Adán Rouco took her to bed, leaned over and kissed her on the lips, confusing Estrella Berrocal.
“It doesn’t matter what the internet says, what matters is that we have a century-old marriage certificate.”
Estrella Berrocal was surprised, but trusted Adán Rouco: “Really? Really, there is an official word on the internet that says it is a rumor”.
“Really, it’s puppyish to lie to you.”
“… Okay.”
After the shower, it was time to lie down on the bed and sleep.
Estrella Berrocal snuggled into Adán Rouco’s arms and murmured, “Honey, they say they envy me.”
“They?” Adam Rouco frowned slightly.
“Well, the internet friends. They have also guessed that our daughter’s name is Paulita.”
Adán Rouco laughed lightly, rubbed his hair and said, “You tweeted a name so obvious that anyone could have guessed it.”
“And the internet has told us to show more love, that they want to see it.”
“Understood, Mrs. Rouco. Go show love when you can.”
The man’s tone was affectionate and Estrella Berrocal looked at him with a sweet smile, arched her eyebrows and gave a heavy “mmm”.
“We were also approached to go on a couples reality show.”
Adán Rouco frowned slightly: “I don’t like to expose my private life to the public”.
“Well of course I know you don’t like it, I was just saying that.”
“Go to sleep, in the morning we have a flight back to The Holy City.”
“Good night, sweetheart.”
…
The next day, after a ten-hour flight, Estrella Berrocal arrived in the Holy City with plenty of air and slept in the arms of Adán Rouco for a long time, without waking up until she got home.
At the airport she bought chocolates and toys for Paulita and Dante, and Estrella Berrocal took them and gave them to the children.
“Do you like it?”
Paulita opened her arms around Estrella Berrocal and said in a little voice: “She has given Paulita everything and Paulita loves it!”.
Estrella Berrocal smiled softly and kissed the little girl on the cheek.
Dante received the chocolates and Transformers and said with a bit of adult gratitude, “Thank you, Auntie.”
“You’re welcome.” Estrella Berrocal rubbed Dante’s little head.
Just then Olivia Montes came out of the room with a cold face, “Dante, come here.”
Dante approached with his gift in his arms, but Olivia Montes pushed away Estrella Berrocal’s gift for Dante, saying, “Too much chocolate is bad, and too many toys can be demoralizing.”
Dante bit his little mouth, a bit aggrieved, but quiet.
Estrella Berrocal said, “Sister-in-law, children are still very young, it’s okay to play with toys once in a while, and even better to eat chocolate, it’s not like they eat it every day.”
Olivia Montes was ungrateful: “My son is in my hands, I don’t need you to play nice”.
Paulita, on the other side, had already opened the box of chocolates and took two with her little hands and put them in her mouth, her little teeth blackened as she ate them and her smile was especially cute.
Paulita said to Olivia Montes with a slight frown, “Auntie, the chocolates Estrella bought are delicious, let your brother eat one!”.
Paulita took a piece of chocolate with her little hand and gave it to Dante, winking at him, who stared at it, swallowing and wanting to eat it.
As a result, Olivia Montes pulled Dante aside and lectured him coldly and stiffly, “You are the eldest son of the Fu family, how can you be so weak?”
Paulita smiled with her small, dark mouth as she ate and tilted her little face to ask, “Why can’t the oldest son eat chocolate? What is an oldest son?”
Olivia Montes froze at the question.
Estrella Berrocal almost burst out laughing.
Paulita, still frowning, said innocently, “Eat, brother, the chocolate is melting, it won’t taste good anymore!”.
Paulita was not afraid of Olivia Montes and raised her little hand.
Dante hesitantly picked it up, only to be scolded by Olivia Montes: “Dante Rouco!”
Adán Rouco happened to come down from the floor above.
“Why are you being mean to the child?”
Olivia Montes choked, blackened her face and said nothing.
Paulita pursed her lips and said, “Papa, why can’t the oldest son have chocolate?”
Adán Rouco laughed and said, “No chocolate for the firstborn? Who said that?”
“Auntie said so! Auntie says that brother is the eldest son and can’t eat chocolate!”
Adán Rouco rubbed Paulita’s little head: “Of course the eldest son can eat chocolate, not only the eldest son, everyone can eat it”.
Paulita raised her little hand again and handed it to Dante Rouco: “Brother, daddy said you can eat chocolate!”.
Dante Rouco looked at Olivia Montes, who, despite her frown, did not dare to say anything else.
Dante Rouco took the chocolate and put it in his mouth.
Paulita smiled and asked, “Brother, aren’t the chocolates that Estrella bought very good?”.
“Yummy!” Dante smiled back.
Paulita pulled Dante to the side and the two played at eating chocolate with black teeth, “Brother my teeth are all black!”.
“Hahahahahahahaha mine are black too!”.
…
In the evening, Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal went to sleep.
Estrella Berrocal thought about that incident of the day and felt increasingly uncomfortable.
“I don’t think it’s that my sister-in-law won’t let Dante eat chocolate at all, she just can’t stand me and doesn’t want Dante to get presents from me, but it’s okay that she can’t stand me and treats Dante like that, Dante is much more introverted than Paulita, it’s not good for a child to be too introverted.”
Adán Rouco said lightly, “It’s not like it’s been like this for a day or two.”
“But we live under the same roof, and I don’t like her being like this, tell me, you are married to me, and we have children, how come she is still not happy with you?”.
Adam Rouco stroked her hair and said, “Now you are pregnant, if we move back to The Villas at Repulse Bay, I won’t be able to help you with many things because I don’t see, and I don’t trust the people I hire outside, here, Felipa can cook you nutritious meals, and it’s easy to take care of you. ”
Estrella Berrocal said, “It’s not that I’m afraid to get along with her, it’s that I can’t stand how she treats Dante, and since she goes to work during the day and you come back at night, now she and I don’t get along, so it’s not that we fight. ”
“If big brother hadn’t left.” Estrella Berrocal sighed as she threw herself into his arms.
Adán Rouco laughed lightly: “What do you mean?”.
“If big brother hadn’t left, how dare he put his attention on you? No, I’ll have to find a way to cut it off for good tomorrow.”
“What’s it all about?”
Estrella Berrocal gave him a blushing look, pulled the covers over herself and said in a breathy voice, “To show her love, together?”
Adam Rouco’s eyes darkened and he slipped under the sheets, “I’d rather do the other thing with you right now.”
“… you scoundrel!”
“Together? Hmm?”
“…”
It has to be together!
…
The next day, at breakfast, the family was complete.
Paulita took her spoon and ate the bowl of infant cereal soaked in milk, filling her mouth with paste and looking at Estrella Berrocal with a disgusted look on her face.
Estrella Berrocal was a little disgusted: “Eh~ Why does Paulita always eat like that?”.
With that, he wiped his mouth with a tissue.
Paulita smeared her mouth again and kissed Estrella Berrocal on purpose, she smeared Estrella Berrocal’s face, Estrella Berrocal cried and laughed.
“Estarina you’re dirty too!”.
The little girl laughed delightedly next door.
Estrella Berrocal peeled her eggs: “The usual, you eat the whites and I eat the yolks…”.
Paulita made a puzzled gesture and said lazily, “The usual!”.
Dante felt a little envious and said to Olivia Montes: “Mom, I don’t want the yolk either.”
“Kids shouldn’t be picky eaters.”
Dante was a little lost, feeling that his mother, didn’t like him as much as Aunt Estrella liked Paulita.
