Chapter 30: A Jealous Man
Twenty minutes later, Adam, who was working in his studio, received a call from Santino.
-Hello, boss, the person in charge of Nanshan Cemetery said that Ricardo has already bought a grave for the lady’s father. This…
Adam on the other end of the phone pursed his thin lips and was silent for a long moment, then he spoke indifferently -Just leave her-.
The man blurted out those words as if it was “none of his business” and then hung up the phone.
When he went back to look at the work files, he felt only uneasy and enraged.
Did that woman even have the conscience of being his wife?
Is it because he doesn’t have that marriage certificate that he thinks she can be unscrupulous and have an affair with another man?
If she wanted to choose a good cemetery for Stefano Berrocal, why didn’t she mention it to him when he arrived at the studio a moment ago, but turned around and ran to tell her nephew.
She was the real mother of the Paulita, the mother of her daughter and yet she was involved with her nephew.
Under Adam’s dark eyes, his gaze grew cold.
…
Estrella went back to Perla’s apartment first, Perla was not at home, she did not know where she went out again, she took Stefano Berrocal’s urn and packed it, took a cab and went back to La Villa Berrocal.
Standing at the entrance of La Villa Berrocal, she suddenly had the feeling of being in a different world.
Three years had passed and I could finally return to this mansion, openly and honestly as it should always have been.
He hugged the urn and murmured, “Dad, we’re home!
The key that was previously given to him right after signing the contract with Adam, he opened the door, the mansion had not been lived in for a long time, a lot of dust was floating in the air, the expensive original furniture of the mansion had also been emptied long ago by Doria and her daughter, what was left was either too old or worthless, the empty mansion looked so old.
Estrella cleaned the living room table before putting Stefano Berrocal’s urn on it carefully -Dad, tonight, I will regret leaving you alone at home, all these years you could not be buried, you are aimless with me, it’s my fault, first thing tomorrow morning, I will take you to Nanshan Cemetery. Star cleaned the house, seeing her home became cleaner and cleaner, her mood also became more pleasant.
As he left La Villa Berrocal, his phone rang.
-Friend, I’m having a private party, it’s tomorrow night at eight o’clock, everyone is curious to know about you and Adam getting married, why don’t you bring Adam and we’ll get together?
On the other end of the phone, Irene was speaking in a provocative and mocking tone.
Estrella said calmly -There is no need, I don’t like to attend parties and you know that Adam is very busy, have a good time, we won’t accompany you-.
Irene laughed a little, “Girlfriend, aren’t you interested in parties or are you afraid? If you’re really married to Adam, it shouldn’t be hard to get him to come to these kinds of parties with you, right? Or… are you just lying?
Star clenched her fist, hearing the smug voice on the other end of the phone, she burst out in annoyance -If I bring Adam to the party and admit that I am his wife, you will kneel down and bow three times to me in public-.
Irene was confident -Okay, if you have the guts, bring Adam for us all to see, but I have to remind you that if Adam denies your relationship in public or doesn’t show up at the party, you, kneel before me and you’ll have to bow three times! How about that?
-Okay!
After hanging up the phone, Estrella’s eyes reflected pure coldness….
Doria and Irene took all of Berrocal’s properties and the 10 million she got in exchange for her surrogate womb, indirectly killing Stefano Berrocal, definitely won’t let Doria and her daughter escape!
…
After Irene hung up the phone, her friends next to her covered their mouths and burst out laughing.
-Irene, don’t worry, Star is definitely a liar! A few days ago, at a charity dinner, I saw her with my own eyes flirting lewdly with Adam, But Adam didn’t even glance at her, it’s only been so few days, Adam how could he have married her.
-Ha, I can’t wait to see you kneel before me tomorrow in front of everyone!
-And if he doesn’t come tomorrow night because of cowardice, won’t we have a good show to see?
Irene’s eyes narrowed, with mischief in her gaze, -I know her, it’s obvious she’s in misery, yet she refuses to beg and has to pretend as if she’s unbeatable, if only for dignity’s sake, she’ll come anyway!
That night at the Pivo Czech Bar, he set up Estrella, but he didn’t expect Adam to show up halfway through his plan, but a few days ago he had his friend at the Office of Civil Affairs check it out, Estrella was definitely not married and Adam was still single!
He wants to cheat on her, it won’t be that easy! I didn’t think a man of Adam’s high standing would fall in love with such a miserable woman.
Will be looking forward to seeing Estrella’s show tomorrow!
…
After accepting Irene’s invitation, Estrella was pensive all the way back to Rouco’s house.
In her mind she wondered, if Adam would reject her, after all, that man used to be quite difficult to deal with.
No sooner had he arrived at Rouco’s house than he saw that the servants were already clearing the dinner table.
Had they already had dinner?
Estrella raised her hand to look at her watch, it was only half past six!
In addition, he had told Adam that he would be back for dinner in the evening.
La Felipa said respectfully to Estrella, “Senora Estrella, you have returned.
Estrella answered, “Yes, Felipa, have you had dinner?
-Yes, today Mr. Adam said he was hungry, so the whole family had an early dinner.
The corners of Estrella’s mouth twitched -So? Is there still food? I…Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
He touched his stomach and said awkwardly, “I haven’t had dinner yet.
Just as they finished their words, an indifferent male voice came from upstairs, “Aren’t you very capable? What, no one invited you to dinner?
Was there someone who helped her buy the cemetery, but no one invited her to dinner?
Star frowned and looked up, watching as Adam came down from upstairs, with a strange tone, “I don’t understand what you mean, if there is no dinner then there is no dinner, why are you talking like that?
La Felipa saw these two people and did not know what misunderstanding had occurred, as if they were about to fight, immediately as a mediator said -Mrs. Estrella, Better, , now I’ll go cook a plate of noodles for you…-.
Before Felipa could finish her words, Adam had already furrowed his eyebrows and coldly reprimanded, “Felipa, this is none of your business!
Felipa was astonished, although Lord Adam used to have a cold personality, he rarely got angry with his servants, Felipa did not dare to say anything else, -Yes, Lord Adam-.
Estrella watched as Felipa went down, she was filled with anger, she had never been used to seeing people intimidate others, -Adán, if you don’t like me, just say so, why are you angry with Felipa?
Adam’s frown tightened, who gave him the guts to argue with him?
The man just looked at her arrogantly, as if he was lazy to attend to her, turned around and went upstairs.
-…-
Star was speechless, so lazy to be bothering with him, she went to the kitchen to get food.
But what left her speechless was that Rouco’s house was so big that she couldn’t find anything to eat in the kitchen.
La Felipa seemed to understand something as she washed the dishes, this afternoon, Señor Adán had ordered his subordinates to remove all the food from the kitchen, could it be that he wanted to starve Señora Estrella.
But why is Mr. Adam angry with Mrs. Star?
