Chapter 148 She was asked to date her neighbor’s son again
After the trip to Thailand, Quentin had refused to get a divorce, and…Amanda had taken Quentin and
Vivian to court for adultery.
Vivian was stunned to hear the news and she had lived in panic and fear ever since.
Ben Hawk hadn’t planned to come back home with Vivian, but he had changed his mind when he learnt
that Joey and Allen were at home now.
When he saw Joey in Allen Charles’s arms, he couldn’t help feeling jealous and resentful.
No one noticed anything strange about him, because Mrs. Linderman was the center of their attention
right now.
Vivian helped her mother to her feet and looked at Mr. Linderman with cold eyes, “Dad, you shouldn’t
have beaten her so badly, no matter what she has done. You may divorce my mother because of Joey
if you want to. But I guess my mother won’t be the only to walk out on you. You will never see me
again!”
Mr. Linderman had been very nice to her, too. But Vivian somehow felt that he had always been a lot
nicer to Joey. Thus deep down in her heart, she had felt closer to her mother in the same way Joey had
felt with Mr. Linderman. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Therefore the family was divided into two groups, with Joey and Allen on Mr. Linderman’s side against
Vivian and Ben Hawk on Mrs. Linderman’s side. It was quite a show, and the audience was totally
fascinated by it.
They found it more exciting than any hit TV shows.
“You…you…”
Mr. Linderman stared at Vivian and was heartbroken by what she had said. She was practically forcing
him to give in and forgive Mrs. Lindnerman. He was suddenly saddened by the fact that his own
daughter turned out to be so ignorant and unprincipled. He found it hard to breathe. He finally closed
his eyes and fainted.
“Dad…”
“Mrs. Linderman…”
Joey and Allen cried out in surprise and hurriedly caught Mr. Linderman in time.
“Honey…”
“Dad…”
Mrs.Linderman and Vivian were shocked too.
A family dispute hastily ended up with Mr. Linderman passing out in a fit of anger.
As for David, Joey had decided to cut him some slack, because the whole thing would be traced back
to Mrs. Linderman if she sued him. Now it was a mess at home, and she hated to bother her father with
it again.
However, her trouble wasn't over yet.
In the afternoon, her neighbor Aunt Nancy showed up with a strong young man at her home and said
loudly, “Joey, look, this is my son Nelson. It has been years. Do you recognize him?”
Joey’s eyes twitched and she was suddenly reminded of how Aunt Nancy had suggested a blind date
with her son several days ago. Joey thought it was just a joke then. She hadn’t expected it to be a real
thing. She forced a smile and nodded to Nelson politely, “Nelson, nice to see you!”
Nelson was a tall, strong, dark-skinned young man. He looked at Joey and smiled shyly.
Aunt Nancy wasn’t happy as her son said nothing at all. She tried to explain, “Joey, my boy is a little
shy around pretty girls, please…”
“Aunt Nancy!”
Suddenly annoyed by the mother’s eager smile, Joey interrupted and decided to cut to the chase, “I
have a boyfriend.”
“Ah?” Aunt Nancy’s smile froze on her face.
Allen, who had been silent by Joey’s side, stepped in and wrapped his arms around Joey’s waist
intimately with a charming smile on his face, “Aunt Nancy, Nelson, nice to meet you, I’m Joey’s
boyfriend and we’re getting married soon. I’ll sure send you an invitation. Please come to our wedding.”
Aunt Nancy was surprised. Allen was majestic, elegant, gentle and handsome. It was apparent that
Nelson was no match for him anyway.
She forced a dry smile and quickly left with Nelson.
Joey turned her head to look at Allen and smiled. Allen was anything but a harmless gentleman. He
could be really mean at times.
But a few minutes later, Nelson suddenly returned alone.
