Please Let Me Go

Chapter 23 Two-faced

Clarissa still wanted to marry Antonio. If Hermosa really died of anger, even if she explained that she

did not do anything, Ivy would definitely tell Antonio what she had said today.

Unwilling to ruin her image in Antonio's mind, Clarissa left the café with her bag.

When she got home, she told her mother what happened at the café today. Her mother immediately

told her to call Antonio and told him that she was going to have an abortion. If Hermosa told Antonio

about it in advance, it would make Antonio suspicious.

Clarissa thought it made sense. After she waited for a while and tears were filled with her eyes, she

took the opportunity to call Antonio immediately.

The phone was answered after one ring. Clarissa cried, "Antonio, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can't protect our

baby anymore!"

With that, she hung up before Antonio said anything.

Antonio did not know what happened. But he could tell that there was something wrong with Clarissa's

tone. He hurriedly called back. Clarissa directly hung up.

Antonio nervously made more than a dozen phone calls in succession. Then, Clarissa slowly answered

it.

Her cry distressed Antonio. He asked in a hurry, "What's wrong, Clarissa?"

"Antonio, grandmother said I was a mistress, and destroyed your marriage with Adelaide. If … if I do

not abort the child, she will…"

Hearing this, Antonio's face instantly darkened. He patiently comforted her, "It's okay, Clarissa. Don't do

anything foolish. I'll go talk to grandmother."

"Antonio, I'm scared. Is it because of me that you and Adelaide don't get along? If I lose my child, I

might as well die."

Antonio rubbed his brow, "Don't talk nonsense. Stay at home and take good care of yourself and the

baby. I'll go talk to grandma."

After he comforted her for a long time, Clarissa stopped committing suicide. Although Hermosa did not

like Clarissa, she had never forced Clarissa to abort the child. Why did she suddenly force Clarissa to

do this? Could it be that someone had said something in front of Hermosa? Antonio narrowed his eyes

and Adelaide's face appeared in his mind.

Adelaide!

Antonio whispered her name and could not suppress his anger.

He strode to Adelaide's room and kicked the door open. Adelaide, who was reading in the room, stood

up subconsciously. She saw the anger in Antonio's eyes and swallowed, "Antonio, what's the matter?"

Antonio rushed to her and grabbed her wrist tightly. Adelaide felt her bones were breaking again. She

timidly asked again, "Antonio, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter? How dare you ask me this? What did you say to grandma?" Antonio was extremely

angry. He had never expected that Adelaide would do harm to Clarissa through the hands of his

grandmother.

Adelaide was confused. What did she say to grandma? She didn't say anything to grandma. She shook

her head, "No, I didn't say anything to grandma." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

If it was not that he didn't beat women, Antonio really wanted to punch the woman, who was only

pretending to be pathetic. His face became gloomier, "You are pretending to be innocent? Adelaide,

Clarissa has told me everything. How dare you still pretend to be innocent?"

Hearing this, Adelaide realized that Clarissa must have said something to Antonio. She quickly

explained, "Antonio, I really didn't say anything to grandma. Clarissa wronged me."

Antonio grabbed her more tightly, "She wronged you? Adelaide, the baby in Clarissa's belly is mine. No

matter whether you really do not care or pretend to be generous, I will be responsible for her."

He had thought that Adelaide was pitiful. Now, it seemed that these were all her means. She disguised

herself so well that even Hermosa was fooled by her.

Seeing that Adelaide didn't speak, he paused for a while and added, "Adelaide, if you dare to hurt

Clarissa and her baby again, I won't be so easy on you."

Hearing this, Adelaide sneered. She shook off Antonio's hand, "Antonio, you only care about Clarissa?

I am also pregnant with your child. But you don't even give me a chance to explain? Am I so bad in

your heart?"

Adelaide had thought that if she was extremely disappointed, she would not be more disappointed. It

turned out that she would only be more disappointed but not the most disappointed. Her heart hurt

again, which could not be ignored. This time, it seemed that there was a meat grinder spinning inside,

and she couldn't breathe.

"Alright. Then you can explain." Antonio suddenly realized that he had lost his mind after listening to

Clarissa's words. He thought that Adelaide had instigated his grandmother to force Clarissa. But he

had never asked her if she had done this. He convicted her directly.

Adelaide had dimples, which were partly hidden and partly visible, while she laughed happily. If

ignoring the tears on her face, she was definitely laughing broadly.

Her laughter inexplicably let Antonio feel uncomfortable. He said loudly to cover up his weakness, "Just

explain!"

Adelaide looked at him, stopped smiling, and wiped her tears. She said slowly, "Yes. I deliberately

cheated grandma to make trouble for Clarissa. I hate Clarissa. I just want her and her baby to die. By

the way, and her mother. I curse all of them to be hit by a car!"

Adelaide suddenly thought to herself wickedly that what Antonio would do if she admitted all this.

The good feeling and guilt Antonio had for Adelaide were exhausted at this moment.

He was furious. He raised his hand and was about to slap Adelaide while Hermosa appeared at this

time.

Hermosa had intended to tell Antonio in person what Clarissa really looked like. She didn't expect to

see that Antonio was angry and Adelaide widened her eyes and stared at Antonio with her eyes filled

with tears.

"Stop it!"

Hermosa hurriedly snapped.

Antonio turned to look at her and released Adelaide reluctantly.

Hermosa vaguely heard a few of their words when she went upstairs. Seeing their current expressions,

Hermosa knew that Antonio had misunderstood Adelaide again.

She stood between the two and looked at Antonio helplessly and angrily, "I went to meet Clarissa on

my own. It had nothing to do with Adelaide."

Hermosa paused, "Also, Antonio, trust me, Clarissa is a person of bad character."

"Grandma, don't speak for Adelaide. She has admitted it herself."

Hermosa looked at them, who were all in a fit of anger. No matter how good-natured a person was, he

would be angry if he was slandered by Antonio like this. Hermosa knew that it was not the right time to

explain now.

"Bastard, let me tell you, if something happens to Adelaide's child, you'll take all the responsibility. If

you want to vent your anger and hit someone, just come at me." Hermosa huffed. It was fine as long as

Adelaide was okay now. They could talk about the matter of Clarissa later after Antonio calmed

down.
