The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 140

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.

Just as Mrs. Linderman had told David during the day, she eventually showed up at the door of David’s bedroom.

“Dad…”

Joey rushed into the room, expecting to find Mr. Linderman and David in a scuffle. She was surprised and confused to see David sitting in the bed gloomily and peeling an apple with a fruit knife in his hand. He was alone.

“Joey, it’s great to see you!”

David was overjoyed to see her. He instantly threw the apple and fruit knife onto the nightstand.

Joey froze, “Where is my father… Ah…”

Before she could figure it out, she was suddenly given a shove from behind by Mrs. Linderman, who had eventually caught up with her. Joey let out a cry of surprise when she was pushed into David’s bedroom. The door slammed shut from behind. It was then locked from the outside.

“Mom, Mom, what are you doing? Let me out…”
