Me Before You

Chapter 17

"Do you like my uncle?"

Anna Stark's words made John Stunned.

"Obviously, I like him." Anna calmly replied.

She had a relationship with Daniel Taylor. She was married to him. She could not even think of doing anything bad to him.

And for John Peter, she has already decided not to like him since the day she came back from Claire Ashley’s home.

Anna Stark's confession that she likes Daniel Taylor made John Peter's heart ached. She said she liked her uncle. It obviously meant that the person she likes was no more him!

He recalled that Claire told him that Anna Stark didn’t like him. She was with him because he was rich. She also said that Anna Stark had contact with another person.

So that man was, his uncle?

Although John Peter and Anna Stark have broken up, in his heart, he still liked Anna Stark. Now, he had realized that his past feelings had been totally denied by Anna and that everything was false.

His heart felt an uncontrollable pain.

"For how long you have been together?" He coldly asked a question.

Anna Stark was so angry with his question and his tone. She said deliberately, "We have been together for a long time. We were together before the holidays. I avoided you because of him."

No matter what she said, John Peter won't believe her. He just wanted to misunderstand her, so she let him completely misunderstand her.

"Anna Stark!"

John Peter did not expect Anna Stark to betray him and confessed it so bravely. He clenched his hands into a fist and looked into Anna Stark's eyes. He didn’t say anything and slammed the door.

When the manager saw that John Peter had taken Anna Stark to the dressing room, he was afraid of something bad, so he was waiting outside all the time.

When John Peter came out, he hurriedly asked, "Are you ok, young master?"

"I don't want to see her here again!" John Peter said, turned around and left.

The manager wiped his sweat, went to the dressing room and glanced at Anna Stark. He recalled John Peter's expression and order.

The manager helplessly said, "Anna Stark, you are fired." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Anna Stark knew that she had offended John Peter. She may not be able to get along in the hotel. But she didn't expect the dismissal at the spot.

...

"John Peter!" Claire Ashley knew that Anna Stark worked here. So she always wanted to come to the restaurant to humiliate her. But today, when she came here she saw John Peter.

"Why are you here?" she looked at John Peter and was a little surprised.

"This is my family’s hotel. I came here to have a look."

"Ah! Great." Claire was happy to know that. However, what she thought that Anna Stark also worked here she got worried.

If they meet? She knew that John Peter didn’t forget Anna Stark, completely. If they kept on meeting each other and stay close to each other, they can be together again.

Their old love can revive.

She couldn’t let her previous efforts to go in vain.

John Peter smiled and took out his hand that was held by Claire and said, "I'm a little busy. We'll talk after work."

There was no work. He just wanted to see Anna Stark's reaction after being dismissed!
