The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 49

“Philip, why are you here?”

Joey was surprised to see Philip. She looked at Sarah, confused.

Joey had known that Sarah had broken up with Philip. Then why did Philip follow her to the remote and mountainous area? Did he want to take Sarah back?

Kept in the dark, Joey just assumed that Philip must come here to look for Sarah.

Philip stared at Joey with his earnest sparkling eyes and smiled, “I got a text message from Sarah this morning. She told me that you were going on a trip to the Village of Giant Salamanders. I thought I could take a few days off to get away from urban noise and enjoy nature.”

Sarah, who was standing next to Joey, secretly frowned on his lack of courage, “Philip, why don’t you just spill it out? Tell Joey that you came here for her. You are such a coward!”

Joey asked Sarah in surprise, “Sarah, when did you send Philip the message? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Sarah felt a little bit awkward. When John Walter had asked Joey to come here with him, Sarah instantly became aware of his real intentions. Thus before leaving, she decided to tell Philip about the trip because she knew he would certainly show up, In that case, John Walter’s plan would fall through.

However, Sarah couldn’t tell Joey the truth. She gave a dry chuckle, “I just did it for your good. With your foot injuries, I thought Philip might be helpful. He is a strong young man and can carry you if we go up the mountain. ”

“I don't think it is a good idea.”

Joey said, “It would not be an easy job to carry a grown-up up the mountain. Besides, Philip isn’t your boyfriend anymore. Don’t bother him with such trifles.”

Sarah quickly gave in, “Sorry, my bad. But Philip came anyway and is standing right in front of us in good shape now. Why do you care about him so much? You’re not his ex-girlfriend, I am.”

Joey recognized a jealous edge in Sarah’s voice. She gave Sarah a little push and explained, “What are you talking about? I just care about him as a good friend.”

Embarrassed, Joey glanced at Philip and found him smiling and blushing. It seemed that he liked what he had just heard.

It suddenly came to her that Philip…might like her.

But soon Joey shook her head. It was impossible.
