Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 201

Oscar entered the office of Antonio with documents in his hands. He said to Antonio, "Mr. Antonio, tomorrow we are going to negotiate with a company in Hong Kong for cooperation. I have booked a plane ticket, and we will take a flight to Hong Kong in the afternoon."

And then Oscar stood there and waited for his answer. However, Antonio just looked out the window, and it seemed that he didn’t intend to answer him.

Oscar had to ask him, "Mr. Antonio, shall we start off now?"

Antonio turned back, but he didn’t look at Oscar or answer him. He just looked at his own fingers with his head down. After a while, he said to Oscar slowly, "I am busy. I will go to Hong Kong in two days."

Oscar was a bit anxious, "Mr. Antonio, it is very... " He wanted to tell him that it was very important, but he was interrupted by Antonio coldly, "Don’t you understand what I say?"

Oscar had to shut up. In his opinion, Antonio was seldom so annoyed. If he was annoyed like this when he talked with him about work, he would be in an extremely bad mood.

Oscar wasn’t silly, so he wouldn’t keep talking about it with him.

He left and then closed the door of his office.

After he left, Antonio looked out the window again.

It was noisy outside the window, with busy traffic and tall buildings. And his eyes were deep.

Last night, he gave up finding Adelaide in the bar when she didn’t answer his call. On the contrary, he drove himself home.

He waited for Adelaide for a long time as before. However, she didn’t come back this time.

Therefore, he stayed up all night.

Actually, he already guessed that she wouldn’t come back home last night.

He still remembered that when he entered the bar, he saw Aadam, who hugged a woman in his arms.

It seemed that the woman in his arms was Adelaide. He didn’t know why she would be together with Aadam. But he faintly felt that he was being tricked.

So he felt sad. He seldom felt sad before. However, he really felt sad because of Adelaide.

'Adelaide, do you hate me so much? You do know that I will go there to meet you. Why are you with Aadam?’

Antonio kept thinking about it for the whole night. Actually, he didn’t dare to think about it too much. They stayed in the same room in the middle of night. Would they make love?

He didn’t want to think too much about it. Otherwise, his self-esteem would be hurt.

However, he couldn’t help thinking about it.

The morning light spilled into his bedroom through the window glass, which made the floor golden.

He didn’t want to stay here to enjoy the scenery. So he went to work after freshening up. He didn’t want to wait for her anymore.

However, he was just staring at the window in a daze all day long in his own office.

When he found that it was already 5:00 pm by checking his watch, he looked back in his office.

He sat on a comfortable chair with his eyes closed for a while, and then he suddenly stood up and walked out of his office.

Perhaps it was his guess, and it might not be the truth.

He said to himself in his mind. At the same time, he needed to know the answer, and he wanted Adelaide to tell him the truth.

Antonio drove slowly on the way home on purpose. He was just like a child full of curiosity, and he wanted to get an answer, but he was afraid that he wouldn’t be satisfied with the answer.

Finally, he came back home at 6:00 pm.

At this time, Damla was cooking in the kitchen while Adelaide was watching TV on the sofa in the living room.

She was focusing on the TV, so she didn’t notice that Antonio entered the living room.

Antonio glanced at her and then he walked up to Damla and said to her, "Damla, go back to your bedroom. You don’t need to cook for us tonight." He said to her slightly, but it worked. Damla didn’t ask him why she didn't need to cook. She just put down the kitchen wares and then went back to her own bedroom.

After she left, Antonio walked up to Adelaide slowly and then sat down by her side. At this time, Adelaide noticed him.

She was startled, and she shivered when seeing his appearance.

"Where is Damla?" Since she was nervous, she tried to say something.

"I asked her to go back to her bedroom." Antonio turned back and said.

"What do we have for dinner if she doesn’t cook for us?" Adelaide looked back and saw that there was only a dish on the table.

Antonio didn’t answer her, he looked at her seriously and said, "Last night, I went to find you in the bar. Why didn’t you stay there?"

Although he didn’t sound angry, Adelaide could tell he was serious.

She could tell him that Aadam drove her home, but she didn’t think that he would believe her. Since she wanted to get along well with him, she didn’t want to arouse his suspicion.

She wasn’t good at telling lies, but she knew how to lie even though she would feel a bit nervous. So she said to him, "Yesterday, I waited for you in the bar for a while, but you didn’t come. I didn’t think you would come back, so... I went to the hotel next to it and booked a room. And then I went to sleep and came back home the next day after I woke up."

"Why didn’t you come back home to go to sleep?" Antonio asked her. And she didn’t notice that he was angry.

"Well... I was drunk at that time. The bar was far away from home, so I didn’t think I could come back home by myself..."

Antonio sneered and interrupted her, "That sounds perfect. But you don’t need to explain to me anymore."

Adelaide felt relaxed when she heard that. However, what he said next really surprised her.

"I want a divorce." Antonio said to her calmly.

Look, she was so hypocritical that she really made him disgusted. Why could she lie to him in this way? Antonio laughed in his mind.

He thought that she usually opposed him in the past. The moments when she was intimate with other men were like a fire at this time, which ignited the sadness and disappointment that had been in his mind for a long time.

So he said, "I want a divorce." Since he was so furious in his mind, he looked calm at this time. He felt tired, so he didn’t want to argue with her again.

He wanted to divorce, so that he had nothing to do with her in the future.
