The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Joey was startled at the table. She instinctively tried to protect her belly with her hands.

Allen hurriedly held Joey in his arms to protect her and took a few steps back. He went to grab his raging mother with a long face and said with a faint note of weariness in his voice, “Mom, knock it off! Why couldn't we just sit down and have a nice dinner? Why do you always make a fuss over a most trivial thing to upset everyone? Are you happy now?”

Mrs. Charles pushed him away and said sharply, “Did I make a fuss? Don’t you see that they teamed up to bully me? You’re my son and you’re supposed to help me. Why do you blame it on me?”

She suddenly pointed at Martha and said angrily, “You’re my daughter and you helped an outsider to bully your mother who gave birth to you and raised you. You ungrateful son and daughter! What's the point of living such a miserable life here? I’m done with it!”

She rushed into her room, grabbed her purse and stormed out of the house.

“Mom…”

Allen rubbed his temples and tried to catch up with his mother. But when he saw Joey’s pale face, he knew she needed him more at such a time. He turned to Chance and said, “Chance, please go and check on my mother.”

“Okay, don’t worry. Aunt Paige is just being angry and she will be all right soon.”

Chance agreed without any hesitation and quickly left to run after her.

Lawrence looked at the terrible mess on the floor on the stairs with a sneer. He turned around and went upstairs with a straight face.

Mr. Charles was furious. He looked at his clothes spattered with vegetable stains and went to take a shower.
