Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Adam Rouco called Paula Rouco into the study, where father and daughter were sitting across from each other.

“Dad, is there something you want to talk to me about?”

Adam Rouco had rarely called her into the studio to talk so seriously.

When I made mistakes as a child, I was only taught and verbally criticized.

It was the first time since his birth that such a serious conversation had taken place.

Adam Rouco took a deep breath and said, “Dad … he hid something from you once.”

Paula Rouco’s watery eyes widened in suspicion, “What?”

“Seven years ago, after Dad found out that you and Severo Laris had a relationship, he feared that the other man was a bad person, so he sent someone to secretly investigate his family background and his parents, but I found out that Severo Laris’ father, Leopoldo, was a kidnapper and that the girl he had kidnapped, was you. ”

Adam Rouco stared at his daughter in front of him and spoke bluntly.

Paula Rouco’s fingers under the table, scratching the hem of her coat, silent, just listening.

Adam Rouco continued, “I was afraid that if Leopoldo got out of jail and found out that you had a relationship with his son, he would take the opportunity to approach you and kidnap you again for ransom. For your own safety, I flew to Imperial to meet with Severo Laris. ”

“I know you are stubborn, and that is up to me. Even if you knew that, you wouldn’t have wanted to break with Severo Laris and would have taken on the family instead. So I had to start with Severo Laris, who was so caught up in the bad press with his father that he couldn’t do anything about it, and it was the perfect time for me to tell him to break up with you.”

Paula Rouco parted her lips and asked stiffly, “So … he said yes?”

“I told him that his father had kidnapped you, the equivalent of pinching his weakest sense of self-esteem. He felt guilty about you, and wasn’t brave enough to go on with you, so he agreed to break it off.”

“…” A long silence ensued.

Adam Rouco said, “When you had a miscarriage and were in the operating room, he came and I was the one who kicked him out. Because as a father, I thought you were too young for him to touch you, let alone get you pregnant, so I told him he didn’t deserve to be there waiting for you.”

“As for what happened next, you know all about it.”

After Adam Rouco said it all, Paula Rouco just sat there, always silent.

Adam Rouco said, “Even if you hated Dad, it was what he had to do in that situation because in his heart, your safety was more important than your happiness. But the only thing Dad did wrong was probably not discussing the matter with you, thinking Severo Laris was not to be trusted.”

Paula Rouco sniffled, looked up, looked at Adam Rouco and said, “Dad, I don’t blame you.”

She knew her father would always be on her side.

Adam Rouco smiled warmly and reached out to rub her little head. “I’m glad you understand, Paulita, more than anyone, I want you to be happy and I want you to be happy every day. If you weren’t happy because of the decisions I’ve made, Daddy would blame himself for the rest of his life.”

Paula Rouco sheds tears and looks childishly at Adam Rouco, “Papa…”

Adam Rouco stood up, walked over to his daughter, reached out and took her in his arms.

Adam Rouco stroked her head and coaxed her, “Paulita don’t cry, Daddy will always love you.”

Paula Rouco buried herself in her father’s arms, unable to stop the tears.

The most unrequited love in this world is that given by parents.

Long ago, she had extorted too much from her father, being willful and presumptuous, and now he wanted to apologize to her.

It was her fault, she didn’t know any better.

…

Half an hour later, Adam Rouco left the studio first.

He left room for Paula Rouco to be alone.

Estrella Berrocal stood anxiously at the door, and as soon as Adam Rouco came out, Estrella Berrocal looked unconsciously toward the studio.

“How is Paulita?”

“No guilt, no whimsy, but that’s what makes it all the more heartbreaking for me.”

Estrella Berrocal reddened her eyes and said, “She’s learned a lot over the years, but I’d rather she didn’t do that.”

Adam Rouco reassured, “Now Paulita is sick, when she gets better everything will be back to normal.”

“Is it going to be normal?”

In fact, Adam Rouco is not sure.

Major depression, how difficult it is to treat, and although he is not a doctor, he knows how difficult it is to treat psychiatric disorders.

Still, Adam Rouco said firmly, “Yes, definitely.”

…

An hour later.

Lucio Rouco suddenly shouted.

Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal frowned, wondering what was going on.

Lucio Rouco stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and watched in amazement as the red Porsche 911 flew out into the courtyard.

“It’s no good, my sister has gone for another flying car!”

Adam Rouco looked up and, with a look of astonishment, reached out and slapped Lucio Rouco’s hand, “What are you doing? Go after them.”

Lucio Rouco then snapped back to reality and ran off with the car keys.

…

Paula Rouco made her way through several red lights.

The traffic on the road was impressed by this Porsche 911.

She drove fast, desperately fast, as fast as tears welled up in her eyes.

The blue Maserati exerts all its strength to barely keep up with the Porsche in front of it.

Lucio Rouco couldn’t help but exclaim as he drove his flying car, “What a god driver my sister is!”.

Red Porsche 911, driving up the road to Villa Moon Lake.

…

Paula Rouco sat in her car for a long moment in silence as the 911 pulled into the grounds of Villa Moon Lake Road.

Tears, raging and abundant.

She reached up and rubbed her hand hard.

And then, getting out of the car, they drove toward the villa.

The door to the villa closed and she stood at the threshold, fingers trembling as she entered the familiar string of codes.

It was the day they met and it was her birthday.

After the defeat, it clicked.

The door opened.

The password didn’t change.

Paula Rouco stifled a sob and entered, closing the door behind her.

Lucio Rouco chased it all the way to Villa Moon Lake Road, but could not get in. After informing Adam Rouco, he sat in his car and decided to keep watch, but after a long time, no one left the villa and Severo Laris did not seem to return.

Lucio Rouco falls asleep against the car.

…

Severo Laris did not return to the villa until 9 pm.

He was full of fatigue.

Urgent matters for the group, a lot.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Leopoldo’s demand is even more rumored.

Headache.

Severo Laris re-entered the villa and Costillas ran at him, biting him and tugging at his suit pants.

Thinking that Ribs was hungry, Severo Laris set out to pour cat food into the dish for Ribs, only to discover that there was leftover cat food in the dish that Ribs used exclusively.

When he left in the morning, Ribs had long since finished the cat food.

The Ribs don’t serve their own cat food.

The only person who knew the village code, other than him, was her.

Severo Laris realized something and unconsciously looked up.

Ribs: “Meow.”

Severo Laris’s dark gray eyes were riveted for a moment as he looked up at Ribs and asked, “Is she here?”

“Meow.”

Severo Laris strides toward the upper floors.

Since there were no lights on in the house, he didn’t notice that there were slippers she had taken off in the foyer, one to the east and one to the west.

He was too tired to notice.

Severo Laris walked up the stairs and stood at her bedroom door when she stopped for no apparent reason.

Deep down, it’s a violent heartbeat.

He hopes he’s inside.
