SWNOVELS Chapter 197 You Are Drunk
After that man badgered her for quite a while, Adelaide bit her lower lip. To avoid getting into trouble, she went into a private box and ordered a bottle of red wine and some beer. It seemed that that man outside still considered her to be a spy, standing at the door for a long time instead of leaving.
The waiter happened to come to deliver the wine. After putting down the wine, he asked, "Hello, I didn't ask whether you want the wine on the rocks or not. Would you like the wine on the rocks, please?" She shook her head and suddenly asked as if she remembered something, "Well, is customers not allowed to look for people in your bar now?"
The waiter was stunned. Adelaide looked at that man through the crack between the door and frame. The waiter looked at what she was looking at and suddenly understood what Adelaide meant, "Oh, let me explain to you. Several days ago, the bar next to us sent someone to hide a large quantity of methamphetamine in our bar. Later, we were almost prohibited to open by narcotics squad. Therefore, the boss was afraid that something like this would happen again these days."
Adelaide nodded and understood that the reason why the man outside the door would be so alert was that he really considered her to be a person who came to hide drugs. Therefore, she immediately let the waiter go out with a smile.
She was not going to just sit here since she had ordered the wine. Considering that Aadam would come later, she poured a glass of red wine and drank it off. After drinking a few glasses of red wine, she became dizzy and exploded with negative emotions. For a while, she cried; and for another while, she laughed with an empty glass in her hand.
Soon, she finished a bottle of red wine. Then, she directly stood up and stumbled to get the beer that was placed far away from her.
Just at this moment, her cell phone rang.
Adelaide burped and took out her cell phone. She thought that she was hallucinating, because she saw that the caller ID was Antonio.
After answering the phone, she heard Antonio speak in an anxious voice, "Adelaide, where are you? I've been looking for you all day. I went to the hospital, but Miss Hanna was unwilling to see me. I tried to stop a few small newspapers from reporting this news. Besides, I've also found out the person who spread the rumor. That guy used to live in a cell with Kian and was only released recently."
It was rare for her to hear Antonio say such a long speech. She sobered up a little, leaning on the sofa, dropping her eyes and wondering something. She didn't murmur where she was until Antonio asked where she was several times.
A bar?
She went too far! Having done business for many years, Antonio knew how disordered these places were. After putting down his mobile phone, he was in such a hurry that he didn't even call Bruno but drove to the bar Adelaide told him at full speed.
"Master Antonio, dinner's ready! Aren't you going to eat?"
It was the fourth time that Damla had warmed up these dishes. When she was just about to ask Antonio to have dinner, she saw Antonio go out in a hurry.
He nodded and rushed out.
Damla secretly sighed. She knew Antonio well. He always bottled his emotion up and liked to pretend that he didn't care about the person he loved deeply.
After Miss Hanna suffered misfortune, Adelaide knew that she herself was tired and sad, but neglected Antonio's efforts. Luckily, when Antonio tried hard to help Miss Hanna, Oscar could be in charge of the company for him. Otherwise, how could a company's president be often absent from work to accompany his wife at home?
She saw all these. Thinking that it was unfair to Antonio, she felt angry in her heart. In the past, Clarissa was there. These days, she didn't see Flora and Clarissa at all. She had gone to the basement they lived in, but their neighbors said that they had moved away long ago. When she asked something about them, they all shook their heads and said that they didn't know.
Gradually, she gave up the idea of changing a hostess because Antonio loved Adelaide deeply. She was unable to help Clarissa, but Flora and Clarissa helped her a lot. Now, Damla still sighed when she thought of Clarissa.
She lowered her head and took a look at her mobile phone. It was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening. No wonder Antonio had asked her to warm up the dishes for so many times. Every time after she warmed up the dishes, Antonio would let her clear them after waiting for Adelaide for some time. Not long after that, he would think that Adelaide was about to get home and asked her to warm up the dishes. They had repeated it for four times. Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Damla guessed that he probably had found Adelaide.
When Damla pushed these thoughts away, he had gone far, leaving the door wide open. She trotted to close the door and took the food back to the kitchen again.
Antonio drove the car so fast that it nearly exceeded the speed limit. Fortunately, he remembered that Adelaide was waiting for him in the bar and that he would delay a long time if he was caught exceeding the speed limit by the traffic police. Therefore, he slowed down the speed of his car gradually.
Suddenly, he pressed the accelerator hard.
Three!
Two!
One!
The light turned red and he had to jam on the brake. The front wheels happened to be on the white line. He was frustrated and patted the steering wheel with great force.
Because of the red light, he had to wait here for at least two minutes. For Antonio who was so anxious, it seemed to be as long as a century. He lowered his head and leaned against the steering wheel. In fact, he had met Hanna and had talked with her.
He explained the issue about Kian, but Hanna didn't believed what he said.
Worried that Adelaide would be afraid, he didn't dare to tell her the true conversation between him and Hanna.
About not long after Adelaide left, he was vaguely worried that the misunderstanding between Adelaide and Hanna might be deepened if she went to see Hanna now.
Although he didn't know much about Hanna, he could see that Hanna was still naive and innocent from what she had done. She chose not to speak out about her grievance because she knew that the Battle family couldn't lose face.
Adelaide wanted to take revenge for Hanna by sending Kian to prison, but no one had anticipated that Kian would spread this news in the detention house, leading the news to be publicized.
On the day when it was published on
a newspaper, he stopped all his work and focused on invest who had spread this news. Unfortunately, he failed. At that time, he understood that someone had already found that person before he
did.
He was very worried, but he knew that Adelaide wouldn't listen to him. Their relationship was as fragile as a rope that was about to break. If anything went wrong, there would be irreparable harm. He drove to the hospital Hanna stayed in, but didn't see Adelaide.
Antonio went into the ward after knocking on the door. Hanna had been happy when she heard the knock on the door. However, her face became cold after finding that it was Antonio who came in, "She had just left. And you come soon. after that? You couple collaborate on it quite well."
"Miss Hanna, I hope you..."
Before he could finish his words, Hanna interrupted him, "Get out! If it wasn't for you, how is it possible that I would suffer from all these? Get out! Get out..."
Hearing this, Antonio became angry.
He lowered his voice and said, "Miss Hanna, do you think that everything will be fine as long as you don't take revenge on him? If he is short of money, will he blackmail you again and again?"
"That's our business." At that moment, Hanna's father came to the door and said in a rich voice energetically.
Antonio kept silent for a while and then left the ward.
"Beep!"
His musings were interrupted by the shrill sound of the horn. When he heard the sound of the horn, there was only more than 10 seconds left before the light turned red. He pressed down the accelerator hard.
