After that, John Peter started coming to Aiden Stark’s apartment every day. Anna strongly resisted him at the beginning but her attitude gradually changed and with time it has become much better. Even though she didn’t treat him well, but at least she didn’t glare at him every time she saw him here.
In the beginning, John Peter cheekily started appearing at their place, but now he seemed to have become the part of their family. He has always been present on their dining table. Such a change made him feel very happy. His present lively and happy nature was totally in contrast with his reserved and cold image of the school’s most handsome boy. It seemed he has changed into a new person.
At least in Aiden Stark’s eyes, John Peter has seemed to become a changed person. He was no longer that serious and reserved team leader. Now he seemed to have become a funny person, just like a fool, constantly giggling. And his elder sister also seemed to have become a changed person. She often has a gloomy face, but in front of John Peter, she can’t help it.
Aiden Stark took a bite and helplessly glanced at John Peter and Anna, who were fighting over a meatball.
"Leave. I bought that." Anna said angrily.
"I went there with you and brought it back. So, I should eat more." John Peter was not willing to give up.
"Leave."
"No, I won’t, you should let go."
"I said leave it."
"I won’t let it go. It’s mine."
...
Finally, it was unbearable for Aiden Stark. When both of them were busy fighting over the last meatball, Aiden suddenly stretched out. He skillfully picked the meatball, and directly swallowed it.
Then he looked at the two people glaring at him, and said calmly, "you were fighting for it for so long. I ate it. Now you don’t have to fight for it."
John Peter glared at him with hatred, and then said to Anna, "if I accidentally slaughter your brother, would you be angry?"
Anna also had a fierce expression and looked at Aiden Stark, "I also want to beat him up."
Aiden Stark was attacked by both of them. He had no option than to carry his bowl, walked away from the table, sat in the corner, and ate the rest of his food pitifully. John Peter and Anna looked at each other with a smile and then drooped their heads to continue eating.
For a while, Anna was feeling much better. That continuous urge of vomiting has stopped, but now there was another abnormality. Every day after getting up, the first thing she wanted to have was food. She felt hungry all the time.
Fortunately, John Peter came to her with a big bag of food every day. Sometimes he even accompanied her to go to the supermarket and helped her buy all the necessary food items.
Of course, she bought it. He just helped her carry all the stuff.
Aiden Stark looked at the two people who seemed to have become better, but from the bottom of his heart, he was concerned about his brother-in-law. He said to himself, "I don’t know how’s brother-in-law. Shall I go and talk to him?"
But soon, he rejected the idea. He thought about his sister’s condition a few days ago. His sister was too thin and weak when she came here. She just vomited all day and night and at that time she was left alone. From that day on, Daniel Taylor was no longer his idol.
Because he divorced his sister when she was in her most difficult time.
Just because of this incident, Aiden Stark’s respect for Daniel Taylor was gone.
With these thoughts, he looked at John Peter, who was busy fighting with his sister and his heart hesitated. On the one hand, John Peter was Daniel Taylor’s nephew. In terms of this relationship, he wanted to drive John Peter out of his house. But on the other hand, John Peter was also the team leader of his team. A leader who showed the kindness of recognizing his worth and employing him. No matter what, he can’t drive John Peter away.
Aiden Stark couldn’t help shaking his head. He was really in an awkward situation, he shook off his thoughts and said to himself, "forget it, let’s worry about it when it happens. Why I am bothering myself ahead of time?"
He comforted himself and bowed his head to eat.
But he never expected that the person who will take the initiative to let go of her hand will be him.
With these thoughts, Daniel Taylor couldn’t help slapping himself, "I’m really pathetic. I didn’t even listen to Anna’s explanation, and foolishly decided for her. I left her when she was pregnant…"
He pushed her beloved woman to another man while she got pregnant with their child. The child he had been looking forward to for so long. Finally, when his most desirable wish was about to come true, he foolishly pushed the child and the child’s mother away.
Daniel Taylor slapped on his face severely and a palm print appeared on his clear face.
Just as he was about to slap himself again, his mobile phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was Jack Smith’s call, so he quickly pressed the answer button, "What is it? Did you find John? ... Really? Where is he? Ok, I’ll be there soon."
He hung up the phone and ran to his car.
After breaking several traffic lights, Daniel Taylor finally stopped at the gate of a supermarket. He found Jack Smith who was waiting for him, hurried over and asked in a deep voice, "John is in this supermarket?"
Jack Smith nodded, "someone saw him and told me. But I’m not sure..."
Daniel Taylor didn’t wait for Jack Smith to finish and strode toward the supermarket. Jack Smith followed closely.
In the supermarket, there were not many customers, but the supermarket’s area was too large. Daniel Taylor and Jack Smith can’t find John Peter at a glance.
Daniel Taylor said to Jack Smith, "let’s find him separately."
Then he walked quickly to one side of the supermarket. Unconsciously, he went to the food area of the supermarket. Somehow, he had the feeling that the person he was looking for will be found in this area, and with a kind of surety, he looked around.
