FULL NOVELXO Chapter 93 The Enmity Starts with Trust
The two stared at each other without speaking for a long time. They both paid attention to the sound outside. After a while, Adelaide smiled and looked at Clarissa sideways when she heard Hermosa speaking. Clarissa naturally pretended to be tough. Even if she was good at lying, she was still a little scared when Antonio came. After all, she was the only one who knew why Antonio asked herself out that day. Adelaide just wanted to ask Antonio about the situation of that day. She got up and shook her head. Then she walked towards Antonio a little staggeringly.
Antonio was not surprised to see her also here, but he frowned. He didn't like others to make mischief. Besides, he didn't like that others didn't tell him anything. Only when did Hermosa tell him the whole story Antonio suddenly knew everything!
He comforted Hermosa in gentle tone for a long time. Then Hermosa agreed to leave with the doctor first and let him handle the affair by himself. Antonio felt that he was so angry that his hands were trembling He took a deep breath and walked to Adelaide, asking her in the gentlest tone he could, "You have already known Clarissa was fake pregnant, right?" Although he was asking, his tone showed that he was already sure about it.
Adelaide nodded. She had nothing to hide. Antonio gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead popped out because of anger. But he still tried not to lose temper, "Why didn't you tell me but tell Grandma first?"
The answer was obvious. Adelaide didn't believe in Antonio or believe that Antonio would believe her. No matter what it was, she shouldn't have forgotten that Antonio was such a proud person!
Hermosa had rarely reprimanded him since he grew up. When he was a child, the reason why Hermosa was strict with him was to let him be a sensible gentleman. Now he had become what Hermosa had expected. So now Hermosa petted him instead of being strict with him anymore. Because of Adelaide, he was reprimanded by Hermosa over and over again. He was already very upset. Adelaide had known about Clarissa's fake pregnancy, but she just watched him be fooled by Clarissa!
Adelaide was silent, afraid to say the answer.
"Are you deliberately making a fool of me? Do I look like a fool when you see that I feel anxious and worried for a fake pregnant woman? Huh?" Antonio took two steps forward. He was only one punch away from Adelaide. So Adelaide could see the anger in his eyes more clearly.
She didn't answer, but asked aloud, "Did you ask Clarissa out on the day of my miscarriage?"
For her, she just wanted to know the answer that she had already knew.
Antonio was obviously taken aback, and nodded after thinking for a while. Before he could speak, Adelaide's eyes suddenly became cold, "Yes, I already knew that Clarissa was fake pregnant. I just want to see you be fooled by her. I just want to see how angry you are when you know the truth!"
"You!"
Antonio raised his hand in the air, but finally his reason convinced him. He clenched his fist and then dropped the hand heavily.
"Go to see her. She is waiting for you in the third room on the second floor. I have to go now!" After that, Adelaide waved her hand and walked straight out of the door without giving him any opportunities to speak.
But in somewhere Antonio couldn't see her, she had already clenched her fists tightly. She was really afraid that she would not help crying out.
The breeze was blowing. It was almost spring, but Adelaide still felt the wind piercingly cold, making her warm heart cold. She looked up at the sky and forced the tears back into her eyes.
Immediately, she closed the neckline of her jacket and moved forward with her head down. But every step she walked was so hard, as if walking on the thorns. He really liked Clarissa. Marrying her was for buying the Swift Group. Adelaide originally thought that the one who Antonio liked was herself, but now she woke up from her illusion. She had nothing, and even her only support died because of those two people.
"Antonio!"
She murmured Antonio's name. There was an obvious hatred in her eyes!
In the quiet room, Antonio and Clarissa looked at each other at the same time. The time was ticking. Ten minutes passed quickly. Each of them still had no intention to speak.
Antonio was afraid that he could not help but wanted to strangle the woman in front of him. Clarissa was of course scared and guilty.
Except for that night, he hadn't had sex with her anymore. Even if he pretended to be in love with her in front of Adelaide, as long as Adelaide walked away, he pushed her away, as if she was a stranger to him! If she had a few more opportunities, she could really get pregnant!
Clarissa was unwilling to give up, then she stepped forward and pulled Antonio's sleeves, "Antonio, listen to me!"
Hearing what she said, Antonio became angrier. Whenever he saw this woman during these days, she always started with this sentence. Antonio sneered, "Well. What do you want to explain?"
"Antonio, I can't live without you. I really love you so much. The other day my sister said that she got pregnant, I panicked all of a sudden. I was afraid that you would leave me, so I lied to you that I got pregnant. Now I really know that I was wrong. Antonio, please, as long as you give me a few more opportunities, I will definitely get pregnant."
She still had those fancies until now. Antonio couldn't help but laugh, "If it weren't for drunkenness, we wouldn't be the situation we are now. You said you would be obedient. But did you do it?" Clarissa was taken aback. She said she would be obedient at first. But her mother said, "Men are all unreliable."
So Clarissa thought since they had already had sex once, there would be a second time, and the third time. Sooner or later, she would be his wife. But she didn't expect that Antonio would really meet all her requirements as he said, except having sex with her. He didn't even kiss her. It was not easy for her to get the man. She was really unwilling to give up
"Antonio, I am a woman! I also have a need, but you only give me money. I want your love!" After saying that, Clarissa cried. She really needed a lot courage to say those words.
Antonio rubbed his temples. He became impatient, "Clarissa, it was just a mistake that night. You want me to be responsible for it. I can give you money. Even if you don't want me to be responsible for it, I will still give you money!"
Since that incident, he didn't drink any alcohol. If he had to join some social activities, he would ask his assistant to drink for him. He rarely drank outside. It was just that he faintly felt that matter was a little weird, "Besides, I can drink. But that night, I only drank three glasses. Then I passed out. I suspect that someone put the medicine into my wine."
He just said casually in order to see what reactions Clarissa would have. He didn't expect that Clarissa's face suddenly changed when she heard this sentence. Although she quickly returned to normal, Antonio still noticed it. His eyelids were twitching wildly, feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter.
Clarissa was terribly scared. Anyway, Antonio had already no feelings for her. What she did the next just made him whether hated her more, "Antonio, I really love you. But now it seems that you don't love me anymore. So I quit."
If it were Adelaide, maybe Clarissa's trick still had some effect. Now it was Antonio. She caused Adelaide's miscarriage and pretended to be pregnant to deceive Antonio's sympathy. How could Antonio let her get away with those matters so easily?☐☐☐
