"..." Anna Stark was scared. She took a sip of water and swallowed it without making any noise. She never thought that Daniel called John Peter here to ask about this matter.
How did he come to know about her part-time job?
How did he come to know that John Peter dismissed her?
Besides, when she came back home, he pretended that he didn't know anything.
John Peter looked at Anna Stark and thought in his mind, obviously, she told his uncle. He cursed her in his heart and didn't deny, "Yes, I did it."
Daniel Taylor looked at John Peter and said, "apologies to Anna."
"Uncle!" John Peter looked up at Daniel Taylor, "Anna, she..."
"Apologize!" Daniel Taylor calmly repeated. He didn't give him a chance to explain.
John Peter's face became very stiff. He looked at Anna Stark. His anger was rolling in his chest. His uncle wanted him to apologize to such a woman?
Why?
Why does he apologize?
"I am saying for the last time, apologize." Daniel Taylor looked at John Peter.
Anna Stark was her wife. He will not let her suffer any more grievances.
John Peter offended Anna Stark's twice and he has tolerated. But he couldn’t tolerate today’s incident.
…
The atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Daniel Taylor didn’t speak, and Anna Stark looked at him. Only because of Daniel Taylor, John Peter apologized to her.
Anna was not happy with John’s apology. John was not willing to apologize but due to Daniel’s pressure, he had to.
She looked at Daniel Taylor who has been quietly sitting beside her and felt a little nervous. She remembered that Jack Smith also got frightened by Daniel’s anger.
