Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Half a month later, Paula Rouco ran into Engracia while shopping at Galeries Lafayette.

Lastra and Engracia shop for wedding accessories at Galeries Lafayette.

Lastra went over first to say hello and asked, “Paulita, alone, why didn’t you ask Senor Severo to accompany you?”

Paula Rouco said, “It’s not the end of Saturday, he’s not off, Severo Laris is not on vacation, why is Lastra on vacation, is he absent from work on a weekday?”

Lastra has been working for Severo Laris as CFO of MO Group for almost a year.

Lastra smiled, looked at Engracia who was not far away and said, “I’m getting married, aren’t I? Mr. Severo has given me a leave of absence to prepare the wedding.”

“You are getting married, eh?”

Lastra said, “Yes, I’ve been dating for most of the year and I’ve met the parents, so I’m ready to get married.”

Engracia reached over, took Lastra’s arm and suggested, “Since we happened to meet, why don’t we have lunch together?”

Paula Rouco didn’t refuse, following the pair of Lastra and Engracia, who were definitely rubbing it in.

I happened to be alone and not eating.

I chose a steakhouse, Paula Rouco hadn’t had a steak in a while and she was craving this.

She ordered the Filet Mignon.

While waiting for the food, Lastra went to the bathroom and Engracia and Paula Rouco were the only ones left at the table.

Engracia took the wedding invitation out of her purse and said, “Since I ran into her, I’m giving you the wedding invitation now, I’m marrying Lastra and you’re coming with Severo Laris. ”

Engracia hands Paula Rouco a wedding invitation generously designed in red.

Paula Rouco took it and nonchalantly asked, “You really like Lastra?”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Engracia was stunned, not expecting her to ask this question.

Paula Rouco: “Do you doubt? Is it a dislike?”

Engracia looked at her with a childish look and shook her head smiling. “No, it’s just that I feel a little uncomfortable with you, Paula Rouco, always living in your own world and not caring about other people’s business and suddenly asking about me and Lastra. ”

“Can’t I ask, Lastra is a good friend of Severo Laris anyway, shouldn’t I worry about him?”

Engracia smiled slightly, took a sip of lemonade and said, “You should.”

“You haven’t answered me whether you like Lastra or not. ”

Engracia looked at her sharply and said, “Don’t worry, I lost interest in Severo Laris a long time ago, the person I like now is indeed Lastra. ”

Paula Rouco pouted and said, “I’m not afraid that you still lust after Severo Laris, I didn’t think of you as my love interest or rival when you used to lust after Severo Laris. It’s just that Lastra seems quite nice to me, and it would be very bad for Lastra if you didn’t like him and stayed married to him. ”

Engracia couldn’t help but chuckle under her breath, “Paula Rouco, you know how sometimes you talk in a really offensive, underhanded way?”

Paula Rouco bottled her juice through a straw, took a couple of sips and let out an “ooh.”

Engracia shook her head and said, “Paula Rouco, aren’t you at all curious as to when I died with Severo Laris?”

Paula Rouco said, “If you want to talk, I’m willing to listen. But the matter has nothing to do with Severo Laris, whether or not you are dead to him. ”

Heh.

With the face of an angel, she speaks with her usual venom.

Engracia asked rhetorically, “Didn’t you ever think that some woman could take Severo Laris away from you, Paula Rouco?”

“Yes.”

Engracia said, “I had such an opportunity seven years ago, but my education and my dignity would not allow it.”

Paula Rouco: “When?”

Engracia smiled slightly and said, “You and Severo Laris broke up for good, you took a break from school and went back to La Ciudad Santa to recuperate, and Severo Laris was often home alone at that time, drunk and unconscious, and I used to go to the Imperial neighborhood at that time, and I had several opportunities to sleep with him while he was delirious and make him responsible for me. If I had done that then, probably you, Paula Rouco, would never have loved Severo Laris as a man again. ”

“But if you really take advantage of someone to do something so low, even if Severo Laris and I are really finished, you are finished too, Severo Laris doesn’t love you at all, and even if he marries you, you will still be a widow, and then you will not only be destroying Severo Laris and me, but you will also be destroying your own happiness for life for the rest of your life.”

Engracia said, “You’re right, I just thought of all the consequences, so my sanity kept me awake.”

Paula Rouco said, “You have always been an intelligent person, who never does anything to hurt anyone. You know Severo Laris doesn’t like you at all, so you don’t waste your time with him either. ”

Engracia smiled mockingly, “You think I’m too sensible, when you were separated from Severo Laris for seven years, Severo Laris was working alone in New York, I flew to New York many times to look for him, even if we didn’t talk about our feelings, I thought it was good for us to talk about work and finances. I thought that even if I couldn’t get over you for a while, I could be Engracia, I was like Severo Laris, I was always with him, I would talk to him about work, even if I couldn’t be a confidant, at least I was a confidant, and as time went by, he knew it was no longer possible with you, so little by little he would start a new relationship. But I … underestimated his obsession with you in the end, and I found out later that everything he had worked for in New York was because of you.”

“Paula Rouco, you are like a tattoo engraved on his heart. Once I wanted to put aside my dignity and go after him, I thought, you Paula Rouco didn’t make it by bothering him, if you could, why couldn’t I? When I’m with him, he always talks about work, the international financial situation and venture capital, but he doesn’t know that sometimes I want to talk to him about life, even if it’s about you.”

“If he had contacted me to mention you and talk about you, it would mean that maybe he was willing to slowly come to grips with the feelings you have had in the past, but Severo Laris has never gotten over your relationship.”

“Paula Rouco, I know you are good, you are from a good family, you are intelligent and quite pretty, but your personality is not good at all, you are willful, clingy and immature, you are always picking on Severo Laris, I have always thought that you are not at all right for Severo Laris, and I even think that after you marry Severo Laris it won’t be long before you find out that your personalities do not match and you will divorce.”

Paula Rouco was not impressed, “But what you call my faults, those are not faults in Severo Laris’ eyes. ”

“Yes, in Severo Laris’ eyes, your capriciousness, your clinginess and your arrogance are good things, he likes you just the way you are, and sometimes I console myself that it is Severo Laris’ short-sightedness and his penchant for making a fool of himself that makes him choose a girl like you.”

Paula Rouco: “It is you who says that I speak without knowing, you speak without knowing.”

“Am I not telling the truth, Paula Rouco, and don’t you dare say that you are not willful, arrogant or clingy?”.

Paula Rouco: “Severo Laris says I can always be willful, he likes me to be willful like a child, and as for being arrogant, he is spoiled, and as for being clingy, he clings to me if I don’t cling to him.”

Engracia scoffed lightly, “So I lost, I was not as good as you Paula Rouco, I lost because of Severo Laris’s liking and pampering of you Paula Rouco, Paula Rouco, I really hope, in your future married life with Severo Laris, you feel the crisis.”

Paula Rouco rambled, “It was probably when Severo Laris died before me.”

Engracia: … You win.
