Me Before You

Chapter 56

He was the one who broke up. She never did anything wrong to him.

John Peter looked at the photos. They went out for so many times, but Claire Ashley always asked him to come, mostly she said to him that she wanted to talk about Anna Stark. Sometimes they went for class parties with other classmates.

Mostly they went out with other friends, but the ways she posted all these photos showed them as a couple, like they were dating each other.

"There is a misunderstanding." Claire Ashley posted this. It was nothing as you thought. John wanted to clear, but…

"Misunderstanding?" Anna Stark smiled, "how could it be a misunderstanding? You brought her here to see your parents. Do you really think that I am this much stupid?"

"Anna Stark..." John looked at her. He wanted to explain.

Anna Stark interrupted him. Her face was cold and her tone was determined, "you don't have to say anything. I won't believe in your explanations."

She put away her mobile phone and continued eating.

John Peter observed her indifference, recalled that day in his mind when he went to Ashley's house. That day she wanted to explain to him everything, but he showed her exactly this kind of attitude, and now she was intentionally showing him the same.

After a while, Aunt Lisa came in, she was afraid that they will be fighting. Aunt Lisa was amazed as well as relieved by the scene, she found John Peter sitting at his place and Anna Stark was eating quietly.

She looked again at John, a moment ago he was so angry when she went out. But now he was calm. It seemed a little magical. What Anna Stark did? How John's anger vanished in a moment?

"Are the noodles delicious?" Aunt Lisa asked.

Anna Stark nodded, "Yes, it's delicious."

John Peter was still quiet, he didn't eat anything. His eyes were stuck at Anna Stark.

When Anna finished eating Aunt Lisa took away the noodles.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the classmates started gathering at the restaurant for celebrating Teacher Paul's birthday.

Claire Ashley was sitting with her classmates.

All the girls around her were busy flattering her, "Claire, your dress is so beautiful. Is it very expensive? Your mother is really good she always buys you expensive clothes. And my mother never allowed me to buy such expensive clothes. And this time my exam result wasn't good she punished me to wash dishes every day."

"Not too expensive, it's just 20,000 yuan."

"Twenty thousand yuan? And you are saying it is not expensive! Your family is really rich."

Claire smiled. She knew that her family was not very rich, but there were few girls in the class who were richer than her. So she didn't miss any chance to flaunt her family background.

"By the way, why didn't Anna Stark come with you? I have heard some news that her family is very poor. She will not take admission in university and will get married soon. Is it true?" Of course, these all rumors were spread by Claire Ashley herself.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Claire Ashley's academic performance was not better than Anna Stark's, that's why she always wanted to be better than Anna Stark in every other aspect. After all, she was born in the city, and Anna Stark came from the countryside.

"Well," Claire paused and said sweetly. "I advised her several times, but she didn't listen and wanted to marry earlier."

"What? She said that? Her result was too good! Why she wants to quit studies?"

"Everyone thinks differently." Claire Ashley gracefully touched her long hair, tried to behave like a lady. In front of others, she had to maintain the reputation of a noble lady, she didn't say bad things about Anna Stark, "Her family's financial condition is really bad. I have heard that her mother works in a hot pot shop and her father works as a labor on some construction site. "

"Really..." Everyone was surprised to hear about the conditions of Anna's home. They didn't believe that with such worst conditions she managed to study at No. 1 Middle School in Jingzhou.

"Claire, you are so nice. You belong to a rich family, but you still make friends with her."

Claire smiled, she always liked to be praised by others.

When Anna Stark arrived at the door, she heard their conversation. It seemed that this party had become a personal show of Claire Ashley.

Claire Ashley was really good at acting innocent in front of people.
