No One But You

Chapter 45 You Don’t Love Him

I was drinking biluochun tea, which smelt good and cleaned the greasy food just now.

Mrs. Knight's words made my hand tremble. The tea was hot to the tip of my tongue.

I put down my teacup and looked at Mrs. Knight's face. She was still smiling. I didn't know what to say

in reply.

“I don’t know, he did not propose to me.”

"But he told me." Mrs. Knight put down her teacup too, and, with two jaded fingers, picked up the melon

seeds from the plate and peeled them.

She put the seeds into another clean, empty plate. I watched her with numbness as she continued to

speak slowly.

"You are the first girl Calvin was willing to let you appear in front of me. I imagined your appearance

before coming. You are different from what I imagined."

I listened quietly and wondered what I looked like in Mrs. Knight's eyes.

After a while she peeled off a handful of sunflower seeds and pushed the empty plate in front of me.

"Sunflower seeds contain unsaturated fatty acids and lecithin," she said softly. "They are good for Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

pregnant women and can improve your immunity."

"Mrs. Knight, you are so learned." I praised her.

She smiled was good-looking. Calvin and her looked really like, even the smiles of them were the

same.

She looked up at me carefully. "You are beautiful, but you have a fire on you, and that fire will probably

burn you and Calvin."

Mrs. Knight said so deeply. I became stupid after I was pregnant.

So I didn't hear from her whether she was for or against it.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to throw a check in your face and throw a glass of cold water like those evil

mothers-in-law on TV. Calvin knows me very well, otherwise he wouldn't let you see me."

I was a good talker, but I didn't know what to say in front of Mrs. Knight.

Suddenly she reached out and shook my hand. There was barely warm in her palm. She then hurried

away from the back of mine.

"Basically what Calvin decides to do doesn't change easily, but I know you two haven't known each

other for a long time, and it's not just the baby in your belly that makes him decide to marry you in such

a short time."

There was something indescribable in the way Mrs. Knight looked at me. I didn't know what it was.

I ate all the melon seeds on the plate, and then asked in a low voice, “Mrs. Knight, please tell me, do

you agree or agree?"

Mrs. Knight smiled, “Do you love Calvin?"

She asked me so suddenly that I was speechless and didn't know what to say.

I always felt that I had not yet reached the level of love between me and Calvin.

Mrs. Knight wiped her hands with a damp paper towel and got up from her seat.

She did not say a few words, and her face remained unchanged in a faint, shallow smile.

She looked at me and said, "Miss Josephine, don't worry, I won't be an obstacle to you."

She turned to me again, with her pretty eyes fixed on me. "You don't love him."

With that, Mrs. Knight picked up the bag on the chair and turned away.

I watched her slim back in a daze, and when I came to my senses, I heard the sould on the stage.

Damn it, I also rose from the seat.

Mrs. Knight had put her tea money under the cup, and I had a free meal.

Walking out of the teahouse, I was dazzled by the sun outside.

The sun was white, like an incandescent lamp hanging from the top of my head and glaring at me.

To my surprise, Calvin was standing at the door.

He dressed in a beige overcoat with his hands in his pockets, approaching me. He was tall and slim,

like a male model in the caricature. He had abandoned the sleek and modern look of the male model,

but had a sense of fashion which belonged to him.

When I tried to smile, he came over and put his arm around my shoulder. "Well, did my mother spill any

tea on you?"

I smiled reluctantly.

"What did you talk to my mother about?" He put his arm around my shoulder and walked to his car.

After I thought for a while, I didn't know how to answer. When I was a child, I would summarize the

main idea. When the teacher said a paragraph, I could summarize the main idea in a short while.

But I had spent a long time summarizing what I had just said to Mrs. Knight, and I did not know how to

sum up her words in a single sentence.

What should I say?

Should I tell Calvin that his mother said I do not love him?

As a matter of fact, I didn't talk to Mrs. Knight very much, and she didn’t give me a chance to talk.

"I'm not sure your mother likes me." I said to Calvin.

"It doesn't matter if she likes you or not. I like you." He pulled the door open and let me in, then bent

down to sit next to me.

"Then why do you want me to meet your mother?"

"Fairy Dixon's mother called my mother, I have to let her see who let me personally refuse the

marriage?"

"How do I feel like cannon fodder?" I looked up at Calvin, “You don’t want to marry with her at all, so

you push me out to do cannon fodder, right?"

"You are so clever, so it is a pleasure to cooperate with you." He laughed, revealing his eight teeth

which were good enough for toothpaste commercial.

"You want your mother to help you after she sees me? But I don't seem to have helped you. She

doesn't seem to be supporting you."

"My mother supports me if she does not disapprove. And the only one I need to be recognized in our

family is her. I don't care how much disapproval other people give me."

I didn’t ask him why, but I could tell from Calvin’s words that he and his mother had a deep affection.

The rich family was in complexity which was beyond my comprehension.

I had no intention to marry into a rich family. As Mrs. Knight said, I was not in love with Calvin, at least

not yet.

But I'd been a little discouraged after I met Mrs. Knight, who, despite her beauty and good words, was

so unreadable that I was physically and mentally exhausted dealing with her alone, not to mention the

possibility that I might face more of their families. When I was back to Calvin’s villa, I was about to raise

myself as a canary, keeping myself from the outsiders. Anyway my belly was getting bigger and bigger.

I would like to give birth to it first.

And the most important things were to get divorced with Daniel.
