Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 24

Antonio, who was in a fit of anger, saw Hermosa protecting Adelaide several times and snorted coldly, "Adelaide, grandma is here today. For her sake, I won't blame you this time. Leave here if you dare do this kind of thing again."

Before Adelaide could speak, Hermosa raised her cane and hit Antonio's arm, "You bastard! I'm not dead yet. You dare to disobey me now?"

Antonio felt that Hermosa was deceived by Adelaide. Hermosa didn't know how Clarissa attracted Antonio. They had argued and quarreled several times for the sake of their respective defenders. Antonio was very obedient at first. But now, he would contradict Hermosa in words. It could be seen how protective they were.

"Grandma..." Hermosa always called him "bastard" in front of Adelaide, which made Antonio feel shameless.

Hermosa's face turned ashen with outrage. So, Antonio stopped saying anything.

People in the Baron family seemed to be cold, but were kind inside. It did not matter to Hermosa who was at such an age. Antonio usually had a cold face, for fear that others would think he was kind. At this time, they stared at each other and the atmosphere was awkward.

"Grandma, I'm fine. Antonio didn't bully me. Why did you come here alone at noon? Have you had lunch?"

Adelaide pulled Hermosa aside. Their quarrel made Adelaide feel hurt. In particular, Antonio asked her to leave in front of Hermosa.

She swallowed hard and only felt bitter as if she had eaten a bitter herb.

"Ivy came with me. I just met with that woman. It is so annoying. Fortunately, it is you who married into our family." That woman naturally meant Clarissa. Hermosa directly said that she had met Clarissa in front of Antonio. She might intend to tell Antonio about her conversation with Clarissa by the chance of talking to Adelaide.

Adelaide was not stupid. She peeked at Antonio, who was still angry, and supported Hermosa to sit on the bed. Then, she asked, "Grandma, what's the matter? Did Clarissa anger you?"

"I'm angry at the mention of this woman. I told her not to bother you guys. But she didn't listen to me and scolded me in front of many people in the café!"

Adelaide and Hermosa echoed each other, roughly saying Hermosa's chat content with Clarissa. Antonio, who was standing besides, became suspicious after listening to Hermosa's words.

He knew Clarissa well. After Adelaide said that she was pregnant, Clarissa immediately said that she was also pregnant. Besides, Clarissa said that she was anemic. Adelaide had twice failed to get blood transfusion because of blood phobia. But Clarissa was still energetic the next day. It could be seen that she was not only smart but also resourceful from the fact that she asked Channing to attack Adelaide at the banquet. This time, she didn't say clearly that it was Adelaide who egged Hermosa on to force her to have an abortion. But her words made Antonio mistook Adelaide as the culprit!

What about Adelaide? She never bothered Clarissa. What frightened Antonio most was that every time he was with Clarissa, he got angry with Adelaide easily!

Could it be that…

He dared not think deeply. He was a little afraid of the answer. Thinking of that he had almost hit Adelaide impulsively and even asked her to leave, Antonio felt guilty.

He looked up at Adelaide carefully, who was talking to Hermosa. Their eyes suddenly met. They just tacitly pretended not to see each other.

"Adelaide, why are you still sitting there? Let Damla cook!" Antonio ordered in displeasure, as if he could look more domineering while speaking with a gloomy face. However, it was this bluff which made him guiltier!

Adelaide basically would not disobey his words. Even if he took Clarissa home, she did not care.

Hermosa knew that Antonio had heard their conversation. She had thought that Antonio would apologize to Adelaide or cave in. But she didn't expect that he had been accustomed to speaking and acting arbitrarily and couldn't bear to apologize as a president.
