Chapter 19
Chapter 19
"..." Anna Stark was scared. She took a sip of water and swallowed it without making any noise. She never thought that Daniel called John Peter here to ask about this matter. How did he come to know about her part-time job?
How did he come to know that John Peter dismissed her?
Besides, when she came back home, he pretended that he didn't know anything.
John Peter looked at Anna Stark and thought in his mind, obviously, she told his uncle. He cursed her in his heart and didn't deny, "Yes, I did it."
Daniel Taylor looked at John Peter and said, "apologies to Anna."
"Uncle!" John Peter looked up at Daniel Taylor, "Anna, she..."
"Apologize!" Daniel Taylor calmly repeated. He didn't give him a chance to explain.
John Peter's face became very stiff. He looked at Anna Stark. His anger was rolling in his chest. His uncle wanted him to apologize to such a woman? Why?
Why does he apologize?
"I am saying for the last time, apologize." Daniel Taylor looked at John Peter.
Anna Stark was his wife. He will not let her suffer any more grievances.
John Peter offended Anna Stark's twice and he has tolerated. But he couldn't tolerate today's incident.
The atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Daniel Taylor didn't speak, and Anna Stark looked at him. Only because of Daniel Taylor, John Peter apologized to her. Anna was not happy with John's apology. John was not willing to apologize but due to Daniel's pressure, he had to.
She looked at Daniel Taylor who has been quietly sitting beside her and felt a little nervous. She remembered that Jack Smith also got frightened by Daniel's anger. Now she had a little idea that his anger must be really frightening.
"Sir." Anna Stark carefully stretched her hand and touched his arm.
"What's the matter?" Daniel Taylor asked.
"Are you angry?" There was some fear in her tone, Daniel Taylor turned around and looked at her.
He held her hand and gently patted on her head. "I'm sorry, that you have to face such an incident."
Anna Stark said, "I'm ok. But how do you know about the hotel?" She couldn't figure it out.
"I am a farsighted person. I have a long eye. I know everything." Daniel Taylor looked at her and laughed.
"I don't believe it!" Anna Stark said, "If you can see anything, then I am a clairaudient."
"Then you say, how do I know?"
"Someone must have told you!" Though she didn't know who.
Daniel Taylor looked at her and smiled, "You are not stupid."
Of course, the hotel staff told him about it. Jack Smith specifically told them to take care of Anna Stark. When Anna Stark was dismissed, they reported that to them. Anna Stark asked, "Do you think I shouldn't go to work?"
She didn't know that the hotel belonged to John Peter's family. In the past, John Peter didn't tell her either. If she had known it, she would not have gone there for work. Daniel Taylor said, "There is no shame in self-reliance."
Daniel Taylor's word encouraged Anna Stark. She smiled and said, "Uncle, what do you want to eat at night? Can I make it for you?"
Daniel Taylor said, "There is a maid at home to cook food."
"Her cooking is different. I'm good at cooking."
Chapter 20
"Are you sure?" Daniel Taylor doubted what she said.
Anna Stark didn't like his doubtful tone, "I did it for you before, in the villa. You don't remember?"
"I forgot."
"..." Can we forget things in two months?
Anna Stark looked at him and asked, "Sir, you didn't know me before, did you?"
Daniel Taylor looked at Anna Stark. "Well, no."
The servant was hired by Jack Smith. He didn't care about these things. He replied honestly, but Anna Stark was hurt by his answer. He really didn't know her and she also saw him twice. They were like strangers.
Anna Stark looked at Daniel Taylor and asked, "If I didn't marry you, will you remember me?"
Daniel Taylor said, "Maybe, not."
He spoke clearly. Anna Stark understood that he was good to her because of her position as his wife. It was Mr. Daniel Taylor's mindset to love and respect his wife.
Anna Stark was suddenly curious about him, "Sir, Tell me about your past. What hurt you?"
At his house, she felt that his family behaved very carefully in front of him as if they were afraid that he would be hurt twice. He always cared about her affairs and loved her so much. Anna thought she should also understand him.
Daniel Taylor looked at Anna Stark. "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
"I'm just curious. You say that I'm your wife, I can tell you anything. Then you... you should also tell me everything about yourself?" Anna asked him.
Daniel Taylor looked out of the window and said, "there is nothing. You don't need to know anything." As a man, he hated to let anyone see his vulnerability. Not even Anna Stark.
"It doesn't matter." Anna Stark said with a smile, "When you want to say it, I'll always be there to listen."
Daniel Taylor looked at Anna Stark and didn't respond because he thought there wouldn't be such a day.
Jack Smith, who was sitting at the front seat looked at Daniel Taylor and sighed helplessly. He thought that Mr. Taylor was so kind to Anna Stark, maybe he would open his heart to her. But maybe he was wrong.
"Mr. Jack Smith, please stop at the next street and drop me there. I want to buy something." Anna Stark spoke to Jack Smith.
Jack Smith said, "You can tell me what you need, I'll buy."
"No, it's okay!" Anna Stark said, "Please drop me here." Although she studied here, she didn't have much time to hang out.
Jack Smith looked at Daniel Taylor's face and stopped the car, "Please don't wait for me. I will come back later." It was not far from their house.
Daniel Taylor and Jack Smith went back.
"A new small company has sent you an email. They want you to support them financially. Actually there are some university students. Would you like to see it?" Jack Smith was reporting to Daniel Taylor. "Show it to me later."
Anna Stark came back. She was holding two shopping bags. The maid saw Anna and quickly walked towards her to help her. "Miss Anna, how did you buy so many things?"
"I thought it was delicious, so I couldn't help it." There were some fresh vegetables and some fruits but that shopping bags were too heavy for her.
