"But… Are you sure you don't need to talk to your family?" Jack Smith didn't know what situation had forced an 18-year-old girl to make such a big decision.
Anna Stark smiled bitterly. "No, my family… we'll surely have no problem."
Jack Smith observed Anna Stark's smile and felt sad for her. "In that case, try to move here and live with Mr. Taylor as soon as possible," he added.
"What?" Anna Stark was stunned.
Just after the signing, she came to know that she has to move here and live with him. Anna Stark was a little girl. She was afraid to hear that.
"What do you think that you can live anywhere and can spend your life as you like after marrying Mr. Taylor?" When Jack Smith noticed a look of amazement, he knew that she hadn’t thought about this yet.
"Now, you are Mr. Taylor's wife. You have to take responsibility for him. And now it is your responsibility to continue Mr. Taylor’s family line. Miss Anna Stark please take this marriage seriously and don't treat it as a joke," Jack Smith added. He knew that Daniel Taylor was hurt by Isabella Brown. He didn’t want him to be hurt again.
Anna Stark was shocked by his sudden change of tone. She has agreed to marry Daniel Taylor, but all she thought was about her own interests. She did not consider what he can expect from her as his lawfully wedded wife.
But Jack Smith has reminded her that she was thinking very simply. She was a little scared. After all, she's only 18 years old and just a young girl. Suddenly she was asked to be a wife and a mother, which was a little difficult for her to accept.
"I… Can I step back?" Anna Stark's voice trembled.
"No way!" Jack Smith got angry at her stupid question.
"It's your pleasure to marry a great man like Mr. Taylor." Jack Smith said. If it's not because of the injury, this little girl cannot get the chance to marry him.
"I know." Anna Stark nodded. There is no way back.
When the rain stops outside, Anna Stark thought that she should leave. Before leaving, she did not forget to say hello to her new husband Daniel Taylor, "Sir, I am going back."
Daniel Taylor's eyes fell on her. "Come here."
Anna Stark walked up to him, Daniel Taylor stretched out his hand and gently held her. The warm touch of his hand made her tremble slightly, and she wanted to take back her hand but after looking into the sad eyes of Daniel Taylor, she stopped.
From today on, she became this man’s wife. Anna was thinking about this unexpected matter.
Jack Smith came forward and gave the agreement to Daniel Taylor. After a brief look, Daniel Taylor closed the agreement and said, "Jack Smith, please send Miss. Anna Stark back."
"Yes, Mr. Taylor." Jack Smith nodded.
…
When Anna Stark returned home, her younger brother Aiden Stark was also at the door. He has just returned home. He saw Anna Stark getting off a luxury car. He was surprised and said, "Sister, have you got a wealthy man?"
Anna Stark was stunned. She felt his words harsh, "Aiden Stark, if you don't speak, no one will think that you are dumb."
Seeing that Anna Stark was angry, Aiden Stark touched the back of his head awkwardly and said, "Sister, don't be angry, I'm just kidding…" He thought what his mother had said to him during the day and felt sorry for Anna Stark.
"Sister, are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water." Aiden Stark said and ran away.
Anna Stark shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"What are you doing out there? You have spent a whole day outside!" As Anna Stark stepped in, she heard her mother saying this to her. If it was just an ordinary day, she would surely bow her head and admit her mistake. But at this moment she was already very angry with her mother because of the conversation she had heard during the day.
"I went to work to earn my university’s tuition fee!" She calmly replied.
"Anna, now there is no need to do a part-time job. Come here, mother want to tell you a great thing." Anna’s mother thought as Anna gets married, she could get two apartments and she was very happy with this deal. No matter how blunt Anna's tone was, she ignored it and thought about herself, "Your father told me about a family. The man lives in the city, and they have a lot of money. After your marriage with him, you can have a life like a Young lady. Now you don’t have to go out to work all day."
Anna Stark didn't expect that her mother can say that so easily. She thought that it would be hard for the mother to talk about it, but she was wrong. She finally realized that in the eyes of her parents she was just a tool to make money.
"Mom, I'm only eighteen. I will go to university after the summer vacation." Anna Stark replied.
"What eighteen? You are twenty! Look at the neighbor’s daughter. She's a year younger than you. She got married early. Now she's better than you. She has her children, her home and a good life." Her mother was fully determined. "And you still want to go to school? What a girl can do by studying more? What's the use of this education?"
"Just because I'm a girl, I don't deserve to go to university. I have to sacrifice myself to let my younger brother study?" Anna Stark's eyes were full of sorrow.
"Shouldn't it? Your brother is only 16 years old. How can he become successful without going to school? How will he manage to buy a house with a job without an education? And how will he get married without money?" Anna Stark's words didn't make sense to her mother. "Why an elder sister cannot sacrifice for her younger brother? How could I have such an un-filial daughter like you?"
"Yes! I am un-filial! Get yourself married." Anna Stark roared, went back to the room, and closed the door.

I would like to give a small suggestion. There is no need of using their surname everytime. The story line is pretty good. I liked it. 😊
