Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 35

Adelaide was still in doubt of Clarissa’s fake prenancy news. Indeed, she did not really see that happening and just heard from another person. Even if she told Antonio about it now, he might not even believe her words. Not even speaking of having the same name. If she made a mistake about it, their relationship might get worse, though she did not really care about his attitude.

Taking a step back, if all of this was Hanna's plan, then her stepping on it would only make Antonio think that she was jealous and was trying to kill his child, not to mention the fact that Grandma also got a paternity test.

No way!

I must find a way to get to the bottom of this!

Adelaide was just about to take action when her phone rang, and "Antonio” was on the screen.

Looking at the name, she took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

"Hello."

"Adelaide, get ready, Jerry was back and said he wanted to see you."

His attitude did not seem to change, so Adelaide hummed and hung up the phone.

looking at the familiar but warmless place that was called family, Adelaide sighed softly.

Jerry?

The name appeared in Adelaide's mind without causing any big wave, as if they had met before. He was probably a classmate, or Antonio's buddy.

Soon, Antonio returned with him with a slight smile. The smiles on his face did not decrease even when looking at her, as if there was never a problem between them.

"Come, no need for introduction. Jerry, Adelaide."

As Antonio and Jerry stood in the doorway, Adelaide nodded slightly and stepped aside to let them enter.

What a beautiful woman. Every gesture and smile of her had a girlish sweetness in it. This was the first feeling Jerry had when seeing Adelaide again after a long time!

He did not remember when he started liking Adelaide, but only remembered that he left the county without any returns after she got married.

"Hello sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to look prettier than before!" Jerry smiled and gave his hand.

Adelaide smiled as well and shook his hand.

"Don't say that, I'll be embarrassed, let’s come inside first before we catch up."

With a nod, they entered the house. Adelaide signaled the two to sit on the couch,

"You guys sit down and talk first. I'll go and get you some water."

However, Jerry shook his head.

"Sister-in-law, you have quite a few servants in this house, so why do you still need to pour the water yourself?

Could it be that Antonio has been bullying you?"

He acted in a familiar with her made Adelaide a little uncomfortable, but out of courtesy,

she could only smile,

"No. I am just used to do it myself."

Instead of feeling embarrassed, Jerry laughed,

"Ah, since my sister-in-law said so, that must mean she's not a bad cook!

Then I'll have to be cheeky and let my sister-in-law buy me a meal!"

Adelaide got slightly stunned,

"I'm not much of a cook."

However, Jerry put on a look of disbelief,

"Sister-in-law, is it that you don’t want to cook for me?

You see, Antonio and I have been best buddies for so many years, and we've long been inseparable. It should not be hard to cook a meal!"

Looking at Jerry's playful and smiling look, this was the first time Antonio found his face so annoying. Seeing Adelaide smiling at him, he felt super uncomfortable inside, like the heart suddenly turned upside down.

He said, "Adelaide, this guy hasn't been back for a long time either. He came back specifically to see you this time."

He acted as if he loved her a lot in front of people, but the hint of unnaturalness in their eyes still got captured by Jerry.

Something seemed not right.

Adelaide was stunned by Antonio's shout, but still nodded her head.

"Since it's a special occasion, I’ll have to show my skill, but you can't complain if I don't cook well."

She did not know why she said such words. Jerry nodded in satisfaction, but Antonio was slightly stunned, and felt even more uncomfortable inside. He could not stop finding this scene unpleasant to look at.

Adelaide entered the kitchen with the excuse of cooking, thinking that she could finally escape from those two, but did not expect a tail to follow behind her.

"Sister-in-law, there are three of us eating. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it alone, let me help you."

“Can you cook?"
