"No," Jack Smith replied honestly.
Anna took out the household booklet and showed it to them. "Today my brother came to Jingzhou and gave it to me. I thought you gave her money for this."
Jack Smith also had an idea that Anna’s mother will do this.
He looked at Anna and said, "When we went to your house, she didn’t listen to us and asked us to go out. But later, I don’t know why her attitude suddenly changed. It seems that she got to know about Mr. Taylor’s family’s background and status, so she chased us out. But then I refused to take the household booklet."
"..." Jack Smith’s words were like an insult to Anna.
He narrated a fact, and her mother’s nature was clearly exposed. In turned out, whatever she sent today was not because of her daughter’s love, but just because of the money. Now her mother finally came to know that Taylors’s have money, so her attitude towards them suddenly changed.
Jack Smith said, "Now we have the household booklet, so let’s forget it!"
He wanted Anna’s mother to realize this reality, but Anna also has a very close relationship with that woman and now she had sent the household booklet, Jack Smith didn’t mean to make Anna more embarrassed so he tried to end the discussion.
When Jack Smith left, Anna put her bag aside and went to the bathroom to wash her hands and face. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt very emotional. Her mother’s actions made her sad and heartbroken. She was very sad.
After a while, she came out and saw Daniel Taylor sitting in his wheelchair and waiting at the door of the bathroom for her.
His black eyes fell on Anna. He saw that there were still water drops on her face, and asked with concern, "did you cry?"
"No. "Anna said, "I don’t cry so easily. I just washed my face."
Daniel Taylor looked at her tenderly. "Come here."
Anna always felt a kind of thumping in her heart when he spoke like this. She walked towards Daniel Taylor. She didn’t want him to be worried about her, so she wiped off the water drops from her face and said, "See, I didn’t cry."
Daniel Taylor looked at Anna and said, "She is your mother, but she is an individual and only she is responsible for her deeds and actions, you are her daughter but you are also an individual and you are just responsible for your deeds and action, you don’t have to feel guilty due to your mothers actions."
Anna nodded, "Um."
Daniel Taylor lowered his head, and his eyes fell on her naked legs. "Did you dress up like this and go out?"
