The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

"Joey!" roared Paige, "You chick. You dare to cheat me! How dare you!"

She was happy that Allen was safe, but she was also angry that Joey had played a trick on her. She screamed and wanted to hit Joey. Now that Allen was fine, she felt free.

Allen quickly took Joey behind him and said, "Mom, calm down. What did Joey do? It's no good of being angry."

When Paige saw Allen helping Joey, she became even angrier. She pointed at Joey and said, "Ask her what she has done. She just lied to me..."

But before she could finish, Joey said, "When did I lie to you?"

"Didn't you say that Allen..."

"What did I say about Allen?"

Joey laughed innocently, "I didn't say anything. You imagined that."

"You, you..."

Paige was speechless, pointing at Joey tremblingly, and couldn't say a word.

As Joey said, Joey did not say anything about Allen's report, but when Joey made that expression, Paige couldn't help thinking of the pessimistic situation. Joey was absolutely intentionally, but she did get cheated, and cried in front of Joey. How shameful for an experienced person to be fooled around.

Watching Paige get so angry, and listening to what she said to Joey, Allen had figured out what was going on. He had always known about the conflict between Paige and Joey, and he thought it had eased up a little these days, but he knew that they were peaceful just for his sake.

However, it was not easy to deal with the conflicts between women. As a boyfriend and a son, he found it hard to meddle in, because there was a possibility that he would make things worse.

So, Allen pretended he didn't know what had happened, and said, "Anyway, today is a good day. Mom, don't be angry. Your son has gone through this after all. You should be happy, and today is Joey's birthday. A friend of mine called and asked us out to celebrate the birthday. So, I have to leave with Joey. Bye, mom."

With this, he ran out of the room with Joey.

Paige was left alone in the hospital room, pacing back and forth in anger.

"Allen, don't you blame me?" asked Joey when they ran out of the hospital, and Joey looked at Allen with some embarrassment. After all, she just tricked Paige.

Allen took Joey's hand and shook his head, "I know my mom made mistakes back then, too. So, you can't treat her the way you used to, and I understand that. When you can vent all your anger and let the past be the past, we will live a happy life."

Allen did not ask Joey to put aside the past grievances for him, because he did not want Joey to have hard days. As long as Joey did not go too far, he could turn a blind eye and pretend not to know about it, which was also to make up for the mistakes his mother had made. Joey was glad that Allen could understand her. He was always so kind and considerate.

At this time, the phone rang. It was from Philip, of course, just to wish her a happy birthday. He also told her that everyone knew today was her birthday and that they had gathered at the Reston Hotel to wait for Joey and Allen.

Joey hesitated for a moment and was about to go back to the hotel with Allen when she saw Sharon huddled in the same spot as she did yesterday.

Joey walked over and whispered to Sharon that she and Allen were leaving the hospital, and that she should come to Reston Hotel or FT Company if she wanted to find her.

Sharon quietly nodded with thanks, implying that she got it.

But when Joey and Allen left, she didn't throw away the money, but tore them up. The banknotes Joey gave her were torn into pieces one by one.

A passer-by opened his eyes wide, pointed at Sharon and called her a psycho.

Joey and Allen arrived at the hotel room. Not only Philip, Sammy, and Fiona were also there, so were Zelda and Sarah.

Everyone presented their own gifts one by one, and even Sammy brought a gift - a Pleasant Goat lollipop, which was her favorite. When she heard that everyone had a gift for Joey, Sammy had made a lot of decisions before she gave the lollipop to Joey. Although Sammy's gift was a little ridiculous, to a child, it was the most amazing gift in the world. Joey was so happy that she hugged Sammy and kissed her several times. She hadn't seen Sammy for two days and missed her so much.
