The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 109 How it would end

Ben Hawk’s face went pale when he was warned by Allen. Before Joey arrived, he had quarreled with

Allen Charles for a while. He was told by Mrs. Linderman about Allen’s high social status. Thus he NôvelDrama.Org © content.

knew very well that it was more than a mere threat.

Mrs. Linderman, who had been watching it, panicked when she heard that Ben Hawk might be locked

up in prison for harassing Joey.

Why had both Ben Hawk and Allen Charles shown up here? It was simple. Mrs. Linderman had

planned it, because she wanted to break Joey and Allen up.

However, to her surprise, after Allen had learnt about Joey’s relationship with Ben Hawk, he was

furious, but instead of abandoning Joey immediately, he still decided to stay and protect her. There was

no sign of a nasty breakup.

Things hadn't turned out as she had expected. She was surprised at Allen’s devoted love to Joey.

“Vivian, go and stop Ben. Stop fighting. Your father is still lying in sickbed inside. It is too noisy for a

patient.”

Mrs. Linderman finally knew that she had made a mistake. She quickly nudged Vivian, asking her to

smooth things over.

But Vivian was furious, “There is no need to stop them. He’s fighting another man because of Joey, not

me. I’d rather slap him hard on the face right now. There is no way I would help him out.”

She turned around and limped away.

If her mother hadn’t called and promised a good play, she certainly wouldn’t have come here. Having

been tortured by Quentin this morning, every single step was excruciatingly painful for her.

In such great pain herself, she was in no mood to care about anything else, not even Ben Hawk.

Vivian hadn’t realized that after she had met Quentin, she had stopped caring much about Ben Hawk

like before.

Vivian’s departure suddenly overwhelmed Mrs. Linderman even more. It had been her plan, and now

she had no idea how it would end.

She worked up the courage to step forward to persuade them, “Ben, Mr. Charles, we’re not strangers

and there is no need to make a scene. Why don’t you stop fighting for my sake? Calm down. Let’s have

a nice talk.”

A suggestion of truce was exactly what Ben Hawk needed right now. He immediately let go of Joey, but

he still refused to admit his defeat, “You’re a mayor and you have a thing for another man’s ex-

girlfriend. Haha, all right. You can have my leftovers. I’m afraid you would regret it someday.”

He snorted, threw his head back and left.

Allen was infuriated by Ben Hawk’s explicit insult of Joey. His eyes were ferocious and he was jumping

onto Ben Hawk to give him a good lesson.

Allen had put up with him for quite a while.

Unfortunately, he had been stopped by Martin and Chance.

And he was stopped again.

It was Joey this time.

“Allen…”

Joey held his slightly cold hands tightly. She wanted to explain it to him. She refused to let go of his

hands, because she was afraid that he would never be hers again once she released them.

Allen froze when Joey called his name. He didn’t go after Ben Hawk. He turned around and smiled,

“You don’t need to say anything, because I’ve already known everything. It just occurred to me that my

parents had told me to go home for dinner tonight. I’m not staying with you to look after your father at

the hospital. I’ve got to go.”

After saying that, he gently pushed her hands away, turned around and walked away quickly.

“Allen…Allen…”

Joey tried to catch up with him, but stopped when she noticed his trembling body from the back. It was

very painful sight for her and she couldn’t breathe.

“Allen, don’t go. Please listen to me…”

Joey dropped to her knees and wept.

Allen had never left her alone like he had just done. Under normal circumstances, Allen would have

invited her to go home with him to see his parents, but this time…he had just left without her.
