Me Before You

Chapter 18

After finishing the work, Anna Stark went back to home. When she reached home, she found Daniel Taylor there. "Sir, you come back so early?"

Daniel Taylor was dressed in formal clothes. He had just come back.

"Yes," Daniel Taylor nodded, "You went out for shopping? Why did you come back so early?"

Anna Stark was embarrassed, but she answered him, "I don’t find it interesting, it’s not fun."

Although she had faced a lot of unpleasant things, she didn't want to let him know.

"Well, today we will go out for the meal."

"Okay."

When it was something related to eating, Anna Stark always felt happy. Whenever Daniel took her for dinner or lunch they always ate delicious food. She was a foodie and loved to eat good food.

They went to a restaurant. Anna Stark looked at the menu. The price of each dish was so high, she was shocked, "why everything is so expensive?"

Whenever they came out Daniel Taylor ordered the meal. This time, he asked her to order. Now she knew how much her rich husband had spent on those delicious dishes.

"You can order whatever you want without caring for the money." Daniel smiled and looked at Anna Stark.

"Well." Anna Stark said and looked at the menu. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

At the same time, John Peter entered the restaurant.

"How many people, sir?" The waiter asked.

"I'm looking for someone." John Peter said and went straight to Anna Stark's table.

When she came to them, John Peter clasped her fingers and knocked on the table.

Anna Stark thought it was the waiter so without raising her head she handed the menu to him and said. "I want this, this, and this..."

John Peter’s eyes were filled with disgust.

Anna was also stunned when she looked up, she quickly took back her hand.

"Uncle." Although John Peter was angry, he had to be polite in front of his uncle.

Daniel Taylor nodded.

It seemed that John Peter's appearance was not surprising.

Anna Stark was stunned. She observed the whole situation and guessed that they have already made an appointment.

Sure enough, after a moment she heard John Peter saying, "Uncle, what can I do for you?"

It was only because of Daniel Taylor that John Peter came here to have dinner with them.

Daniel Taylor didn't speak, he took a wet towel and carefully wiped Anna Stark’s hands. John Peter had never seen his Uncle like this before.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.

After helping Anna Stark wiping her hands, Daniel Taylor looked at John Peter and said, "I asked you to come here today because I have something to ask."

"Yes, uncle." John Peter was afraid of Daniel Taylor.

He noticed his uncle’s serious tone and nervously swallowed his saliva.

"I heard that you dismissed Anna from the hotel. Is that true?"
