The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Joey turned her face away to avoid his gaze. She was about to say thanks for Martin didn't tell Allen the truth. But Martin suddenly said, "My mom will hold a great birthday party for Vivian tomorrow. Will you come?"

Joey paused and then she realized what he meant. It was Vivian who faked her in front of Samantha. So tomorrow was actually her birthday.

Joey herself even forgot about her own birthday as she was troubled recently.

After a while, Joey frowned, "I will attend if I am free tomorrow. I won't come if not."

She had been exhausted because of Allen's illness. She was not energetic enough to face Vivian.

Martin didn't try to persuade her upon hearing that. He took a well-wrapped square-shaped gift box and said, "This is the birthday gift for you."

Joey raised her head and stared at him with great surprise. She then reached out her hand to take it.

"Just open and see if you like it."

Martin said in a stiff voice. It seemed that he seldom presented gift for another one.

Joey unwrapped the paper and opened the box. Suddenly, her eyes seemed to be overwhelmed with sliver glow. She couldn't help but close her eyes instantly. Inside the box placed a set of jewelries made of diamond and platinum, including earrings, ring and necklace. They were all shaped as a blooming white Magnolia form, looking exceedingly unique and beautiful.

Martin smiled as he saw Joey's surprised face, "This is the set of the latest masterpiece designed by Adonis, the greatest designer in the world. And it's a limited edition with only 10 sets on this planet. My mom bought Vivian the same set. So she will definitely attend the party with this set of jewelries. If you also appear with the same set tomorrow, you will definitely stun everyone present. Actually, you should be the one who can fit this set the best!"

Undoubtedly, Martin wanted to spare a chance for Joey to pressure on Vivian. Meanwhile, he also wanted Joey to announce in public that she should be the lost girl in the family. In other words, Martin still forced her to tell Allen the truth. At the thought of that, Joey felt as if the gift she was holding weighted thousands of tons.

Every lady loved diamond. However, it took her a great cost. She would rather abandon it.

Joey put the box back on Martin's hand without hesitation and said, "Thanks for your kindness. But as I said, I don't want Allen to know about the truth. So I won't confess my real identity. Though you notice that Vivian faked the real daughter in the Linderman Family, you still chose to conceal it from others. So you should know my choice. Don't push me, please!"

Martin was a bit annoyed because of her stubbornness. But it was also a firm proof for her love for Allen.

Martin sighed, "Okay, I know. I won't force you anymore. As for the party tomorrow and the jewelries, it's all up to you! Take care!"

After saying that, he thumped the box onto her hands and left.

Joey breathed a sigh of relief while seeing his figure fade away. It seemed that Martin would not force her to tell the truth so far. "Thank you, Martin!"

Though she knew Martin didn't care about if she was grateful. She still shouted to say thanks from behind.

The sun set and dusk fell. It was time for dinner. Paige led six maids in as usual.

Every maid held a basket with several layers, where there placed all kinds of fined dishes that Allen favored the most. The maids then served all the thirties dishes on the table and also two kinds of nutritious soup.

Joey was accustomed to such a feast as Paige would prepare all kinds of dishes when it was time for meal as if Allen suffered from starvation.

"Mom, Joey, time for dinner!"

Allen pulled the chair to fit them both in. Obviously, he was trying to build up a nice atmosphere between them.

Joey and Paige looked at each other and then shifted their eyes at the same time with dissatisfaction against each other. But they both didn't want to fail Allen's concern. As they both loved Allen from the bottom of their hearts, they would be willing to sacrifice everything for him, not to mention just temporarily put aside the grudge.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
