Me Before You novel Chapter 132

Anna’s eyes were stuck at Daniel Taylor’s face.

He always said to her that she is his wife. He has always been so kind to her. But now, he was behaving like a stranger.

Anna Stark looked at Daniel Taylor and said, "I’m sorry, I don’t want to. I’ve broken up with him. It is an honor for me to be your wife and to stay with you. But if you don’t like me anymore, I can leave you and this house. But I want to make it clear that no one has any right to force me to be with anyone."

Anna said what she wanted to, and she was determined. She has made up her mind, now even Daniel Taylor forced her to stay with John Peter, she decided to refuse him.

John Peter’s eyes widened, and he stared at Anna Stark. "Anna Stark, are you stupid?"

John Peter thought, he was just helping her, but she behaved as he was forcing her!

Anna Stark looked at John Peter angrily but she didn’t say a word to him. She looked at Daniel Taylor and said again, "If Sir has nothing to say then I will leave now."

There was no space for John Peter in her life and heart. Even her eyes didn’t stay at his face. What John Peter had done today meant nothing to her.

Anna Stark was about to leave when she heard Daniel Taylor’s voice, "wait."

Anna stopped and looked back.

Daniel Taylor looked at John Peter and said, "You have heard Anna’s answer. She doesn’t want to be with you."

John Peter’s eyes were filled with helplessness.

Daniel Taylor paused and spoke again, "John, it was you who let her down and made her sad! You’re the one who broke up with her! You are the one who betrayed her and cheated her with her good friend! Now you came here to request me to help you out, so that you can be with her again? Don’t you think you are taking her life as a joke? Let me tell you, it’s not funny at all."

John Peter was shocked, he looked at Daniel Taylor and found that Daniel Taylor’s eyes have become very cold. His uncle has always been like this. One couldn’t guess what his next reaction will be.

Anna Stark also looked at Daniel Taylor and many questions flashed in her mind.

He was speaking in her favor?

Besides, why she felt that he already knew everything?

How did he get to know that John Peter and Claire Ashley betrayed her?

Daniel Taylor said to John Peter, "I don’t want to talk about it again. Go out. I have something to say to your aunt."

The last words, "your aunt" completely revealed Daniel Taylor’s mind and thoughts. He will not leave Anna Stark, because of John Peter and Anna Stark's past relationship!

John Peter looked at Anna Stark and wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a single. He had no options than to turn around and walk outside.

When John was about to leave the room, he heard Daniel Taylor saying, "Close the door while going out."

-

Claire Ashley was waiting for John Peter in the corridor. When she saw John Peter coming out, she rushed to him and asked, "What happened?"

John Peter wanted to ignore her. He didn’t reply and went straight to his room.

Claire Ashley followed him and looked at his angry face, "Uncle scolded you?"

One can expect anything from Daniel Taylor. And it was totally reasonable to scold John after knowing his past relationship with Anna stark. But Claire Ashley had no idea that this sentence will be like rubbing salt on John Peter’s wounds.

John Peter glared at Claire Ashley and shouted, "Get out!"

If Daniel Taylor had really scolded him and refused him, maybe he was feeling better. But, Daniel Taylor did not scold him. He gave Anna Stark the right to choose. And even after getting the opportunity, Anna Stark didn’t choose him.

For the first time, Claire Ashley saw him this much angry and she was in the state of shock when John Peter walked forward and slammed the door in her face.

In the study, Anna Stark stood still and quietly stared at Daniel Taylor for long.
