No One But You

Although I didn't know what kind of soup was, it tasted good. I drank two bowls in succession and stuffed lying on the chair. Calvin ate fast. Back at that time, I often said he ate like putting the food directly into his mouth and without chewing.

Angel ate little in order to stay in shape. She kept looking at us with a smile.

Suddenly I got an idea that if only the whole family were only three of us forever.

Only three of us, lived our peaceful life quietly.

However, this idea was interrupted by a phone call for Calvin, lasting for a mere second.

He picked it up quickly, "Did Bonnie throw up again? I'll be there soon."

Calvin stood up immediately, and explained in a hurry, "Bonnie doesn't feel well. I'll go to the hospital."

"Calvin," Angel stopped him, "You are not a doctor."

He paused for a second, but still walked out of the dining room.

As far as I was concerned, it was unnecessary for Angel to stop him. Though he was not a doctor, he would still go even he could only stand there and watch.

She looked at me with regret, which I thought she totally didn't have to be sorry for me. I was not his wife and it had nothing to do with me whom he went to see.

If it was not that phone call, I thought I would have spent the most peaceful night since I got married to Brooke.

I was about to talk with Angel, but surprisingly Brooke came back very early tonight, and he didn't come back with Georgia and the others.

I was helping Angel put the dishes away. We ate at our house tonight, so Angel let Bennett take a day off and hang out.

Meanwhile, Brooke suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen, "Come upstairs, Josephine."

I turned around, and I could smell alcohol on his breath far away.

Brooke had never drunk much, but he drank tonight. I faintly felt that he was angry.

I hesitated, and Angel gently pushed me, "I'll be fine alone, you could go!"

I could only wipe my hands and followed Brooke to go back our room.

He usually didn't have much expressions, but today he looked sullen and I could feel something was coming.

I especially missed his expressionless face now, at least it was a lot better than his gloomy face at this moment.

I sat on the bed and was about to turn on the TV. He took away the remote control from my hand and threw it away.

He used to tolerate me, but today he seemed to have no tolerance at all.

It looked like that he had something to talk to me, and I was ready.

He stood by the bed and looked at me for a while.

I got sleepy easily when I was full. When I was about to fall asleep, he finally spoke.

"Josephine, let's divorce."

"Hmm?" I was awake immediately and looked up at him.

I guessed a lot about what he was going to say to me just now, but I didn't expect it to be this.

I liked his surprise, which I didn't expect and was exciting.

I didn't bother to ask him why, probably because I challenged his pride tonight. I was on the side of Angel, which embarrassed him.

I thought carefully, and nodded, "Okay."

Then I lay down, pulled on the quilt and was about to take a nap, and brushed my teeth later.

He threw back the quilt. His handsome face was covered with angriness, "Just one word?"

"You gave me two, and it was not bad that I returned one." I pulled back my quilt, "Isn't this the answer you want?"

Maybe he didn't expect me to agree without ado, "Why?"

His question was so strange. It was him who asked for a divorce, why did he ask me about the reason?

"I grin and bear it!" I smiled at him, "If you ask for a divorce, then just get divorced!"

"Isn't it because you've horsed around long enough?" He sneered at me.

"Kind of!" As I thought about it now, his proposal was actually not bad.

Anyway, I didn't look forward to taking the baby away after I gave birth to it. I was only a surrogate mother and it didn't matter whether there was a marriage or not.

I closed my eyes to sleep, but he grabbed my neckline and almost lifted me up from the bed.

Probably my indifferent attitude infuriated him and it was my first time to see him lose his temper.

"Josephine, what do you think the Knights are? Who do you think I am to let you play like that?"

"It's you who asked for a divorce!" His anger was completely out of nonsense, and he almost choked me, "Don't you like my answer? Then we'll do it again. Ask me again. This time I'll beg you not to dump me and you must dump me, alright?" He glared at me. Actually, his eyes were beautiful, like Calvin's.

It was just that his eyes were too deep that I couldn't figure it out what he was thinking. Therefore, I was too lazy to think about it.

He stared at me for a whole minute, then he let go of me, and I fell on the bed.

Luckily the bed was soft enough, or my back would hurt to death.

Then, he looked at me for a long time.

It didn't take him tickets to look at me, so I had no way but let him watch.

I could only pretend to sleep. To be honest, I was quite afraid that he got mad and chopped me into pieces with a hacking knife. People like him with no expressions on their faces were quite scary, because you never knew what they were thinking about. Fortunately, he didn't do that.

So I went directly to bed tonight, without brushing my teeth.

Before I fell asleep, I reminded him dazzledly, "Sleep early. We have to get divorced next morning!"

The second day, I woke up early, found out the documents such as my marriage license with Brooke and my ID card.

After getting prepared, I found that Brooke was not in the room, so I searched for him inside out, but still didn't find him.

I asked Stella and she told me he left early in the morning.

Weren't we getting a divorce? Where was he going this early?

I went back to my room to call him. He finally picked up after a few calls.

"Hello, where have you been? Are we meeting at the Civil Affairs Department directly?"

Clap, he hung up the phone.

He hung it up without saying a word, which I found without rhyme or reason.

It was obviously him who asked for a divorce. Now what? Did he regret it?

Honestly speaking, I really agreed to his proposal of getting divorced and I had even decided where to go.

I would go back to my hometown, to stay with Zofia for a while and waited till my child was born.

I had a short fuse. How could he go back on what he said?

I changed my clothes and hurried to his company. Calvin and he were both in DonHiu Group, but not in the same company.

DonHiu Group's business run in a wide range, with dozens of companies subordinate to it.

I couldn't even enter the main hall since I didn't have an employee card, but hovering in front of the gate.

I happened to see Secretary Frank, and grabbed his clothes at once. He was so frightened that he almost threw his coffee away.

He got a clear sight of me, "Mrs. Knight?"

"Where is Brooke? Take me to him."

"Mr. Knight is in a meeting." He said.

I was sure he was prevaricating me. I looked at him insidiously, "Do you believe that I have a way to make you unemployed?"

I could tell from his face, he did.

He led me in drawing a long face, and took me upstairs. Then we stood in front of a door of an office, "Mrs. Knight, please wait. I'll go in and get informed."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
