The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 38

Once Joey broke free from Ben Hawk’s claws, she was all mad and revengeful. She scratched his face with her sharp nails without thinking too much. His face was instantly covered in bloody wounds.

“Ouch!”Ben Hawk cried out in pain and covered his face with his hands, trembling. A horny man a moment ago, now he was soft in suffering,

Joey was startled by her aggressiveness too. She decided that she couldn’t stay here anymore. She quickly ran out of the kitchen and left home.

“Joey, what’s going on…”

Her father was worried.

But she was too scared to stop to answer his question. In order to run faster, she kicked off her high-heeled shoes on the way downstairs and ran as fast as she could.

However, Allen Charles had driven away.

She froze for a second before running away from the neighborhood barefoot. She kept running and running, regardless of rubbles, broken glass or rusty nails on the road. Her feet hurt very much, but she couldn't care less about it at the moment

All she wanted to do was to stay far away from Ben Hawk. The farther she ran away, the safer she would be.

After dozens of minutes, she couldn’t run any further. Her feet were bleeding, leaving blood footprints along the way that drew great attention from passersby.

Some of them found her legs under her professional suit long and beautiful and couldn't look away. Others were astonished by the blood footprints, suspecting that she was insane running like crazy with no shoes on.

Surrounded by curious looks, Joey lowered her head and kept walking in pain. Having left her purse at home, she was now penniless. And her phone had been smashed by Ben Hawk. She had no idea where she should go.

She was lost and helpless. Just then, there came a familiar voice from her behind, “Joey?”

She turned around and found Philip standing in the sun. He was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, simple and classic. His face was young and charming as usual, only with a touch of weariness and anxiety.

“Joey, it’s really you.”
