No One But You

Chapter 1 Out of the House

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?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

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.

I didn't have a destination. I got wet wherever I run.

I walked slowly on the road like a madman, with the rain pouring into my heart.

My family was out of town, my parents were not locals. I had nowhere to go unless I got into a car back

to L City in a mess.

A car stopped beside me and a man in a suit got off, holding a yellow-checked umbrella in his hand.

He came up to me, put his umbrella over my head and looked at me with a smile. "Miss Josephine?"

I nodded blankly. I didn't know him.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Please get in the car." He pointed politely to the car, "It's raining cats and dogs outside."

"I don't know you." I told him.

"I know you don't know me. Don't worry. I'm not a bad man."

"Do bad people say they are bad?"

He smiled and looked at me all wet. "You are in a mess. What do you think I am trying to do to you?"

I didn't care what he wanted. I was not getting into the car.

I walked forward, pulling the suitcase. He slowly followed me with the umbrella in his hand, and the

luxury car also slowly followed.

"Miss Josephine, are you pregnant?" His words made me stand still and look at him in wonder.

What, everybody knew I was pregnant?

He smiled. "Are you curious to know who the father is?"

Did he know who the father of the child was?

However, I was on my guard, “I don't even know about it. How do you know?"

He smiled enigmatically, “Follow me, and you now have no place to go."

I didn't know who he was, but his last words intrigued me.

Now, nothing lifted my spirits more than knowing who the father of my unborn child was.

I wanted to know how this weird thing happened.

I hesitated for a moment. He saw that I stopped, told the driver to put my suitcase in the back of the

car. Then he opened the door and politely asked me to get in.

It was warm in the car, my clothes were wet, and I made the luxurious car wet, but the man did not

mind. He smiled and handed me a cup of hot water. "You are pregnant, please keep warm."

I held the cup in my hand, but did not dare to drink.

There was nothing I could give him right now, but there were too many freaks.

I'd had enough bad luck, and I didn't want to get any worse.

After driving for more than ten minutes, we arrived at a garden house community in the center of the

city, where every inch of land was expensive. Some time ago when I passed by here with Daniel, he

took a greedy look and said to me, "If I can live here, it will not be a wasted life.”

The car stopped in front of a three-story villa with a large garden outside.

The man got out and helped me open the door. Pointing to the gate, he said to me, "You will stay here

until the baby is born."

I was confused, “What did you say?"

He smiled. "There is a nanny and a younger housekeeper who will take care of your food and

living."
