The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 282: Love Hurts

Noticing the complicated look in Joey's eyes, Amanda said with sympathy, "I've heard what has

happened to you. You must have been unhappy after you left Allen and went abroad, right?"

Joey looked down and bit her lips, nodding. Even though she had Philip and Fiona, and later Sammy,

she could not cheer up at all. However, she couldn't tell anyone. She could only nod when Amanda

asked.

Amanda added, "Actually, the best way to forget the pain of the previous relationship is to start a new

one. Are you seeing someone now?"

Taken aback, Joey smiled bitterly. Philip was around her a lot, but they were not in a serious Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

relationship. She didn't want to think about this question, so she paused and said, "You looked

contented. I guess you have started a new relationship, right?"

Only love could easily wipe out the hatred in a woman's heart.

Sure enough, Amanda nodded. "Not long after I divorced Quentin, a man started chasing after me. I

was moved by him, and entered a relationship with him within three months. He ... is very good, really

very good. I can feel his love. It's so pure. And I can't help falling in love with him gradually. I had a

different feeling for him from that I felt for Quentin. I love him, while there was only marriage between

Quentin and me. However, I broke up with him in the end, just yesterday."

Joey was shocked. "Who is it? Do I know him?"

"Yes."

Amanda said sadly, "It is Leonard."

"Leonard..."

Joey was surprised. When she worked in CL Group she came into contact with Leonard. He was

Amanda's assistant, who entered the company one day later than her. He was a handsome young man

with two deep dimples when he laughed, but he was ten years younger than Amanda.

Noticing Joey's surprise, Amanda gave a bitter smile. "I know what you're thinking. The age difference

between us is too big. This kind of cradle-snatcher love doesn't end well, but I broke up with him not

because of the age, but because ... Forget it, we are finished anyway. It's no use talking about it. I've

already handed over my resignation letter to Mr. Lawrence. I want to leave this city tomorrow.

Therefore, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for us to see each other after today. "

Amanda had never imagined that she would be a cradle snatcher. However, when love came, she

couldn't control herself, and the price she paid for it was a hundred times more painful than the divorce

four years ago.

When she divorced, she didn't even think of leaving, but now she didn't want to stay in this

heartbreaking city any longer.

Joey felt sorry for Amanda when she heard that Amanda had resigned for this. "You've worked for CL

Group for 12 years. Are you willing to leave it now?"

Amanda actually gave up her career which she valued so much just for a man? Joey understood why

Amanda didn't hate Quentin because all her love had been transferred to Leonard.

Amanda shook her head helplessly. "So what if I'm reluctant? Anyway, I don't want to stay in CL Group

anymore. Out of sight, out of mind."

"Out of sight, out of mind?"

Joey asked suspiciously, "Tell me what happened between you two. Since you love each other, why

can't you get together?"

As she spoke, Joey lowered her voice involuntarily. Since they loved each other, why couldn't they get

together? Wasn't she talking about Allen and herself?

She opened her mouth, about to say something. Suddenly she froze when she saw a couple enter the

restaurant.

Joey noticed Amanda's oddness, and she followed her gaze. She saw a man and a woman walking

inside. The man was Leonard, and the woman was ... Lily.

When Joey became the Administration director of CL Group through the interview, Lily was the

personnel executive of the Administration Department. Lily was grumpy that Joey took her dream

position, so she gave Joey a hard time. Therefore, Joey remembered her well.

She saw that Lily's belly was slightly bulging, knowing that she was pregnant.

Joey knew what had happened without Amanda's explanation.

Lily and Leonard saw Joey and Amanda as well.

They stared at each other.

A short silence fell upon them. Lily gave a mocking smile and came up to Joey and Amanda, her hands

on her bulging belly.

Leonard turned deathly pale.
