Please Let Me Go

Chapter 74 An Uninvited Guest

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.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

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.”

Ivy answered and went to the kitchen to take them.

A small smile had tipped the corners of Alvin’s lips since Carissa showed up. He hadn’t talked to her

before, though, he did know of her dirty tricks.

He secretly went to sit with her girlfriend and talked with her in whispers, which Antonio’s grandmother

didn’t like.

Antonio furrowed his brows deeper, not knowing what Adelaide was up to? However, Clarissa didn’t

care about Adelaide’s intentions as all she cared about was the spot next to Antonio.

After greeting Antonio’s grandmother with a huge smile, she scurried to the spot and whined about her

fear of staying home alone.

Antonio reluctantly soothed her with few words. After she got her chopsticks from Ivy, she picked up

some foie gras for him. “My dear, have some foie gras. Good for your health.”

He secretly glimpsed Adelaide after having the foie gras, only to find Adelaide was busy talking to his

grandmother. She even voluntarily poured some wine for a stranger next to her, which got the stranger

feel flattered and awkwardly stopped her from doing so.

Antonio was jealous. When Clarissa put another dish into his bowl, he dropped his chopsticks onto the

ground and snapped, “Save it! Just leave me alone!”

Then Clarissa’s tears trickled down her cheeks as she looked at him with a grimace. “Antonio, are you

mad at me? I see, the blame is on me. Fine. I’m leaving.” Then she pretended to leave her spot, but

Antonio didn’t act to get her back.

With gritted teeth, Clarissa purposely sprained her ankle and fell against Antonio’s body after she

screamed.

Antonio’s grandmother hastily asked Ivy to hold Clarissa up, finding the bruise on her ankle. But her

painful groans didn’t earn Antonio’s cares.

“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.”
