The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 228

Philip, who was apparently aroused, suddenly grabbed her hand and stopped her.

He looked at her affectionately, “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Joey bit her lips and nodded with determined eyes, “Yes.”

“Why?” He asked.

“Because…” Joey had wanted to return his love. But she suddenly realized it would only be an insult to him if she told the truth.

However, Philip knew the answer, even if she didn’t say it. He rolled over and pushed her away. He sat up and smiled sadly, “You want to repay me, right?”

“I…” She was speechless.

He stood up and smoothed his robe with his back turned on her in bed, “It’s getting late. Go back to your room.”

“Philip…” She stared at his back and suddenly felt very ashamed. She had swallowed her pride and offered herself to him, but only to be turned down so embarrassingly. She was terribly ashamed of herself.

However, when she bit her lips in shame, rushed to the door and put her hand on the doorknob, Philip suddenly said behind her, “I’ve been good to you because I love you, but my love doesn’t require such an act in return. If you fall in love with me one day, I will want you even if you don’t come to me, do you understand?”

For him, the prerequisite of sex was love. If Joey didn’t love him, but decided to have sex with him to repay his kindness, neither of them would be happy.

Joey was very touched. She slowly turned and said in a choked voice, “Thank you!”

She would be eternally grateful for his kindness, love and generosity.

He was a real gentleman.

At this moment, she realized that her love was the only thing that Philip wanted in return, not her body. But…she had lost the ability to love a man four years ago…

The next day, she quitted all her work and went to the airport to book two tickets for their return tomorrow. Then she went to Zelda’s private psychological clinic.

Zelda wasn’t her therapist’s real name. It was just her English name. She was a very good psychiatrist, but more importantly, she was the adopted daughter of Philip’s South Korean mother.
