Chapter 184 It ended up with a huge mess
Joey was startled at the table. She instinctively tried to protect her belly with her hands.
Allen hurriedly held Joey in his arms to protect her and took a few steps back. He went to grab his
raging mother with a long face and said with a faint note of weariness in his voice, “Mom, knock it off! Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Why couldn't we just sit down and have a nice dinner? Why do you always make a fuss over a most
trivial thing to upset everyone? Are you happy now?”
Mrs. Charles pushed him away and said sharply, “Did I make a fuss? Don’t you see that they teamed
up to bully me? You’re my son and you’re supposed to help me. Why do you blame it on me?”
She suddenly pointed at Martha and said angrily, “You’re my daughter and you helped an outsider to
bully your mother who gave birth to you and raised you. You ungrateful son and daughter! What's the
point of living such a miserable life here? I’m done with it!”
She rushed into her room, grabbed her purse and stormed out of the house.
“Mom…”
Allen rubbed his temples and tried to catch up with his mother. But when he saw Joey’s pale face, he
knew she needed him more at such a time. He turned to Chance and said, “Chance, please go and
check on my mother.”
“Okay, don’t worry. Aunt Paige is just being angry and she will be all right soon.”
Chance agreed without any hesitation and quickly left to run after her.
Lawrence looked at the terrible mess on the floor on the stairs with a sneer. He turned around and went
upstairs with a straight face.
Mr. Charles was furious. He looked at his clothes spattered with vegetable stains and went to take a
shower.
Martha and Philip looked at each other and she shrugged. She had gotten used to it because it had
happened all the time.
Allen sighed and went to Joey to hold her hands reassuringly.
William Charles was only one person in the room who was totally calm, as if nothing had happened.
He looked at the dirty floor and said to Sharon behind him, “Sharon, dinner is over. Why don’t you
wheel me out for some fresh air?”
Then he said to Allen, Joey, Martha and Philip, “If you haven't had enough, ask the kitchen to prepare
some food for you.”
He left with the help of Sharon.
The family reunion dinner officially ended up with a huge mess.
“Baby, are you all right?”
Once they walked into their room, Allen asked Joey anxiously.
Joey shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Allen sighed, “Baby, I’m sorry. This is my family. I know it must be really hard for you to live in such a
family. I promise, we'll move back to our villa when the baby arrives safely. There will be only three of
us and we will live happily together.”
He was really tired of all these annoying family dramas. He made up his mind to live a quiet life from
now on.
Joey cheered up to hear it.
The maids brought some refreshments and they snuggled in the sofa watching TV.
After a while, Joey I suddenly felt nauseated. It was her first experience with early pregnancy reaction.
“Allen, I’m going out for some fresh air.”
She wanted to throw up and it felt terrible.
“I’m coming with you.”
Allen quickly put a coat on her.
“I want to go to the rooftop.”
Joey looked out at the night, “The moon is so bright and the stars are sparkling. Why don’t we watch
the stars on the roof?”
“All right.”
Allen patted her on the head lovingly. When they were about to leave the room, his phone suddenly
rang.
Allen took out his phone and froze a second when he saw the caller ID. He didn't answer the phone
right away. He said to Joey, “Baby, why don't you ask Seventeen and Eighteen to accompany you to
the rooftop first? I’ll pick up the call.”
“Okay.”
Joey didn’t suspect anything. She thought Allen simply needed some privacy for a business call. Thus
she left the room alone.
However, Seventeen and Eighteen weren’t guarding the door at the time, which was rare. Joey
believed they had been asked to help clean up the mess in the dining room.
She thought it was for the best. They had always following her around, which was really annoying. She
decided to go straight up to the rooftop alone.
After she left the room, Allen closed the door and finally answered the call.
