Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

The next morning, Severo Laris rose early as usual.

Even though he is in The Rouco Family, Severo Laris’ habit of making breakfast for Paula Rouco remains the same.

Estrella Berrocal got up early to prepare a simple breakfast for the family, but no sooner had she arrived at the kitchen door than she saw Severo Laris standing at the stove, white shirt rolled up, frying eggs with ease.

The image is surprisingly harmonious.

Estrella Berrocal smiled, “Good morning, Severo. ”

Severo Laris: “Good morning.”

Estrella Berrocal went over to help, but Severo Laris said, “I’ll be fine here, you can go out.”

“Looks like Paulita won’t have to worry the least bit about her mouth after marrying you.”

Estrella Berrocal said as she looked at the perfectly fried spaetzle in the pan.

Severo Laris had a slight smile on his face and his voice was clear: “I’m not exactly an expert cook, I make things up as I go along.”

“Modest.”

After Estrella Berrocal poured herself a glass of water and took a few sips, she still couldn’t resist asking a few questions, “Last night I had a talk with Paulita and she told me you weren’t going to have children, what do you think?”

As Severo Laris prepared his sandwich, he said, “With a child, my energy would be diverted to him and I might not be able to fully deal with his feelings, in which case I would feel that I am not giving him the best relationship and marriage. In this life, I want to spoil Mrs. Laris enough first, and everything else, everything else, will have to fall by the wayside.”

A light shone in Estrella Berrocal’s eyes.

Although she was married to Adam Rouco, and although Adam Rouco adored her, Estrella Berrocal knew for the first time that it was possible to adore someone so domineeringly, so unprincipled and so uncritically, that it was possible to adore him to the bone.

In Severo Laris’ world, the most important thing is to pamper Paula Rouco, while other things, although important to ordinary people, seem trivial to Severo Laris.

…

Christmas Eve.

It was the first Christmas Eve after the new marriage of Severo Laris and Paula Rouco.

Paula Rouco did not spend New Year’s Eve at The Rouco Family, and with Severo Laris she only had lunch at The Rouco Family at noon and returned to Villa Moon Lake Road in the afternoon.

Two days ago, Severo Laris and Paula Rouco went into town together and picked up Modeste at Villa Moon Lake Road.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

When the two returned from lunch at The Rouco Family, Modeste was sitting at the table, wrapping meatballs.

Paula Rouco walked in and saw him, washed her hands and ran to knead the dough for fun.

Severo Laris also washed his hands and wrapped the meatballs.

Paula Rouco’s meatballs were so ugly and pretty that Modeste couldn’t help but laugh at them.

Modeste hollowed out one of her meatballs and scoffed, “It looks like Paulita’s meatballs, you’ll have to pick them up later Severo. ”

Paula Rouco smacked her head, “It’s so ugly I’ve decided to eat it myself.”

Modeste laughed: “It’s not a work of art, it can’t taste bad even if it’s wrapped ugly, it all tastes the same.”

Severo Laris’ cell phone rings, a call from work.

Paula Rouco and Modeste wrap meatballs at the table while Severo Laris wipes his hands and goes out to the balcony to talk about work, glancing from time to time at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at the table.

There was a lot of talking and laughing and the image was very comforting.

Soon after, Paula Rouco came running over with dirty hands and reached out to wipe the flour off Severo Laris’ face.

Severo Laris, cell phone in hand as he calls for work, looks at her with indulgence and affection, frowning slightly, before squeezing Paula Rouco’s small wrist with one hand and wiping a bit of flour on the tip of his own nose.

Paula Rouco snuggled into Severo Laris’ arms and rubbed the flour on the tip of her nose between her arms.

Severo Laris put his arm around her and looked at her in amusement as he continued to talk to the person on the phone about his work.

Through the floor-to-ceiling balcony door, Modeste looks over her shoulder, her eyes tinged with a soft, loving smile.

In the evening, the family held a New Year’s Eve dinner.

Modeste gave Paula Rouco a red envelope to put under her pillow at night.

After the Chinese New Year dinner and watching the Chinese New Year Gala, Modeste drank some red wine in the evening and, somewhat tipsy and sleepy at an advanced age, went to bed in the bedroom downstairs, with Paula Rouco in Severo Laris’ arms, and the two of them sitting in the living room watching TV and celebrating the New Year.

Paula Rouco said, “It’s the first Christmas Eve we’ve spent together. ”

Severo Laris kissed her forehead and said in a low, soft voice, “I’ll be with you for years.”

“Well, Severo, you know, even if it’s like this watching the boring Chinese New Year Gala with you, I’m happy too.”

“Me too.”

“Severo, I’m hungry.”

Severo Laris lifted her up, “Go eat the dumplings you made.”

Paula Rouco: “I want to eat the meatballs you made.”

Severo Laris was slightly startled, “Do you recognize the meatballs I made?”.

His meatballs are not ugly, they are more modest and unrecognizable.

Paula Rouco looked at a bamboo apartment of meatballs and pointed with her little finger, “That one, that one, that one …”.

Severo Laris was a little surprised, “Really recognizable?”

Paula Rouco looked up and looked at him innocently, “I saw you put it there when you wrapped it.”

Severo Laris’ heart fluttered slightly as he lifted his wife up and gave her a kiss on the head.

Paula Rouco: “Why kiss me, kissing takes energy away.”

And now she was hungry.

“Mrs. Laris, has anyone ever said that you are very good at teasing people?”.

Paula Rouco shook her head no, no.

And then Paula Rouco, a little girl, wrapped her arms around Severo Laris’ neck, leaned over Severo Laris’ ear and asked, as if whispering, “Do you know why there isn’t any?”

“Hmm?” Quietly waiting for an answer.

Paula Rouco Kids: “Because I don’t make fun of people, I just like to make fun of Severo Laris. ”

Severo Laris bowed his head and gave his little wife another passionate kiss.
