Please Let Me Go

“I… Antonio, listen to me.”

Adelaide covered her belly protectively, afraid that the enraged Antonio would suddenly kick her. She licked her chapped lips while begging with a cracked voice.

She knew very well that Hermosa could only save her this once time. Once Hermosa was not around her anymore, her situation would return to its original misery. At the moment, she was like a pitiful existence, and Hermosa was her only hope.

“You want me to listen to you?” He replied with a sneer.

Antonio’s gaze swept over Adelaide’s belly which was covered by her hands. He was fixating his gaze on her hand so intently as if her bony fingers were being put under a microscope. Her protective stance only angered him even more as he suddenly grabbed her hand covering her belly and asked fiercely, “What, are you really that protective of this illegitimate child?”

“He’s not an illegitimate child. Antonio, he’s our child.”

One of Adelaide’s hand was perched on top of the sofa while her other hand was being squeezed by him. She almost felt like her bones were going to shatter into pieces, but what rendered her hopeless the most was his very expression at the moment which looked like he was going to devour her at any moment. She still couldn’t understand her mistakes. Was it so wrong to love all of him? Was it wrong to marry him? The more she thought about this, the more wronged she felt, and tears started to trickle down her cheeks as she couldn’t hold them back anymore.

She was crying again!

He was tired of dealing with this kind of wailing women. At least he would still spare his efforts to console Clarissa, but when she saw Adelaide’s saddened face, it was as if the impatient inner beast within him had awakened. He roared, “Stop crying!”

At the same time, he actually had a sense of empathy for some reason, and even he wouldn’t know who he was harbouring such feelings for.

At that moment, Adelaide said, “Antonio! Have you forgotten Hermosa’s words just now?” Adelaide gnashed her teeth and swiftly retrieved her hand from his grip while he was in a daze momentarily. She was no longer hesitant as she said coldly, “It’s fine if you hit me. But if the child in my belly is gone, I will definitely let Hermosa know about this! By that time, let’s see if she could accept this news in stride.”
