SWNOVELS Chapter 18 Indecisive Antonio
The succession of things made Antonio, who was tough in other people's eyes, also a bit exhausted. He fell asleep soon after lying on the chair. Suddenly, his phone rang.
He immediately sat up and picked up his phone and tapped the answer button, "Hello! This is Antonio."
"Mr. Antonio, it's me. I found out that the person who instructed Channing was Clarissa!"
Koby's voice came out of the receiver. Antonio could not help but frown. He knew a little about Clarissa's character. He had thought that her small tricks were harmless. So, he did not pay too much attention to it.
"Mr. Antonio, is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Mr. Antonio..." On the other end of the phone, Koby asked twice. Without getting an answer, he knew that Antonio might be thinking about something. So, Koby patiently waited for Antonio's next instructions.
It seemed that he should go to warn that woman. Antonio narrowed his eyes. Once he remembered Adelaide who was innocent was surrounded by those people, he felt distressed.
"Why haven't you hung up the phone?"
After a long silence, Koby apologized and hung up, "Sorry, Mr. Antonio, then goodbye."
"Adelaide!"
He softly murmured her name.
He unconsciously went to her room door. The person inside had already lay on the bed and fallen asleep. Damla was sweeping the floor while muttering about something.
As she turned around and saw Antonio, Damla was startled and stopped complaining. She nodded to Antonio lightly to show her respect, "Master Antonio."
"You leave first." Antonio shushed her with a forefinger to the lips.
Damla nodded and tiptoed out of the room.
The garbage she swept was still piled in front of the bathroom. Antonio looked at his wedding room carefully. There was a sign on the window. The rocking chair swing on the balcony was swayed by the wind blowing in from the window. That was chosen by Adelaide. He had only put a reclining sofa there before.
He saw a double bed of European style as he entered. The wooden patterns were beautiful. There was only one person lying on the bed.
On the other side of the bed was Adelaide's dressing table, which was empty. Antonio approached and saw that it was covered with dust. He thought for a moment. It seemed that Clarissa had thrown all these things on the ground before she left home. He couldn't remember the exact time. He recalled it carefully. Clarissa seemed to have told him that it was Adelaide who overturned the dresser.
What had he done? He seemed to have listened to Clarissa's words and asked Adelaide to help Clarissa wash clothes.
So, it was him who allowed Clarissa to be so arrogant.
Antonio was a little guilty and didn't dare to see Adelaide. He walked around the room again. The wardrobe was so empty. In addition to his suits, there were only her jeans and dresses. No wonder she did not have suitable dress last time. There was no dress in her wardrobe.
Antonio was about to go to the bathroom to wash and sleep with Adelaide. His nightgown was lying flat on the shelf in the bathroom! The toothpaste was also prepared and was placed on the mouthwash cup. There was a brand-new towel. He glanced at the floor. Sure enough, he saw his slippers by the wall.
She had gotten her toiletries ready again?
Antonio took a deep breath, remembering that she had done the same when they just got married. Antonio suppressed his excitement and came out after a quick shower.
At this time, Adelaide turned over suddenly. The quilt was all pressed by her now. Antonio's eyes were full of affection that he had never noticed. He gently took Adelaide to the other side, and then tucked the quilt around her.
Adelaide was lying on the bed quietly. She closed her eyes and Antonio couldn't see the light in her eyes. A shadow of a smile touched her mouth. Antonio looked at her and laughed unconsciously. Knowing that she was asleep, he still asked, "What are you dreaming about? Why are you so happy?"
The response to him was just the woman's deeper smile. She looked nice and had dimples when she smiled. Antonio could not help touching her charming lips.
Adelaide frowned in displeasure. Antonio hurriedly withdrew his hand. If there was a mirror, Antonio must be able to see his scarlet face. He was like a child who did something wrong. His heart beat fast. When Antonio recalled the scene that Adelaide was bullied before, he felt he was an asshole. Many times, he knew it was Clarissa's fault. But for the sake of his vanity, he deliberately let others bully her to make her beg him.
He wanted to touch Adelaide's hair, hold her with pity, and love her more.
Just as he was about to touch her hair, Antonio suddenly sat up. He gasped. What was he doing? Was he sympathizing with this woman?
His brother, who was always good to him, died because of this vicious woman. How could he fall in love with his enemy? How could he let his brother turn in his grave?
He married her to torture her!
Yes, that was right. He wanted to torture her and make her miserable. He did not fall in love with this woman!
Antonio rushed to the bathroom and put his head ruthlessly into the cold water. He gradually regained a clear head.
This woman was good at manipulating people. He could not be fooled!
Antonio slapped his face. He did not stop until his fair face turned red.
After coming out of the bathroom, he did not dare to look at Adelaide and left the room in a hurry.
In Adelaide's dream, she could not see everything clearly. There was just a child with short hair and his voice came from not far away, "Mom ... mom ..."
Adelaide followed the voice. The child kept a distance from her. As she ran, the child shouted, "Mom, mom, come after me."
"Baby, mommy is coming!"
The woman in the bed revealed a smile because of the dream.
The next day, Adelaide and Antonio received the news that the Baron family was going to hold a family dinner. Hermosa Manfred, Antonio's grandmother, also returned home yesterday and specifically instructed Damla that Adelaide must be present.
When they were having breakfast, they also received a call from Hermosa, who instructed Antonio once again that this was a family dinner and Adelaide had to be there.
"Okay, I know!" Antonio impatiently temporized. He had heard Damla say this in the morning and did not expect that Hermosa still did not trust him and called him again.
He glanced at Adelaide who was humble and then he casually said to his grandmother, "I know, grandma. She will be well dressed. Don't worry. OK, goodbye." After that, he put his cell phone back on the desk after the other party hung up.000
