The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 187

Caught off guard in the middle of a passionate kiss, Lawrence was punched hard in the face and took a few steps back.

“Allen!”

Joey let out a cry of surprise and immediately emerged from behind the potted tree to stop Allen who tried to hit Lawrence again.

“Allen, how could hit him?”

Martha rushed to Lawrence anxiously and glared at Allen with reproach.

Allen gently pushed Joey away because he didn’t want to accidently hurt her later. He stared at Martha and Lawrence angrily, “Are you two insane? Do you have any idea what you’re doing? Lawrence, Martha is young and stupid. She doesn’t understand the gravity of the mistake you’re making. But how could you do such an outrageous thing? Don’t you remember what you’ve promised me?”

“What promise?”

Martha asked him anxiously, because there was clearly something that she didn't know.

Allen threw her a sharp glance, “It’s none of your business, and you needn’t know it.”

Martha had been fooling around all these years and he had said nothing about it, because she was his younger sister. But she had crossed the line and he would never allow it.

“Don’t be mad at her. It’s all my fault.”

Lawrence stepped forward to defend her. Allen had hit him really hard and his left face was red and swollen. Her mouth was bleeding too. “I’ll do what I promised you. It was just…a joke.”

He wiped the blood off his mouth and was about to leave.

Martha grabbed his hand and said with genuine anguish, “What did you say? The kiss was just a joke?”

Lawrence took a deep breath and said coldly, “What else? What do you think it was? I know you’re a crazy girl, so I was just playing along.”

He brushed her hand away and walked to the stairs without looking back.

Martha took a step back in shock. She looked at Lawrence’s back and burst into tears. A joke? Did he say that it was only a joke?
