The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 61

Philip shook his head with a subtle bitter smile.

Last night, he heard Joey calling a man’s name in her sleep, and it was Allen Charles. It broke his heart.

He wouldn’t have been so upset if she had called Ben Hawk’s name in her sleep. Now there was another man in the picture. He believed that he wouldn’t have a shot with Joey anymore.

Just then, they heard a loud rumbling sound coming from above. It was a man’s anxious voice on the loudspeaker: Joey, Joey, baby, baby, where are you? Could you hear me? Come home, my baby…

“Allen…it’s Allen’s voice!”

Joey jumped to her feet in surprise. She immediately ran out of the cave and looked up. A helicopter was hovering in the sky and Allen Charles was standing at the open door with a loudspeaker in his hand, calling her name nonstop.

“Allen, I’m here. Allen, I’m right here. Look over here…”

Joey waved at the low-altitude flying helicopter.

Fortunately, she was wearing the same orange sportswear as yesterday. It was an eye-catching color, so Allen instantly identified her.

Allen quickly asked the pilot to go near her and put down the hanging ladder. He climbed down the ladder himself and grabbed Joey. Spinning in the air face-to- face, they couldn't take their eyes off each other.

“Allen, why are you here?”

Joey was excited that he had come to her rescue unexpectedly. It was so heartwarming that she almost burst into tears.

Allen pretended to be angry, “You would fall into the wrong hands if I didn't show up in time.”

He took an unfriendly glance at Philip who was still standing outside the cave down there.

He had gotten into an intense fight with Philip when they met for the first time. Obviously, they disliked each other from the very beginning.

Joey was suddenly reminded of Philip who was still trapped in the cave, “Allen, why don’t you help Philip? He would be in jeopardy if the river surged again.”

Allen frowned, “I would like to get you out of here first. Don’t worry. It stopped raining and the river won’t surge again.”

After saying that, he shook the ladder hard. Someone instantly pulled the ladder and got them board.
