The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 205

Chance was just being hypocritical. Apparently it was all part of Yolanda and his plan. But it was necessary for him to play the convincing part of Allen’s loyal friend. Or it would be too bad if George Charles found out that something was wrong

George Charles was obviously a man of his own mind. Chance’s simple last-minute advice didn’t have much effect on him. He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said with a straight face, “Allen is getting engaged to her tomorrow, and I would never allow her to get engaged to my son carrying another man’s child. It would be a disgrace not only to Allen, but to the Charles family. Besides, as you said, it’s just a possibility. It’s not certain that something bad will happen to her. She should have known how risky it would be from the moment she moved into the Charles house. If she took the risk, why shouldn’t I?”

Chance went silent and said nothing more.

The sky was getting dark outside, and colorful lights gradually lit up the night sky of the city.

Just then, Chance’s phone rang.

Chance said apologetically, “Uncle Charles, I’m going out to take the call.”

George Charles nodded, “Go ahead.”

Chance turned off the ringtone as soon as he went outside. No one was calling him. It was just an alarm clock he had set as a good excuse to get away from George Charles temporarily to make a very important call.

He was going to call Allen, of course, but he wasn’t going to tell Allen to come to Joey’s rescue. He was going to ask Allen out for a drink at the Elsner Club tonight.

Allen actually had gotten off work, but he was still sitting in his office, because he didn’t want to go home. The thought of Joey lying to him this morning about having gone to see Ben Hawk behind his back was infuriating. But he couldn’t lose his temper, because he was afraid that it would stimulate her emotionally.

In this case, Chance’s call couldn’t have come at a better time. Allen agreed without the slightest hesitation. He even told Chance to ask Martin to come along.

He had spent most of his spare time keeping Joey company these days. He couldn’t even remember how long it had been since he’d gone out drinking with his best friends.
