Me Before You

Chapter 897

Just a slap changed the whole atmosphere. There was pin-drop silence and the atmosphere turned gloomier.

Anna looked at her hand that she just used to slap him and regretted her impulsive act. On the other side, John Peter was just standing there in a daze, maintaining his posture, motionlessly.

After a while, Anna opened her mouth, "well, John Peter, I..."

"Do you hate me so much?" She was about to say something but John Peter interrupted her. He turned his face sullenly and the red color on his face was un-ignorable.

"What?" Anna was stunned for a while, then she quickly denied, "John Peter, no, I don’t..."

"No? Don’t you hate me? Then what does this slap mean?" John Peter again interrupted Anna’s words.

"Forget it, since you don’t want to believe, then you can think whatever you want." In front of his stubborn accusation, Anna felt helpless. She just said this, turned, and continued to walk upstairs.

John Peter stared at her resolute back, and tightly clenched his fist.

For her sake, he gave up studying abroad. He heard that his uncle had divorced her, just thought of her pitiful appearance, he rebelliously decided to come back. Even when his father lost his temper, he didn’t regret his decision. Because of all these matters, his mother fell ill.

Just because for her, he didn’t care about any other thing. He never thought that she would treat him like this and even slap him on the face.

Anna was just shocked by her impulsive act. But John Peter was feeling broken-hearted. Because in his whole life, no one ever dared to touch him except Charles Peter, but she slapped him on the face.

With these thoughts, John Peter angrily raised his head and looked at Anna’s back, going upstairs. A certain kind of bitterness spread in his heart and he rushed upstairs.

On the other side, Anna was regretting that she slapped John Peter. Even though she felt a little uneasy, but she had a second thought that as his Uncle’s wife, she should not have any more entanglement with him. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

However, when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching her, she was shocked. Then she looked at John Peter who was coming towards her, but before she could respond, her lips were blocked by his lips…

"He is kissing me without taking my consent!"

This was the first thought that flashed in Anna’s mind while she was kissed by him, and then she tried hard to push him away. But John Peter’s strength was so strong that no matter how she pushed, she couldn’t get rid of him.

The feeling of being touched by his lips made Anna extremely angry. She felt that she couldn’t get rid of him just by struggling. So, she stretched out her foot and trampled John Peter’s feet.

"Ah!" John Peter screamed and finally let her go.

Anna glared at him indignantly and shouted, "John Peter! Do you know what on earth you’re doing? Even if you can’t remember anything, just remember that I am your aunt. Have you thought about your uncle’s feelings when you did this to me? You are really pathetic."

In front of Anna’s accusation, instead of feeling ashamed or guilty, John Peter smiled indifferently, "What? Are you angry? Didn’t you just enjoy this kiss? Anna, you’d better be honest. In fact, you haven’t forgotten me, right?"

John Peter’s behavior was unbearable for Anna. She rushed to him and raised her hand to slap him again. However, when she was about to slap him, her wrist was grabbed by him.

"So, you want to slap me again? Come on, slap me." John Peter seemed to have lost his mind.

Anna glared at him angrily, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "John Peter, you were not like this before. Your today’s behavior made me feel so strange, like I never got to know your true self."

John Peter sarcastically laughed at her, "Strange? Anna, it’s you who forced me to become strange. Do you know why I preferred you over all those beautiful girls in the school? That’s because your eyes have always been pure. I felt that you are different. But after I learned that you married my uncle just for money, everything changed. Don’t you only want money? I also have money. Although I don’t have as much as my uncle, still I think it is enough to satisfy you. Come to me, I’ll give it to you."

While saying this, he stretched out his hand, took out the money from his pocket, and threw it on Anna’s face.

Anna couldn’t help but burst into tears. She didn’t expect that in John Peter’s eyes, she was a girl who can even sell herself for money. Although the purpose of her marriage with Daniel Taylor was related to money, still, she expected that people would also see her efforts. She never expected that the last layer of her protective shell would be ruthlessly torn by John Peter.

John Peter looked into her mournful eyes, suddenly regained his senses, and looked at the money scattered around her. He panicked and wanted to go to her, to explain his behavior, but he was just bewildered.

However, as soon as he tried to go to her, Anna shouted, "Stop!"

"Anna, I..." John Peter saw her facial expressions and tried to explain, but he was interrupted by Anna’s sudden glare.

"You don’t need to explain anything. John Peter, I know. It’s too late to say anything now, but I still want to say. I don’t deny that I married Sir for money. But even if I did so, what problem do you have? I paid him back with my sincerity and loyalty. Even if this sincerity is something extremely despicable in your eyes, I don’t care, because the only person I care about is him and he believes in me. And when it comes to you, I have already said it, but today, I want to say it again. John Peter, you are just a selfish and arrogant man. I’m glad that we broke up at that time."

Anna said so much in one breath, turned around, rushed into her bedroom, and locked the door.

There was no movement outside the door for a long time.

After that, the door was knocked on by John Peter, "Anna, open the door. How can you call me selfish and arrogant? Come out and make it clear."

In the room, Anna was crying silently. She didn’t think that she was so filthy and cheap in the eyes of her first love…

After a while, finally, there was no movement outside the door.

Anna has been sitting on the ground. The coldness of the floor has penetrated into her skin and it made her feel extremely cold.

Suddenly she thought of something, got up quickly, and went to the bed. She immediately covered herself with a quilt and murmured to herself, "No, I can’t be so foolish again. The baby must be feeling cold. I’m not alone now. I have to protect my child. Yes, my child."

At the same time, Anna felt an obvious belly movement, and she exclaimed in surprise, "it’s moving. The baby is moving. He can feel his mother’s emotions."

After thinking about her baby, Anna was feeling much better. She gently stroked her belly, and whispered, "baby, you’re too sensible. Don’t worry, mom will take good care of you. I won’t let you get hurt. Not even a little bit."

In a mood of quiet serenity, Anna gradually fell asleep. But when she was half asleep, she thought of Daniel Taylor, "I don’t know how sir will react when he gets to know about John Peter, will he be as angry as me?"
