Anna knew that if anyone didn’t want to lend her money, she can’t force them.
"OK… Thank you, aunt…" Anna said and stood up. She was embarrassed to stay here longer.
Claire held Anna’s arm and said, "Anna, don't worry. Talk to your mother again. Maybe she will change her mind."
Anna's heart sank, she told Claire about the conversation she heard today.
"What? Your mother wants you to marry? But aren't you only eighteen?" Claire was shocked.
Anna smiled bitterly, "That's why I came here to borrow money from you…"
"Anna, don't worry, there must be a solution…" Claire said.
"Anyway, thank you, Claire." Although she didn't get the money, she was satisfied by Claire’s concern.
They walked to the door and saw a boy wearing a white shirt coming towards them. Anna looked up. She thought he was her Boyfriend, John Peter? Why is he here? She was confused. She was very busy during these summer vacations and didn’t get the time to contact John Peter. But she was happy to see him.
"John!" She walked towards John Peter without noticing the disgust in his eyes.
John Peter also came towards her. When she was only a step away, he stopped and said, "Anna, so finally you appeared."
"What?" Anna was confused. They didn’t see each other in summer vacations. She thought John Peter would be very happy to see her but his reaction was opposite to her expectations.
"Don't pretend. If you want to break up, you can say it to me directly. Why are you trying to hide? Why are you avoiding me?" John spoke angrily.
"I didn't hide…" She was working at a place for the past two months. That’s why she canceled many dates with John Peter. She didn’t tell him about her work because she wanted to keep her dignity in front of John. But John misunderstood her. He thought that she intentionally did all this because she didn't want to see him.
Anna was nervous she tried to explain, "I really didn't hide. I was busy. If you don't believe me, you can ask Claire." Anna explained, and her gaze shifted to Claire. She wanted Claire to help her in explaining this.
Claire looked at her and said, "Anna, don't cheat John. You told me that you wanted to break up with John Peter…"
Anna was confused. When did she say that?
"Claire, what are you talking about? When did I say that?" Claire knew that she was working. But Anna didn’t know why she betrayed her in front of John Peter?
Anna looked at Claire’s innocent face, and her heart suddenly ached. She felt like she never knew Claire. She thought about the embarrassment of borrowing money from her family, and now the deceptive face of Claire.
Anna seemed to understand something.
As expected, John Peter believed what Claire said. He said coldly, "Anna, what else do you want to say?"
"I…" Anna wanted to say a lot of things, but now her words were stuck in her throat and she couldn’t utter a word…
"Okay, as you wish, let's break up." John Peter said and didn’t look back at Anna. He turned and walked into Claire’s house. Claire’s mother warmly greeted him. It was obvious, that he was not going there for the first time.
Anna kept standing and staring at his back.
Claire came closer to Anna and whispered, "Anna, John has broken up with you, now you should stop flattering him. You should understand that you two were just a mismatch. You should listen to your mother and should get married and have children. You and John are people from different worlds." Claire proudly turned around and entered her house.
Anna stood still. Although it was a hot day in September but her heart was feeling extremely cold.
