Me Before You

Olivia Taylor served the tea to everyone.
Everything seemed calm and Anna was relieved.
Anna was sitting on a middle chair between Daniel and her mother. She sat down and looked at Daniel. Although she tried her
best to stay calm but she was extremely nervous. But when she saw Daniel sitting beside her, she felt relaxed.
Anna's mother drank tea and took a deep breath. It seemed that everyone was here but she didn't see Jack Smith. She couldn't
help asking, "He hasn't come yet?"
"He?"
Daniel's mother didn't understand who Anna's mother referred to. All their family members were there. Was there anyone else
missing?
Anna looked at her mother and understood what she might be asking, "my mother was talking about Mr. Smith."
"Have you seen Mr. Jack Smith before?" Olivia Taylor said with a smile.
"She had met him once." Anna said, and looked at her mother, "Mom, I am not married to Jack Smith, I am married to him."
Anna pointed to Daniel Taylor.
Anna was embarrassed by her mother's misunderstanding.
"He?" her mother's eyebrows were raised, she really disliked her daughter's choice.
She thought that Anna married Jack Smith. Jack Smith was quite good looking. If his family's financial conditions and family
background seemed good, she would just accept their relationship.
But... She didn't expect that the man Anna married was actually a crippled?
She couldn't accept it! Her daughter has married someone in a wheelchair. Everyone will make fun of her when they got to know
and she wouldn't raise her head in front of anyone.
What's more, the family's clothes were very ordinary. At first glance, they didn't look like rich people. As compared with Clarke's
family, who wore good and branded clothes yesterday, they were nothing.

With this marriage she was sure that she would get no benefits, on the contrary, maybe she will have to help Anna in the future.
This thought made Anna's mother very uncomfortable.
"Let's eat something first. Uncle, Aunt tell me what would you like to eat and what you don't eat?" Olivia Taylor asked politely.
Anna's mother didn't reply.
Anna hurriedly replied, "They can eat everything, please order according to your choice."
Anna spoke and looked at her mother and whispered, "Mom."
Why she couldn't behave politely? That day with Clarke's family she behaved so politely, and as compared to Clarke's, Taylor's
family had a much better attitude. Anna didn't know what her mother wanted to do by doing all this.
Olivia Taylor ordered the food.
Daniel's mother glanced at Anna and politely spoke to her mother, "Anna is a very good child. We are very satisfied with her.
Today, we invited you to come here to discuss their wedding."
Daniel's mother spoke very politely, no one could get angry with her. But, Anna's mother didn't care about any ethics, "Wedding?
I don't agree."
Daniel's mother was stunned, and she asked, "Why? They have a good relationship, and they are happy."
In this period of time, Taylor's really thought that Anna was the best match for their son and everyone was happy for them. They
had never seen Daniel caring so much for any other woman. Even Isabella Brown did not get such a treatment.
Anna's mother arrogantly looked at Daniel Taylor. She was really dissatisfied with this man and the family background of Taylor
Family.
But she couldn't tell the truth so she said, "your son is a cripple." she paused and said again, "My daughter Anna is only 18 years
old, and I don't want her to get married."
"..."

Really? Some days ago her mother forced her to marry Alex Clarke and now she said these things to Taylor's, Anna didn't
expect her to change so quickly.
"I'll be twenty soon," Anna said.
"Twenty? Are you saying that I don't know how old you are?" Anna's mother and Anna's sentences were suddenly reversed. "No
matter what, I don't agree for this wedding."
