No One But You novel Chapter 5

Daniel’s mother leaped out and gave me a slap.

She was at least a head shorter than me, but she was accurate every time she slapped me.

"You are shameless. You have cuckolded my son outside, and now you dare to be so fierce!” She clutched Daniel's wrist as she walked to the door. "Come on, don't talk so much to such a shameless woman!"

I didn't have time to cover my face. I guessed it was swollen.

Yesterday she hit me on the left cheek. Today she hit me on the right cheek. It was a perfect match.

I followed, just in time to block the door they were about to close.

Looking at Daniel’s mother's chubby face, I tried my best to suppress my temper.

Because she was an elder, I was tolerant to her again and again.

"Let your son explain how I got the baby in my belly!" My angry fingers trembled as I pressed against the door.

"You cuckolded my son and you are shameless to say it here!" She pushed me away in disgust.

"Grace," I said, "Ask Daniel what he did after dinner that night. Daniel, say something!"

He hung his head and hid behind his mother, “Josephine, you go first. You are pregnant, and my mother's body is not good. I don’t want you get hurt you."

My heart ached at this moment. I didn’t expect Daniel was a loser needed protection from his mother.

"Josephine, since you have come, get divorced with my son. We have no such daughter-in-law as you!" Daniel's mother went back to the house to look for the hukou book. Daniel and I looked at each other.

I was angry to the extreme and I did not know what to say.

“Who is that man?” I calmed down and asked calmly.

"Josephine, you go quickly!" Daniel pushed me out of the door, “My mother now is angry. If she forces us to divorce, how should we do?"

"What do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything. I'll try to persuade my mother. I'll get you back when she gets over her anger."

"Do you think I can come back now that I'm carrying someone else's child?"

"Josephine, what do you want? I hate to scold you when you have someone else's child." He looked at me piteously. "Can you at least let me digest this?"

All in all, it seemed I’ve gone too far.

I stayed a moment, and then he pushed me out of the door and closed it.

"Josephine, go, I will find you in a few days." Daniel's voice seemed unreal through the thick door panel. Daniel was particularly good at tai Chi. Every punch I gave seemed to be in a cotton bag, and there was no reaction.

For the moment, I couldn't get anything out of him.

I went back to the villa in a listless mood.

I slept from night to noon the next day with a heavy head. I had no work anyway and plenty of time to sleep.

After I got up at noon, I finished my lunch. In the afternoon, I called Secretary Frank and reminded him not to forget our agreement. If I didn't see anyone before 7 o'clock tonight, I would definitely abort the baby.

Secretary Frank was very good-natured and answered me slowly, "What should come will come."

After dinner, I sat quietly on the sofa and waited for the man to arrive.

The minutes ticked by, and any sound could make me jump off the couch.

However, after seven o'clock the man still did not come.

Losing all my patience, I was about to call Secretary Frank, the doorbell rang.

Stella immediately opened the door, someone walked in.

I sat straight and craned my neck to look at the door.

The man came in step by step and stood before me at last.

I looked up at him, mumbling, "Why are you here?"
