Me Before You

Chapter 24

However, Claire Ashley was very happy. John Peter finally agreed to introduce Claire to his family and it showed that she had stepped into Taylor’s family.

As Claire sat down, Jack Smith opened the door and Daniel Taylor came in.

Daniel's mother stood up quickly, "So you are finally home."

"Mom." Daniel Taylor looked at his mom and smiled.

"Why Anna didn't come with you?" Daniel's mother looked at Daniel Taylor he was alone, she was very worried. She thought that because of that incident with John, Anna didn't want to come back here.

"She is just answering a phone call. She will be here in a moment," Jack Smith explained.

Daniel Taylor glanced at Claire Ashley and frowned slightly. "Are there any guests at home?"

"Oh, this is John's girlfriend. It's her first visit today." Daniel's mother said with a smile.

Claire Ashley hurriedly stood up and said, "Hello uncle."

Daniel Taylor didn't see her at all and said, "I'm a little unwell. I'll go to have a rest."

He didn't like to see or meet outsiders. Especially after his accident.

Claire Ashley was embarrassed. But no one cared about her, and all the attention was on Daniel Taylor.

"Okay, fine, you to go to your room and rest," Daniel's mother spoke softly. "I have asked a very good doctor to come here today for your checkup." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Jack Smith pushed Daniel Taylor's wheelchair to his room. Olivia Taylor also followed them. She felt that Daniel Taylor was still unhappy. He didn't answer her calls in the last two days.

Of course, she had to make up for her son's mistake.

…

Anna Stark was still answering the phone outside. It's Aiden Stark on the call, "Sister, where are you? When will you come back?"

"I won't be back for the time being."

"Come back and meet us. Mom is looking for you everywhere!"

"Didn't she meet the Clarke family last time? What did they say?" That day her mother called her many times, but she didn't answer her phone call.

"She had refused that proposal. Now she's just a little worried about you, she is afraid that if you encounter any problem there? Sister, why don't you meet her?"

"..." Anna Stark didn't speak.

It was true that her mother was biased, but it was also true that she had raised her for so many years. When she heard that her mother was worried about her she felt a little uncomfortable.

"If you don't want to meet mom, let me have a look. If I meet you, I can tell mom that you are well. After all, you are my sister."

Aiden Stark had been good to Anna Stark, and she knew this thing.

"I will tell you when I got some free time. Now I have something important to do."

"Well then, I'll come to meet you when you will be free."

Anna Stark hung up and went inside. She looked for Daniel Taylor but didn’t find him instead she saw John Peter and Claire Ashley there.

Claire Ashley was cutting fruits. After cutting, he served that to John Peter. "Come on, eat it."

From the way they get along, Anna Stark was sure that they had been together for a long time. Long before she broke up with John Peter.

She didn't want to admit, but she had to admit that she was betrayed by her boyfriend and best friend.

She was stupid enough that she thought John Peter was her boyfriend, while John Peter had already started a relation with Claire Ashley and even Claire's mother treated him as her son-in-law.

Now, Claire Ashley also came to visit John's family. Everything was very clear.

In the living room, there were only John Peter and Claire Ashley. Daniel's parents left because they had some work to do.

When Claire saw Anna Stark coming in. She stood up and called her name surprisingly, "Anna Stark?"

Anna Stark looked at Claire Ashley and didn't respond.

Claire Ashley came near to her, "what are you doing here? This is not a place where you can come. Do you know whose house is this?"
