No One But You novel Chapter 1

A heavy slap hit my face. My mother-in-law, Daniel Dixon's mother, stood at the gate with my suitcase in her hand.

She pushed my suitcase down the steps and it almost hit me.

"Why did you come back? You brought a shame on us!" She pointed at my nose and shouted, "Go away as far as you can!"

I knew Daniel's mother never liked me.

Daniel and I haven't had a wedding banquet since we had marriage registration, so she never recognized me as his wife.

I gritted my teeth and could not help but spoke, “Mom..."

“Shame on you. I am not your Mom." She snorted, "Fuck off right now!"

“I want to see Daniel." I bit my lips. "I had marriage registration with him. We're husband and wife."

"Daniel does not want to see you!" Daniel's mother blocked the door with her stout body that I could not even see whether Daniel was inside.

I couldn't try to talk with her in peace. I clenched my fist and my mind told me that it was unwise to quarrel with an old woman.

"Is Daniel on a business trip?"

"Yeah, that is why you messed with other man? You cheated on him!" Daniel’s mother made a gesture, which was like a net, covering me tightly.

"Grace," I changed my tone. Since she didn't recognize me as her daughter-in-law, I didn't want to humiliate myself, “You can't insult me like that."

"Did I insult you? Didn’t you go to the hospital today? Didn’t you go to the obstetrics department?"

I paused. I did go to the hospital today, but how did Daniel’s mother know it?

"No more talking? If it weren't for Anna tell me, I still don't know you are shameless. My son didn't have sex with you, but you are pregnant. Whose kid is it in your belly? Whose is it?"

At that moment, a thunderbolt sounded in the sky.

Daniel’s mother gave a cry of fright and pointed to the sky, saying to me, "The heavens sent the thunder to strike you! You shameless woman! Bah!"

She pushed me again and slammed the door heavily.

It was going to rain. I stood on the steps of the small building, looking up at the dark sky.

Lightning flashed, making me shocked.

I was speechless to what Daniel’s mother just scolded me.

In fact, she was right.

I was pregnant.

I dragged my luggage aimlessly down the street.

Daniel and I had marriage registration after dating for a year. We really did not have sex.

I did not have other sex with other men too, so when my period was delayed this month, I didn't care about it. Today I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that I was pregnant.

I didn't even know how I got pregnant.

I was not androgynous. How could I get pregnant alone?

I could not figure it out.

There was another flash of thunder and the rain poured down.

I did not run, pulling the heavy luggage, emerging myself in rain.
