The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 181

“Don’t say that.” Allen interrupted Chance and put his arms around Joey, “Baby, the show is over. Let’s go home. It's time for you and our baby to go to bed.”

“But Fiona…”Joey was worried about him.

“It’s his decision to make. Don’t you see that it’s something he wants to do? Don’t worry. Maybe that's exactly what he wants.”

Allen frowned. Joey always cared for everyone around her, which sometimes bothered him very much.

Joey froze for a second. Perhaps Allen was right. She had no idea what Fiona had wanted. Shawn was a notorious and scary man for her. But he was probably a rare opportunity for Fiona.

Joey finally nodded and left with Allen and his friends. When she walked past Fiona, she saw him nodding at her with a reassuring smile.

Joey gave Fiona a knowing smile and was greatly relieved. Everyone had his own way of life. She might never understand Fiona’s, but she knew she should respect his choice, though it was more likely to be a very hard one. Fiona was her friend and that was enough for her.

“Is she your friend?” The eye contact between Fiona and Joey didn’t escape Shawn. He slightly narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.

Fiona shook his head and smiled, “No!”

It would only cause Joey trouble if he admitted it.

“Then why are you smiling at each other?” Shawn wasn’t convinced.

“Just felt like it.” Fiona raised his eyebrows and sipped the wine.

Annoyed by Fiona’s cavalier attitude, Shawn said coldly, “Come spend the night with me!”

“Sure!”

Fiona agreed without the slightest hesitation and added, “Only if you agree to two conditions.”

Shawn laughed, “I like your straightforwardness. Great! What are they?”

“First condition, I want half a million dollars.”

Shawn nodded, “It's a bit expensive, but you're really worth it. What’s the second one?”

“I’ll tell you in bed.”

Fiona was calm and distant, as if he was talking about someone else.

Shawn froze for a second, “The second condition, I hope it’s not keeping my hands off you.”

Fiona laughed, “You have a great sense of humor.”

The two of them didn't wait for another second. They stood up and left to get a room in the hotel.
