Chapter 77

But Anna didn't speak.

Anna's mother stared at her and looked at Mrs. Clarke, "Please don't mind, today's children really don't know such manners."

"It is okay, Auntie." Alex Clarke smiled and glanced at Anna. His attitude was quite enthusiastic. "We are meeting for the first time. Anna must be shy and nervous."

When Alex Clarke called their mother Auntie, Aiden Stark was shocked. He felt that it must be okay for him to call his mother's sister.

Anna's mother knew her daughter's emotions very well, she thought this kind of behavior was reasonable...

When everyone sat down, Alex Clarke turned his face towards Anna. He had seen the photos of Anna before and thought that Anna was not bad. But he didn't expect that in reality, Anna looked much more attractive than her photos.

After all, she was not even twenty years old, which was normally the best age for girls to look beautiful.

"Anna, I heard that you were not well, how is your health now?" Alex asked with great concern.

Anna cast a strange glance at Alex Clarke. She heard her name from this man's mouth and felt very uncomfortable. They even didn't even know each other, why he was behaving so frankly? Anna's mother was afraid that Anna would say something bad, she quickly interrupted and said, "Anna is fine, everything is okay now."

Last time Anna left the house, so she had to make excuses...

Anna looked at her mother's reaction and realized that it must be her mother's lies.

"Let's eat something first!" Alex Clarke took the menu. "What Anna would like to eat?"

He tried to behave like a gentleman but Anna still didn't respond. She was a foodie, but at this moment she had no appetite.

Anna's mother smiled and said, "Feel like at home. Please order whatever you like. Anna is not picky about food. She can eat anything." "Then I will decide." Alex Clarke smiled and ordered the food.

Alex Clarke's mother looked at Anna, "How old is Anna?"

"Twenty years." Her mother immediately answered.

Anna was drinking water. When she heard her mother's words, that water got stuck in her throat. Her mother was really mean.

"Why Anna didn't go to university?" Alex's mother spoke again.

Anna's mother really cared about her reputation and she couldn't let others know that she didn't let her own daughter go to school because she wanted to get her married. Anna's mother spoke without even thinking for a moment, "She is not good at studies, and she doesn't want to go to school."

"..." Anna looked at her mother and didn't know what to say next.

"Oh, my son Alex Clarke graduated with 985 marks. There were many girls in our community who wanted to marry him." Alex Clarke's mother said proudly.

Although Anna's mother really didn't know what that was but she didn't wait for a second to praise him, "That is really great, If our Anna also did well in studies we can also be proud of her."

It really became tough for Anna to bear it anymore. Her mother really didn't know about her own daughter's marks? Unfortunately, her mother neither knew anything nor did she want to understand.

She only wanted to praise Alex Clarke and to flatter Clarke's family.

Alex Clarke's mother looked quite satisfied with Alex Clarke.

Anna, who hasn't spoken for a long time, finally couldn't help it. She said, "You are saying that a lot of girls wanted to marry your son. If really than he must get married earlier. Why did you get so much time to come here to meet others?"

Alex Clarke's mother was shocked, she didn't expect that Anna will say such words. This sentence made her felt very embarrassed.

Alex Clarke said with a smile, "I was busy with my work that's why I didn't get time to care about these things."

"Now you aren't busy with your work?"

"Yes, I'm not much busy. I work in a public institution, there is a 9:00 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. job with a two days weekend."

Anna's mother immediately interrupted again and said, "Yes, the public institutions are very good, the work is also stable, and the salary is also good. I heard that they pay more than 4000 yuan and also give two days' holidays per week."

Anna's mother worked in a hot pot shop. She could only have two days off in a month and her salary was not more than 2000 yuan. So, for her, it was the best proposal. This man can earn more than 4000 in a month.
