Me Before You novel Chapter 4

She knew it was abrupt, but she had no choice. She felt like a patient who was ill and went to the hospital in a hurry.

"I... I'll pay you back with interest." Anna lowered her head and explained, "I'm going to start my university, but I don't have the money to pay my tuition fee..."

Daniel Taylor turned his head and looked at her with his static eyes. The girl looked very nervous. Her fingers were red and her cheeks were light red.

That was the first time Daniel Taylor has looked at this girl's appearance carefully. Although she came here often, he had seen her several times before but he never paid much attention to her. The girl's eyelashes were very long, thin and quivering. Those black eyes were as clear and lovely as the eyes of a deer. The white and tender face looks very young and fresh.

Although from her appearance she didn’t look extremely beautiful, she was very fresh, pure and innocent.

Daniel Taylor looked at the girl who tried to convince her. If he was in his normal mood, he would surely help her. But now he was not in a good mood. He wanted to make trouble for the little girl.

"Why should I help you? I don’t know you. We have no relation."

Anna felt very bad, she had no idea that she will have to face the refusal for the second time. She took a deep breath and didn't say anything. She was about to turn around and leave.

"If you want me to help you, you have to accept my condition," Daniel Taylor said.

"What condition?" Anna was stunned.

"Marry me."

Marry him? Anna thought that she had heard it wrong. She was shocked and said, "Sir, what are you talking about?"

"I need a bride who can marry me."

Daniel Taylor was calm. He asked her for marriage as casually as one talks about the weather. In the past, a large number of women wanted to be his bride. Mrs. Taylor's title was very attractive. And now, his legs were disabled, but it was not really hard to find a bride now if he wanted to find it. But he wanted to create some difficulties for Anna.

Anna looked at him. She was only eighteen years old!

Although the man looked young and handsome but she heard from the former servant that he was 28 years old. But still, they have an age difference of ten years! How could she marry a man who was 10 years older than her?

There was a long silence.
