Chapter 27: The nephew who steals his uncle’s wife
Estrella was breathing heavily as she ran out of the children’s room.
The image of Adam and Olivia kissing flashed across her eyes.
She shook her head, before she could come to her senses Ricardo was already calling out to her, “Star, over here, I thought you had passed out in the bathroom and I was coming to get you.
Ricardo approached her and as he took her out of the hospital, he asked, “By the way, how long are you and my uncle going to continue acting?
Estrella was stunned, -This… I’m not quite sure-.
Ricardo nodded, just now his mother called him and asked him to take his girlfriend for a look around, and have lunch together at noon, taking Estrella, shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Anyway, it was fake the relationship between Estrella and his uncle, it was just a misunderstanding, he had already decided to call his uncle tonight, talk to him properly and tell him that he liked Estrella, let his uncle return La Villa Berrocal to Estrella and end this meaningless deal.
After getting into the car, Estrella’s mind was a mess and the only thing that unconsciously popped into her mind was the kiss between Adam and Olivia in the hospital hallway.
The two are in love, she and Adam were acting anyway, what does she care what Adam and Olivia want?
A burst of irritation.
She froze when she looked at the car window, this was not the way back to La Villa Berrocal.
-Ricardo, where are you taking me?
-To my house, my mother wants to invite you to lunch.
Estrella was impressed -Your mother wants to see me? why?
Ricardo looked at her innocently -My mother saw your picture and thinks you are nice, she has always wanted to see you-.
The Porsche had already entered the grounds of Prats’ house, Estrella was very afraid that something would go wrong, once she got out of the car she turned around and wanted to escape -Ricardo, I’d better not go to lunch at your house, okay?
Ricardo grabbed her hand and headed towards the house -We are here, my mother is very good, don’t be afraid-.
Estrella was taken “by force” to Prats’ house by Ricardo, -Mom, I’m back-, -Mom, I’m back-.
Ricardo’s mother, Sandra Rouco, came down from upstairs wearing a decent and elegant dress, once she saw the girl standing next to Ricardo, her extremely well-groomed face immediately showed a smile of joy -Ricardo, is she… your girlfriend?
-Aunt, I…
Ricardo interrupted and introduced her with a smile -Mom, this is the girl I mentioned before, the one I met studying in Paris, Estrella-.
Sandra Rouco suddenly reacted, looked understandingly at Ricardo and took Estrella affectionately and said -So you are Estrella, after Ricardo has returned, he often mentioned me to you, saying that you are very good at taking care of people, thanks to the fact that you took care of him in Paris-.
Estrella’s face flushed, embarrassed by the compliment -Aunt, I didn’t do it, I had to thank Ricardo who took care of me in Paris. I couldn’t help him much.
Sandra Rouco saw that this “couple” had a good relationship, she said to Ricardo -Today is a happy day, call your sister to come to lunch-.
When Ricardo went to call Perla, Sandra took Estrella and said kindly, “Estrella, stay home for lunch today.
Since she had come, Estrella was too embarrassed to refuse and could only nod her head -Okay-.
Sandra seemed in a good mood and indicated to Ricardo, “You and Estrella have fun first, I’ll go get Elisa Xirau, the maid to prepare lunch.
Estrella was taken upstairs by Ricardo, Sandra looked at her silly son who had a girl he liked, she couldn’t help but be happy, she went to the landline, first she called Jairo Prats, her husband after hanging up the phone, she thought it was hard to gather so many people, why not call Adam too, her brother always had a good eye for people, it would be good to call him to give Ricardo a helping hand looking at her.
…
At the People’s Hospital.
Adam was holding Paulita, who had just finished the IV, and went to Estrella’s room and found that she had already left the hospital.
Paulita hugged Adam’s neck and asked him, “Daddy, where has Estrella gone?
Adam was about to call Estrella when Sandra’s call came in.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
He replied…
-Hello, sister.
Adam, Ricardo brought his girlfriend home today at noon, I asked your brother-in-law and Perla to come back too, if you are free, bring Paulita to the house for dinner, so you can help Ricardo and see how his girlfriend is. You are always good at seeing how people are. I’m afraid Ricardo will be fooled by a girl since he’s so innocent.
Ricardo’s girlfriend?
Adam stared at the empty hospital bed, his dark eyes deepened, the corners of his thin lips lifted, -It’s all right, Sis- -It’s all right, Sis- -It’s all right, Sis- -It’s all right, Sis- -It’s all right, Sis.
He would like to see what Ricardo’s girlfriend will really be like.
-Well, then I’ll wait for you to bring Paulita to lunch.
After hanging up the phone, Paulita pouted with her little mouth and asked, “Daddy, are we going to my aunt’s house for lunch? So, aren’t we going to look for Estrella?
Adam led the Paulita out of the room, a playful smile crept under his eyes -You can see Star later-.
…
At Prats’ house, at the dinner table.
-Mom, Perla said that she is not in good health and cannot come.
Sandra Roucoregañó laughed, “This girl! When she moves she thinks I won’t be able to send her anymore, right?
Star frowned, Perla was at the bar last night, nothing had happened right?
While she was thinking about it, an engine sounded in the Prats’ enclosure, Sandra, calculating the time, said -It must be your father who arrived, I’ll go to see him-.
Sandra got up and went to the door of the house, she could only see Adam who entered hugging Paulita, as soon as Paulita saw Sandra, she shouted tenderly -Aunt!
Estrella, who was inside the house, heard that familiar childish voice and a shiver ran through her body.
Paulita?!
Until Sandra led Adam and the Paulita to the door, Estrella’s eyes met the man’s deep gaze in an instant.
That look that sent pure shivers down Estrella’s spine, .
As soon as Paulita saw Estrella standing over there, she jumped out of Adam’s arms and ran into Estrella’s arms, “Estrella, why are you here?
Estrella froze, not knowing what to say.
Sandra was stunned, “Adam, do you and Mrs. Star know each other?
Adam’s dark eyes burned as he looked at the woman, not only did he know her, but we even have a daughter.
Paulita proudly took Estrella’s hand and said to Sandra, “Aunt, Estrella is my daddy’s new wife, she is my new mommy!
Sandra was struck by lightning -What, what?
Ricardo hurried to grab Sandra’s arm and hurried to speak -Mom, Mom, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think… -Mom, Mom, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think…
-You brat! You bring your aunt here to trick me? When your father comes back later, he’ll beat you up! This is nonsense…
Estrella stood uncomfortably to one side, Adam with his long legs had already walked towards her, the man’s body was full of presence of majesty and with such a dominant aura, so Estrella unconsciously took a step back, but was held by the man’s large hand, the man leaned slightly and said in her ear with a masculine and deep voice that only between the two of them could be heard -I didn’t know you were so ambitious, on the one hand being with me and on the other hand flirting with my nephew?
