to eat! Paulita, tomorrow I’ll take you out to celebrate your birthday!

He left this sentence very angry, got up and left the room with the cane.

Adam put down his chopsticks, lowered his head and said to Paulita, “Paulita, eat something first so you don’t go hungry. I’m going out.

Paulita was crying and said in a tearful voice, -Daddy… Are you going to look for Estrella?Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

-I’m going to get Estrella to come back to celebrate your birthday. Don’t cry. Okay?

Paulita sniffed and nodded with tears streaming down her face, “Yes, I’m not crying! I’m waiting for you and Estrella to come back to celebrate my birthday!

Olivia was surprised and hurriedly stopped him, “Adam, it’s already too late. Now you’re going out to look for Estrella, in case she’s on her way back…”.

But Adam ignored her. Estrella didn’t dare not answer his calls and turn off her cell phone afterwards. Her instincts were always sharp. And he sensed that what was happening was strange. Estrella went to attend Irene’s wedding, maybe, something happened to her.

The man entered the courtyard, understood the black car and left the villa of the Rouco family.

In the car, while driving, Adam called Santino.
