Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 13

Have to say that Hermosa Manfred’s word was powerful. Clarissa Swift directly skipped the step to plead with Antonio Baron. “What’s wrong, grandma?” Antonio frowned and asked impatiently, but he didn’t hold Clarissa nor say anything to let her stay.

Clarissa sighed and was reluctant to give in to Hermosa. In her mind, she cursed both Hermosa Manfred and Adelaide Swift again and again.

Finally, she pretended to be tender and said to Antonio, “Antonio, it’s my fault. I went to see my sister, however, her mood was bad and shouted at me that my child was a bastard. I got angry to hit her, then grandma came in and refused to hear my explanation. It’s all my fault, I will leave now.”

She walked towards the iron gate but her slow pace betrayed her.

“Grandma, you must have misunderstood Clarissa. Doesn’t the woman sow discord?” After hearing Antonio defending for Clarissa, Hermosa got speechless and angry, then she hit his back with her crutch.

“What are you doing?” Antonio moved and dodged Hermosa’s next hit.

“You’re good-for-nothing. You married Adelaide but doesn’t cherish her, and you even fool around with the bad woman. I am old but neither blind nor deaf. You get me so angry.” Hermosa was really angry. After taking a few breaths, she said again, “Well, I will stay here for a few days. You dare to bully Adelaide again.”

Antonio never dared to have any objections to Hermosa's decision. He nodded and walked to patiently comforted her. Till night, Hermosa still insisted staying. Pushing Antonio into Adelaide’s bedroom, Hermosa warned before leaving, “Treat Adelaide well, otherwise my crutch won’t let you go.”

Adelaide got nervous because she hadn’t slept with Antonio for a long time. But this time it’s not her who asked Hermosa to come here. Antonio glanced at her coldly, hummed and then enter the bathroom. This eased the awkwardness between them. Adelaide took a long breath and began slowly adjusting her mood.

“Adelaide, where is my bathrobe?” Adelaide heard Antonio’s disgruntled voice from the bathroom after sitting by the bed for a little while. As they hadn’t slept together for a long time, his bathrobe had been packed by Adelaide.
