Chapter 176 A hickey on his neck
When Joey was hesitating at the door, she suddenly saw Ben Hawk walking out of the hotel
complacently. She was startled and quickly hid herself behind a standing advertisement board nearby.
Fiona emerged from the hotel after a short while.
Quite different from his heavy makeup in Thailand, Fiona wore a tailored white suit and a pony tail
without any makeup. It was simple, elegant, casual and powerful. Joey froze for a second at the sight
of him.
Joey came to her sense when Fiona walked passed her. She quickly emerged from behind the tree and
caught up with Fiona, “Hello, Fiona!”
Fiona turned around and saw Joey. He was a little surprised at first. But he was happy to see her,
“Joey, why are you here?”
“I’ve been worried about you. Ben Hawk…did he do anything to you?’
Fiona looked him up and down with concern.
Fiona paused for a second and pointed at the cafe across the road, “Why don’t we talk about it over a
cup of coffee?”
He walked directly toward the café and Joey quickly caught up with him.
They went up to the second floor where there were fewer customers and sat down next to a window.
Fiona chuckled when he found Joey staring at him the whole time. He shrugged, “You see, I'm fine.
Don't be so nervous. I’m much tougher than you. Ben Hawk wouldn’t dare to do anything to hurt me.”
“Really?”
Joey was still a little worried that Fiona wouldn’t tell the truth even if something had happened to him.
She suddenly saw a hickey on Fiona’s neck.
Joey went pale and became excited, “There is a…on your neck. God, he did it, right? Fiona, I’m so
sorry. It’s all my fault. How could I have gotten you in trouble? I…I will never forgive myself for it…”
Joey was sobbing. She hated herself for having put Fiona in danger at the hotel.
Fiona was very confused. He touched the hickey on his neck and shook his head, “Fiona, you got it
wrong. Ben Hawk didn’t hurt me. Someone else had left it on my neck.”
“Who?” Joey blurted out, but she realized she had made a mistake the minute she asked the question.
It was apparently a paying customer at the nightclub.
Fiona didn't seem to mind it. He smiled, “One of my regulars in Thailand. He thought my neck was
beautiful, so he liked to kiss…”
“Please don’t.” Joey stopped him from going into details about it. She knew Fiona was just trying to Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
relieve her guilt by convincing her that it wasn’t Ben Hawk.
Fiona smiled and called the waiter, “Two coffees, please.”
“No, one is fine. I'm not drinking coffee.” Joey instantly shook her head.
Fiona was confused, “I thought you liked coffee, with very little sugar.”
He had known her preferences in daily life during the week at his home.
Joey slightly lowered her head and blushed, “I…I’m pregnant.”
A pregnant woman shouldn’t drink coffee.
Fiona froze at the news. He said to the waiter, “Then a glass of juice, please.”
After the waiter was gone, he stared at Joey nervously and asked, “Is it…Allen’s?”
Joey would have been infuriated by the question if it wasn’t Fiona. But she knew Fiona has asked the
question simply out of concern for her. She looked at Fiona’s eyes calmly and confidently, “Yes, it’s
Allen’s baby and I got pregnant before I went to Thailand. I didn't know I was pregnant until recently.”
