The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

"Let's divorce," Allen said in a direct and simple way. His words came as a bolt from the blue to Yolanda.

When hearing Allen's remarks, Yolanda stopped nagging and scolding him. She stared at him in disbelief and got dumbstruck.

"What... did you say?"

Although Allen didn't care for her and sleep with her in the past four years, he had never mentioned divorce. For a time, Yolanda was shocked.

"I want to divorce you!"

Allen said resolutely, "You should have thought of this when you tricked me into marrying you. Yolanda, we spent a happy time at college. Let's part friends. As for Lillian, if you can't bear to part with her, you can get custody. Of course, I will visit her frequently to fulfill my duty as a father."

Speaking of Lillian, Allen did not feel weepy. Although he liked children, he didn't feel affection to Lillian. Perhaps it was because she was born in an inappropriate time. Her birth was an accident to him. Perhaps there were some other unknown reasons.

Yolanda shook her head. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she looked pitifully at Allen and softened her voice, "I was too emotional. It was my fault to doubt you. How would you betray me? I was wrong. I shouldn't woolgather. Allen, I'm sorry. Don't be angry. Even if you're angry, you can't say you want to divorce me. I'm your wife. We are going to spend the rest of our lives together. Lillian is little, and she'll be laughed at during her lifetime if you abandon her. She's so cute. How can you leave her and let her grow up without a father? Allen, don't say angry words. We are family. Let's have a good life together after Lillian recovers. Allen, promise me."

Yolanda knew that she had to apologize and intreat for his pardon now.

Yolanda was no longer as young as ever. Since her father, whom she had been relying on, had passed away, she had lost the high social status as well. As for Samantha, she was Yolanda's stepmother and was only 14 years older than Yolanda. As Yolanda was arrogant since she was a child, she despised Samantha, who came from the countryside. Therefore, from childhood until now, she had always bullied Samantha, her stepmother. So, she didn't count on Samantha to help her at all.

How could Martin not know that she bullied Samantha?

Because of that, Martin was indifferent to her. Although she was his half-sister, he would not call her sister even now.

In other words, she couldn't rely on the Moores any more after her father died.

Now, she was only Mrs. Charles and the Mayor's wife. She had no other backers.

Now, Allen wanted to divorce her. Once she got divorced, she would have nothing left. In this case, how could she agree? Therefore, she had to save her marriage that had never been blessed. She even could step out of her ego to do it. Unfortunately, Allen was determined to divorce her.

Allen retreated and draw back distance with Yolanda, saying seriously, "It's not angry word. I must divorce you. My lawyer will come to you with a divorce agreement tomorrow. Don't worry. I'll give you enough money. Even if you don't return to the Moore family, you and Lillian can live a happy life with the money."

After saying that, Allen did not want to talk with Yolanda anymore and walked to the elevator not far away.

Yolanda was so angry that her entire body trembled. But she had to grit her teeth and bear it.

As the elevator door slowly closed, Allen seemed to have left her world. Yolanda clenched her fists. She tried to calm herself down and controlled herself from losing temper. Now, she had to remain cool-headed to figure out a solution.

She would never agree to divorce.

Chance, who had been watching them secretly, walked out. From behind Yolanda, he said meaningfully, "I knew Allen would divorce you sooner or later, even if you resort to endless scheming to give birth to Lillian."

Yolanda had been very upset. She was irritated by Chance's sarcastic comments. She vented her anger to him and said, "You seem to be happy when I'm in trouble. Look, if I divorce Allen, I'll disclose what we have done together. By then, I'd like to see how Allen will treat you, a good brother who has betrayed him!"
