Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Rufio was recently blessed with a son and called all his friends with great joy.

Severo Laris, of course, is among his venomous friends.

First thing in the morning, Rufio’s call was like a cattle prod, so loud that Severo Laris eagerly picked up the phone.

During this time, even Paula Rouco was awakened.

Severo Laris merely put his arm around Paula Rouco and half leaned on the bed, picking up the phone while reaching out to smooth someone’s fur.

As soon as he answered the phone, Rufio held his breath and made a feint, “Mister Severo~”

Severo Laris frowned, “If you have something to say, I’m going to hang up if you continue with the cockiness.”

Rufio immediately said, “No, no, no, I have a great joy to tell you, and of course it could be yours too!”.

“What is it?” Severo Laris blurted out.

Rufio coughed twice and cleared his throat, “Ahem, I’m going to be a father and you’re going to be a godfather!”.

Severo Laris chuckled, “So you called me in the wee hours of the morning to brag about your bundle of joy?”

“In the wee hours of the morning, our Susana tossed and turned in bed for four hours until at 6 a. m. she gave birth to a big, fat, eight-pound baby boy!”

Severo Laris smiled slightly, “Congratulations.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

After hearing Rufio’s excitement and joy, Severo Laris put the phone back on the bedside table and went back to sleep with Paula Rouco in his arms.

Paula Rouco asked in a daze, “What time is it?”.

“It’s only seven o’clock, sleep a little longer.”

Paula Rouco: “Was that Rufio just now?”

Severo Laris said, “Yes, Susana gave birth to a son, seven pounds and eight taels, and Rufio went crazy with joy.”

Paula Rouco opened her sleepy, watery eyes to look at Severo Laris and asked earnestly, “Severo, at your age, many of your friends should have children, would you be lost if we didn’t want them?”

Severo Laris looked at her, reached out and rubbed her messy little head, smiled fondly and said, “Not at all.”

“Really?”

Severo Laris hugged her and sighed, “To be honest, I don’t like children very much, I’m not very good with them even if I have them, my own family of origin is not very successful, and if I have a child, I’m afraid of overdoing it if I give him too much, and if I give him less, I’m afraid he’ll lack love. Also, with a child, my energy will be more or less dispersed and then I won’t be able to pay attention to his moods all the time.”

Severo Laris paused, looked at her steadily and said solemnly, word for word, “lita, I want the best for you, life yes, love too, and I want to give you complete and undivided love. As for treating you, I don’t have to worry about abusing, because abusing is what I want to do with you.”

Paula Rouco smiled sweetly at him and reached over to give him a tight hug, her little head nestled in his arms, “Severo. ”

Severo Laris put his arm around her, kissed the top of her hair and said in a deep voice, “As for your comment that everyone had children at my age, that’s everyone, there are people in this very world who like to have children and there are couples who like to be chiquitas. Having or not having children is not a measure of happiness either.”

“As for you … lita, I cringe for you, and I can’t do enough to let you risk your life just to have a baby. Much less to let you bleed so much just to have a baby. I have you and that’s really enough, it doesn’t take strings or children to make our bond strong.”

“There are couples in this world who have children simply to pass on the family name or to make the relationship stronger. There may be families that are lucky enough to experience the joys of having children, but with children, all the romance and the two that a couple has, becomes less and less because of the children.”

“Lita, I want to always have you all to myself alone, with no third parties in our world, and for you to never have to worry about me ignoring your emotions because we are having a baby. That’s all the security I can give you.”

Paula Rouco threw her arms around Severo Laris’ neck and said, “I’m not lost until you are.”

Severo Laris patted her on the back, “I have you, how can I be lost.”

Paula Rouco threw herself into his arms, rolled her eyes and murmured, “Because everyone says it’s time to have children at this age, but I don’t want them, Severo, I’m so glad it’s you I love and married.”

Severo Laris unconditionally tolerates her every whim and approves of her wholeheartedly.

They are of one world.

After a while, Paula Rouco, half asleep in his arms, said in a daze, “Let’s go to the hospital later to see Susana, who must be having a hard time with her new baby.”

Severo Laris replied, “Fine.”

…

In the morning, Severo Laris prepared a simple breakfast and, after having breakfast with Paula Rouco, went to the hospital where Susana was.

When we arrived at the ward, the Rufio family was not there, nor was Rufio, there was only a nanny.

Susana lay weakly in her hospital bed, her face haggard from a recent normal delivery.

As soon as Paula Rouco enters, she asks, “Where’s Rufio?”

Said Susana contemptuously as she lay on the bed, “The Rufio family has gone to see their grandson, damn it, leaving me here alone, when I can move and jump, I’ll kill that bastard Rufio!”

Paula Rouco walked over, sat down on the chair next to the bed and asked, “Are you in pain?”

Susana cried to Paula Rouco and said, “It hurts like hell, I still ate better and more during pregnancy, and that brat is getting fatter, so I’m having a meltdown, almost halfway through I want to tell the doctor I’m going to do a C-section!”

Not long after, Rufio returned.

As soon as he saw Severo Laris and Paula Rouco arrive, he cheerfully told them, “Hey, as godparents of the baby, do you guys want to come see our fatty?”

Severo Laris threw out a direct phrase: “Look at your wife first.”

Susana, visibly angry, said, “Rufio, it’s okay for your parents to rush to see their grandchildren, even you do it, am I your wife or not, am I more important or is the child more important?”

Rufio was so happy that he rushed to check on Susanna, “Wow, I’m not very happy, am I? Honey, would you like an apple while I peel it for you?”.

Susanna gave him a dirty look and was unkind, “I just had a baby and I don’t want to eat anything cold.”

Rufio hurriedly pulled out his phone and said, “Then I’ll order you a hot porridge.”

Susanna: “Who wants takeout?”

Rufio resigned himself to his fate, “Honey, don’t be mad, I’m staying with you all day today, I’m not going anywhere.”

Rufio took Susanna’s hand and squeezed it. Susanna was not really angry, Rufio had been by her side during the delivery, and when she had just given birth, Rufio had been by her side to take care of her, just for a while, and when he saw that she was fine, he could not help but want to go and see the baby, that is a human feeling.

Susana gave him a dirty look and threw her hand at him, “Come on, come on, stop being pretentious, Severo and Paulita are here, why don’t you pour them a glass of water?”.

It was then that Rufio remembered, “I’m still very happy.”

Severo Laris said, “Don’t bother with the water, we are alone, no need to be formal.”
