The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Joey could hear the muffled anxious voice of Mrs. Linderman, “Honey, honey, please don’t go. You can’t go. Come back…”

Joey jumped out of bed and opened the door. The living room was scattered with fallen tables and chairs. Mrs. Linderman was standing in the middle of the room, nervously irritated and scared.

“Mom, what’s going on?” Joey went to her and asked.

Mrs. Linderman was relieved to see Joey. She grabbed Joey’s hands and said anxiously, “Something terrible has happened. It was a slip of the tongue. Your father knew you had been taken advantage of by David today. He was furious and stormed out, saying he would teach David a good lesson. Joey, what should we do now? Your father is growing old and he’s certainly no match for David. His health has worsened ever since he fell down the stairs last time. I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to make it if they got into a fight at David’s home …”

Joey was shocked, “Then why are you standing here? Go and stop my father!”

Almost without thinking, Joey rushed out of the house and ran to David’s home.

She had no idea that Mrs. Linderman was smirking behind her because her plot would prevail.

But Mrs. Linderman decided to catch up with her to make sure that her plan would be carried out perfectly.

As they say, when one cares about someone or something too much, he/she will be unable to think rationally. Joey was very worried about her father, which had lowered her awareness. Moreover, having been deliberately misled by Mrs. Linderman, she believed it was urgent to go after her father to stop him. Just as Mrs. Linderman had told David during the day, she eventually showed up at the door of David’s bedroom.
