Me Before You

Daniel Taylor squatted down and saw a pile of books arranged neatly. He raised his head in bewilderment and asked, "What is
this?"
"Mom bought these books. These books have topics related to pregnancy and postnatal care. By the way, mom said she has
some other books related to the topics of how to raise the child and how to take care of him." Anna said helplessly.
"What?" Daniel Taylor, who always faced all the problems calmly, was so shocked at this moment that even his face color
changed for a while.
Anna saw this and said with a smile, "Are you shocked? Ok, look at your back."
After that, she stood up and walked towards the bookcase on the first floor.
Daniel Taylor was stunned for a second. Then he stood up, followed her, and looked at the most conspicuous places in the
bookcase. That place was filled with brand-new books. In a shock, he asked, "Who bought these books? Don’t tell me that mom
bought all of them."
Daniel Taylor sighed in surprise.
"Who else can? All of them are personally chosen by mom. She said she wants the best of everything for her grandson. By the
way, there are also several books on your bedside table. Mom said you should take some time to study them."
Anna hasn’t completed her sentence when she saw Daniel Taylor quickly walking towards the sofa. She followed him and said,
"Not only that, mom also asked you to read me a book or two every day. She said good prenatal education is also very
important."
Then, she saw Daniel Taylor quickly turning his back and running to the sofa. He looked dumbfounded and his lovely
appearance made Anna laugh, "Sir, why are you running like this? These books don’t have legs. They can’t come after you."
"No, I don’t want to see these books." Daniel Taylor buried his head in the sofa, Anna tried to pull him but she can’t.
"Please, don’t force me. I am having a headache because of these books, take them away."
Anna heard him saying this and hastily put the books in her hand aside.
Daniel Taylor was relieved to see this. Then he explained to Anna in a low voice, "I just hate reading books."

"Hate?" Anna looked at him puzzledly, "but, why do you hate reading books?"
"I don’t know, I just hate it." Daniel Taylor didn’t explain anything and said, "I’ll talk to mom, I won’t let her stress you." After
saying this, he supported her to walk upstairs, "Anna, you should rest now."
As soon as he said this, he saw that Anna wanted to refute. So, he said in a deep voice, "Don’t think of refuting. In every matter,
we have to consider the well-being of our child. I have promised you that I won’t be too nervous and I won’t pressurize you again.
Now you have to promise me that you will have a good rest, ok?"
After his explanation, Anna had no reason to refuse, "Ok, I’m going to have a rest, but Sir, you’d better go to the company."
Daniel Taylor thought for a while, then nodded, "You are right. I am going back. Mom isn’t here, so you will be alone at home. Is it
ok?"
"Yes, I will be fine. You can go now." She waved at him casually, saw him going to the office, and instead of going upstairs she
sat down on the sofa again to watch TV.
After a while, the doorbell rang, Anna wasn’t expecting anyone at this time. She whispered to herself, "Who has come at this
time? Maybe mom is back."
Then she stood up and walked to the door. She opened the door and said, "Mom, where have you been..." But when she raised
her head and saw the man’s face, she was stunned, "John Peter? Why are you here?"
John Peter looked at her coldly, and then said in a deep voice, "Mom asked me to give these things to grandma."
Anna paused for a moment, then moved out of his way and let him come in. He closed the door gently and walked in. He looked
around but didn’t see his grandma. So, he asked, "grandma is not at home?"
"Yes. Mom and Lisa have gone to the market." Anna replied, then thought of something and asked, "by the way, how’s sister
now? I was thinking about going to see her."
John Peter thought about his mother who was still lying in the bed and his face changed for a while. He shook his head, and said
perfunctorily, "There’s nothing serious. You’d better not go."
After that, he looked upstairs and said casually, "Is Uncle upstairs? I want to talk to him."
Anna shook her head, "He is at his office, if you have something urgent, you can call him."

John Peter didn’t say anything and just kept standing there, silently.
Anna felt a little awkward. She didn’t want to watch TV anymore. So, she stood up and said to John Peter, "I am going upstairs to
have a rest."
She walked upstairs without waiting for him to say anything. But as soon as she raised her foot to step on the stairs, she heard a
faint voice, "What happened? You can’t even bear to talk to me or see me for another second, right? So, if this is the case, then
in order to save you from my discomfort, I shouldn’t come here in the future."
Anna turned around in dismay and looked into John Peter’s sarcastic eyes. She said in a deep voice, "John Peter, what
nonsense are you talking about? Why don’t I want to see you? You are my husband’s nephew and with this relationship, you are
my nephew as well. How can you say that you aren’t welcome at your grandparents’ house? Obviously, you are more than
welcome."
"You..." John Peter heard her words and his face turned red in an instant. He never thought that Anna would dare to say anything
like this to him.
Since Anna got pregnant, her ability to control her temper has also improved. Facing his glare, she smiled and said, "What? Is
that not enough? Then tell me, what I should do to show my great affection for you?"
In front of Anna’s strange and indifferent attitude, John Peter was completely stunned. In his impression, Anna was a gentle and
sweet girl. How can she become such an indifferent woman?
Anna was also tired of playing this boring game with him, she said in a cold voice, "Are you shocked? But what is so shocking? I
have never been a person who likes to follow men around. Didn’t you choose to break up with me and be with Claire Ashley just
because I was too indifferent and cold? And she’s the type of woman you like."
Anna finished what she wanted to say and walked upstairs.
John Peter saw her going upstairs. He couldn’t help but come forward, grabbed her arm, and said in a deep voice, "Didn’t I
already explain it to you? At that time, I was cheated by Claire Ashley. It was just a misunderstanding. I didn’t really want to
break up with you. Why are you so stubborn?"
Anna turned coldly and said, "leave my arm."

John Peter was extremely furious, he didn’t listen to her warning and said, "Anna, why don’t you take a look at yourself? When
you were my girlfriend, did you do your duty as a girlfriend? I invited you to dinner and you refused, saying that you are busy. I
asked you to watch a movie. And you refused, saying that you don’t have time... There were so many situations like this. Do you
need me to list all those situations?"
Anna ignored his entanglement, shook off his hand, and continued to walk upstairs.
But John Peter had no intention of letting her go. He stepped forward quickly, grabbed her arm again, "Now you don’t have
anything to say and you just run away, right? Anna, I really didn’t see your real face. As soon as we broke up, you threw yourself
into my uncle’s arms. Aren’t you too proud now? So proud that you want to hear me calling you aunt, right?"
Anna didn’t expect that John Peter would say anything like this. She couldn’t think for a while and slapped him in the face.
"Pah-"
But after doing this, even Anna was frightened by her move. She just stood there at a loss...
