The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 154

Cindy looked at her angry father and made up her mind to confess, “Dad, I’m pregnant with John Walter’s child. With the child, my life will be different, but now…Sam will certainly stand in my way and our wealthy life in the future will be in jeopardy…” Lewis was overjoyed to learn that his daughter was pregnant with John Walter’s child. But he became upset when he was told that Sam would stand in their way of a very comfortable life.

He slightly narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. He suddenly looked up and said to his daughter seriously and determinedly, “Cindy, don’t worry. I will take care of it.”

Then he bit his lips and left.

Cindy wiped her tears and smiled, because her plan had worked out very well.

Lewis had suddenly returned home when he was already halfway to the mountain, because she had deliberately hidden his tobacco at home.

Lewis was an addicted smoker for decades. He had felt the urge to smoke in the halfway, but he couldn’t find any tobacco on him, except the pipe. As Cindy had expected, he had returned home soon.

It was part of her plan to be caught sleeping with Sam by her father, a cruel man who would certainly find a way to get rid of Sam who would stand in their way.

According to what her father had said, she knew her plan would be successful.

Lewis went to the mountain behind the village with a hoe and a shovel, and didn’t return home until very late in the evening, looking exhausted.

Cindy turned a blind eye to her father’s unusual behaviors.

The next day, Lewis didn’t leave home. He decided to wait for Sam at home.

As he had expected, Sam showed up with several pheasants that he had caught in the mountains in the morning.

Sam was prepared for any punishment. However, when he walked into the house, Lewis didn’t beat or curse him at all. Instead he looked amiable and even offered to marry Cindy to him.

Sam was very confused, because Lewis’s attitude was so surprising. After quite a while, he tentatively asked, “Master, are you really willing to marry Cindy to me? Am I dreaming?”

Lewis smiled, “Sam, I couldn’t fall asleep last night and I finally came to my senses. Cindy is a poor innocent girl. John Walter slept with her, but refused to be responsible. Everyone in the village knows about it. Cindy’s reputation had been ruined. I’m afraid it will be very difficult to find her a decent husband in the future. Since you really like Cindy, and are willing to marry her, I’m actually very happy for her. Yesterday, I was so shocked that I was very impulsive and couldn't take it very well, Sam, please don’t take it personally.”
