Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 7

A hoarse and powerful voice pierced through the air and immediately captured their attention.

Antonio who was overcome with anger subconsciously let go of Adelaide as he looked in the direction of the source of that powerful voice.

“Grandma, why are you here?” A trace of doubt crossed his face.

In response to Antonio suddenly letting go of her, Adelaide who was already weak in the first place plopped to the floor like a cotton bud. She heaved a sigh of relief as if she had been hoping for this to happen all along.

All of a sudden, Antonio’s face was swept over by a vague expression.

The old lady whose name was Hermosa was standing at the door and she was approaching them with the help of her cane and helped Adelaide up to her feet. She examined Adelaide’s lethargic face and shook her head sympathetically, “My dear, you have suffered a lot!”

She then turned around and faced Antonio, “You ungrateful child, you are able to marry such a nice wife thanks to the Baron family yet you are squandering this opportunity!”

The old lady was reprimanding Antonio vehemently as she helped Adelaide to the side safely. At the same time, she was hammering her cane on Antonio’s body to make her opinion clear.

“Grandma!”

Antonio’s expression was pretty hideous at the moment, but even he wouldn’t dare to refute his grandmother. He didn’t shy away from her beatings at all. He just stood rooted to the spot as Hermosa continued to whip her cane at him. While he was being beaten up, he slightly cocked his head and eyed Adelaide.

Did this woman learn how to be calculative? She even knew to implore someone else to help with her situation.

Adelaide only felt a disgusting shudder swept through her body. She immediately hugged her knees and curled up into a ball. She was shivering with fear.

She had known long ago that she could never hide everything from Antonio, and he would definitely be angry after learning about this fact. However, there was nothing that Adelaide could do since she was never someone important in the family. The only one willing to side with her was only the grandmother.

“Why are you glaring at her?”

When she saw Antonio’s gaze and Adelaide’s shrunken figure, Hermosa hammered her cane at Antonio’s body once again.

“Let me warn you, putting aside the fact that Adelaide is pregnant now, even if she isn’t pregnant, I will still skin you alive if you dare to harm her in any way!”

“You are really sinful. Not only you didn’t take care of your own wife well, you even pay attention on those messy girls out there. You are really an embarrassment to the Baron family!”

Hermosa continued to berate Antonio while hitting him with her cane. Both Antonio and Adelaide knew who Hermosa was referring to and they knew that she was never fond of Clarissa in the first place. In an instant, Antonio’s expression became uglier than earlier.
