On the way to home, Adelaide was always crying. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes or heard it with her own ears, she would never believe that those things had something to do with Antonio.
Antonio followed her to the home. Watching her sobbing on the sofa, he felt so sorry. Then he slowed down, for fear of frightening her. At the same time, he was thinking how to explain to her.
Antonio patted Adelaide on the back lightly. But she threw his hand away, "Don't touch me!" She stopped crying instantly, and looked at him with the hatred in her eyes.
Antonio never expected that Adelaide would look at him with such eyes. He was afraid of her being hurt, but he was even more afraid that she would hate him. But now, besides hate, in her eyes, there was deep despair!
"Adelaide... listen to me..." Antonio wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Adelaide, "Don't explain! I don't want to listen!" Adelaide covered her ears. Seeing her like this, Antonio stretched out his hand and wanted to put her hands down, but she threw away his hands fiercely, "Get out of my face. Get out!"
Antonio wanted to pull her into his arms. But Adelaide didn't want to get close to this man at all. She was struggling constantly, and even pushed him hard, "Go away! Don't get close to me!"
Adelaide now looked like a lunatic, with her hair draped in disarray, which looked so embarrassed. Antonio didn't expect that she would push him away with all her strength. After being pushed away by her, he lost his balance and then fell down. Seeing that Antonio was about to fall, Adelaide showed some worry, but soon she was as indifferent as just now.
Her face expressions changed so quickly that Antonio thought he saw it wrong. But he still hugged her into his arms. Adelaide was still struggling hard, "Antonio, let me go! You make me feel disgusting!"
Her words irritated Antonio. He looked at Adelaide incredulously. He didn’t believe she would say such words. How much did she hate him so that she would say such words?
"Do you think I'm disgusting?" Adelaide nodded vigorously. Her eyes were full of disgust, "Yes, I think you are disgusting! Antonio, I have never thought you’re so disgusting!"
The look in her eyes, her movements, everything she did now was all trying to show that she felt disgust about the man she once loved so much. What she saw and listened in that restaurant made her love to him become the hatred. She hated him more than loved him now.
It was the first time that Antonio felt that he was really going to lose her. He felt his heart aching, "No... Adelaide, it’s not like that!"
Adelaide stood in front of him, staring at him condescendingly. How familiar such a scene was! He used to look at her condescendingly, despising her, playing with her feelings...
Adelaide sneered, "Antonio, do you think I am a fool? I have seen it! I have heard it!" The indifference in her eyes made Antonio feel that he was really going to lose her. But he couldn't give up. He knew if he couldn't explain clearly to Adelaide this time, he would lose her who loved him deeply.
Antonio was scared. He was really scared!
Antonio stretched out his hand, trying to hold Adelaide. But Adelaide threw his hand away again, "Don't touch me! I'm so stupid. I have been fooled around by you for so long!"
