Me Before You

Chapter 19

"..." Anna Stark was scared. She took a sip of water and swallowed it without making any noise. She never thought that Daniel called John Peter here to ask about this matter.

How did he come to know about her part-time job?

How did he come to know that John Peter dismissed her?

Besides, when she came back home, he pretended that he didn't know anything.

John Peter looked at Anna Stark and thought in his mind, obviously, she told his uncle. He cursed her in his heart and didn't deny, "Yes, I did it."

Daniel Taylor looked at John Peter and said, "apologies to Anna."

"Uncle!" John Peter looked up at Daniel Taylor, "Anna, she..."

"Apologize!" Daniel Taylor calmly repeated. He didn't give him a chance to explain.

John Peter's face became very stiff. He looked at Anna Stark. His anger was rolling in his chest. His uncle wanted him to apologize to such a woman?

Why?

Why does he apologize?

"I am saying for the last time, apologize." Daniel Taylor looked at John Peter.

Anna Stark was her wife. He will not let her suffer any more grievances.

John Peter offended Anna Stark's twice and he has tolerated. But he couldn’t tolerate today’s incident.

…

The atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Daniel Taylor didn’t speak, and Anna Stark looked at him. Only because of Daniel Taylor, John Peter apologized to her.

Anna was not happy with John’s apology. John was not willing to apologize but due to Daniel’s pressure, he had to.

She looked at Daniel Taylor who has been quietly sitting beside her and felt a little nervous. She remembered that Jack Smith also got frightened by Daniel’s anger.

Now she had a little idea that his anger must be really frightening.

"Sir." Anna Stark carefully stretched her hand and touched his arm.

"What's the matter?" Daniel Taylor asked.

"Are you angry?" There was some fear in her tone, Daniel Taylor turned around and looked at her.

He held her hand and gently patted on her head. "I'm sorry, that you have to face such an incident."

Anna Stark said, "I'm ok. But how do you know about the hotel?" She couldn't figure it out.

"I am a farsighted person. I have a long eye. I know everything." Daniel Taylor looked at her and laughed.

"I don't believe it!" Anna Stark said, "If you can see anything, then I am a clairaudient."

"Then you say, how do I know?"

"Someone must have told you!" Though she didn’t know who. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Daniel Taylor looked at her and smiled, "You are not stupid."

Of course, the hotel staff told him about it. Jack Smith specifically told them to take care of Anna Stark. When Anna Stark was dismissed, they reported that to them.

Anna Stark asked, "Do you think I shouldn't go to work?"

She didn’t know that the hotel belonged to John Peter's family. In the past, John Peter didn't tell her either. If she had known it, she would not have gone there for work.

Daniel Taylor said, "There is no shame in self-reliance."

Daniel Taylor's word encouraged Anna Stark. She smiled and said, "Uncle, what do you want to eat at night? Can I make it for you?"

Daniel Taylor said, "There is a maid at home to cook food."

"Her cooking is different. I'm good at cooking."
