Julieta Sarinana was not going to leave, and because she was so brazen, Estre Berrocal could not throw her out.


    After a walk through the mall, Estre Berrocal did not know what to eat and asked Dulcina Calvo: “What do you want to eat?”.


    Dulcina Calvo is a lover of food and good eating, “I’ll eat whatever I want, aren’t you pregnant, would you like something spicy and sour? Why don’t we go for a hot stew?”.


    Estre Berrocal thought the hotpot was a good suggestion.


    Julieta Sarinana, on the other hand, said in a very foul tone, “Adam doesn’t like the hot pot because it’s loaded with oil and spices and he can’t stand the smell afterwards.”


    Julieta Sarinana had been present for a while, and every word was about Adán Rouco’s preferences, and Estre Berrocal was outwardly good-natured, but her anger had escted.


    “If Dr. Juliet doesn’t like hot pot, why don’t we have dinner some other time? I haven’t seen Dulcina in years and I wanted to invite her to dinner today.”


    Julieta Sarinana thinks she knows Adán Rouco, but she only wants him to eat with her.


    Dulcina Calvo takes Estre Berrocal’s arm and agrees: “I want to eat fondue too”.


    He hadn’t really liked the super-expensive French meal he’d had yesterday with the demon Stephen.


    It turns out he has a real Chinese stomach and likes to eat and drink spicy food, such as hot pot with lots of oil and spices.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    When she went to a hotpot in Sichuan and Chongqing, it was a bit crowded at dinner time, so Estre Berrocal excused herself to go to the bathroom.


    “Are you free to go out to lunch?”


    Adán Rouco was finishing a meeting when he received that WhatsApp and slightly raised his eyebrows as he looked at the message on the screen.


    Wasn’t he dating Dulcina Calvo?


    “What is it?”


    There had to be a reason why Estre Berrocal had invited him to lunch so suddenly.


    Estre Berrocal answered honestly: “I met Julieta Sarinana at the mall”.


    Adán Rouco’s dark eyes deepened and he typed a few words: “Send me the address, I’ming”.


    “…”


    Estre Berrocal returned a series of ellipses.


    Adán Rouco stared at the screen and could imagine his sullen face, “?”


    He had the nerve to send a question mark, she had just asked him to go out to lunch and he had asked her what was going on, why she was running without the slightest hesitation at the mention of Juliet Sarinana being there.


    “Do you want toe to lunch with me or do you want to see Juliet Sarinana?”.


    Adán Rouco stood up, arm around his coat, picked up his car keys and answered Estre Berrocal with his cell phone in his other hand.


    “I was afraid Juliet Sarinana was stalking you.”


    Upon receiving this message, Estre Berrocal clutched her phone with inexplicable pleasure and satisfaction.


    …


    Hot food restaurant, with capacity for four people.


    Julieta Sarinana has just taken her seat when Dulcina Calvo sits elegantly next to her.


    Julieta Sarinana frowns and looks at Dulcina Calvo with a sharp glint in her eye, but Dulcina Calvo, who is good for nothing but ying dumb, doesn’t care whether Julieta Sarinana has a good face or not, and smiles at her willingly.


    Estre Berrocal thanked Dulcina Calvo from the bottom of her heart that if Dulcina had sat next to her, Adán Rouco would have had to sit with Julieta Sarinana.


    Before Adán Rouco arrived, Estre Berrocal ordered the soup base, which was a fourpartment hot pot with a base of red, clear, mushrooms and tomato, taking into ount Adán Rouco’s light diet.


    While Estre Berrocal was scalding her dishes with boiling water, Dulcina Calvo saw the diamond ring she was wearing on her ring finger andplimented her: “Estre, what a beautiful ring you have on your hand, did Adán Rouco give it to you as a wedding ring?”


    Estre Berrocal kindly admitted, “Yes.”


    Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Juliet Sarinana blushing with embarrassment.


    Dulcina Calvo said enviously, “The diamond in this ring must be one carat.”


    Estre Berrocal deliberately said, “Adam wanted to buy me a three-carat one, but I thought it was too heavy, so I went for a one-carat one.”


    Juliet Sarinana narrowed her eyes, a three-carat diamond ring?


    “Adam always has good taste, a three carat diamond is neither big enough nor small enough, Adam must not be able to look at a three carat diamond, right?”.


    This statement, questioning Estre Berrocal, Julieta Sarinana thought she was lying.


    Estre Berrocal says, “People’s tastes change, and what they liked before is not necessarily what they will like now.”


    Dulcina Calvo thinks it’s true: “I didn’t liketro when I was a child, I thought it was smelly and had a weird taste, but when I grew up, I thoughttro smelled really good.”


    Juliet Sarinana pursed her lips and smiled slightly, “Star, did you misunderstand what I said, I meant Adam couldn’t look at a three carat diamond.”


    Estre Berrocal snorted inwardly, misunderstanding? Was there such a thing? He thought Julieta Sarinana was trying to say that Adán Rouco didn’t like three-carat diamonds, didn’t like fondue and didn’t like Estre Berrocal!


    If Julieta Sarinana were Adán Rouco’s ex-girlfriend, Estre Berrocal would understand Julieta Sarinana’s desire to dominate Adán Rouco at this moment, because after all, her ex-boyfriend is with another woman, and she is not amused.


    Three women in one, you say one thing and I say another, just as the soup is served, Adán Rouco is brought in by the waiter.


    Estre Berrocal immediately sees Adán Rouco and makes a gesture with her arm: “Adán, this way”.


    Adán Rouco’s stern look softened slightly at the sight of Estre Berrocal, and he walked over with his long legs and sat down next to Estre Berrocal.


    Once seated, without looking at the others, her dark eyes looked at Estre Berrocal and asked, “Why do you suddenly feel like eating hot pot?”


    “Lately I’ve been craving spicy and sour food, and Dulcina happens to be craving hot pot.”


    Julieta Sarinana noticed the look on Adam Rouco’s face and thought she was disgusted, and was about to say something when Adam Rouco said to Estre Berrocal, “Can a pregnant woman eat hot pot like that? ”


    Estre Berrocal: “Why can’t pregnant women eat fondue?”.


    Adán Rouco’s big hand was under the table, touching her t belly: “It’s very spicy, can you stand it?”.


    Dulcina Calvo smiled and exined, “Don’t worry, pregnant women can eat spicy food in moderation!”.


    Adán Rouco seemed a little unsure when Estre Berrocal had already spoken, “Dulcina is a doctor, if she says you can eat it, you can definitely eat it”.


    Adán Rouco did not have much faith in Dulcina Calvo, a trainee doctor who had not yet started.


    So he sent a WhatsApp to Esteban Zaragosa.


    However, Estre Berrocal did not see it.


    Upon ordering, Estre Berrocal asked Adán Rouco: “What do you want to eat?”.


    Adam Rouco stared at her smooth white face and said, “Tofu.”


    “Ah, so order the tofu.”


    As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she felt the burning male gaze on her head, and Estre Berrocal looked up to see the game in his eyes.


    Her face flushed slightly, she was saying “I want to eat your tofu”.


    Estre Berrocal pretended not to notice and continued looking at the menu.


    Dulcina Calvo ordered a lot of meat rolls and tripe, and Estre Berrocal helped Adán Rouco with a lot of vegetables.


    The hot pot was steaming in the center of the table when Juliet Sarinana leaned out and said in a joking tone, “Before you came, we were discussing the ring on Estre’s hand and I heard that you were going to buy Estre a three-carat diamond ring. ”


    Estre Berrocal’s hand jerked as she took her food, not expecting Julieta Sarinana to dismantle her lie in front of Adán Rouco.


    He was trying to dodge the subject so that Adán Rouco wouldn’t find out what was going on, when the man next to him said, “I thought about buying a three-carat one, but he didn’t like it.”


    Estre Berrocal’s ears were burning slightly, either from the heat of the hot pot or from the affectionate tone of Adán Rouco.


    Julieta Sarinana ced her fingers under the table, squeezed them and said with a slight smile on her face, “Estre bought you the ring some time ago, but she didn’t know the size of your finger, so I met her by chance and knowing your size, I said to her….. Star, the ring you bought for Adam, aren’t you going to show it to Adam?”
