Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal untied her apron and came out of the kitchen, saying, “Felipa and I have all the dishes ready, Lucio, why don’t you ask your sister and Severo Laris to come, it’s not late to eat before bedtime.”

Lucio Rouco was about to scream when he saw the door to the back seat of the Maybach in the courtyard open.

Severo Laris and Paula Rouco got out of the car and approached the villa.

Lucio Rouco: “Here he comes.”

Roberto Rouco pushes his presbyopia glasses over the bridge of his nose and looks closely at Severo Laris, who is not far away.

“Hey, this guy is pretty good looking and tall, Lucio, who is taller between you two standing up?”

Lucio Rouco has not been compared closely, but to the naked eye he appears to be the same height.

Adam Rouco said disdainfully, “Dad, have you never seen a handsome man? Your son, your grandson, which one is better than him?”.

Roberto Rouco: “What are you talking about, do you think you are good? I heard that Paulita, the boyfriend, has taken down a business dynasty of his own on Wall Street, in the United States, in seven years”.

Lucio Rouco: “Grandfather, you’re going too far, anyway we shouldn’t light a fire in the yard, we have to be united against the enemy.”

Roberto Rouco grunted and said proudly, “I am being impartial and truthful. Besides, who is with you two, I am with Paulita, leave me out of it.”

Adam Rouco: “Dad, it’s okay if you don’t like me, I’m not going to bother you because of your age, but today I’m not going to let you go against that Severo Laris who has taken your granddaughter. ”

Roberto Rouco continued mockingly, “Who wants you out of the way.”

Lucio Rouco sighs: this family is so childish that it would be a shame to show Severo Laris.

Estrella Berrocal came out of the kitchen with the dishes and said with a smile, “Dad, why are you arguing when you are having a good conversation?”.

Roberto Rouco: “It’s Adam Rouco, a day without a fight with me is a day without feeling good!”

Severo Laris and Paula Rouco happened to walk into the house.

Paula Rouco: “Grandpa!”

Roberto Rouco’s stinky face immediately smiled in a kind and sympathetic way, “Yes! Paulita, come to Grandpa and let him take a good look at you.”

Paula Rouco ran and hugged Roberto Rouco, and the old man took his granddaughter’s hand again and turned to look at her.

Roberto Rouco whispered to his granddaughter, “Go cajole your father, your father says he’s not going to let that boyfriend of yours get away with it today, he has his thoughts against Severo!”

Paula Rouco smiled and sketched a small smile, “Thank you Grandpa for the kind reminder.”

Severo Laris approached and greeted all the members of The Rouco Family politely.

Roberto Rouco gave him a good look.

Adam Rouco did not look at Severo Laris at all times.

Estrella Berrocal, mild-mannered, smiled slightly and said to Severo Laris, “Dinner is served, wash your hands with Paulita and get ready for dinner.”

Severo Laris nodded slightly, “Good.”

And then the family settled down to eat.

Roberto Rouco sat at the head of the long table, took a seat and surveyed the crowd.

Adam Rouco and Lucio Rouco sat down right away.

In contrast, Severo Laris helped Paulita drag his chair over first and arranged for Paulita to sit down before he sat down.

Roberto Rouco scoffed: “Look how well Severo takes care of people, learn from him”.

Adam Rouco: “…”

He is connoting to.

Estrella Berrocal also felt connoted and explained, “Dad, it’s not that Adam and I are newlyweds anymore, the truth is that I wouldn’t be used to him dragging my chair if he did.”

Roberto Rouco said, “Let’s eat.”

They all move their chopsticks together.

Adam Rouco is not talkative at dinner parties, and today he’s in a somber mood, so he’s even quieter, the kind of guy who can catch fire if he lights up.

After all, Lucio Rouco is a child and not a man naturally capable of pulling off a family affair.

At the table, only Roberto Rouco and Estrella Berrocal were able to pull off a family affair with Severo Laris.

Estrella Berrocal said, “Well, Severo, it’s your first day here and I don’t know what you like to eat, so I’ve cooked something with Felipa, something that Paulita likes.

Severo Laris said in a light voice: “Tia, don’t bother, I have similar tastes to lita, I will eat what lita eats”.

Estrella Berrocal smiled and said, “Careful”.

Roberto Rouco looked kindly at Severo Laris and asked, “Oh, Severo, I hear you are thinking of marrying Paulita?”

Paula Rouco paused in her meal of shrimp and looked unconsciously at her father sitting across from her.

Adam Rouco’s sharp eyes, just in time to meet his daughter’s, said coldly, “What are you looking at me, something you’re not telling me?”.

Paula Rouco: “…”

Forget it, eat and keep your mouth shut.

Severo Laris solemnly replied to the old man, “Yes there is intention to do so.”

Adam Rouco grunted slightly with an expressionless face: “You have that plan, I don’t have it yet”.

Roberto Rouco pays no attention to Adam Rouco, nor does he collaborate with him, smiling benevolently at Severo Laris: “It’s good to get married, it’s good to get married, young people who fall in love and don’t get married, that’s a hooliganism. Don’t be like some people who don’t marry well when they are young and get into sham marriages. I say, ah, people who use fake marriages to cheat their parents are the most childish and shameful!”

Adam Rouco: …

What’s wrong with the old man today? Always all kinds of connotations about him.

Estrella Berrocal was a little embarrassed by what was said, and although Severo Laris and the children didn’t know who the old man was talking about, Estrella Berrocal was a thief.

Adam Rouco frowned, “Dad, you usually teach us that eating without talking is bad for the digestive system, so you have to eat right.”

Roberto Rouco was displeased in a nutshell: “You eat your food and leave me alone, I have a good digestive system and I don’t need to worry about it”.

When Paula Rouco’s plate of prawns was finished, Severo Laris helped her peel some more.

Roberto Rouco looked at the two children with an aunt’s smile, “Very good, very good.”

Lucio Rouco couldn’t stop laughing and was about to suffer internal injuries, “Grandpa, it’s great when you don’t even get it right.”

“Brat, I’m warning you, you’re too young, don’t follow your father’s example when it comes to relationships and marriage, he’s useless.”

Lucio Rouco stuffs a piece of red meat in his mouth, “The official spit is most deadly, dad, I’m a little heartbroken.”

Paula Rouco chopped the vegetable salad and shredded jellyfish.

Adam Rouco glares at his daughter, “Why don’t you say anything, don’t you have anything to tell me?”.

Paula Rouco gives Adam Rouco a stick of vegetable salad and cold jellyfish with her regular chopsticks, “Dad, vegetable salad is very good for the fire. You should eat more.”

Adam Rouco stared at her, “Did you take the family account book when it disappeared?”.

Estrella Berrocal’s heart skipped a beat, “Paulita, you got the account book, huh?”.

Paula Rouco obediently said, “Dad, did you forget that I told you I lost my ID card and had to take my account book to get a replacement?”

The look on Adam Rouco’s face made it clear that he believed in a ghost.

Severo Laris put down his chopsticks in his hand and said in a deep, solemn voice to everyone present: “Grandpa, uncle, aunt, lita and I, we got our ID yesterday.”

Paula Rouco lowers her head, lita chops her rice, and I get rained on without melon.
