The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 357

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone if it's a secret."

Joey looked grim when she saw how serious Sarah was, and she had a vague intuition that what Sarah was about to say may have a lot to do with why she hadn't left John all these years.

"I've paid too much for this over the years to keep it secret. I don't need it anymore, because John won't let me keep it secret if I want to, and I'm already tired."

Sarah gave a wry smile of helpless, then she added, "Joey, do you remember Cindy?"

Joey was a little shocked, but she nodded, "Of course I do. When I first came back, didn't you say that she died in childbirth? Why did you suddenly mention her?"

Sarah shook her head and took a deep breath. As if with determination, she said, "Actually... That's not the truth, the truth is..."

When Sarah told Joey the truth, Joey was completely shocked and stared at Sarah, unable to say a word for a while.

Looking at Joey's expression, Sarah closed her eyes painfully, "Joey, you must be disappointed. Do you think I... am horrible?"

Joey shook her head, realizing that her reaction had hurt Sarah, "I'm not disappointed, and I don't think you are horrible. After all, Eliza's death was an accident, and you didn't want to. Don't blame yourself on this."

"Joey..."

Sarah held her face in her hands, and Joey's understanding made her feel more and more ashamed. Tears of remorse flew from her fingertips, and Sarah threw herself into Joey's arms, crying in pain.

Four years ago —— before Joey had been abroad. Cindy, under the escort of Marco, went from the countryside to the city. At that time, Cindy was pregnant. John arranged Sarah and Cindy to live under the same roof. By then, for the sake of Patrick, Sarah swallowed all the humiliation, but Cindy gave Sarah a hard time and nitpicked Sarah.
