Chapter 276
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
Could you be my girlfriend?
Martin had never once asked a woman formally to accept his love.
Born in a rich family, not only did he have a charming look that was able to make women went crazy over him, his family background and power were even more fascinating. Hence, if he wanted a girlfriend, all he needed to do was to wave and these women would immediately rush into his embrace.
Because of this, Martin had never loved someone sincerely in his life, as these women were not worth his love at all.
Until this moment.
Martin had fallen in love. He really liked Joey and wanted her to be his only girlfriend. If possible, he wanted to marry her too. His heart had wandered for twenty four years, now he finally wanted to settle down.
God knew how much courage he mustered before saying these words to Joey. He was clearly aware of the things that had happened between Joey and Allen these years. He knew that there was a high possibility that his confession would be rejected. However, even if he only had a slim opportunity, he still wanted to try his luck.
He didnât want to have regrets in the future.
But little did he know, Joey was stunned hearing these words that implied he had feelings for her.
Joey couldnât react for a while. She looked at Martin with a forced smile on her face and said, âYou... youâre just joking right? This joke wasnât funny at all...â
What a joke. She was his half-sister, how could she possibly be his girlfriend!
Furthermore, he was a great friend of Allen. With this, even if she did not have any blood relation with Martin, it was still impossible between them. Of course, the most important point here was she didnât had that kind of feelings for Martin!
But Martinâs serious look and perseverance were beyond her expectation. Seeing that Joey couldnât face his words, Martin said in a serious tone, âI wasnât joking, Iâm serious now! I knew everything about your past relationship with Allen, but that was all in the past now. Itâs been four years since youâve broken up with him, he had also married another woman. Itâs impossible between you and him, thatâs why I confessed my feelings for you. Iâm not asking you to promise me now, Iâll give you time to consider. You can reply me again once youâve thought about it. No matter how long it takes, Iâll wait for your answer.â
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me ï¤Chapter 275 Being Fooled with At this time, Martin didnât know that she was still entangled with Allen. He also didnât know that Allen was trying to get back together with her, because Allen had never mentioned this matter to him. Perhaps, every men had a secret that he kept to himself only.
Looking at Martinâs serious face, Joey wanted to kill herself for a short while. She really wanted to yell at Martin, âIâm your sister. Your sister!â But at that time, she couldnât tell him the truth yet, because there were many things that she had not done yet. If the truth was revealed too early, it would only hinder her actions.
After a moment of silent, Joey decided that since it was impossible between them, there was no point to give him any hope. Hence, she replied him seriously, âI donât need any time to consider, and I can give you my answer right now. Iâm sorry. I canât accept you. Even if things were impossible between me and Allen, I couldnât fall in love with you as well. Itâs more suitable for us to be... siblings.â
Joey wanted to try guiding Martin to understand her position with him earlier.
But clearly, when a woman was rejecting a man younger than her, she should never use the word âsiblingsâ.
As soon as Martin heard this word, his whole expression changed immediately. He fixed his gaze on Joey and said, âDo you think Iâm not mature enough? Even if Iâm three years younger than you, Iâm definitely not naive mentally compared to you. If you donât believe me, you can try being in a relationship with me first.â
Joey had a headache, âThis isnât what I mean. In short, I canât be your girlfriend. Iâm getting off the car now.â
After finishing her words, Joey just wanted to open the door and got off the car. It would only be worse if they continued talking about this matter.
Martin stretched out his arm and grabbed Joeyâs hand. His eyes were filled with seriousness and said, âSince you didnât want to be my girlfriend, we could skip the relationship process. Letâs get married!â
âBoom!â
Joey felt a thunder struck inside her mind, and she almost fell from the car seat...
