The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 35

Joey went into the kitchen, which was taken by Mrs. Linderman as her silent agreement with Ben’s decision. Obviously happy about it, she went back to her TV watching.

But Ben Hawk didn’t think so. He racked his brain to find a way to stop her from leaving home.

In the kitchen, Joey told her father what she had told her mother in the living room while she helped him with preparing the meal.

Mr. Linderman stopped what he was doing and asked worriedly, “Are you leaving today? What's the hurry? How is the house? Will it be safe if you live alone?”

“Don’t worry, Dad. Everything is fine over there. I will be very comfortable. You daughter is a big girl now.”

She rested her head on his shoulder.

Vivian, Joey’s younger sister and her mother’s favorite daughter usually got everything she wanted, while Joey got little. In the last twenty-two years, her father was the only family member who had genuinely loved her. And she was the happiest around him.

Mr. Linderman was pleased to find that his elder daughter had grown into a beautiful young woman. He lovingly patted her on the back and nodded, “I will always have your back as long as you are happy.”

“Thank you, Dad!”

Joey almost wept.

She was very upset since she had caught her fiancé cheating on her with her own sister. If she hadn’t met Allen Charles, she would certainly have had a nervous breakdown. She was now more aware of the fact that her father, besides Allen, loved her deeply.

Suddenly there came the loud sound of TV programs from the living room.

Joey frowned. Why on earth did her mother turn up the TV so loud? Before she could figure it out, Ben Hawk walked into the kitchen, “Dad, it’s your favorite TV show. Mom asked you to join her watching it. You can leave it to us in the kitchen.”

Mr. Linderman didn't suspect anything because it was indeed his favorite show by the sound of it. So he took off the apron and handed it to Ben Hawk smilingly, “All right, I’ll leave it to you two.”

Then he left the kitchen.
