Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 23

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."

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."
