Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 18

The succession of things made Antonio, who was tough in other people's eyes, also a bit exhausted. He fell asleep soon after lying on the chair.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He immediately sat up and picked up his phone and tapped the answer button, "Hello! This is Antonio."

"Mr. Antonio, it's me. I found out that the person who instructed Channing was Clarissa!"

Koby's voice came out of the receiver. Antonio could not help but frown. He knew a little about Clarissa's character. He had thought that her small tricks were harmless. So, he did not pay too much attention to it.

"Mr. Antonio, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Mr. Antonio…" On the other end of the phone, Koby asked twice. Without getting an answer, he knew that Antonio might be thinking about something. So, Koby patiently waited for Antonio's next instructions.

It seemed that he should go to warn that woman. Antonio narrowed his eyes. Once he remembered Adelaide who was innocent was surrounded by those people, he felt distressed.

"Why haven't you hung up the phone?"

After a long silence, Koby apologized and hung up, "Sorry, Mr. Antonio, then goodbye."

"Adelaide!"

He softly murmured her name.

He unconsciously went to her room door. The person inside had already lay on the bed and fallen asleep. Damla was sweeping the floor while muttering about something.

As she turned around and saw Antonio, Damla was startled and stopped complaining. She nodded to Antonio lightly to show her respect, "Master Antonio."

"You leave first." Antonio shushed her with a forefinger to the lips.

Damla nodded and tiptoed out of the room.

The garbage she swept was still piled in front of the bathroom. Antonio looked at his wedding room carefully. There was a sign on the window. The rocking chair swing on the balcony was swayed by the wind blowing in from the window. That was chosen by Adelaide. He had only put a reclining sofa there before.

He saw a double bed of European style as he entered. The wooden patterns were beautiful. There was only one person lying on the bed.

On the other side of the bed was Adelaide's dressing table, which was empty. Antonio approached and saw that it was covered with dust. He thought for a moment. It seemed that Clarissa had thrown all these things on the ground before she left home. He couldn't remember the exact time. He recalled it carefully. Clarissa seemed to have told him that it was Adelaide who overturned the dresser.

What had he done? He seemed to have listened to Clarissa's words and asked Adelaide to help Clarissa wash clothes.

So, it was him who allowed Clarissa to be so arrogant.

Antonio was a little guilty and didn't dare to see Adelaide. He walked around the room again. The wardrobe was so empty. In addition to his suits, there were only her jeans and dresses.

No wonder she did not have suitable dress last time. There was no dress in her wardrobe.

Antonio was about to go to the bathroom to wash and sleep with Adelaide. His nightgown was lying flat on the shelf in the bathroom! The toothpaste was also prepared and was placed on the mouthwash cup. There was a brand-new towel. He glanced at the floor. Sure enough, he saw his slippers by the wall.
