The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 225

Joey had gotten a phone call from her son every day after work in the past three years. The little boy had been too young to talk in the first two years and could only babble on the phone. But now he was three years old, and he was a clever and naughty boy.

Joey had been touched by the call every single time, because it was always heart-warming to know that there was someone waiting for her at home in this strange country, especially her son Sammy. She knew she wouldn’t have been able to go through these past four years with him.

Philip had been really nice to her and her gratitude was beyond words. She had to admit that Philip was a perfect young man, and he had loved her as much as she had loved Allen.

Her heart ached at the thought of Allen. She had missed her every day for over a thousand days since she left him, especially when she was pregnant with Sammy. During those days, tortured by mood swings and recurring bouts of depression, she had longed to go back to him. However, she had hesitated when she recalled how she had lost her first baby. She knew she should carry on no matter what. It would be best for her to stay far away from him for her baby, if not for herself. She couldn’t allow herself to be selfish and stupid enough to give anyone the opportunity to hurt her second baby.

Philip had taken very good care of her back then. He was gentle, generous and wonderful.

She knew what Philip really wanted, but she couldn’t give it to him. So the better Philip had treated her, the more ashamed she had become. But she couldn’t live without him, because a woman alone with her three-year-old son wouldn’t be able to survive in a foreign country.

She went home by subway.

She took out the key at the door, but it was instantly opened by a little boy.

“Wow, Mommy is back. I knew it was Mommy. I could hear your footsteps.”

The boy cheered as he climbed up Joey like a little monkey in a tree. He gave her a big kiss on the left cheek. With his delicate features, he was even prettier than a girl.

It was easy to see that his large, fluttering eyes were exactly like Joey’s.

“Sammy, my sweet boy, give Mommy one more kiss.”

With her beloved son in her arms, all the weariness of the day’s work was gone.
