Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Estrella Berrocal was first stunned when Paula Rouco said she didn’t want to have children.

Estrella Berrocal thought she was being childish, that she was afraid having a baby would hurt her, or that she wasn’t ready to be a mother.

So she told me, “Paulita, actually giving birth is not as painful as you think, it will pass in a while. When I had you, it was my first child, a normal birth, and yes it did hurt a little during labor, but it passed quickly after I endured it.”

Paula Rouco shook her head and said, “It’s not that I’m afraid of pain. Estrella, Severo Laris and I have agreed that we don’t want a baby.”From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why?”

Estrella Berrocal didn’t expect Severo Laris to also agree to Paula Rouco not having children.

Paula Rouco grabbed the towel and absently wiped the ends of her still damp hair as she said, “I like being alone with Severo Laris, I don’t want children, I don’t want to raise them, I don’t want them to cause my relationship with Severo Laris to fade or turn from love to bonded affection. I don’t want children to cause my relationship with Severo Laris to fade or turn from love to bonded affection.”

Estrella Berrocal does not deny that what Paula Rouco says is true, “But most men, at Severo Laris’ age, have children who will play with the sauce, and you really wouldn’t feel sorry for them if you didn’t want to have children between you…..” I just hope you and Severo Laris think about it, I’m afraid you’ll regret it later.”

Paula Rouco looked at her firmly and said, “Estrella, maybe if I told other people that Severo Laris and I were not going to have children, they might think I was being hasty and making a decision just to be happy at the moment, but it is something I have thought about very well, before saying anything to Severo Laris. I have thought about it a lot before telling Severo Laris, because I was a little worried that Severo Laris would want to have children. But Severo Laris said that he and I don’t need to have children to be together and that we can grow old together for the rest of our lives.”

“Severo Laris…” Estrella Berrocal smiled broadly, “Paulita, you have a very good eye, I once asked you if you thought Severo Laris was even better than your father, and now it seems the answer, in your mind, is yes.”

Severo Laris is the person in the world who knows me best, and in my heart, Severo Laris is the best, without a doubt,” said Paula Rouco. ”

Estrella Berrocal looked at her with a twelvefold confidence, and her brow finally clouded with a soft smile, “Now I also know that Severo Laris is better than I thought, I don’t need to observe him in person, just by your tone and attitude, I know that Severo Laris is really good to you. ”

“I don’t care what other couples in the world are like, maybe they like to have children, or reproduce to keep their marriage together, and eventually it turns from love to bound affection. But I don’t want that. I want to be the only one in Severo Laris’ eyes and heart, and I want to have Severo Laris’ undivided attention and affection. I’m not generous enough to put up with a father who favors the child of his eyes and heart, and that would make me feel unhappy and that he doesn’t love me.”

“More than that, I don’t want the relationship between Severo Laris and me to be watered down to what life should be like for fags and coffee and children. How marriage and having children should be, they like it, let them go that way, I don’t want it.”

“Those people who say I’m childish or chiquillo, that I don’t like responsibility or that I’m selfish, I don’t know them, I don’t care what they think, I just want to live my life with Severo Laris. ”

“As long as Severo Laris and I agree, it’s none of our business what those people think or do.”

Estrella Berrocal sighed softly, reached up and touched his cheek and hair, and said affectionately, “Maybe having children isn’t really your thing, and you and Severo Laris don’t really need a child to keep your marriage together. As long as you and Severo Laris agree, your father and I have no problem. However, your father doesn’t know yet, and if he did, he might be happy.”

“Happy?”

“You are the daughter he grew up with in the palm of his hand, how could he want you to suffer the pain of having a child.”

Paula Rouco took Estrella Berrocal’s hand and said, “Estrella, before I told you, I didn’t really want your understanding and compassion, I thought that you, as a mother of two children, would not understand my thoughts like that and would even consider me childish and ignorant. ”

Estrella Berrocal said, “Paulita, do you know how many girls would envy you?”

“They just didn’t have the courage to do it and I, for one, don’t care what others think, I just want me and Severo Laris to be happy.”

Estrella Berrocal looked at her reckless and flawless appearance and said, “You were so well protected by The Rouco family since you were a child, you didn’t experience any setbacks, your grandfather, your father, gave you enough strength and courage as a child, even if you later fell hard in the relationship with Severo Laris in college, but that was a misunderstanding after all. Severo Laris loved you as if his life depended on it, and for seven years he loved you as much as ever, and even more in the years to come, a blessing that many women seek all their lives and do not find.”

“So you have no scruples, you are even reckless, all you want is to be happy, sometimes without thinking anyone’s thoughts, just follow what you feel and think inside as you do, a kind of transcendence, ordinary people, they can’t do what you do, so you have to compromise.”

Paula Rouco frowned a little and asked, “Estrella, do you find it a compromise to marry my father and give him children as well?”

“Of course not, I’m not as lucky as you, but at least I’m married to the man I love, and giving birth to your father is something I did of my own free will. Although I recovered well after the birth, I have some postnatal physical discomfort, but when your father takes care of me and loves me, he will make me feel that this suffering I have not endured in vain.

“Just as you would feel happy if you married Severo Laris, I feel the same way when I marry your father. It’s just that I believe that with a son, your father and I will have a stronger bond and this family will be happier.”

“But you and Severo Laris don’t want to add a person to your married life to disrupt the rhythm, nor do you need a child to maintain the relationship. paulita, you are the ideal for many people because you dare to love and hate, and I hope my paulita, you never act like a frustrated adult in front of irrelevant people and a mess of life bowing down.”

“And you don’t have to bow down to anyone, you just have to be happy, and as for the mess and trivialities of life, it’s not just Severo Laris who will take care of it for you, your grandfather, your father, they will all take care of it for you.”

On the other side of the bedroom door, Severo Laris is standing in the doorway.

After overhearing the conversation between his mother and daughter, his thin lips curved and he made his way to the guest room.
