Me Before You

Chapter 893

Robin Johnson chuckled and said, "I’m here to treat myself with the delicious dishes cooked by you. I don’t know whether I am welcome or not."

"Welcome. Of course, you are welcome and I don’t think you need an invitation. It’s your home." Mother Taylor stood up with a smile and welcomed Robin Johnson wholeheartedly, "Daniel, please treat Robin well. I’ll go to the kitchen and tell Lisa to get everything ready for cooking Robin’s favorite meal."

Daniel Taylor looked at Robin Johnson, who was staring at Anna and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. He smartly blocked Anna behind him and then said with a smile, "Robbie, why did you come here? You didn’t even tell me, if you had informed me, I would come to pick you up."

Robin Johnson slowly took back his eyes, laughed, and said in a low voice, "There isn’t any special purpose. It’s just a sudden plan. I just want to come to Jingzhou to see you, so here I am."

"How is chief? I am also planning to visit him in some days." Daniel Taylor said calmly and didn’t continue to ask the real reason behind Robin Johnson’s arrival to Jingzhou.

However, Robin Johnson didn’t answer his question. Instead of it, he said to Anna, "Anna, how are you? You look kind of pale. Isn’t Daniel treating you well?"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the living room was suddenly suppressed.

Anna said in a hurry, "No, he treats me well. It’s just I am..."

"Robbie, why do I think you are overconcerned about Anna?" Anna was about to say something but Daniel interrupted her and in a half-joking way, he asked another question.

In response to Daniel’s question, Robin Johnson showed an awkward smile, and said, "It isn’t like this. I’m just joking. Daniel, you don’t even allow people to joke now?"

Anna sensed that there was something wrong in the atmosphere between them, she stood up and said to Daniel, "Sir, I want to go upstairs and rest."

Daniel Taylor rushed forward and helped her, "Then I’ll take you upstairs."

"But..." Anna looked at Robin Johnson who was standing there. She felt that it would be impolite to leave the guest alone in the living room.

"Don’t worry. Robbie is not a stranger. Right, Robbie? Robbie, make yourself at home, and I’ll be back in a moment." He said so and walked upstairs.

"But I’m ok, it would be better if you..." Anna walked and tried to convince Daniel but her resistance was of no use.

"Listen to me." Daniel Taylor said.

Anna noticed the difference in his tone, obediently shut her mouth, and walked quietly into the bedroom. She thought that he would leave her here and go downstairs, but it didn’t seem like this.

She looked at the man, who gave her water from time to time, and felt helpless. Finally, she can’t help but ask in a low voice, "Sir, do you deliberately want to avoid going downstairs?"

After hearing her question, Daniel Taylor’s expressions were like as if he has been caught red-handed, and he nodded helplessly.

Now it was Anna’s turn to be puzzled, "but aren’t you and Robin best friends? Even after knowing what he did to you, you didn’t get angry with him. Then what happened now?"

Daniel Taylor noticed Anna’s nervous appearance and said helplessly, "Don’t ask me anything, I am going downstairs."

After saying this, he hurried to the door.

Anna leaned on the bed and whispered, "what a strange person. At one moment he said that he didn’t want to go downstairs, and as soon as I asked him the reason, he went downstairs without saying anything."

However, she didn’t expect that just after a minute he will come back. She was caught by him, so she could only smile at the man, who suddenly turned back. She asked in a coquettish voice, "Sir, why are you back? Have you forgotten something?"

Daniel Taylor pretended to stare at her angrily, and then said in a deep voice, "if you feel uncomfortable, just call me, ok?"

Anna felt speechless and she rolled her eyes, "Sir, can you vomit in my place? Then what’s the use of calling you?"

Daniel Taylor was derided, and he reluctantly went downstairs.

He came downstairs and when he saw Robin Johnson sitting alone on the sofa, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes. With an indifferent look, he walked over, "Robbie, you suddenly came to Jingzhou, is there any problem? Tell me. Maybe I can help you handle it."

In response to his question, Robin Johnson laughed, "Everything is fine. Moreover, what kind of a problem I can’t handle? I just want to see my good friend, so I came. That’s all."

"That’s all?" Daniel Taylor raised his eyebrows and asked.

Robin Johnson helplessly stretched his hand and said, "Otherwise, why would I come here? Obviously, I can’t come to see Anna."

Just after saying this, he had to bear Daniel Taylor’s angry eyes glaring at him, and he laughed embarrassingly, "Hahaha! Daniel, I really didn’t expect that you would have such an attitude. In the past, even after knowing that I like Isabella Brown, you were not so jealous. I’m just joking. Who doesn’t know that Anna is Daniel Taylor’s most cherished treasure?"

Daniel Taylor heard his explanations, but didn’t smile, and just said calmly, "It’s good if you know."

Robin Johnson heard the warning in his words, just raised his eyebrows but didn’t talk about this dangerous topic again.

During lunch, Anna didn’t come downstairs. Mother Taylor asked Lisa to go upstairs and have a look. Anna was asleep. So, they didn’t wait for Anna and warmly entertained Robin Johnson at the dining table.

"Robbie, how is your mother? I really want to get a chance to meet her." From time to time, Mother Taylor enthusiastically served food to Robin Johnson. But Daniel Taylor’s attitude was somewhat indifferent and he silently ate his food.

Robin Johnson looked at Daniel Taylor’s gloomy appearance and said with a smile, "she’s fine. She also often talks about you."

Mother Taylor smiled. Right after lunch, she asked Robin Johnson to stay for dinner with them.

However, Robin Johnson refused with a smile, "I can’t stay. I have a flight in the afternoon and I have to go back to B City. After all, dad has just recovered, I can’t leave him alone for a long time."

After this reason, Mother Taylor didn’t force him again and advised Daniel Taylor to visit the chief.

"Mom, you should rest now. I’ll see off Robbie." Daniel Taylor said in a deep voice and took the lead to walk towards the door. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped, stared at Robin Johnson with his burning eyes, and his eyes seemed to see through something. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Robin Johnson was being stared at by him, but he was calmly standing there, letting him have a good look.

After a while, Daniel Taylor withdrew his sight and said, "Robbie, do you want me to take you to the airport?"

Robin Johnson shook his head and said with a smile, "I am not going back, I have to go to a place. Don’t worry about me. After all, I’m familiar with Jingzhou."

After saying this, he waved to Daniel Taylor and left quickly.

When Robin Johnson walked to the other side of the road, Daniel Taylor suddenly called him, "Robbie, contact me before going back. I have something for you to take back to chief."

Robin Johnson paused, then he turned around with a smile and nodded, "Ok. I’ll call you before going back." Then he stopped a taxi and headed for the city.

Daniel Taylor stood on the side of the road, looked for a long time, then slowly retracted his gaze. After that, he walked back, went straight upstairs, looked at Anna who was still sleeping, and gave her a gentle kiss. Then he took the iPad, sat on the bed and got busy with checking some documents.

Time passed by, but Anna was still asleep…
