Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 74

Sporing a white mink coat, the guest wore a pair of scarlet-red stilettos. All eyes were on her as everyone was got shocked.

It was Antonio who first gave his response as he slightly furrowed his brows to show his disgust. “What the hell are you doing here?”

The uninvited guest was Clarissa whose belly looked abnormal as she pretended to be pregnant. She should have been made a picture in her outfits, but her weirdly swollen belly ruined everything.

Clarissa’s eyes were filled with tears as she found Antonio’s annoyance. “My dear, I’ve missed you so much, you know. I’m haunted without you around with me.”

Antonio stilled frowned, not knowing she’d be so shameless.

Antonio’s grandmother also hated her, though, she had to be kind to her as she had the baby of Antonio.

She ordered Ivy, “Help Ms. Clarissa clean out the snow on her coat.”

“Okay.”

Ivy hastily went up to take the coat. Clarissa purposely showed her smoking-hot body when she took off the coat. “Thank you, Ivy.”

She put on the mask of kindness as if nobody had known she was an evil woman. Adelaide swallowed hard and tried to picked up a dice of bitter gourd she accidentally dropped.

Antonio’s grandmother kindly nudged her. “Sweetheart, just leave it alone. Have other dishes you like.”

Trying to hold back tears, she slightly wept and shook her head, not showing her sadness. “It’s okay. I want to have it.”

Clarissa stood there in embarrassment in that Antonio’s grandmother didn’t ask her to take her seat at the table.

So Clarissa secretly leveled Adelaide with a glare, as she thought Adelaide interrupted her conversation with Antonio’s grandmother.

The bitter gourd was too bitter for Adelaide, and she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. Ivy quickly gave her the tissues. With a fake smile plastered on her face, Adelaide explained, “I didn’t expect it to be so bitter.”

Antonio’s grandmother couldn’t fail to understand the implication of Adelaide’s words, but she was rendered speechless. Putting away his chopsticks, Antonio was also unhappy.

To attract all the attentions, Clarissa’s heels annoyingly click-clacked with every step she took toward Antonio’s grandmother. She knew the old lady loathed her, though, she purposely bent down and pressed her face closely against Antonio’s grandmother’s face. “I’m sorry, grandma, but I didn’t mean to bother your dinner, trust me. It’s just my baby miss its grandma so much.”

Her explanation was so reasonable that Adelaide had no choice but to invite her to join them. Taking a deep breath, she said, “Clarissa, come and sit down with Antonio.”

“Ivy, please give her chopsticks and bowls.”

“Clarissa, are you okay? I’ll let Ivy send you to hospital.”

What Antonio’s grandmother really cared about was Clarissa’s baby.

Clarissa shook her head in tears. “I’m fine. Antonio don’t want me to stay with him, so I’d better go home.”

Antonio’s grandmother got annoyed. “I don’t want to see anyone make a fuss at my dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival!” Eventually, Antonio quietly swallowed the food Clarissa had picked up for him. No more annoying words were heard during the dinner. When the clock stroke twelve at the arrival of the new year, everyone toasted to the brand-new start. Adelaide also had her own wishes.

She only hoped her baby would be safe and sound.

After the dinner, they sat in the sofa in silence in that there were no kids’ playing or laughing.

The ear-slitting sounds of firecrackers outside highlighted the awkward silence in the room.

“I’m afraid that you have to put up for the night here since you had drunk alcohol.” Antonio’s grandmother gently said. When Clarissa was exhilarated, the old lady’s next words blew her away. “Ms. Clarissa, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to stay at the Baron’s, so Ivy will send you home.”

Noticing Adelaide’s smug, she clenched her fists as she said with a fake smile, “All right. Thanks. I’ll go home.”
