The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 159

Joey worked up the courage to talk to Philip for several times, but she didn’t know where to start after what she had gone through at the party.

She got up and was about to leave in silence.

Just then, she heard Philip’s disappointed voice, “Don't you have anything to say to me?”

Joey stopped and turned around to look at Philip, “What do you expect me to say?”

Philip was suddenly frustrated, “Aren’t you curious about why I’ve become Martha’s boyfriend?”

Joey, in a trance, thought she should have asked the question, “Why?”

It was a heartbreaking question. Philip was hurt by her ignorance.

“Nothing. Just…for fun.”

Philip suddenly didn’t want to tell her the real reason, because she wouldn’t care about it after all.

He was totally unaware that Joey hated the word “fun” most. For Mrs. Charles, Allen had been playing a game with Joey. Now Philip was having fun with Martha. The implication of the word was annoying for her.

“Have as much fun as you’d like. I’m interested.”

Joey glared at Philip and turned around to leave. She started to look for Allen in the crowd.

Watching Joey leave angrily, Philip emptied his glass in one gulp. He was restless and agitated.

He had become Martha’s boyfriend for Joey.

The trip to Thailand had taught him that the relationship between Joey and Allen Charles was too strong to sabotage. He knew how much Joey had been in love with Allen Charles, which was heartbreaking and frustrating for him. His determination “not to give up on Joey as long as she’s not married” seemed ridiculous now.

He wasn't as determined as before.

However, as he had done back in college, he was being foolish again.
