Me Before You

Chapter 7

"You don't have to worry about Jack Smith’s words."

Anna Stark didn't say anything but the grip of the hand holding the quilt became tighter and her eyes gradually turned red.

Daniel Taylor looked at Anna and says, "If you want to cry, please cry. You don't need to bear it in front of me."

Just a simple sentence made Anna lose her control and her tears came out.

"Sir..."

She cried so long that she has some hyperventilation. Daniel Taylor saw that she cried badly, and a pair of big palms gently patted on her back. Although she didn't speak, the silent care made Anna Stark cry more and more. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

After all, Anna was just a little girl. She should have been in her carefree age. But she was facing so much. She was okay with the fact that she has no one to comfort her and to care for her. As soon as someone comforted her, she felt more grievances.

Daniel Taylor can't help feeling some heartache.

Before that, he wondered why Anna Stark came to borrow money from him to go to university. After hearing about Anna Stark's family, he realized that her family had treated her so badly. Now that she has married him, Daniel Taylor would not let her suffer any more grievances.

After crying for long, Anna Stark wiped her nose with a tissue paper and finally stopped crying. She looked at Daniel Taylor's eyes and felt embarrassed.

That was the first time she had cried like this in front of someone. She secretly looked at Daniel Taylor and saw that he was not looking at her. She smiled, took the medicine, lie under the quilt and then fell asleep.

A good sleep.

When she woke up the next day, she remembered that she had left some important stuff at home such as her cell phone. She wanted to get back her things. She asked Jack Smith to take her home.

As she stepped into her house, her mother came to her and scolded her, "You wicked girl. You don't want to marry. But you think it’s okay to make a relationship with a wild man and you didn’t return overnight? You have ruined my reputation." Her mother-heart was bursting with anger. She remembered yesterday’s incident. Jack Smith regardless of her disapproval took Anna Stark away.

Anna Stark was going to marry in a few days. But at this critical moment, such an accident has happened. How can she not be angry? In this condition, she will lose those apartments!

Anna Stark ignored her and went straight to her room.

Her mother followed her and said, "I won't blame you for yesterday. If you come back. If you stay at home and marry according to my will. I will forget yesterday’s incident as it didn't happen..."

Anna Stark bowed her head and packed up her bags. She didn't care what she was talking about.

Seeing Anna Stark packing things, her mother was in a panic. She walked closer and threw all her clothes on the floor and screamed, "Why, do you want to run away from home?"

"Yes!" Anna Stark stood upright and said, "I just want to run away from this home! From today on, you don't have to worry about me! "

"Don’t care? I raised you and now it’s your turn to do something for us. But you are leaving your parents behind like an un-filial daughter. You have to pay us back the money that we have spent in raising you all these years! "

Anna Stark didn't expect her mother to say such a thing. Her heart was torn again. It was so hard that she couldn't cry.

"Money... I'll pay you back!" She decided that when she went to university she will do a part-time job as well and she believes that she can earn enough money to pay back for this upbringing. "As for marriage, you yourself get married! "She said and went out with her suitcase in her hand.

"You!" Her mother was very angry. She went to stop Anna Stark and slapped her.

Anna Stark was stunned. She froze there. The strength of the slap was so much that she fell on the ground.

Aiden Stark, who was hiding nearby, came to stop their mother and said to Anna, "elder sister, you go first, I will handle this!"

Anna Stark had no time to think about anything. She picked up her luggage and left home in a hurry. Jack Smith's car was still there, she opened the door and sat in. Her heart was beating fast.
