The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 137 A blind date in disguise

The next day, after Mr. Linderman left for work in the fields, Mrs. Linderman hurried out of the house.

Soon she returned home with a man behind her.

He was young, about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was fat, weighing at least one hundred

kilograms. But he had a fair complexion and big black eyes. Though he was fat, he wasn’t bad- looking

at all, even kind of cute.

Having been cleaned up the room languidly at home, Joey was surprised to see the fat young man.

However, the young man was very excited to see her. He rushed up to Joey, “Joey Linderman, is that

you? It seems like years since we last met. You’re even more beautiful than I remembered.”

“Who are you?” Joey looked at him skeptically. It seemed that he knew her.

“I’m David.”

The young man said, waving his arms, “The fatty boy who followed you around when we were kids.

Don't you remember?”

“The fatty boy?” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Joey recognized him after a second, “Oh, David? Look how you've grown up! Didn't your family leave

the village? Why did you move back?”

Everyone has a few playmates when they are kids. David was one of the few playmates of hers in her

childhood.

David’s father used to be the village head. When David was six years old, his father got a major

promotion and the whole family moved into the city. She hadn’t seen David again ever since.

Twelve years had flown by and the way David talked somehow reminded Joey how cute he had been

as a little boy.

David smiled and scratched his head, “My father quitted his official position a few years ago. He had

become a successful businessman these years. But as he grew older, he found himself more and more

nostalgic. So two months ago, he came back and built a villa for the family to go back to live once in a

while. I came back yesterday. I’ve decided to come to see you as soon as I heard you were back.”

Joey nodded admiringly, “What a happy family!”

They talked happily.

Mrs. Linderman had a strange smile on her face. It seemed that the matchmaker Mrs. Matilda had

done quite a good job. She believed that a rich future son-in-law would be exceedingly rewarding.

Joey had no idea of Mrs. Linderman’s secret plan. She was glad to see David as her long-lost

playmate. Having spent the past couple days in somber mood, an unexpected reunion with her

childhood friend eventually cheered her up.

They had a good time chatting with each other. After lunch, David had to say goodbye and go back

home.

In the next few days, David went to see Joey and spent hours doing chores for her every day.

Mr. Linderman naturally realized what he was up to, but Joey was clueless.

She treated David as her younger childhood playmate the whole time. She believed that David had

treated her as an older childhood playmate as well.

One day, when David had invited Joey to visit the villa of his family, Mr. Linderman finally asked his

wife, “Honey, did you invite David over on purpose?”

Mrs. Linderman retorted, “Nonsense! I just wanted to find our daughter a decent husband. Are you

implying that I’m a troublemaker? You’re very ungrateful!”

Mr. Linderman frowned, “Don’t intrude in Joey’s marriage. I’m warning you, if she doesn’t like David,

You must not force her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. Or don't blame me for falling out with

you.”

With these words, he left for work in the fields.

He would rather toil in the fields than stay with his wife at home.

It had been the case in the last few decades.

Looking at her husband leaving, Mrs. Linderman ground her teeth, burning with rage. Always a silent

and obedient man, Mr. Linderman would suddenly turn into an aggressive and demanding husband

whenever it concerns Samantha and Joey.

Therefore she had learnt to pretend to follow his advice and then secretly plot against him.

It was the same this time.

There was a creepy cold smile on her wrinkled face.

On the other hand, Joey had gone to visit the villa only to find that David’s parents weren’t at home.

There was no one around other than luxurious furnishings in the entire house.
