The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 226

In fact, Joey could choose not to go to work, because a man as rich as Philip could definitely support her and Sammy. But she insisted on working to support herself and her son. Philip could only respect her choice because he knew why she had made such a choice.

He knew better than anyone how much hatred she had harbored over the years. She had acted as if nothing had happened, and she had never brought up the past again. But the calmer she looked, the worse it was.

He knew she had always wanted to change herself, or reinvent herself to be more exact. She had worked so hard to make herself stronger so that she wouldn’t have to rely on anyone else. She did it.

She had no idea that it had pained him to see her working so hard.

The family of three had a nice dinner together. After a day of playing around, Sammy was bathed and put to bed early by Joey.

There were Philip and Joey left in the living room.

Philip pondered for a while, as if he had made a very important decision. His voice was serious, “I’ve taken care of everything. We can go back to China at any time these days. Are…are you ready?”

Joey’s body stiffened at the news, but she soon put a weird smile on her face and her voice was calm, “Yes, I’m.”

Philip continued, “Before you go back to China, you’d better go and ask Zelda to give you a test again. Your depression has been cured, but you have to be mentally stronger than you’ve ever been if you’re going to meet those people from the past.” Zelda was Joey’s therapist for years.

Joey nodded, “You’re right.”

Philip sighed and turned to look at her lovingly, “Joey, do you really have to go back?”

Joey was determined, “Yes. I must go back.”

She had prepared herself for this day since she left four years ago.

She had mourned for her lost baby all these years, and she wouldn’t be satisfied until she made them pay.
