The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters. 264. Next time, there is no need to give hope.
“There's something I have to do now.” Antony rushed to put his phone in his pocket. She immediately wanted to leave Adelia who was just wrinkling her face.
“Not have you promised to accompany me at this party? We haven't even met my mom and dad?” ask Adelia again who immediately stopped Antony's steps. “What's the problem until this late?”
Antony just let out a little long breath. He had indeed promised to be here together with Adelia. But he couldn't help his anxiety. I heard the grievances of Laura. That woman must have been hurt.
“Sorry, but I have to go right now. I'll be back as soon as I can.” Antony seemed to immediately want to hurry again. But he had not yet lifted his leg. Adelia walked quickly holding her way.
Antony looked at his wife's face which seemed to bring a sad look, but also a little annoyance that appeared there. Her beautiful eyes began to glaze over. Antony could only look at him.
“Tell me, have you found it?” ask Adelia. The attitude of Antony at this moment is very different. He often disappeared suddenly without being able to tell where he was going exactly. This made Adelia suspicious. Was Laura really found?
“What do you mean?” ask Antony. Of course she doesn't want Adelia to know the truth. This woman, has secretly sent people to look for Laura. And Antony doesn't want Adelia to meet Laura.
Adelia is with her body. Shaking his head while smilingly laughing at himself, along with that his tears just fell down escaped on his smooth white cheeks. Adelia wiped her tears.
“If you don't like me or have no taste at all. Better to be firm! Don't make me feel like sometimes you're paying attention or what! You better say you're busy and don't want to go with me than you just leave in the middle of an event like this.” Adelia is hysterical but tries to control herself and her voice. Behind the glass door, his entire family gathered.
Antony just silently looked at Adelia who once again poured out her entire heart. She repeatedly wiped away her tears that kept coming out rolling.
“I hope after this you don't have to expect anything to me.” Antony said it coldly. It was indeed better not to give Adelia any hope.
Adelia looked towards Antony's flat face. How could he say that. After what they passed together? There's not a little Antony's taste in him. She's a woman who saved her and her family's good name and made herself a president like this.
“Why are you saying this to me now! Why should you say this! Don't you have any feelings at all? I saved you and you chose that woman!” Adelia held her forehead with both hands. Still not out of thought, all he has given even his good name he handed over to save Antony's good name. Being scornful of people and families for accepting a man who had even rejected it, then failed to marry.
“That's why I do this. I still remember the kindness of you and your parents who saved my family's good name. I did this all just because of it.” Antony flatly said it even though the woman in front of him was already crying tears.
Adelia held herself. It felt like he wanted to slap this man in front of him for already saying such a painful thing to his heart. So all this time, this kindness was just a return?
Antony looked into Adelia's red eyes which he knew must have been very emotional because of her actions. “Alright then you want. I will no longer act as if I gave you hope.”
Adelia raised her eyes hearing Antony's answer. He had thought that maybe this man in front of him would think about what he said. But Antony agreed to his wish so easily. Adelia grew even more shocked when Antony just left her as soon as she finished speaking.
“Antony! Antony! Where do you want to go? Don't go!” Shouted Adelia with her miserable voice. He didn't mean to make Antony back into a relationship with him. Uh! What have you done, Adelia? So stupid. Your struggle to get back noticed by Antony extinct already. Even now you yourself are asking her not to care about you! Adelia cries out for just a little Antony's kindness she'll stick with it. Although only a little attention from Antony that he got. He will stay with that man forever.
"Antony!" Adelia again called Antony who did not reduce her steps at all and instead opened the door to the party room. Of course he had to pass through it to get out of this building.
But when Antony opened it. Antony stopped immediately to see the figure in front of him.
"What's this?" Asked Mr. Louise looking at his daughter-in-law who was about to leave. Contrast with the only daughter who looks a little red on her face. It seems to have just cried. "What's this?" Resolutely Mr. Louise again who turned a little angry. She never made her son cry, why did this man make his son tear up?
"Pa?" adelia said directly, "not that, Antony there's something to do. I was upset and angry with him because he chose his job instead of accompanying me. I was so upset I cried." Adelia immediately took on the situation. Antony only looked towards Adelia who was trying to cover up her mistake from her two confused-looking in-laws.
"really? Adelia, you should understand. Your husband is now a president. He cannot always follow your will. He came in a moment was fine. Don't be so spoiled like that. What if someone sees you here and thinks you're fighting. Your husband's reputation will be ugly!" look at Mr. Louise who feels like her son is very childish.
Adelia bit her lip. Antonya only looked at the woman who was now bowed wiping her tears. Because of Antony, now he's being accused and scolded.
Antony's really not good at throwing his mistakes at Adelia. But it wasn't that this woman had clearly said don't give him a single shred of hope anymore.
"Father-in-Law. I have to go now" said Antony, who immediately made Adelia look at him. The man just stared straight at his father who with a smile nodded surely. Do they not know, that the man they call this son-in-law actually wants to meet the woman who is a rival of their child.
Without permission without even looking towards Adelia. Antony soon walks in with certainty leaving Adelia and her parents. Adelia bit her lip so she wouldn't return to shed tears.
He breathed deep air. Because of him, Antony had already treated him so coldly. He also had to lie to his parents. Laura! I will take my husband from your side! In any way I would! Adelia clasped her hands tightly until her whole body shook.
