The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

As soon as Yolanda went abroad, Joey, who had been paying attention to her, got the news. She just didn't understand why Yolanda would leave so sudden, but she didn't plan to dig into it, because Joey had more important things to do at the moment. Today was the day that Allen took Joey to live in the Charles Family. For this reason, Joey simply packed up her luggage, and then went to Fiona and entrusted Sammy to him. And then, she asked Zelda and Philip to follow the progress of the lawsuit between Sarah, Marco and John. After getting all these done, Joey got into the car with Allen to the Charles family.

In the car, Allen gently put his arm around Joey's waist and let Joey lean comfortably in his arms. He said softly, "Baby, don't be nervous when you go home next time. I have already talked to my father and he won't embarrass you anymore. He felt regretful for what happened four years ago."

In order to make Joey feel at ease in the Charles family, Allen had had a good talk with George. He knew that George had killed Joey's baby four years ago, and Allen had not spoken to George for several months. However, if Joey wanted to enter the Charles family, Allen had to receive George's agreement, so he had to make concession.

George disapproved at first. He had always been despised Joey's family background, and didn't think Joey was not worthy of his son, so he would be so cold to force Joey to perform amniocentesis when he knew it would lead to Joey's miscarriage, but he didn't expect Allen to care about it so much, and even not spoke to him for several months. It was like Allen was going to disown him.

After the cold war lasted for so long, George couldn't help being fluttered. He had never thought he was wrong in this matter, but if what he did would lead the breakup of the relationship, that would be out of what he could bear. But as arrogant as he was, George wouldn't make concession first. Until Allen spoke to him again for Joey, he knew that this would be the last chance to repair his relationship with Allen. So, on reflection, he had to consent to Allen's taking Joey into the Charles family. After listening to Allen's ingratiating explanation, Joey buried her face in Allen's arms and nodded.

She knew that Allen would say so because he wanted to ease the tension between her and George. She didn't believe that a man like George would feel guilty. But she didn't want to expose Allen's white lie. George was Allen's father, after all. She couldn't give Allen a hard time.

The car was moving smoothly. At a fork in the road, Joey suddenly left Allen's arms and said, "Sir, please stop in front for a moment."

"What's the matter?" Allen was puzzled as the car stopped.

"Allen, look."

Joey pointed to a woman in simple clothes standing at the intersection.

The woman looked about 22 or 23 years old, looking beautiful but pale and thin. With long straight hair down to the waist, she looked fragile and made people feel sympathetic at the sight of her.

Allen raised his eyes to look at the woman, his eyebrows fluttered slightly, and he said, "She looks familiar..."

But he couldn't remember who she was.

"This is Sharon, the maid who used to serve grandpa and fell in love with him."

As Joey explained, she couldn't help but look through the window at Sharon standing in the wind. She didn't dress like a beggar as she did a year ago. Sharon looked the same as she did four years ago, but older and more pathetic. "Oh, yes. It is her."

Reminded by Joey's warning, Allen immediately remembered her and said, "Rumor has it that she was crazy?"

"She could live well even if she is crazy. I used to be like her, didn't I?"

Joey lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Since I visited grandpa last time, I have been very sad, and always thought that no one could take good care of him well, then I sent someone to ask about Sharon. She had got normal one year ago, but your parents don't like her, and do not allow her to go to the Charles family, but she is always worried about grandpa. When I found her, she said she was willing to come back to the Charles family to take care of grandpa again. And grandpa needs someone to take care of him wholeheartedly. Allen, would you think I interfere into this too much?"

After saying that, Joey looked at Allen with her big eyes, but feeling nervous.

It was not that she didn't want to tell Allen the truth. It was that the truth behind it was too dark, and it was George and Paige who set grandpa and Sharon apart.

They had killed the child of Sharon and grandpa. What they did was really outrageous. Joey knew that Allen would be sad to know the truth. There was no need for Allen to bear the burden of their mistakes. So, Joey would rather keep the truth from Allen, even if she was so hateful of George and Paige that she wished all the people could see how sinful they were! But she couldn't let Allen know that!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
