No One But You

Chapter 69 I Thank Him

The Knight family’s dining room was incredibly enormous, where there was a super long rectangular

table. Master Knight sat on the prime seat in the east, and Calvin’s father sat on that in the west. I

suspected that both of them didn’t dare to look at each other’s expressions on their face.

I asked Zofia to seat herself by my side, and I saw Angel on the table, who was sitting in the inner

corner, inconspicuous.

I was sitting opposite Calvin and Fairy.

What an ostentation it was for only a breakfast! The eldest man was supposed to be the butler, who

was standing behind Master Knight and shouted out, "Serve up!"

Then the waiters began to serve dishes on the table one after another.

Zofia and I had never seen such a scene before, so I hurried to jab at Zofia with my finger, "Take out

the cellphone and take photos quickly, hurry up!"

"How can I take photos with so many people here."

"It’s a rare scene. Hurry up!"

"Do you think you come here just for an experience? Aren’t you going to live such a life every day in

the future?" Zofia lowered her voice.

Well, so it was.

I looked down and tapped at the table with my hand in order to investigate what material the table was

made of. With a surface so smooth, it looked like a good one.

"It seems to be made of sandalwood." I said to Zofia.

"In my opinion, it is made of agarwood, because it is so hard."

"Don’t be a rube. The agarwood is black, isn’t it?"

"Is it made of padauk?"

"I think it is made of rosewood."

Brookee, who was sitting next to me, couldn’t help finally, "Mesua ferrea."

He should have said it earlier.

There were ten bowls and eight dishes on the table, and the breakfast was so sumptuous, with

Chinese food as well as western food, fruits, salad and raw ham, which was sliced by the cook with a

plane. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Georgia liked the raw ham, but I didn’t like her, who looked like a crafty person.

Georgia was Brooke’s mother and the principle wife of Calvin’s father.

I had no interest in raw ham, but the abalone with rice gruel was very good. The fresh abalone was so

big, soft and delicious. I had eaten two bowls within three minutes.

Angel, who was sitting far away from me, suddenly opened her mouth and whispered, looking at me,

"The abalone with rice gruel is of cold nature. Don’t eat too much."

If anyone else had said this to me, I should have said "It’s none of your business".

But towards Angel, I couldn’t speak it out.

I was about to ask Stella behind me to give me a third bowl, but I stopped.

At this time, Georgia, sitting next to Philip said, "Well, hearing that, I would think Josephine is your

daughter-in-law, but she is pregnant with my son’s child."

She was so domineering, and undisguised.

It was not absolutely the first time for her to humiliate Angel in front of Calvin’s father and Master

Knight.

It irritated me when I saw Georgia humiliate Angel.

"God mother is right. I will never eat abalone anymore." I smiled at Angel.

Brooke put a piece of raw ham on my plate, and said in a light voice, from which I heard kind of

warning, "When did auntie become your god mother?"

"I identified her as god mother yesterday. Don’t you know it?" I bit the chopstick and looked at him,

grinning.

Georgia lost her face, but what I said just now was not addressed to her directly. Her face darkened a

little, "She is your aunt, and you identified her as god mother. Where is the family hierarchy?"

"I think it is good to have her as my god mother since she is not my biological mother." I shrugged my

shoulders nonchalantly, and then I threw the raw ham given by Brooke in my plate to the table, "I don’t

like it."

Raw ham was the favorite of Georgia. Seeing me throw away the raw ham, she looked even angrier.

I would not care about other’s countenance, and continued helping myself.

The Knight family’s meal was so delicious. I had to enjoy myself during these months.

But when lowering my head to eat something, I always felt it was hot above my head.

I knew it was Calvin sitting opposite who was looking at me with his beady eyes.

I noticed that he didn’t say anything from morning until now, very silent.

In my opinion, he was never a silent person. Although he was not funny, sometimes he would make me

laugh.

But today he was abnormally silent.

He was looking and I was eating.

After having the breakfast, I intended to take Zofia to walk around the city.

Now I had so much money, and could buy her what she liked. I would also buy some good things, such

as abalones and shark’s fins, to ask her to take them back to my parents.

But as soon as I finished eating, Georgia gave me an assignment.

"Before Brooke had child, I have been to the temple to present a petition, and now he has a child so I

have to go to redeem the petition. Go with me for the next time."

"Where is the temple?"

"Temple of Great Mercy."

I reckoned that it would take several hours by car because the Temple of Great Mercy was not in this

city. Couldn’t we come back within today?

However, Zofia had to go back tomorrow. She only asked for two days’ leave.

I grinned, "Mom, I really want to go with you, but when you went to the temple to present a petition, I

was not Brooke’s wife. Now you have to take another person there, otherwise I am afraid the Buddha

will be unpleased."

I was so witty, and I admired myself when I had a good idea.

Georgia was really thinking carefully about my pretext.

A Buddhist cared a lot, especially the Buddha’s delight or not.

I was not talking nonsense, and what I said had something to do with it.

"Mom, I will go with you today." Brooke put down the chopsticks and pulled out the chair. He looked

down at me, "You will go to the hospital today, yes? I will have driver take you there."

He got me out of trouble, but I didn’t feel grateful to him.

I knew he was afraid that I would talk nonsense to his mother when I was with her.

Sure enough, I would say anything as I liked because I didn’t want to live together with him to an old

age.

After having the breakfast, we were not allowed to leave until Master Knight left the table.

It was necessary to respect the elders, so I waited patiently until Master Knight finished eating.

Master Knight had white and neat teeth, and I seriously suspected that the teeth were false.

After the breakfast, Brooke accompanied Georgia back to the room to prepare the tribute used to

redeem the petition.

I also stood up and planned to go upstairs, hand on the full belly, to take my handbag and grab of the

cheque of 888,888 to draw money out of the bank and then go shopping.

Calvin was sitting across from me all the time. When I was about to turn around to leave, he called out,

"Josephine."

I turned back, "Why?"

"In the Knight family, you can find me if anything needed, and you can ask me if you have any doubt."

Huh, I was really grateful to him and even all his family.

He was really women’s good friend, so considerate.

I pointed at Fairy next to him, "Your wife’s face is darkening. Just care about her mood. I have my

husband, so there is no need for you to worry about me."

I held my waist with both hands, "Ouch, there was too much exercise in bed last night, which made me

feel uncomfortable all over."
