Chapter 48 Tribulations!
Chapter 48 Tribulations!
Amidst Adelaide's shyness and Hanna's confusion, the four of them finally spent the dinner in laughter.
Antonio and Adelaide returned to the room. Antonio grabbed her hand, forced her to the corner and did
not give her a chance to speak. His big palm caught the back of her head, and his lips quickly covered
her warm soft lips. Adelaide at first patted Antonio's back, and gradually hugged him tightly. “Adelaide,
from now on, if you want to practice, just come to me!” Then the hard thing beneath him pressed
between them. She knew exactly what it was. His breath was all messy. Adelaide wanted to explain
that she had made a slip of the tongue, but before she could speak, the man shook her off and said,
“Remember my words.” And then he left in haste. Adelaide froze and leaned against the wall until the
biting cold froze her and she shivered. She slowly returned to her senses. Although she didn't know
why Antonio suddenly left, she was sure that person was thinking of something bad. Did he think she
was a frivolous woman? Adelaide once again shivered and had a sleepless night. Antonio went to the
study. The feeling of swelling below made him uncomfortable. When he almost couldn't hold it, he
remembered his brother, who was killed by this vicious woman. He clenched his fist and smashed it
hard on the white wall. He returned to the room, took a cold shower, and his mind cleared a bit. His
hatred for Adelaide grew even deeper. In the next day, he came to the company and was preoccupied
with business matters. He did not go home for several days in a row, and did not go to Clarissa.
Adelaide knew she had hurt him with her words. She had made a few calls but he did not answer any
of it. And she had gone to the company, but she was not allowed to come it and was told Antonio was
not in the company. Adelaide did not want to tell her girlfriends about her family affairs and sulked
every day. But seeing her expression, Hanna knew that the dinner that night did not improve their
relationship, so she asked Jerry out again. But Jerry told her that he had to go abroad to deal with
some urgent matters and he couldn't help Adelaide this time! Hanna was upset about it, but she could
only wish him safe on the way. She chose to take Adelaide to go shopping. Since Jerry left, she had no
one to discuss how to help the two get back together, and her relationship with Antonio was poor, so
she stopped helping but accompanied Adelaide. Today she had something else to deal with, Hanna
sent Adelaide home and left in a hurry. Adelaide returned home with a big bag of clothes and a smile
on her face. Damla was cooking in the kitchen. She hadn't seen Antonio for several days and asked
tentatively, “Damla, is Antonio back?” Damla said yes. If it was not that Antonio was home, Damla
would not be active in cooking. Usually Damla only cooked after Adelaide told her to! After shaking off
the messy thoughts in her head, Adelaide went upstairs to her room to put down her clothes. Thinking
of Antonio, she walked to the study. She was about to knock the door, but she stopped. She was
worried that Antonio did not want to see her. When she was ready to leave, she heard Antonio’s voice
inside. She vaguely heard him talking about the competitive relationship between the Swift Group and
the Baron Group. Since Adelaide's father died, the Swift Group was far worse than before, and the Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
reputation had plummeted. If not she had married to Antonio, the Swift Group would had disappeared.
She could not really hear it, so Adelaide lied on the door to listen carefully. From Antonio’s words, she
finally understood why Antonio was cold to her. He said he was afraid Adelaide would take the Baton
Group’s shares. Tears blurred her eyes. She had been liked this man for years, but he suspected her
without evidence and was afraid that she would take his. She wrapped her arms around herself and hid
in the doorway, shivering. Antonio did not know that Adelaide was eavesdropping. His cold voice from
the study like a sword stabbed into Adelaide's bones. “I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, I'll take a call.” Not
knowing who he was talking to on the phone, Adelaide continued to press her ear to the door, and
found he was talking to Clarissa over the phone now. She heard that Antonio laughed softly and said,
“Ok, I will be there soon.” At that, Adelaide wiped away her tears and returned to her room. Her room
was near to the study. When Antonio passed by, she showed up in the front of him and feigned a smile,
“Antonio, going out?” Antonio said coldly, “Yes, what's wrong?” Adelaide's nose turned sour at the
thought of him going to see Clarissa. She asked, “Where are you going?” “I went to see Clarissa. She
said her stomach wasn't feeling well.” Antonio squinted at her and found she was in daze. He said with
a frown, “I'm leaving!” Adelaide returned to her senses, ran to the man and said, “Antonio, I also do not
feel well.” “If you don't feel well, go to your room and rest.” Knowing that she was deliberately blocking
him from seeing Clarissa, he was annoyed. Her eyes darkened again. She expected Antonio would
carry her back to her room and stay by her side, but the man let her down.
