The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 87 His heart softened



"Really?"

Martin wasn't convinced. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Joey...

"I swear to God I'm telling the truth." Joey looked at his eyes with determination.

Martin thought for a moment and slowly let go of her. He got up, went back to the driver's seat, took off his coat and handed it to Joey in the backseat, "Put it on. I guess you should have told me sooner."

Joey was too afraid to take it over. She just put her hands around her knees, curled up in the backseat and motionless. She felt wronged and tears well up in her eyes. But she was too proud to shed tears in front of him. She bit her lips and said, "I'm getting off the car." Martin didn't respond and kept asking, "Does Allen know this?"

Rattled by the sharp question, Joey answered honestly, "Not yet."

Martin was angry again. He turned around to stare at her. His eyes were ferocious, "So are you planning to keep it from him?"

Joey flinched and quickly shook her head, "No, I've been trying to find a chance tell him the truth. Please don't tell him now. I'll tell him myself as soon as possible."

Indeed, she had been planning to tell Allen about it all the time. However, during the time she had spent with Allen, she had gradually learnt that he was actually a perfectionist who was very strict with himself and others around him. She loved him, but she feared that he wouldn't take it well if he knew about Ben Hawk. She didn't want to lose him, because she had fallen deeply in love with him.

Martin's heart softened when he saw her pleading eyes. He nodded, "All right, I promise."Then he suddenly realized that he might have been too easy-going with her. His face fell and warned, "I'll give you a week. If you won't tell him, then I will. I don't want Allen to be kept in the dark, even if your lie isn't ill-intended."

After saying that, he opened the car door, got off the car and went across the street.

"Hey, I'm getting off the car too."

Joey tried to get off the car when she found that he had left without saying anything to her. She didn't dare to stay with him in the car anymore. She was shocked to find that he had locked with car from outside with remote control. She couldn't open the door. Several minutes later, Martin returned with a paper bag. He threw it at her once he got in the car, "I'm sorry I ripped your shirt. Here is a new shirt and I think you might need it. Please put it on. I won't look."

Joey froze for a second. She opened the bag and found a new shirt, very similar to the old one, but way more expensive than hers.

She had the impulse to reject it for being too expensive, but she was intimated by his ferocious look a moment ago. She said nothing, and replaced her torn shirt with the new one.

Though Martin had promised not to sneak a look, she was too frightened to take any chances.

She was unaware that if Martin had made up his mind to hurt her, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Martin noticed her hesitation in the rear mirror and slightly shook his head, laughing, "Now, where are you going?"

"I'm going home." Joey snapped.

"No, you can't." Martin rejected her.

"Why?" Joey was confused, staring at the back of his head.

"Your face is swollen. I'm afraid Allen would certainly suspect something if you show up with so many bruises. If he decided to get to the bottom of it, what would you do? So you'd better go back home when the swelling subsides."

Joey agreed with him. She touched her swollen face and frowned, "Ben Hawk really hit me with no mercy. I'm afraid it wouldn't get any better tomorrow. But I have to go to work."

man.

She had dated Ben Hawk for four years and he had never hit her before. She had thought he was a real gentleman. It turned out that he had just been very good at hiding his true colors. Once he knew it was over between them, he had proved himself to a revengeful petty However, she didn't hate him, either. She was glad that she had come to know his true colors; otherwise she would have to spend the rest of her life living with such a despicable cheater.

Martin looked at her swollen face in the rear mirror and thought for a moment. He suddenly started the engine and drove very fast.

"What are you doing?" Joey tried to stabilize herself.

"You'll see when get there."

Martin smiled and drove the car to Chance's clinic.

However, he still didn't allow Joey to get off the car. He locked her in the car and walked straight into Chance's luxurious private office. 000000
