The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 289: Warming of Their Relationship

"Someone is destined to be an ugly duckling. How can she become a swan with what doesn't belong to

her? What a joke!"

Yolanda stared at Vivian and said viciously. Then, she looked away, slammed the door and left.

She was actually referring to Samantha, who also had a humble background.

However, hearing this, Vivian turned pale immediately. Could it be that Yolanda was aware of

something?

Now Vivian could be easily frightened. She became quite sensitive, worrying that someone had known

she entered the Moore family by pretending to be Joey.

Ever since Joey returned, she hadn't slept well. Even if she lived a comfortable life, she lost lots of hair

because of poor sleep.

At this moment, the imprint of an open hand stood out distinct and crimson on her face, which was

caused by Ben's slap.

Ben had been looking for her these past two days. She wouldn't meet him, because she was trying to

avoid him. However, he actually asked someone to wait at the beauty salon that she would go to every

week. As a result, he caught her when she went there today. During a fight, Ben angrily slapped her in

the face. She also got furious and scratched his face with her long fingernails.

If it weren't for the fact that someone from the beauty salon helped her pull Ben away, she would have

been beaten up by him. After what happened today, she had also made up her mind that she would

sever ties with him from now on.

Samantha heard Yolanda's insult, but the expression on her face remained unchanged. Because it was

nothing compared with her miserable experiences in the past.

Seeing Vivian come back, Samantha revealed a smile and said to her from the second floor, "Vivi, stay

at home tomorrow and go keep an appointment with me."

Vivian covered her face with one hand and endured the pain, asking, "What appointment?"

"Don't ask so much. Anyway, you'll know when you go. This is a surprise I give you."

Samantha did not notice the red mark on Vivian's face from afar. Also, she had just smoked shishas for

too long, so she got very tired and kept yawning. After saying this, she turned around, entered her

bedroom and then slept like a log. ...

Night came!

Joey leaned against the bed in her nightgown and put her laptop on her thigh. She was having a video

chat with Sammy on a social platform.

The kid hadn't seen his mother for a few days and wouldn't sleep. She managed to put Sammy to

sleep, who was now in another country. Just as Joey was about to log out, her profile picture suddenly

flashed and someone sent her a message.

Joey clicked and found that it was from Allen.

There was only one sentence. He seemed to be complaining in anger. "Why didn't you come to see

me?"

Joey knew that Allen was asking her why she did not go to the hospital to see him when he got injured.

But he never knew that she had been there for many times.

Remembering his happy look that she saw this morning, Joey felt gloomy and then replied in a low

voice, "Why should I do that?"

Allen remained silent for a while, and then sent another message. "You're angry."

He wasn't questioning her, but pointing out the fact.

Joey suddenly felt sad. He could always read her mind like this. After a while, she replied, "Yes!"

Allen asked, "Why?"

Joey replied, "I don't want to say."

"You have to say," Allen said.

"No!" Joey said.

Allen warned, "I'll be angry."

Joey replied, "I'm angry now..."

They kept chatting and arguing like this, and even started to bicker. For a moment, they seemed to go

back to the past, sweet and happy...

The next day, Joey got dressed up and planned to go to the company for another plan that could break

Ben down. Just as she opened the door, she saw Allen standing outside in a beige casual suit. He Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

looked handsome and debonair, with a warm and gentle smile, just like when they first met each other.

Joey lost himself for a moment, then quickly looked away and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Wait for you." Allen smiled at her.

Hearing this, Joey softened her tone. "Did your wound ... heal fully?"

Allen raised his hand to touch the wound with the gauze being removed in advance. He smiled and

said with ease, "Yes, it's just a minor injury."

"Good!"

Joey replied softly and looked sideways. Last night, she chatted too much with him online. But when

they met face to face, she suddenly felt that she couldn't face him as easily as she did last night.

There were too much happening over the past four years, which became obstacles to their relationship.

It was really difficult to remove them all at once.
