“I’ll ask Santino Yepes to make a trip to the couture store tomorrow. ”
Estrella Berrocal responded faintly, still a little sad.
“What’s the matter, still not happy about having a wedding?”
“No, I just went to deliver the wedding invitations to my sister-in-law today. It seems she still holds a grudge against you, and I was afraid she couldn’t think about it and would be locked into her obsession with you for the rest of her life.”
“Haven’t you always disagreed with her? Why are you worried about her now?”
Estrella Berrocal gave him an expressionless look, “After all, she’s also Dante’s real mother and your sister-in-law, a relationship that can’t be severed in any way, not to mention that Dad has expectations of his sister-in-law, and I certainly want to make peace with her.”
Adam Rouco smiled slightly and took her in his arms, kissing her forehead downward and saying fondly, “Since when is our Star so understanding?”
Estrella Berrocal’s eyelids lifted as she looked at his handsome, ticklish face and took off her robe with her small hands, “I’m not sociable, I’m sociable …. do you want to try it?”
Adán Rouco stared at her little face and quipped, “Are all women who have been pregnant like wolves?”
“…”
Estrella Berrocal was furious: “You’re the one who’s like a tiger! Don’t even bother! I don’t want to serve you.”
She wrapped herself in the blanket angrily, only to be retrieved by Adán Rouco: “Mrs. Estrella, don’t you even blush now when you talk about important things, when I am not the one who attends to you in those matters?”
“… don’t say it.”
Estrella Berrocal raised her hand to cover her thin lips, only for the man to pull away, take her small face and kiss her …
…
The night before the wedding, Mr. Rouco and Mrs. Vasconcellos separated the two Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal.
For the wedding, Andreo Fanta also bought a luxury apartment in La Ciudad Santa, so that Estrella Berrocal could get married from “home”.
Dulcina Calvo and Ciri Garzón were Estrella Berrocal’s bridesmaids, so they slept directly on the floor the night before.
Estrella Berrocal was watched by five or six people, Mrs. Vasconcellos, Andreo Fanta, Ciri Garzón, Dulcina Calvo, Claudio Belles, they were all there.
When Adán Rouco called, she glanced around the room and explained, “That must be Lucio crying at home.”
Ciri Garzón put her arm around Estrella Berrocal’s neck: “Come on, you must be calling at this hour because Adán Rouco can’t sleep because he misses you”.
Estrella Berrocal blushed: “No, Paulita and Lucio cannot live without me, and they will cry when I am suddenly not at home”.
Claudio Belles laughs and throws out his lie: “Lucio I don’t know whether to cry or not, anyway Angelo was playing with Paulita tonight and just now Angelo sent me a video of Paulita having a great time, not at all like she was looking for her mother. ”
Estrella Berrocal brushed the corner of her lips: “You say you can’t live together the day before the wedding, and now that I live so far away from Villa Rouco, I can’t even answer the phone, can I?
Dulcina Calvo burst out laughing, “Estrella, how did I not realize before that you were so inseparable from President Rouco?”
Mrs. Vasconcellos said with a slight, gentle smile, “Well, well, you answer it, don’t you answer it now, I’m sure you’ll have to sneak a call to Adam later when you go to bed. ”
The phone rang long enough for Estrella Berrocal to break away from the crowd and run to the balcony to answer it.
Once the phone was connected, Estrella Berrocal explained, “They surround me, they look at me as if I were a thief, and I just answer, why are there so many rules for getting married? Next time, don’t celebrate a wedding again”.
Estrella Berrocal said it nonchalantly, to the amusement of Adán Rouco: “Señora Estrella, how many more weddings do you want to have, by the looks of things?”
She responded with a quick “bah humbug,” “slip of the tongue.”
At that moment, Adán Rouco’s car is parked just below Estrella Berrocal, and the man is leaning against it, holding his cell phone and talking on the phone while looking out onto the fifth-floor balcony.
“It looks down.”
Estrella Berrocal gasped and, probably upon realizing what was happening, she hastily opened the window and stuck her head out….
Downstairs, the man was looking at her with a fond face.
Estrella Berrocal unconsciously tried to call out to him, “Adam…!”
As soon as she screamed, she hurriedly covered her mouth again, fearing that the people in the room would hear her.
Adán Rouco looked her up and said into the phone in her ear, “Sleep well tonight and I’ll pick you up in the morning.”
Estrella Berrocal leaned out the window, also looking at him, “It’s clear that we are a legitimate couple, now why are we acting like we are cheating on each other and have to defend ourselves from the family.”
“I’m not going to lie, I was only able to get out at this point because of Paulita’s help. There Nico Amengual, Matthew Galvez, Esteban Zaragosa, Montrelle Herran and an old man, five pairs of eyes on me”.
Estrella Berrocal sighed softly, “My side is no better, they watch me like a thief, they don’t even want me to answer the phone, they say it’s bad luck to see the groom the night before the wedding, that’s what my mother told your father, what kind of high priest they hired, there are so many rules.”
Adán Rouco leaned somewhat idly against the side of the car, holding his phone and saying in a light voice, “But I’m content to watch you from this distance for now.”
Estrella Berrocal looked down at the man below and arched an eyebrow, “Me too, but I still want to run down and hug you.”
He suddenly wanted a pair of wings so he could fly down from here without anyone noticing and hug him, which he hadn’t done all day.
Adán Rouco raised an eyebrow and came up with an idea: “It’s early in the morning and since they are up, why don’t you go down and give them a sandwich?
Estrella Berrocal hung up the phone and went out to ask those present with great concern: “Are you hungry at this time of day?
Ciri Garzón rubbed her stomach: “I’m craving a barbecue”.
Dulcina Calvo is a foodie and when she heard the word “barbecue” her eyes lit up: “I want to eat too, and I want to eat crayfish!”.
That said, everyone was a little hungry and Estrella Berrocal immediately suggested, “I see a barbecue place just down the block that also sells crayfish, I’ll go down and get some now!”
Ciri Garzón pulled her back, looked at Andreo Fanta and said, “Leave the shopping to the men, how can you be an errand boy for a bride-to-be?”
Claudio Belles said it all: “Star, you’re not thinking of doing anything wrong, are you?”
Estrella Berrocal complained, “It’s so late, what could I do, and can’t I take advantage of it to sneak off to La familia Rouco, where there are still people watching?”
Estrella Berrocal was restrained and seated on the sofa.
Andreo Fanta’s phone rings and he receives a WhatsApp message from Adán Rouco.
“Haven’t you always wanted to know how Estrella forgave me in the first place? Now help Estrella down the stairs and I’ll teach you the secret of chasing your wife exclusively someday.”
Andreo Fanta looked soberly at Ciri Garzón, pursed his thin lips and said, “There are so many people, a barbecue and langoustines, I can’t carry them all by myself, I’ll go with Estrella, now you’ll be relieved, won’t you?”.
Ciri Garzon questioned, “How much does a barbecue and crayfish cost, and you can’t carry it all for a big man?”
Andreo Fanta reacted quickly, stared at Ciri Garzón and said, “There are six of us, one pound of langoustines per person is six pounds, and ten skewers per person on the barbecue is sixty skewers, it is understandable that you treat your man like a god, but is it too inhumane to enslave your man like this? But isn’t it too inhumane to enslave your man like this?”
The corner of Ciri Garzón’s mouth twitched: “…”
“You won’t let Estrella come down, so I’ll be more than happy if you come down with me and buy her.”
“I … am not going.”
I don’t want to be alone in a space with him.
Finally, Andreo Fanta, with Estrella Berrocal, came down the stairs on time.
