The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 175 A May-December romance

Joey had to go over to Mr. Charles Sr. as she was asked to, and said respectfully, “How are you, Mr.

Charles?”

William Charles smiled affably, “We are practically a family now. Please call me grandpa like Allen.”

Joey suddenly looked up at the kind old man in disbelief. It meant that he had accepted her as his

future granddaughter-in-law.”

‘You…Grandpa!”Her voice trembled. Her eyes were red with excitement. She had lived an emotionally

miserable life since she moved here, because Allen’s parents had either completely ignored her or

given her a cold shoulder.

William Charles said sincerely, “In fact, I've been watching you these days and I can tell you’re a very

nice girl. I’m happy for Allen. Unfortunately my son and daughter-in-law couldn’t see it after spending

years with hypocritical snobs of the upper class. Please don't take it to your heart. You will be happy as

long as you and Allen love each other.”

“Just like you and Sharon, right?” Joey blurted out. But she realized that she had made a mistake as NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

soon as she said it.

Seventeen and Eighteen were shocked to hear it.

The romantic relationship between William Charles and the maid Sharon had remained a secret in the

family. All the servants had pretended to unaware of it and none of them had dared to tell it to anyone

else outside the family.

William Charles was surprised by Joey’s perceptiveness. But he took Sharon’s hand with a gentle smile

and nodded, “Yes, just like us. No one can stop us from being together now.”

Sharon slightly lowered her head and blushed.

Joey could feel an amazing vibe between the couple, as if there were only the two of them and their

unorthodox yet indestructible love in the world.

Joey truly believed that they really loved each other at this moment. She could tell it from the way they

looked at each other.

William Charles had a short conversation with Joey and suddenly invited her to have lunch with Sharon

and him in a fancy restaurant where he had made a reservation.

Joey happily accepted his invitation. It was a convenient excuse for her to leave the house.

Seventeen and Eighteen tired to stop her, but they were thwarted by William Charles’s authoritative

presence.

Joey was impressed by his fierce look too. Though he was nearly seventy years old, his dominance in

the family as a war hero and most respected family member was compelling.

Therefore, Joey got into his car and left the house.

Joey didn’t know how to ask William Charles to stop the car so that she could go to see Fiona. To her

surprise, he soon told the driver to stop the car and said calmly, “Why don’t you get off the car to do

your own thing?”

Joey was stunned. He had read her mind even before she said anything. He must have an observant

eye.

Sharon was amused by how surprised Joey was. She said gently, “Miss Joey, Will had already known

that you wanted to go out, so he deliberately asked you to lunch.”

Joey was even more surprised. It seemed that William Charles was probably the shrewdest person in

the Charles family.

However, she couldn’t help feeling awkward when Sharon called him “Will”. She might need some

more time to completely accept their May-December relationship.

Joey got off the car and took a taxi to the Phoenix Hotel.

She hesitated at the door of the hotel.

It would be a suicidal act if she went into the hotel room to find that Fiona hadn’t arrived yet.
