Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

In the living room, Paula Rouco sleeps on the couch wrapped in a blanket, Costillas curled up on top of her.

Severo Laris pulled a stack of papers closer, sat on the edge of the couch and picked up a cushion and placed it next to her lap as she rested her head on it.

She leaned back on her lap on the cushions.

Severo Laris leaned over, papers in his hand as he read them, glancing down at her sleepy, delicate face from time to time.

Costillas is in Paula Rouco’s arms one moment and running to rub against Severo Laris’ leg in another.

As Costillas fussed, Severo Laris’ long fingers rested on his thin lips and made a silent gesture to Costillas.

Immediately, Ribs obediently curled up on the couch and did not move, staring into the cat’s eyes, silently contemplating the sleeping but still pretty face of his mistress.

While Severo Laris’ attention was focused on the paperwork, Ribs tilted his little head and leaned against Ama Claudio’s chest.

Villa Moon Lake Road is an airy design front and back with large patios in the front and back, and at the moment the front and back doors are open and the cool summer breeze through the living room is nice and calm.

Paula Rouco had a long sleep.

When I woke up, the sun had already set in the west.

Severo Laris is already cooking in the open kitchen.

Paula Rouco stood up, wiped the snuggle that was escaping from the corner of her lips, pulled Costillas off her, tore off the blanket and went to pour water and drink.

Because of the blanket Severo Laris had covered her with, she slept in some thin, sticky sweat.

She just woke up with a very dry temperament.

Paula Rouco, barefoot, goes to pour herself a drink of water and a glass of cold water is about to enter her mouth when it is cut off by a large, thin hand.

In her hand, she shoves a glass of lukewarm water.

“Upset stomach, drink less cold.”

Paula Rouco glared at him, “I’m hot!”.

“The warmer it is, the less you should drink cold; the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the body is too great and tends to irritate the stomach and intestines.”

“…”

Paula Rouco took a few sips of lukewarm water before tossing the glass of water in her hand onto the table and spilling her guts, “I’m going to get heat stroke!”

Severo Laris tugged at her and ran his large hand across her forehead, saying earnestly, “It’s cold, not hot.”

Paula Rouco gritted her teeth and pushed the glass of warm water at him, “Who drinks hot water in the middle of summer!”.

Severo Laris took several sips from the glass he had been drinking from and looked at her, uttering his thin lips, “I’ll drink.”

“…”

Paula Rouco ran back barefoot.

Severo Laris’ gaze strayed and rested on her bare white feet.

Severo Laris put a hand on her waist, frowning, and his deep voice commanded from behind, “Put on your slippers.”

Paula Rouco walks over to the couch, slips on a flip-flop and with a kick of her slender legs, the flip-flop goes flying off.

Caught by Severo Laris.

“You’re wearing it yourself!”

I’m not allowed to drink cold water, I’m not allowed to cool my bare feet, and damn, is the air conditioning on in this room or not?

Why was he so hot?

Severo Laris walked over to her in the pink slipper and looked at her, seeing that, indeed, a little sweat was permeating the tip of her nose.

Sitting down beside her, he grabbed her ankles, pulled her legs into his lap and slid the slippers in his hands over her white, bald feet.

“Go take a shower, then it’s time for dinner.”

Paula Rouco kicked him and ran off to the bathroom to shower with her sandals on.

Severo Laris lifted Costillas onto his lap and touched him, frowning and murmuring, “Why are you so afraid of the heat, are you hot?”

Ribs: “Meow.”

Ribs: I’m hot, but I’m afraid to say it!

Severo Laris is heading to the kitchen to cook when his cell phone and caller ID rings, Adam Rouco.

It was clear that Adam Rouco had come for someone.

“Is Paulita at your house?”

Severo Laris said, “Yes.”

Adam Rouco was a little displeased, but said no more than, “Have her come back at eight o’clock this evening.”

Severo Laris had something to discuss with Adam Rouco and said, “Uncle Adam, Paulita’s diet and routine are in a mess because of her depression, she doesn’t eat well, she doesn’t sleep well and if this goes on much longer, her body is going to fail sooner.”

Adam Rouco pursed his thin lips and kept silent, his face was not so worried.

Severo Laris said, “Uncle Adam, ask Paulita to move in with me for a while and I will see to it that she eats and sleeps.”

Adam Rouco frowned, “Severo Laris, now you and Paulita are still unmarried.”

“I know, but I’m not such an animal. Such a beast as to pretend to rape her when she was sick. ”

Adam Rouco is reconciling with Severo Laris, but he can’t bear the thought of seeing his own grown cabbage in another man’s arms, and now he has to give his own grown cabbage to another family.

Whether the other person is Severo Laris or not, whoever he is, this is going to make Adam Rouco’s heart ache.

The fact that Paulita is going to live with her boyfriend is a profound reminder to Adam Rouco that his daughter Paulita is really growing up.

Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed so deeply he could have caught a fly.

Severo Laris spoke with sincerity, “Tio Adan, trust me for once.”

Adam Rouco was reluctant to do so, but he had to see what the juniors wanted.

He was not a man of strong ideas either, but he loved his daughter too much and was reluctant to let her go.

“Can you guarantee that Paulita will eat well and sleep well when she’s at your house?”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“If she loses a pound or two of flesh with me, you can cut me off a pound.” Severo Laris spoke harshly.

…

Estrella Berrocal turned away as Adam Rouco hung up the phone.

Estrella Berrocal asked with concern, “How is it, is Paulita coming back for dinner tonight?”.

Adam Rouco threw his phone on the table with a very unceremonious thump and said, “I’m not coming back, and I probably won’t be home for a few days in a row.”

Estrella Berrocal froze, “So, shall we pick her up and take her home?”.

Adam Rouco grimaced, “Since Severo Laris can tell me she’s not coming back, that means Paulita herself has agreed to stay at home, is it convenient for us to go pick someone up?”

Estrella Berrocal, seeing his displeasure, said amused, “Maybe it’s a good thing, Paulita’s illness was because of Severo Laris and now that Severo Laris has reconciled with her, maybe she will get better…”

Adam Rouco gritted his teeth, his look was capable of killing, “If it wasn’t for that, would you have accepted Paulita staying at your house?”

Estrella Berrocal laughs, “You sneak off to see a lawsuit, don’t you already approve in your mind Severo Laris?”.

Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed with arrogance, “When have I ever approved him?”.

“… Well, you didn’t, I misunderstood.”

Adam Rouco’s eyes twitched and he gritted his teeth: “He’s a hundred thousand miles away from kidnapping Paulita from The Rouco Family! He’s nowhere near being the son-in-law of The Rouco Family, and I don’t want to make things difficult for him because Paulita is sick.”

Estrella Berrocal laughed, echoing him, “Yes, things haven’t moved forward at all with the situation. ”

Adam Rouco doesn’t bother to say anything, turns up his cell phone to his studio to take care of his work and then, as if remembering something, turns to ask Estrella Berrocal in a rambunctious manner.

“By the way, do you know how much Paulita weighs?”

Estrella Berrocal was stunned, frozen by the question, “I remember stepping on the scale once yesterday when I was at home, there must be a record of it, I’ll check.”

After glancing at the record, she said, “Eighty-five point three pounds and two taels, hey, this girl is too thin now, how thin she was before was ninety-two pounds. But why are you asking this?”

Adam Rouco thought a moment and then said viciously, “Cut her a pound of flesh for a pound or two less and she’s dead.”

When he finished, he went upstairs to his study.

Estrella Berrocal looks at the man’s back, confused, cutting the flesh of who? The flesh of Severo Laris?
