The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 173

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.”
