Early the next morning, Adán Rouco was relieved after all and allowed Estrella Berrocal to go to Ciudad del Rey to see Mrs. Vasconcellos.
The only thing is that Adán Rouco had to “escort” Estrella Berrocal to Ciudad del Rey, where she would spend the night before flying back to La Ciudad Santa the next day for work.
It was a little after six o’clock in the evening when we arrived at the Vasconcellos family’s villa.
As soon as Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal entered, Mrs. Vasconcellos headed for the house.
“Estrella, why didn’t you tell me you were coming to Ciudad del Rey so I could ask your brother to pick you up at the airport.”
Estrella Berrocal looked at Adán Rouco and said with a slight smile, “I wanted to surprise you, Adán has work, he is only leaving me today and will return to La Ciudad Santa in the morning.”
Mrs. Vasconcellos froze and patted Adán Rouco’s arm with some sincere concern, “Hard work little Adán, come on, put your bags down, wash your hands and come to dinner”.
Once seated, Estrella Berrocal did not see Ciri Garzón and asked nonchalantly: “Brother, where is Ciri?
Andreo Fanta’s face sank for a second and he said, “He’s gone to live at the school.”
“School? Is Ciri going to school again?”
Andreo Fanta emitted a faint “hmm” and said, “He hasn’t finished classes.”
When Mrs. Vasconcellos saw that her son was not in a good mood at the mention of Ciri Garzón, she changed the subject and asked Adán Rouco with a smile, “Fu, if you are so busy with your work and can’t go out, why don’t you ask Yanyan Shen to send someone to pick up Estrella, you will have to go back to work in the morning, your schedule is too tight and you won’t be able to handle it. It’s okay.
“It’s okay, I’m not comfortable with Estrella coming alone.”
Estrella Berrocal gave her a loving look and said, “Mom, it’s okay.”
…
In the evening, Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal shared a room, which Mrs. Vasconcellos had specially prepared.
Estrella Berrocal came over in her pajamas after showering.
“Adam, what time are you leaving in the morning?”.
Adán Rouco grabs her arm and pulls her to sit on his lap: “You want to throw me out that badly?
Estrella Berrocal throws her arms around his neck and moves her legs, smiling, “I’m staying in Ciudad del Rey for a while longer, Mrs. Vasconcellos is recovering from a serious illness and I want to spend more time with her, you go home and work hard and take care of Paulita, ok? ”
I don’t usually see her pouting, but now she is.
Adam Rouco grunted slightly and raised an eyebrow at the sight of the large suitcase in the room. “You’ve packed a lot, I didn’t expect you to stay in Ciudad del Rey for just a few days.”
Estrella Berrocal laughed softly and looked at him with teary eyes. “Are you angry?”
Adán Rouco took a deep breath, brushed his forehead against hers, rubbed the tip of his small nose and sighed, “For how long?”
“Half a month?”
“One week.”
“… Ten days?”
“Three days.
Estrella Berrocal murmured: “Why do you keep saying less and less!
Adam Rouco growled coldly and led her to the bed, untying the tie around her neck. “One week, no more, any more bargaining and tomorrow you will be taken captive back to The Holy City.”
“¡… bandits!”
Estrella Berrocal picked up the tie he had taken off and slipped it on, the man had turned around and gone into the bathroom to take a shower.
…
In the middle of the night, in a blur, Estrella Berrocal felt someone undressing her.
She crooned in confusion, her small hands pushing the man on top of her.
“So asleep … no more…”
Besides, I was pregnant and couldn’t do that.
The man lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying gently, “You sleep, I won’t move you.”
Estrella Berrocal let out an “mmm” and went back to sleep, not really looking at what he was doing.
…
Adán Rouco, with the sleeping woman in his arms, flipped through the encrypted albums on his phone, satisfied.
All men have a bit of bad taste, and so does Adán Rouco.
He would be lonely if he didn’t have something to remind him, especially if he was going to be separated from his little wife for a week.
…
The next morning, after breakfast, Adán Rouco had to return to the Holy City.
Andreo Fanta sent a driver to take him to the airport, and Estrella Berrocal, naturally, followed him there.
At the airport, Adán Rouco gave him a hug and said, “Call me.”
Estrella Berrocal nodded and said sweetly, “I videotape you, and when you return to La Ciudad Santa, remember to eat on time, even if you are busy with work.”
Adam Rouco’s large hand, touching her lower back, said, “Take care of yourself and take care of the baby.”
Estrella Berrocal grabbed his arm and looked at the time on her wristwatch, it was almost time to board. “Come in.”
Adán Rouco did not go, he bent down and tapped his thin lips with his finger.
Estrella Berrocal looked around and wrapped her arms around his neck, dropping a quick kiss on his thin lips, her ears slightly flushed.
Suddenly remembering the night before, she asked, a little embarrassed, “By the way, what were you doing up in the middle of the night last night?”
“Secrets.
Adán Rouco held the back of her neck and kissed her forehead and the bridge of her nose. “I’m leaving.”
Estrella Berrocal saw him enter the terminal before leaving.
Driver. who was driving, asked Estrella Berrocal: “Are you going home, Miss? Or do you want to hang out in Ciudad del Rey?”.
A WhatsApp message appeared on Estrella Berrocal’s phone from Ciri Garzón.
“Star, are you here in Ciudad del Rey? I’m at the King City Media Institute, do you want to come hang out with me?”.
Estrella Berrocal, thinking it had been a long time since she had seen Ciri Garzón, told the driver, “Go find Ciri, Ciudad del Rey Media Academy, you know where she is, don’t you?”.
The driver smiled and said, “Yes, I know, the last time Miss Ciri went to school, I took her there, I know which dormitory building Miss Ciri is in.”
“That’s good.”
…
The Holy City, People’s Hospital.
Dulcina Calvo hesitated for a long time before deciding to give up her leadership.
It was no longer possible for her to pretend to work with Esteban Zaragosa as if nothing had happened, after the mess she had made with him.
Although Esteban Zaragosa was now in Italy on business, he would return later, and when he came back … she could quit now and go.
I had spent the last two days thinking long and hard about it, and I needed to get back to Ciudad de Ronda for a while.
The Esteban Zaragosa affair had affected him greatly.
When Dulcina Calvo handed her letter of resignation to the director, he was very confused.
“Dulcina, you just arrived at our hospital to do your internship, your school has recommended you a place, and you are working with the best doctor Esteban in our hospital, besides you are his trainee, he never accepts students, why all of a sudden …. do you want to quit?”
“Leader, I have thought about it, my family is not from the city, working in the city costs me a lot, my salary cannot support my expenses, so I plan to go back home to work in the resident physician position.”
Dulcina Calvo was rambling, but it was true. The leader didn’t think much of it, but said in a serious voice, “You should think it over, you have a good chance.”
“Leader, I thought about it.”
“Very well then, I will sign this letter of resignation.”
Dulcina Calvo left the director’s office with a huge sigh of relief at not having to see Esteban Zaragosa again, but why, at the same time, did her chest ache with relief?
He took his phone out of his robe pocket, looked at Esteban Zaragosa’s WhatsApp number and deleted it, and in his determination not to contact him again, he crossed out his phone number.
In this way … I would no longer have contact with a married man.
If her parents knew she had been entangled with a married man for so long, they would have beaten her to death.
