The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 149

Nelson scratched his head, a little embarrassed, “Joey, forget what my mother has said. It wasn’t a mutual decision. To be honest, I’ve been seeing someone. Of course I’m not bragging or anything. We’re neighbors who will see a lot of each other, and I don’t want to make it awkward. That’s it. I’m going to work in the fields. Goodbye.”

Nelson smiled at Allen and left in hurry.

Watching Nelson leaving, Allen smiled, “It seems that not all the people in the village are so awful, at least Nelson is a fine young man.”

Joey smiled too. Nelson was a nice young man, sincere, simple and honest. There are more good people than bad ones in the world at all…”

Joey had intended to leave the village and go back to the city with Allen as soon as possible because of Ben Hawk. But she was very worried about her father who had been sick in bed ever since he fainted in a fit of rage. Thus she had decided to stay for a few more days, during which time she followed Allen closely all the time.

However, her plan inevitably fell though, because there were certain things that one usually wouldn’t do with others around, such as going to the bathroom.

One day, Allen had rushed into the bathroom and Joey was waiting at the door nervously. Ben Hawk quietly approached her from behind, as he had done in Thailand, and suddenly held her by the neck with one hand and covered her mouth with another. He quickly dragged her into the corn fields behind the house.

To his surprise, Joey didn’t fight back at all. She didn’t even call for help. She just allowed him to do it.

Ben Hawk was confused by her response. Once in the corn fields, he eagerly pushed her to the ground and threw himself onto her. But face to face, he saw no panic or fear in her eyes. Instead he found a calm and sarcastic smile on her face.

“Why are you smiling?”

He was confused, because her eyes were too calm to be true. He suddenly panicked.
