Me Before You

Chapter 8

The car reached the villa.

Before getting off the car, she arranged her hair well and then went in.

There was only Daniel Taylor in the villa. Anna Stark looks at Daniel Taylor sitting in front of the window. A lonely man, her heart was pinched hard. She was thinking that she had just left her home, and she would be alone forever. Fortunately, she still has him.

She pulled on a smile and walked up to him and said, "Sir, I'm back."

Daniel Taylor turned around and smiled at her.

But the smile stopped abruptly after seeing the injury on Anna Stark's face. "Your face?"

Anna Stark hurriedly lowered his head and covered her face. "It's nothing serious..."

"Beaten?"

"Um." She said in a muffled voice, "my mother hit me."

Daniel Taylor's hands were a little tight.

Anna Stark added, "It doesn't matter. It's normal for me to be beaten by my mother. When I was a child, I was often beaten because I was naughty..." She tried to look like she didn't care, but tears in her eyes betrayed her.

Daniel Taylor softly said. "Come here."

Anna Stark obediently walked forward, squatted beside his wheelchair, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Daniel Taylor bowed his head to help her wipe away her tears. "If someone touches you next time, no matter your father or your mother, I will not spare him."

"Sir..." Anna Stark's cold heart was warm.

Jack Smith, who had been watching the scene quietly, left the living room. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he will be scolded by Mr. Taylor. It was the first time that he saw Mr. Taylor treating a woman so tenderly. It turned out that Mr. Taylor didn't speak at ordinary times, but he was so soft inside.

...

"Tomorrow, we will go back to Jingzhou."

Jingzhou? Isn't that the hometown of Daniel Taylor? Anna Stark was a little surprised.

Daniel Taylor caught her look and frowned, "Why, don't you want to go back with me?"

"No, I am just... afraid of not being liked... "

Taylor’s family was a famous family in the country. Maybe they will be upset to see her.

“Girls of her age mostly see many famous TV dramas, which show the images of the evil mother-in-law and the relatives and it deeply rooted in the hearts of young people.” Anna Stark was afraid that if she went to Daniel Taylor’s house, she will be bullied by the evil mother-in-law every day...

And her life will become hell…

Daniel Taylor guessed the little girl's mind and jokingly said, "You don't have to worry. My family is very easy to get along with."

Anna Stark blushed and whispered, "Well, I'll go back with you."

Now she is married to him. She has to go back to Jingzhou.

Because she was still having a little fever, she was dizzy and was asleep on the way back to Jingzhou. In addition to taking care of her, Daniel Taylor was busy receiving calls from his family.

When his family came to know that Daniel is coming back to Jingzhou, they were very happy. In particular, Daniel Taylor's family's mind was tied to him.

"Daniel Taylor, where are you?"

"This is the fifth call." Daniel Taylor frowned.

"I don't care about it!" Olivia Taylor at the other end of the phone said with concern, "I heard that you were bringing your wife with you? Hurry up, come home. We want to meet her."

"Don't scare her." Daniel Taylor said, stretched his hand to move her hair from her lips.

"An innocent darling. We really want to see her." Olivia said again. But she was afraid that Daniel Taylor would get angry so she hung up.

Daniel Taylor was finally free. He reached out and gently tapped on Anna Stark’s back. Anna Stark rested on his thigh and slept soundly.
