The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 228 He turned her down

Philip, who was apparently aroused, suddenly grabbed her hand and stopped her.

He looked at her affectionately, “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Joey bit her lips and nodded with determined eyes, “Yes.”

“Why?” He asked.

“Because…” Joey had wanted to return his love. But she suddenly realized it would only be an insult to

him if she told the truth.

However, Philip knew the answer, even if she didn’t say it. He rolled over and pushed her away. He sat

up and smiled sadly, “You want to repay me, right?”

“I…” She was speechless.

He stood up and smoothed his robe with his back turned on her in bed, “It’s getting late. Go back to

your room.”

“Philip…” She stared at his back and suddenly felt very ashamed. She had swallowed her pride and

offered herself to him, but only to be turned down so embarrassingly. She was terribly ashamed of

herself.

However, when she bit her lips in shame, rushed to the door and put her hand on the doorknob, Philip

suddenly said behind her, “I’ve been good to you because I love you, but my love doesn’t require such

an act in return. If you fall in love with me one day, I will want you even if you don’t come to me, do you

understand?”

For him, the prerequisite of sex was love. If Joey didn’t love him, but decided to have sex with him to

repay his kindness, neither of them would be happy.

Joey was very touched. She slowly turned and said in a choked voice, “Thank you!”

She would be eternally grateful for his kindness, love and generosity.

He was a real gentleman.

At this moment, she realized that her love was the only thing that Philip wanted in return, not her body.

But…she had lost the ability to love a man four years ago…

The next day, she quitted all her work and went to the airport to book two tickets for their return

tomorrow. Then she went to Zelda’s private psychological clinic.

Zelda wasn’t her therapist’s real name. It was just her English name. She was a very good psychiatrist,

but more importantly, she was the adopted daughter of Philip’s South Korean mother.

Zelda was a very beautiful young woman. She looked graceful yet indifferent.

She slightly raised her head when Joey showed up, “He called me yesterday and asked me to give you

a test. Take a seat. I’m starting the test now. Remember, you must tell me the truth in your heart so that

I can make an accurate judgment.”

“Ok, I won’t hide anything from you.”

Joey nodded and then took a series of tests.

Half an hour later, Zelda concluded that Joey had indeed made a complete recovery.

Joey thanked Zelda and was about to leave when Zelda suddenly asked, “Will you fall in love with

him?” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Of course, she was referring to Philip.

She wondered whether Joey would fall in love with Philip, because she had witnessed everything going

on between Joey and Philip in the past four years.

Joey froze. She slowly turned around and looked at Zelda’s eyes. She sighed after a while and shook

her head, “I don’t know.”

She truly didn’t know the answer.

She had thought about letting go of the past and trying her best to fall in love with Philip in the past four

years, but…despite her deep gratitude, something was missing between them. Perhaps there was no

chemistry between them.

Zelda stared at her with bright eyes, as if she had read Joey’s mind, “I see. It’s a pity that he doesn’t

get it.”

Philip didn’t know why Joey’s love was always out of reach the same way he was unaware that Zelda’s

love was always within reach.

Joey saw Zelda’s sadness, and she couldn’t help asking, “You like him, don’t you?”

It was a woman’s intuition. She had suspected that Zelda hadn’t treated Philip as her brother since the

moment he introduced Zelda to her as a psychologist.

Zelda didn’t shy away from her question. She nodded boldly and admitted it, “I do like him. I’ve loved

him from the moment I saw him when I was adopted by his mother. Unfortunately, he’s only taken me

as his younger sister. He loves you.”

Joey didn’t know what to say. Under such circumstances, she could neither encourage her to fight for it

nor persuade her to give up on Philip. She suddenly felt that she shouldn’t have asked such a foolish

question.
