The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Joey had anxiously stayed at the Charles family for a day until Allen rushed back home from a trip to Joey’s hometown to ask for her parents’ permission to marry her in the evening.

Allen knew she wouldn’t like living there. When he was about to take her away, he was called to the study by his parents.

Joey didn’t know what Allen had been told by his parents, but when Allen walked out of the study, he had changed his mind and asked her to live here for a while.

Joey didn’t like the idea, but she didn’t want to put him in a dilemma. She finally agreed.

Allen gently held her in his arms. As the eldest child of the Charles family, he couldn't decide everything for himself, such as his marriage.

He had argued with her parents in the study, because they didn't approve of his marriage with Joey. Eventually each side decided to back down a little. Mrs. Charles allowed him to hold an engagement party first on the condition that Joey would live here to be taken care of by the maids before a safe delivery. They would decide whether Joey could marry into the family when the child was born.

The implication was that Joey could marry into the Charles family only when she gave birth to a son.

Allen knew that it was the largest compromise his parents could make. Things would only get much worse if he didn't accept it. He knew what his parents were capable of better than anyone else.
