Please Let Me Go

Chapter 192 Everybody Knew It

"You don't have to, I drove here. You can take a rest at home. I hope that you'll consider my words

carefully." Adelaide didn't let Hanna send her home and then left.

The sun shone brightly in the sky and it was still very hot. After walking along an asphalt road for some

time, she got on her car. When she started the car, she also turned on the air conditioner.

When Adelaide returned home and opened the door, she saw Antonio sitting on the sofa unexpectedly.

The TV was not on and Antonio was looking out of the window, thinking about something. Hearing the

sound of opening the door, Antonio turned around.

He looked straight at Adelaide with sharp eyes. Although Adelaide hadn't done anything wrong, she still

became nervous. She lowered her head, wanted to pretend that she didn't see him and was ready to

sneak into her room. Unfortunately, Antonio called her when she got only half way.

"Come here." She couldn't tell whether Antonio was happy or angry from his voice.

Adelaide somewhat dared not come close to Antonio. She thought: must I come over when you ask?

Why should I listen to you? Humph!

However, in fact, she couldn't help coming a little closer to Antonio. Although she was afraid that

Antonio would suddenly lose temper, she felt that she hadn't done anything wrong in the past two days

after careful consideration. She thought that Antonio might ask her to come close to him for something

else.

No. Antonio was moody and I should keep myself apart from him.

Adelaide made up her mind and stopped, "What's the matter?"

Antonio touched his chin with one hand, "Come here and I'll tell you. How can I tell you when you're so

far away from me?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Adelaide put her hands on her hips, "I'm not far away from you. Besides, I'm not deaf. Just tell me. I'm

listening."

Antonio frowned, crossed his legs and asked lazily, "Adelaide, why do I feel that you are afraid of me?"

Her sore spot was touched, but she didn't show the white feather, "Who...How is it possible that...I'm

afraid of you...humph!"

"Since you're not afraid of me, come here." Antonio beckoned to Adelaide.

"No." Adelaide refused instantly.

Antonio kept silent for a moment and then continued to ask, "Well, where did you go last night?"

Adelaide's lips twitched, "I went out to play with my best friend and just came back a little late."

As a matter of fact, Antonio had been waiting for Adelaide last night. However, he waited without result.

When he was waiting for Adelaide, he stretched out his hand for the mobile phone beside him from

time to time. He wanted very much to make a phone call to Adelaide, but he didn't do so in the end

because of the awkward situation between them.

He waited until more than 11 o'clock in the evening and Adelaide didn't come back. Out of sight, out of

mind. Antonio just gave up waiting and went back to his room to sleep. However, he was still worried

because he didn't know where Adelaide went. Therefore, he didn't fall asleep even though he had

turned off the light.

He didn't fall asleep until he heard a light sound of opening the door and the sound made by high-

heeled shoes at some point.

The next morning, when he was about to go to work, he found that the door of Adelaide's room was not

closed well and he looked through the crack between the door and its frame out of curiosity. However,

he was surprised that Adelaide wasn't in the room.

He couldn't help feeling a little puzzled and wondered if he had misheard last night.

A moment later, Antonio denied this guess because he was very confident in his hearing. Then there

was only one possibility left: Adelaide went out again early in the morning.

She went too far!

He was so furious that he didn't go to work. He stayed in the house to see when Adelaide would come

back.

Beyond his expectation, Adelaide came back before lunch. Therefore, he became less angry. However,

he was still curious about what on earth Adelaide had done last night and in this morning.

So, Adelaide saw Antonio after she opened the door.

"You came back late because you went out with your best friend?" He squinted his eyes and repeated.

Adelaide continued to walk to her room, "Why? Couldn't I do that?" she was tired, so she didn't want to

talk nonsense with Antonio. Last night, she slept late. In the early morning, she got up and went to

meet Hanna. Now she was so sleepy that she just wanted to go back to her room to have some sleep.

Antonio watched her, but he didn't stop her.

He could tell that she was really tired.

It made his heart ache to see her being tired, because of which he suppressed his anger and curiosity.

In the Battle’s house. After Adelaide left, Hanna closed the door and leaned on the sofa, eating

watermelon while watching Korean dramas.

Hanna loved watching Korean dramas very much and she also loved the one she was watching very

much. However, today, she couldn't focus on it.

She had been thinking about what Adelaide came to tell her this morning. She trusted her best friend

very much. However, she also trusted her boyfriend and her boyfriend also told her not long ago that

Adelaide liked him.

She was torn between her best friend and her beloved boyfriend. Before, she received a heavy blow

both physically and mentally. After that, she fell in love with Richard because of his meticulous care.

They were all very important to her. Now, she didn't know who she should believe.

When she was thinking, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Adelaide had just left. Hanna thought that it was Adelaide and complained in her heart: why do you

come here again so soon?

Putting down the watermelon, she opened the door without thinking too much.

The moment she opened the door, many flashlights flashed in front of Hanna. There were more than a

dozen people, who seemed to be reporters, standing in front of the door and keeping snapping photos

of her.

Hanna was actually very familiar with flashlight and she didn't hated it. However, being snapped like

this, she didn't know what to do.

She was puzzled: why did so many reporters come here? Could it be that they wanted to interview her

for the ribbon-cutting ceremony she attended more than half a month ago? It was normal that one or

two reporters came to interview her. However, why did so many reporters come to her at once?

"Miss Hanna, there's a rumor that you've been sexually assaulted. Is that true?"

"Miss Hanna, is it a man whose name is Kian White that assaulted you? I heard that he has been put

into the detention house now..."

Bang!!!

These words came to her like a bolt from the blue. She opened her mouth and remembered many

miserable things.

Feeling as if she were back in those desperate days, Hanna fell in a faint on the ground.
