The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

"You are so stubborn!" Martin paused while shaking his head. He then continued, "I suppose Allen doesn't know about it, right?" "No, he doesn't."

Joey also shook her head sadly. But then she grabbed Martin's arms and begged, "Please, don't tell him about it!"

"If you still insist, it will be damage both to you and Allen!"

Martin raised his arms to slowly get rid of hers. He continued with a cold voice, "You still insist on your mind, but what about Allen? Have you thought about his feelings? You should spare him a choice! You should let him decide on his own if he should do the same crazy thing with you or just get clear about the fact!"

In other words, Martin didn't want to conceal the fact from Allen for her anymore.

Tears welled up in Joey's eyes immediately. She sobbed, "You don't even know how hard I have been through all these! Cuz you don't even experience the same thing as I do! You know what? My soul has been burning out of guilt. Every single day I live really tortures me! I can't eat well! Nor can I fall asleep at night! Even during slumber, I would always wake up because of nightmare! It hurts my heart so much! And I just want to suffer on my own and I don't want Allen to be involved in pain!"

Upon hearing that, Martin seemed to soften.

He kept silent for quite a while. He then turned around and entered Room 1013, where Allen rested.

Joey bit her lip hard and followed.

She was still struggling in pain in her heart. She wasn't sure if Martin would change his mind because of her words. Nor did she know if Martin would tell Allen the truth. What she could do now was follow Martin and leave him no chance to tell Allen the truth since she couldn't stop him from meeting Allen.

Allen didn't watch TV in the room, but sat in front of his laptop to deal with the files sent by his secretary. As he just heard the door opened, he immediately closed his laptop and turned on the TV, pretending he was still watching.

He didn't want to worry Joey, who would definitely feel anxious if she saw him still working at this moment. When facing Joey, Allen just wanted to do his best to let her rest at ease.

Joey followed Martin in. Allen walked over with surprise. He reached out his hand to hold Joey in his arms though she just left for a while. He then smiled at Martin, "Hey, what are you here? I remember I haven't noticed you I am here yet! You are really well-informed!" Since his friendship with Chance ruptured, he valued his friendship with Marin even more.

The three grew up together and they were deeply connected with brotherhood. However, Chance's betrayal failed the brotherhood among them.

Martin glanced at Allen's hand holding Joey's waist. He then smiled, "Come on! I know you have all your mind on your girl and you don't even remember to notice me that you are in hospital! I gotta be mad at you!"

"All my mind on my girl? That should be your style! Do you still remember what you have done in the past for your girl? Come on, I have been used to it! I should be the one who blame you for that!"

Allen raised his head and hit his shoulder jokingly.

That was their style to say hi.

Martin scratched his head awkwardly and threw out his hand, "Okay, I know you have a sharp tongue!"

Joey breathed a sigh of relief when seeing that. It seemed that Martin wouldn't tell the truth so far.

Then, Allen watched soccer match with Martin and even shouted out of joy. When the team they supported scored a goal, they even hugged together.

Of course, Allen would then hug Joey as well.

When Martin wanted to hug Joey also for celebration, Allen would just kick his ass.

Martin rolled on the ground and shouted to accuse him.

Allen then threw a pillow against him and shouted, "Get off, idiot!"

It was rare for Joey to see Allen's happy face. Tears welled up in her eyes all of a sudden. She seemed to realize why Martin just said so. It was not only for his concern about her, but also for Allen. Their brotherhood must be the same deep as her friendship with Sarah. The two men kept watching the soccer match for two hours. It was not until Samantha called Martin that he finally said goodbye to Allen.

Joey then saw him out the door.

When the door was closed, only Joey and Martin were standing outside. His smile disappeared suddenly. He then fixed his eyes coldly on her as before.
