The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 173 He played a dirty trick

Just then, Allen came back with the soup and asked when he found she was in a daze with the phone

in her hand, “Baby, what are you thinking?”

Joey was startled, but she quickly came to her sense and smiled, “Thinking of you, of course.”

The problem of Ben Hawk was still out there, but as Fiona had promised, he would take care of it for

her. Joey had no doubt of his ability.

Joey was in a better mood now.

“Well, aren't you a naughty girl?”

Allen patted her gently on the head. He took out all the soups of different flavors for her to choose from.

A good mood often meant a good appetite. She was starving.

Allen was happy to see her eating the soup ravenously. He asked subconsciously, “Baby, you told me

there was something you wanted to tell me. What is it?”

He was surprised by Joey’s earnestness and resolve when she had brought it up. Thus he couldn't help

wondering about the important thing that she had intended to tell him.

Joey was surprised. She slowly lowered her eyes.

She had been so helpless and desperate that she had intended to make a full confession to Allen

about Ben Hawk. But now that Fiona had promised to solve the problem for her, she didn’t have the

courage to tell him about it.

She paused for a while and said a little guiltily, “It’s Fiona. He’s coming to see me. I think we should

meet each other as friends. Allen, will you be mad at me?”

“Just for this?” Allen shook his head and smiled, “How could I be jealous of a ladyboy?”

His contempt for Fiona was evident.

Joey wasn’t happy to hear it, “Allen, you shouldn't despise anyone that’s different from you. A ladyboy

deserves to be respected. Besides, Fiona has been really nice to me.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

Allen quickly apologized and said, “To show my respect for him, I will accompany you to go to meet him

and look at him in the eye to show that I’ve actually treated him as a man and a love rival all the time!”

“Allen!”

Joey was surprised to be played a joke on. She picked up a pillow and threw it at Allen who was

smiling and making a face at her.

In the meanwhile, the atmosphere in another ward was totally different.

A beautiful middle-aged woman was lying stiffly in the bed with her eyes closed. Her face was exquisite

with golden proportions. But time had left fine wrinkles on her extremely pale skin. One would assume

that she was dead if her chest wasn’t heaving slightly with regular breathing.

Sitting by the woman’s side with a sad face, Chance held her hands and gently massaged them, and

said gently, “Mom, she came to the hospital today. What should I do? The closer I got to her and the

more I knew about her, the more deeply I’ve fallen in love with her. These days, I kept warning myself

not to betray Allen, because he’s always treated me like a real brother. But…I'm losing control of

myself.”

Chance was gently and lovingly massaging her hands one after the other. He paused for a second and

continued, “They’re getting engaged at the end of this month. Mom, do you think I should do something

to stop it? I’ll probably never have another chance in my life if I missed this one…”

Chance was talking to himself. He had developed the habit of spilling everything to his mother Leila in

the past decades.

“Mon, if you were awake, what would you suggest me to do? To let go, or fight for it?”

After giving his mother a full-body massage, Chance went to the window and slightly narrowed his eyes Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

to enjoy the views outside.

After quite a while, he drew the curtains and left the room. The moment he walked out the door, he took

the phone out of his pocket and called someone that he hadn’t contacted for a long time.

“Hey, it’s been a while. Why are you giving me a surprise call?”

When the phone was answered, there came a woman’s elegant and cheerful voice from the end other

of the phone.

Chance put on a wicked smile on his face. He came straight to the point without any pleasantries,

“Yolanda, Allen is getting engaged.”

…

There was a sudden silence on the other end. The woman seemed to be shocked by the news. After a

while, she asked with a trembling voice, “To whom?”
