Me Before You novel Chapter 138

His care filled her heart with warmth...

-

Before going down to eat. Daniel Taylor looked at her wounds again and reminded her seriously to take more care of herself.

John Peter also came to the dining hall.

Olivia Taylor looked at him and didn’t see Claire Ashley with him, so she asked him, "Where is your girlfriend?"

Claire Ashley mostly spent a complete day when she came to visit Taylor’s house at weekends. She was still here in the afternoon. At this time, Olivia Taylor was a little surprised to see John Peter coming alone for dinner.

"She is not my girlfriend." John Peter looked very serious.

"Did you break up with her?" Olivia Taylor looked at John Peter’s upset appearance and noticed his sad eyes.

Olivia Taylor thought that she had put too much pressure on her son. She wanted to discuss this with John Peter. But when John Peter saw Anna Stark and Daniel Taylor coming there he lowered her head.

He himself told Daniel Taylor about his and Anna Stark’s past relationships. Now he felt very embarrassed to face Daniel Taylor. He really disappointed his uncle.

Olivia Taylor looked at Daniel Taylor and asked, "Why you came back earlier?"

"I have completed my work before time, so I decided to come back." Daniel Taylor replied calmly, without mentioning John Peter’s story.

"You must be missing your darling wife Anna! Mom used to worry that you will not love your wife and will not take care of her. But I am very happy to see you like this. You really take good care of your wife." Olivia Taylor joked.

"..." Daniel Taylor looked at her sister, who was really enjoying teasing him.

Anna Stark eyes swept over John Peter, she ignored him and politely greeted Olivia Taylor.

Olivia Taylor smiled and asked Daniel Taylor, "I heard that Claire Ashley went to meet you. What did she say to you?"

"Nothing important." Daniel Taylor said indifferently.

Anna Stark noticed Daniel Taylor’s attitude and understood that he didn’t want to mention anything about Claire Ashley.

They talked about some random things and after a while, Daniel’s father and mother came and everyone started eating.

Daniel’s mother looked at Anna Stark and asked, "Anna’s university is about to start, right Anna?"

"Yes, this Monday I have to report there."

"John Peter will also have to go this Monday. I’ll go to drop him. Anna, why don’t you come with us?" Olivia Taylor suggested.

"No." John Peter without waiting for Anna’s reply refused to take Anna with him.

Olivia Taylor was really angry with John Peter’s behavior, "John, what’s wrong with you? How can you be so disobedient? We have to go there anyway, what’s the problem with taking Anna with us?"

"Sister. I’ll go myself." Anna Stark took a look at John Peter. In fact, she also didn’t want to go with him.

Olivia Taylor said, "You also have to take your luggage. It will be difficult for you to go alone."

"Jack Smith will drop her." Daniel Taylor interrupted their discussion and saved Anna from unnecessary explanations.

Olivia Taylor couldn’t help laughing, "Okay! I think my brother has already made arrangements for his wife."

Olivia Taylor thought that it will be much assuring for Daniel Taylor to let Jack Smith drop Anna.

Anna Stark also knew that Daniel Taylor didn’t want to embarrass her and John Peter.

-

The next day, Anna Stark went to the market bought some things that she will be needed for the university’s military training.

Every year, Jingzhou University held mandatory military training during the start of the academic year for newly admitted students. Anna wanted to prepare well for everything, so she packed her luggage well and put all the things that she will need there.

After that, she took a shower and lay down on the bed. She was a little excited to think that, tomorrow, she will join her university. She held the pillow, looked at Daniel Taylor, who was reading a book, and asked, "Sir, when you will sleep?"

In Taylor’s house, they have to stay in the same room, so they could not avoid lying in the same bed.

Daniel Taylor said, "I have some work, you sleep first."

Daniel Taylor didn’t look at Anna Stark. He kept reading his book. He was afraid that he would again lose his sleep due to this little girl.
