No One But You

She was stating it instead of questioning, so it was her conclusion rather than asking me.

I kept sticking the lobster shell with a fork. It was too hard and the fork was a little blunt, so I didn’t manage to pierce the shrimp shell after sticking it for a long time. I could only throw away the fork, staring at Mrs. Knight with my hands cupping my cheeks.

She was looking at me in the same way, “We met three months ago. Do you still remember what I said to you before I left?”

Of course I did, she said I didn’t love Calvin.

But I was silent.

“Now I take it back. You have fallen for Calvin.”

She had a unique perspective. Though she appeared to be gentle and mild, she had a pair of sharp eyes.

I smiled and still didn’t say anything. She picked up my cup and drank up all the lemonade, “I know you’ve already known who I am. Yes, I am the concubine of Calvin’s father. But do you know why I put myself in a position like this, without a status?”

“Do not tell me it’s because of love.” I couldn’t help saying it. “You are in love with his father, so even though you know he is married, you still stay with him without being recognized. It’s a touching reason, but I don’t approve your behavior.” I shrugged.

If a man loved a woman, he would give her everything he could, including a marriage.

If the man couldn’t even give her marriage, it meant he didn’t love her at all.

As a concubine, Mrs. Knight must have been wronged in the family. But since Calvin’s father accepted his woman being treated like this, there would be no love at all.

A lot of thoughts were going in my mind, but I didn’t say a word.

It wouldn’t change much even if I spoke, and she wouldn’t change her life just because of a few words I made.

She seemed to lose the interest of talking to me and suddenly reached out to shake my hands, “Anyway, I think you made a mistake.”
