Me Before You

Chapter 31

"Often help you in doing homework?" Daniel Taylor raised his head, looked at Claire Ashley, and asked, "You were very weak in studies?"

"..." Claire Ashley was deliberately praising Anna Stark to show their good relationship in front of Taylor's, so that she can get some protocol as well.

But after listening to Daniel Taylor's words she immediately became quiet.

Anna Stark looked at Daniel Taylor and noticed that he intentionally insulted Claire Ashley.

Claire Ashley still tried to smile, and continued, "No, I was good, but not as good as Anna. Anna is smart and good-looking. There were many boys in the school that liked her, chased her."

Anna Stark was quietly eating her food but after hearing Claire's words she bit her tongue. Claire Ashley was praising her, and everything she said before was nonsense and fake. But now she said that many boys liked her and chased her?

Did she think that it was normal to say such things in front of someone's husband and in-laws?

In fact, there were no such boys.

Anna Stark knew that Claire Ashley said all this to use it as an apple of discord between her and her husband.

She looked at Claire Ashley and said, "Not so many. There was only one. But later, you said that you like him. Didn't I give him to you?"

Anna Stark said calmly, looked at John Peter, smiled and continued eating her food.

Claire Ashley didn't know what to say next and her face turned pale, "Don't say that I robbed something from you, where can I have this ability." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Although it was a fact that she had snatched John Peter from Anna Stark, in front of John Peter she always played the role of Anna Stark's good friend.

Anna Stark knew that it was important to answer to stop her, "Don't be too modest. Aren't you best at robbing and snatching other people's things?"

Anna Stark didn't need to play safe. At that moment she was not worried about her personality. She didn't care what Taylor's family would think of her. But she knew if she let Claire say all this nonsense she will be in trouble, sooner or later.

But Claire's situation and position was totally different, she also wanted to maintain the image of a very decent and good girl in front of Taylor's.

Claire noticed that she couldn't win from Anna Stark. She had to use any other way, she smiled and wiped her tears. "Anna, I always take you as a friend. How can you say that to me? I was just praising you."

An enemy who was disguised as a friend!

Claire deliberately said this sentence, so that everyone could feel that she was weak and sympathized with her.

Anna Stark really hated her habit of acting like an angel.

Anna angrily looked at her, put a fake smile and said, "Praising me? Sorry, I just didn't understand. I thought you wanted Sir to misunderstand me that I had relations with others in school. If I said something that hurts you, I apologize to you."

Anna Stark apologized sincerely. At least, in everyone's eyes, she cleared everything.

By Anna's brief and clear explanation the situation completely changed. Now no one can blame her for making Claire Ashley cry. Instead, everyone felt that Claire Ashley was cunning, she deliberately said these things because she had bad intentions for Anna in her heart.

Daniel Taylor pushed away his plate, "I won't eat it."

Daniel's mother looked at him with concern, "Why you didn't eat?"

Today they made a special meal for Daniel because he came home after a week.

"I am not hungry." Daniel Taylor looked at Claire and said, "When there are any guests at the house don't call me to come."

This sentence was obviously aimed at Claire Ashley. Whatever she said had made him unhappy.

Daniel Taylor said, "Anna, send me back to the room."

"Okay." Anna Stark quickly stood up and they both left the dining hall.

As soon as Daniel Taylor left, the atmosphere of the dining hall became strange.

Olivia Taylor glanced at Claire Ashley. She was very angry with this girl and didn't want to say anything to her.

She looked at John Peter, "baby, after the meal, send your girlfriend back first. Your uncle is back. Don't bring anyone home. You know your uncle doesn't like to meet new people."
