These days, Adán Rouco leaves early and comes home early, as he has two children to take care of at home, and the man who was once a thundering businessman has instantly become a part-time father.
The family has a nanny and a housekeeper, but this little one is too young, just over three months old and still breastfeeding.
Adán Rouco had just put on his tie, unbuttoned his suit and was on his way to the nursery when he heard a loud baby cry.
Adán Rouco frowned slightly, annoyed by the sound of the baby’s crying.
“I stand by it.”
The nanny was stunned, she had been working in this house for two or three months, but normally it was Young Hostess who carried the baby and coaxed him, she had never seen Mr. Adam carry this little one. Could she make the baby’s mother happy?
The nanny handed the baby to Adán Rouco, who, as expected, cried even louder at the sight of her handsome, fierce face.
Adam Rouco’s brow furrowed even more, what was going on, was this Lucius pretending to torment his own father?
“Your mother doesn’t love you anymore, and if you keep crying, I don’t love you either.”
Nanny: “…”
Is this the way to cajole people?
Lucio: “wah wah wah wah wah wah woooo…”
In response to Adán Rouco’s shouts, there were louder ones.
The nanny cautiously suggested: “Mr. Adam, you can’t cajole a baby by scaring him, Lucius is too small, it’s better to hold him, rock him and cajole him like this”.
Adán Rouco did take Paulita, but Paulita was much better than this little girl and Paulita laughed a lot as a child, unlike this little girl who cried all the time.
After half a day of patient cajoling by Adán Rouco, Lucio seems to have calmed down, but soon the scowl that Adán Rouco had opened appears again on his face.
In Adam Rouco’s hand he felt a warmth, and the feeling was not good.
The nanny also saw that something was wrong with Adán Rouco and asked him, “Mr. Adán, what’s wrong?
“The child, apparently, has urinated.”
Nanny: “…”
Adán Rouco’s face is dark.
The nanny rushed to the baby and said, “Mr. Adam, why don’t you go change your clothes while I change the baby’s diaper.”
Adán Rouco, looking a little resourceful as he saw pee everywhere, headed to the bathroom to take a shower and put on some clean house clothes before leaving the bathroom when he heard Felipa’s screams from downstairs.
“Young owner! It’s no good! Paulita has fallen in the bathroom!”
Adán Rouco’s heart stuttered and he came down the stairs at a brisk pace.
In the bathroom, Paulita is wrapped in Felipa’s little pink bathrobe, the little bundle of milk wailing.
Adán Rouco approached and picked up Paulita, who had slipped, “What’s wrong?”.
Felipa stammered, frightened: “This, this…. I don’t know how Paulita got into the shower by herself.”
asked Adán Rouco, as he took Paulita out of the bathroom, “Did you fall somewhere?”.
“Dad, my hand hurts.”
Paulita’s eyes were teary and her mouth was squashed with tears.
Adán Rouco bent down and touched her: “Raise your hand and see if you can move it”.
Paulita obediently raised her two little arms and came out well.
Adán Rouco was relieved, and after taking Paulita to her room, he couldn’t help but be stern: “Why don’t you ask Felipa to help you with the bathroom, and don’t run to the bathroom by yourself again, you hear?”
Paulita wiped her tears with her little hand and said, “I saw daddy coaxing my brother and Felipa was cooking, so I thought I’d wash him, and Estrella wasn’t there.
Adán Rouco sighed and raised a hand to pinch his brow bone, educating Paulita with a flourish, “But now that Estrella is not home, you have to tell Papa, or Felipa, first whatever you do. ”
Perhaps her voice was a bit harsh, Paulita tensed her little neck and cried even harder, wiping her tears with her little hands as she got out of bed, dragging her little school bag, and whining, “As soon as Estrella leaves, Daddy is bad again! I want to run away from home … woo. woo, woo, woo…”
Adam Rouco sat on the edge of Paulita’s tiny, pink-decorated bed, his dark eyes riveted on the little girl. “Go away, I won’t stop you, don’t come home when you’re hungry outside.”
“…”
Paulita looked at Adán Rouco with two big red eyes and a puffy little mouth and a milky, fierce gaze.
“Dad, you’re a bully!”
“Wasn’t it you who said you were going to run away from home? How did I become a stalker of you?”
Paulita was furious, clutching her little school bag and sitting impishly on the floor in her little pink bathrobe.
Adán Rouco looked at her, “Aren’t you going?”.
“Hmm.”
The little girl seemed to want to save face and climbed back on, dragging her little piggy bank bag, and left the bedroom, “I’m catching a plane to Estrella!”.
Adam Rouco stared at the small, short, lithe figure and his irritation suddenly dissipated into amusement.
Paulita hid in front of her bedroom door, with her little body behind the wall, peeked out at Adán Rouco and deliberately said in a little voice, “I’m really going to run away from home!”
Adán Rouco deliberately did not answer.
Paulita hummed softly, pursed her lips, wrinkled her brow and repeatedly reminded herself, “People are really angry! I really have to go! Don’t be sorry if daddy doesn’t find me later!”.
Not wanting to tease her anymore, Adam Rouco stood up and walked over to her, looking down at the adorable little bundle of milk at her feet, who was sitting against the wall, her little arms wrapped around his chest in exasperation, with the sympathetic look of a pissed off kitten.
“Why isn’t the kitten running yet?”
Adán Rouco lightly touched Paulita’s small body with his foot, in a deliberate attempt to scare her away.
Paulita clutched her little arms, growled loudly and pouted, “Hmph! I don’t want to go! I’m not a kitty! I’m a cutie!”
Adán Rouco: “…”
Oh, you’re only a few years old and you’re already being cute and spoiled.
Seeing that Adán Rouco’s face was not so cold, Paulita, who is also a master at judging the situation, put her two little hands around Adán Rouco’s thighs, tilted her little face and said in a milky voice: “Daddy, don’t misbehave with her anymore, or I’m really going to run away from home!”
Adán Rouco also admitted that he had become a bit serious with the little girl a moment ago, and he squatted down and took Paulita in his arms: “Okay, from now on daddy will not behave badly with you, but you have to behave well, especially not to do dangerous things, you are still too little to go to the bathroom alone, what if you fall on your arms and legs in the bathroom? Not only will daddy worry, but grandpa will throw daddy in daddy’s face for not taking care of Paulita. ”
Paulita squashed her little mouth and said meekly, “Daddy I’m not going to sneak out alone to take a bath later.”
“Well, do as you’re told.”
Paulita threw her arms around Adán Rouco’s neck: “Dad, is my brother asleep?
“The nanny has finished changing his diaper and he should be asleep.”
“Dad, when is Estrella coming back, let’s call her! We’ll just tell him that his brother is always crying and we can’t convince him to bring Estrella back.”
Paulita proposed it and Adán Rouco was shamelessly impressed.
