Me Before You

Chapter 10

As if struck by thunder, John Peter stood there stiffly. His eyes were fixed on Anna Stark.

Olivia Taylor patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you looking at, son? Don’t you want to say hello?" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

John regained his senses, pointed to Anna Stark and said, "Don't tell me that she is my little aunt!"

Olivia Taylor patted him on the back of his head. "Yes, she's your aunt Anna Stark, don't call someone like this."

Normally, John Peter was modest and polite. Today, how can he behave like a fool? He was not polite at all.

Even though Olivia Taylor rebuked her son but she was still worried for her disabled brother. She fears that John Peter's impoliteness will make Daniel Taylor sad. Even more afraid to let Anna Stark misunderstood their Taylor family didn’t warmly welcome her. She didn’t want to make Anna Stark feel scared and angry.

John Peter tried but couldn’t call her his little aunt. He thought of an excuse, "she looked younger than me!"

In fact, she’s two months younger than him.

"No matter how young she looks but she is your aunt! You have a generation gap with her. You have to call her Aunt, and you should do it respectfully." Olivia Taylor really didn't understand what happened to John Peter. Why he suddenly became so stubborn that he didn't want to call her aunt.

She went close to him and whispered, "Do you want to make your uncle angry?"

John was even more worried. He shook his hands, turned around and left.

Olivia Taylor's face was surprised. She looked at Anna Stark and said with a smile, "Anna, don't take it to heart. John is a little shy. He doesn't mean to target you. We warmly welcome you to our family!"

Of course, Anna Stark knew the reason why John Peter refused to call her Aunt and she was not foolish enough to go deep into it. After all, it was something between her and John and they were already broken up. It will be embarrassing for them to explain it to everyone. It was better to keep it to themselves.

She nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. It doesn’t matter."

Olivia Taylor clapped her hand and said, "Anna, you are a good girl."

Olivia thought Anna was much better than that Isabella Brown!

Anna's face turned red by her praise. She didn't expect Daniel Taylor's sister to look like an elite woman but so easy to get along.

There was no such difficulty as she imagined. It seemed that they were really rich people. Daniel Taylor had already told her that his family is very easy to get along with. But she thought that he said this to comfort her. But now she has seen them with her own eyes.

While they were chatting, his mother and father came out from the kitchen with a lot of dishes in their hands.

Anna looked at them. They were wearing aprons with trays in their hands. No one can imagine that they were the President and President's wife of a multinational group. Anna Stark saw this and forgot to be nervous for a while. His family behaved so well with each other and she has just escaped from a cold family, her heart can't help admiring them.

"Anna, come and have a seat."

Daniel Taylor’s mother asked Anna Stark to come to the table. That was the first time she saw Anna Stark. She had a good feeling for this lovely girl in her heart.

Anna Stark was about to sit on the next chair, but Daniel Taylor holds her hand and says, "Sit next to me."

"Okay." Anna Stark sat beside him obediently.

Daniel’s mother saw it and smiled happily. After Daniel Taylor's accident, he mostly stayed alone and didn’t like to meet anyone. Even if their relatives try to come close to him, he felt annoyed. But now, he himself asked Anna Stark to sit beside him. His mother really liked it.
