No One But You

Calvin was here. He came faster than I thought.

I looked down at myself and found I was wearing a spongeBob Pajamas on discount.

I was like a Cinderella had come back to her life over a night.

Sooner or Later, he would come to me. This city was not big, where can I hide?

I pulled opened the door. Daniel was about to pat on my door and he almost hit me on my face.

"Mr. Knight is here."

I went downstairs and found he was standing in the entrance of the stairs.

I could read his slight anger and confuse.

He could have seen the note I left to him. And now he came here to ask me the reason.

I went down the stairs and stood on the steps, with my eyebrows were in the same level with his. I felt good to finally be able to breathe the same level of air as him.

Daniel's mother was standing not far from us, and Daniel was standing on the steps behind me. The four of us formed a particularly strange shape, a bit like a trapezoid and a bit like an irregular shape. Perhaps because of presence of Daniel's mother, he restrained some of the anger that was about to erupt and said to me in a subdued voice, "Come back with me."

"Back to where? This is my husband's home, and it's my home." The rich were rampant, rushing into the house of the married woman and taking her away in front of her husband and mother-in-law. The problem was that my husband was standing right behind me, looking at us intently.

"Josephine." Patiently, he called me, "Get out of here."

"Do you want to freeze me to death?" I showed him the spongeBob pajamas I was wearing. It was the beginning of winter and there was heat in the room, so I wore very little, so I could instantly freeze into a Popsicle if I went out that way.

Suddenly he came up the steps, and I took a desperate step backward. He seized me by the waist and encircled me in his arms.

He made such a move in the presence of Daniel and Daniel's mother.

I panicked to turn head, shouting to Daniel who was still looking at me, "Help me, someone molest your wife. Didn't you see it?"

Daniel smiled lamely. He stood still and said, "Mr. Knight, if you have something to say, please go downstairs to the living room and sit there while I make tea for you."

He was so obsequious and shameless. A rich man came to his house and flirted with his wife, and he wanted to make tea for him?

Today, I refreshed my understanding of his shameless.

In my eyes, Daniel was not like this before. Although he was very progressive, in my opinion, it was good to be progressive.

But now he was not progressive but high-hat.

"Let go." I gritted my teeth.

"Come back with me and I'll let go."

We were at a stalemate. I always hated threats, no matter who they were.

I stamped on his foot hard, and Calvin was in pain. His body trembled and he almost fell down the stairs.

Daniel was so clever that he rushed over and put his body behind Calvin. Then he frowned and scolded me, saying, "Josephine, how could you be so ignorant? How could you treat Calvin like this?"

I was amazed at his shameless.

Daniel's mother seemed to be aware of something. She came to us and looked at Calvin with her head on one side. "This leader, may I ask if you have demoted Daniel? Daniel is clever and capable. If he has offended you, please forgive him."

I was the daughter-in-law and wife of the two masters of this house. I was now hugged by a man in their presence, but these two saw no problem: one was too busy flattering, the other too anxious to restore his son to his post.

It suddenly occurred to me that I had made a wrong decision living with two people whose outlook on life was so completely wrong that I wondered if my outlook on life would one day become biased.

I was in Calvin's bosom and whispered, "Let go, I will be upstairs to change clothes."

He finally let go of me. I went upstairs, changed the dress that I was wearing today, and then came down and followed Calvin down the stairs.

Daniel had been following us to see me off, "Josephine, this is right. You can solve all problems, don't leave home out of anger."

I suddenly stopped, turned around, raised my hand, and gave Daniel a slap in the face.

He forgot we weren't married, and he sold me for two million to put me in someone else's bed.

And now he sold me again for his restoration, and to my face.

Daniel was stunned by a slap in the face. Daniel's mother was the first to react, and then rushed to me with a stiff neck.

She craned her head to hit my chest. Calvin immediately stood in front of me. Daniel pulled her down as she rushed towards Calvin. "Mom, I'm fine."

In his family, Daniel had a supreme status.

That was to override me unconditionally forever.

Once after we had a meal, I let Daniel to wash the dishes, his mother sat in the sofa of the living room and cried for a whole night, saying her son she raised so hard and now he needed to serve me. Another time, she saw Daniel in the room to help me wear the broken soles of the feet of mercurochrome, and then sat in the doorway crying.

I can't even get him to do anything, not to mention I hit him today.

Therefore, even Calvin could not control her emotions in Daniel's mother.

I swore I would never set foot in this house again.

I wouldn't live here if I rented another dangerous building with a dump downstairs.

I opened the door and went out. It was so cold outside. The cold wind was blowing on my face like giving me one slap after another.

I tightened the collar of my coat and walked on, still hearing Daniel trot after Calvin, "Mr. Knight, I beg your pardon for my reinstatement!" "Well, I'll reinstate you. Get devoiced with Josephine tomorrow. After the divorce, I'll reinstate you immediately."

The sound of Calvin rolled in the cold wind. It was clear sometimes and indistinct sometimes.

I smiled and walked forward against the cold wind. Calvin soon caught up with me and grabbed my arm. "It's cold outside, get in the car.

"Not cold at all." As I just finished my words, I sneezed in the wind, with tears and snot out.

He pulled me directly to the car, where central heating was on. It was cold outside but warm inside, and I didn't get used to it and kept sneezing.

He handed me a glass of warm water, which I drank in one gulp. And then he asked me, "What do you mean you are satisfied with the new offer?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
