Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 2

Adelaide’s mind went completely blank at once and her ears were humming. She was befuddled and there was only one message left in her mind.

She was pregnant.

She did not know whether to cry or smile. The child had come at a bad timing.

She had not slept for the whole night. Her mind was full of Antonio’s look and words when he left. He would definitely not let her keep the child…She caressed her tummy and made a decision that she would not dare to think of before. When the dawn broke, she hurried to the hospital, got the checkup report and staggered all the way to the exit. She could not even manage to apologize after bumping into someone.

Clarissa Swift watched her despondent back and wondered the reason her dear sister came to the hospital. She picked up a document that was dropped onto the ground and her eyes gleamed when she saw the words “divorce agreement”. That document was exactly dropped by Adelaide when she bumped into her. She could not help but let out a smile and walked into the hospital to inquire about Adelaide’s purpose to the hospital.

Adelaide had no idea about all these. She was figuring how to let Antonio consent to the divorce as the only way to keep the child was to leave him.

One hour later, the door was slammed open and Antonio walked in with a gloomy look. “You’re pregnant?” He released Clarissa without notice and his voice became deep at once. He had forced Adelaide to take contraceptive pills every time he made love with her, if she was really pregnant…His eyes were locked onto her and he hated himself for not being able to read her mind.

Adelaide could not figure out how he managed to know about that that sooner. She could only look at him in a daze and asked with a bit of anxiety, “How did you know…” At that moment, she covered her tummy with both hands and stared at him in alarm. Her defensive mode had made Antonio grew even angrier and he remembered Clarissa’s words. “Antonio, what’s happened between you and sis? Why does sis want to divorce you when she’s pregnant?”

“Antonio, Channing Darnell has returned to the country few days ago, and I’ve even seen him meeting sis, right below the Pearl’s Hotel.”

Channing Darnell was Adelaide’s ex-boyfriend. Adelaide was shocked as she had not heard someone mentioning the name in front of her for a very long time. She was in a down mood due to Antonio’s indifference few years back and Channing had showed up during that time. He seemed energetic, positive, cheerful and enthusiastic, yet she had not expected that they were all pretended…Of course, it did not matter at all, what was important was what happened between her and Channing was spread all over the place and everyone knew about that. She wondered why Clarissa mentioned him out of the blue and she had a bad hunch.
