Please Let Me Go

Chapter 21 Make Trouble

When Adelaide's heart started to beat more and more quickly, Antonio suddenly let her go and snorted,

"You're too slow. Reflect on yourself."

With that, he left the study room before Adelaide could react.

Adelaide, who recovered from surprise, was sure that she had been fooled. She was so angry. But no

one saw it. She gnashed the teeth in anger and said, "Antonio!"

As she was about to rush down to get even with Antonio, the doorbell rang.

"Ivy, why are you here?"

Adelaide went downstairs and didn't see Antonio. She heard the doorbell ring and immediately went to

open the door. Unexpectedly, it was Ivy who had been serving Hermosa.

Ivy raised the bag in her hand and looked at Adelaide with a smile, "Ms. Adelaide, Ms. Hermosa saw

that you didn't have a suitable dress a few days ago. So, she specially asked me to send it to you. You

can try on it first. If it's not suitable, I will ask someone to change it."

Hearing this, Adelaide felt warm. Since her mother died, although she was a lady in the Swift family,

she did not get the attention of her family. Even though she married Antonio, she had never felt like

this.

Hermosa loved her as if she were her granddaughter. Adelaide didn't know if it was because of her

pregnancy. Now, she was not only sentimental, but also tearful.

Ivy was the nurse chosen by Hermosa. She was careful and considerate. Seeing that Adelaide's eyes

were red, she caressed her head gently like a baby, "Ms. Adelaide, a woman is always sentimental

when she is pregnant. Go and try on the dress. I'm waiting for your reply."

Adelaide nodded. Antonio suddenly appeared behind her like a ghost. Adelaide just had looked around

but did not see him. Now, he appeared on his own.

Adelaide did not intend to talk to him. But Antonio heard their conversation and sneered, "How arrogant

you are. You even ask Ivy to send you clothes in person. Others may think that I, Antonio, have abused

my wife!"

Adelaide didn't realize the jealousy in his words. She frowned and took Ivy's arm, talking and laughing

upstairs, as if she didn't see Antonio.

"Hey, how dare you ignore me!" there was a trace of jealousy in his words.

Even though Adelaide had expected that he would taunt her, she was also shocked by his words. She

got goose bumps and shook. She hypnotized herself and thought to herself, "I misheard. I must have

misheard." No wonder that Adelaide was so shocked. In her impression, Antonio either yelled at her

angrily, or mocked her sourly, or put on a long face without speaking.

He was seldom even affable to her. How could he be jealous? It was jealousy, right? He was like an

aggrieved woman when he spoke just now.

Adelaide returned to the room. The white dress suited her perfectly. She didn't expect her grandmother

would know her size. Adelaide was moved again. She talked to Ivy for a while and then sent her away

with reluctance.

Time flied. Antonio was good-tempered and didn't bother Adelaide recently. They had respected each Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

other like guests for three days.

It was getting dark and the moon was rising. Their way forward was lit by many stars. Adelaide was

wearing the white dress made for her by Hermosa and took the arm of Antonio, who was in a suit and

leather shoes.

They did not say a word but all smiled slightly.

They were a good match at a glance.

The door of the villa was open. Perhaps because relatives had not yet come together, Hermosa was

sitting on the sofa in the hall, constantly asking whether Adelaide had come.

"Ms. Hermosa has been thinking about you guys for a long time." Ivy saw them and quickly came to

take the gift from Antonio.

Although it was a family dinner, the relatives hadn't seen each other for a long time. If he came without

taking anything, he would be laughed at by others. Antonio never liked hypocritical manners before.

Adelaide went to the sofa and greeted to the sitting relatives one by one. Hermosa took her hand

affectionately and let her sit beside her.

They exchanged pleasantries, and a hand was placed on Antonio's arm.

Hermosa put on a long face and asked nonchalantly after looking up, "Who let you come?"

Clarissa put down the things in her hand as she smiled flirtatiously, "Grandma, Adelaide is my sister

and Antonio is my brother." She said and intentionally put her hand on her belly, "Besides, I am

pregnant with Antonio's child, who is also the Baron family's child. So, I feel that I should attend the

family dinner after careful consideration."

Hermosa's face was even gloomier. She hadn't informed Clarissa at all. How did Clarissa know there

was a family dinner tonight? Thinking of this, she glared at Antonio, asking him if it was him who told

Clarissa about it.

Before Antonio could explain, Alvin Baron, his uncle, stood up. He acted like an elder and sternly

criticized, "Antonio, what's going on? Haven't you married Adelaide? What is your relationship with her

sister?"

Alvin was Antonio's uncle, who was only the illegitimate son of Antonio's grandfather. However, he had

great ambition for the property of the Baron family. So, he had been gunning for Antonio all the time.

Whenever Antonio made any mistake, he would take the opportunity to exaggerate it purposely.

Antonio had always had a bad impression of him. He took Clarissa's hand and did not speak.

Seeing this, Alvin blushed with anger, "Hermosa, look, is this the proper attitude towards seniors?"

Hermosa had intended to reprimand Antonio. But in front of this illegitimate son, she didn't want

outsiders to laugh at them, "Aren't you just an illegitimate son? I believe Antonio and Adelaide can

handle it."

Adelaide's hands were behind her. She clenched her fists and her nails almost sank into her palms.

She kept smiling. After so many things, she had never been the silly girl. Was Alvin really doing it for

her? Not really.

Besides, she would be surprised if Clarissa did not come to spoil their pleasure. Wasn't she always

pervasive? What she said to Antonio the day was also after careful consideration.

As long as her child could be safe, it didn't matter if they got a divorce. Although Antonio didn't agree to

her proposal in the end, Adelaide had already thought it through. It had nothing to do with her who was

willing to have Antonio's child.

"Adelaide, do you agree?" Antonio raised his eyebrows and looked at her with frivolity in his eyes.

Adelaide smiled, "Do as you want. I have no problem."

Antonio should be relieved after listening to Adelaide's words. He should be happy that Adelaide wasn't

shrewish and did not make a scene in front of his family and humiliate him. For no reason, listening to

her words, Antonio was unhappy. Adelaide should be angry. Why was not she angry?

Antonio gritted his teeth and chuckled, "Since Adelaide is fine with it, Alvin, do you have any other

comments?"

Alvin looked at Hermosa with resignation, and then at Adelaide who looked calm. He was extremely

angry! He knew that Hermosa didn't like him. But what about this woman? Was she a fool? How could

she be so indifferent while seeing her sister and her husband getting together?

He gritted his teeth and blessed with a smile, "Then congratulations on having more than one wife!"

The relatives present all looked at Adelaide, who was not upset at all and peeled an apple for

Hermosa.
