The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 185

“Hello!” Allen took a deep breath, trying to answer the phone in a calm tone.

“Allen, it’s me!” There came a female voice from the other end of the phone that was too familiar to not recognize. It was humble and cheerful, “It’s been four years. How are you doing?”

Allen smiled, “Great.”

He was doing great because he had Joey now.

Yolanda paused for a second. She could detect a note of happiness and contentment in his voice. She said softly, “I’m home.”

Allen was silent.

Yolanda was finally hurt by his indifference. But she knew she was in no position to be mad at him. She said sadly, “Allen, won’t you come and see me? We haven’t seen each other for four years. Haven’t you missed me at all?”

Allen’s heart sunk. He had missed her sometimes, because she was his first girlfriend after all. He remembered how happy they had been back in college.

However, time had taken its toll on everyone. No matter how deeply they had been in love with one another, time had erased it all. Besides, Yolanda had abandoned him to pursue her dreams. He had hated her guts once, but he had gotten over it and moved on. Joey was the woman that he loved right now.

Joey had mended his broken heart and now he was very happy.

“Yolanda, there’s no point in dwelling on the past. I’ve a girlfriend and we love each other very much.”

Allen paused for a second and told her the truth frankly. He was a devoted boyfriend and he would never do anything to hurt Joey.

Yolanda was stunned. She hadn’t expected Allen to reject her so flatly. She had been very confident when she decided to make the call. She had even imagined that he would be thrilled to hear the news of her return and ask to see her immediately. But his reaction was completely out of her expectation.
