The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 102 A windfall

“Hello, what a nice girl…” Samantha was very happy.

Vivian looked innocent and beautiful, and Samantha liked her at the first sight. However, her smile was

gone when she saw the crumpled cleaner’s uniform that Vivian was wearing.

She reprimanded Mrs. Linderman for not buying Vivian some decent clothes, while she took a gold

card out of her purse and handed it to Vivian, saying it was a gift for her.

Vivian was thrilled to accept it. She talked with Samantha for a while and left the room with Mrs.

Linderman to give Samantha some privacy to talk to Mr. Linderman.

After Vivian closed the door, she instantly grabbed her mother’s hand and asked excitedly, “Mom, who

is the woman? Why did she give me a gold card when we met for the first time?”

Mrs. Linderman turned her head slightly away and said calmly, “It doesn't matter who she is. All that

matters is that she is very rich and you’d better act more politely when you see her in the future. I bet it

will be very rewarding for you. It’s a gold card this time. Maybe next time it will be diamonds, expensive

cars, and fancy houses!”

“Really?”

Vivian was even more curious about Samantha’s identity after she heard what her mother had said. But

her mother was apparently unwilling to say more about it. She knew she shouldn’t ask more questions

now. So she made up an excuse and left the hospital. She went straight to an ATM nearby.

At the moment, Vivian was dying to know how much money there was in the gold card!

She eagerly entered the password Samantha had told her and she was flabbergasted when she saw

the balance of the bank account.

“One, two, three, four, five, six…”

She counted the zeroes one by one, “Oh my God, a million dollars!”

She was insanely overjoyed.

She had never seen so much money in her entire life!

With so much money, there was no need for her to go to work in the CL Group anymore. She could

travel, buy everything she had wanted to buy, and even start her own business. She closed her eyes

with joy, imaging a wonderful picture of her future life.

At the same time, back in the ward, Samantha sat down at the bedside the minute Vivian and Mrs.

Linderman had left the room. She stared at Mr. Linderman’s wrinkled face and let out a sigh, “My dear

cousin, it’s me, Samantha.”

The eyelashes of Mr. Linderman’s closed eyes immediately quivered at her voice.

Samantha reached out to touch his face and she suddenly became very sad, “I haven’t seen you in

twenty-two years. You’ve grown old too. I still remember those days we had spent together when we

were kids. How happy and innocent we were! It was a shame that I failed you. I’m so sorry I failed

you…”

Tears were running down her face as she was talking.

Taking a walk down the memory lane, it was a time when they had been kids in the sixties. Marriages

between distant cousins were prevalent in the countryside back then. Therefore, Samantha and Mr.

Linderman had gotten engaged with mutual consent from their parents when Samantha was very

young. But Mr. Linderman was ten years older than Samantha. He had had to wait for her to grow up

and it was ten years later when Samantha finally turned sixteen years old.

While he had been looking forward to their wedding, Samantha was eager to leave their village to see

the bigger world before getting married. Their parents wouldn’t allow it, but Mr. Linderman was all in

favor of her decision.

He had been in love with her since they were little. Besides, he had waited for her for more than a

decade, he didn’t mind waiting for another year or two.

What he hadn't expected was that after a year, Samantha returned to the village, shattered and

pregnant.

She was carrying another man's child.

Mr. Linderman was devastated. But he didn’t complain. He was nice to her as always. It was only that

he became silent and skinny.

After several months, Samantha gave birth to a baby girl.

She asked him to take care of the baby. She left her home town again and never returned. She had

been wiring him a handsome sum of money every year as alimony.

Samantha had failed the entire family. Two years later, Mr. Linderman met Mrs. Linerman on a blind

date.

All in all, Samantha had owed Mr. Linderman too much.

Mr. Linderman’s eyelids twitched even more at Samantha’s self-condemning sobs. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Samantha continued, “I’ve met my baby. She’s grown into a tall and beautiful girl. Thank you for having

forgiven me and raised her for me. Thank you so much. You’re the best man I’ve ever seen in the

world, dear cousin. Please wake up. A good man like you should live a long and happy life. I’m the one

who deserves such a great misfortune, not you. I’m an ungrateful, greedy and vain woman!”
