Me Before You novel Chapter 196

It was Anna’s first meeting with John Peter’s father, Daniel Taylor’s brother-in-law. She should also call him brother-in-law.

He didn’t look very young. His face had shallow wrinkles, but he had a fine personality. It can be seen that when he was young, he must be handsome and had left a good impression on the people around him.

He sat beside Olivia Taylor and John Peter, looked at John Peter, and was a little strict to him. "I heard that these days, you didn’t listen much to your mother?"

"This is not true." John Peter thought he had always been very obedient.

Charles Peter was disappointed, "I heard that you misbehaved with your little aunt? I was a little busy and in my absence, you forget the values that I taught you? What does a man look like if he doesn’t respect women?"

John Peter didn’t speak.

In Anna’s case, he was very aggrieved, but he didn’t even have an excuse. If it was in the past, before Daniel Taylor’s accident, things can be different. But now, the whole family just worries about Daniel Taylor.

Olivia Taylor looked at her son, felt a little distressed, and said to her husband, "Don’t scold him here."

Anna and Daniel Taylor came in. Charles Peter got up and said hello to Daniel Taylor, "Daniel, long time no see."

Daniel Taylor said, "Brother-in-law."

Charles Peter’s eyes fell on Anna again, "So she is my younger sister!"

Daniel Taylor looked at Anna, "Anna this is brother-in-law."

Anna nodded at him, "Hello, brother in law."

They greeted each other and sat down.

Charles Peter looked at John Peter, who had not spoken yet and then looked at Anna who just came in and ignored him. He looked at his son, "My words made you this much unhappy that you forget to greet your uncle and aunt?"

John Peter stood up and nodded to Anna and Daniel. "Uncle, Aunt."

After saying hello, he sat back. It seemed that he was afraid of his father.

Anna had never seen John Peter like this. In front of his father, there is no usual indifference and aloofness in his behavior. He did whatever his father asked him to do. Anna quietly sat beside Daniel Taylor. Today’s main guest was Charles Peter. Everyone’s attention was on him.

Anna was just a safe eater.

While eating, John Peter looked at Anna.

She was right in front of him. But he felt that there were mountains and rivers between him and her. He can’t cross them and can’t get close to her anymore.

Anna also felt John Peter’s gaze. She whispered to Daniel Taylor, "I have to go to the bathroom."

She got up and escaped.

She hid in the bathroom cubicle, took out her mobile phone and started scrolling. At home, she did not dare to use her mobile phone for a long time in front of Sir. But here she can use it, after all, he could not see her here!

Coincidentally, there was a familiar voice at the door. "Claire, did you break up with John Peter?"

While talking, there was the sound of running water from the tap outside.

Claire Ashley looked at the mirror, checked her makeup and said, "No! It’s just a fight."

Yes, it’s just a fight.

In her opinion, she and John Peter quarreled because of that bitch, Anna.

On this National Day event, she took part in a dance program, and she believed when she becomes popular, John Peter won’t be able to ignore her again. Although her academic performance was not as good as Anna’s, she had many other areas where she can beat Anna.

She will let John Peter see her good points and let him know that she is the girl he should like.
