The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Joey had expected Mrs. Charles to say that. Thus she was neither surprised nor angry. But she was surprised when Mrs. Charles claimed that Allen was the only son in the family. She subconsciously questioned it, “The only son? Doesn’t Allen have a younger brother Lawrence?”

Mrs. Charles was reminded what a big mistake she has just made. It was an honest mistake nevertheless. She had always disliked Joey, and Joey indiscreetly had the nerve to bring Lawrence up, the boy she had hated most in her entire life. Thus in a fit of anger, she had blurted out.
