The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 151

“Nothing,” Joey instantly shook her head and asked, “Allen, when are we going back to the city?”

She had gone on leave for quite a while with the company, but as a newcomer in the general manager’s office, she couldn't afford to stay away for much longer.

“Whenever you want to.” Allen stroked her hair affectionately.

“How about tomorrow? My father is basically recovered after all.”

She couldn’t stay any longer.

“All right.”

Allen’s hands slowly slid from her face down to her delicate collarbone and all the way into the fair skin under her shirt.

“Oh, Allen…”

Joey quickly grabbed his hands and complained, “Stop that! It's broad daylight!”

“No, I won’t, I’m doing something really important.”

Allen smiled with amusement and climbed on top of her.

However, Joey had just been so frightened by Ben Hawk in the corn fields that she wasn’t in a mood for sex at all. She pushed him away, jumped out of bed and ran to the door, chuckling, “Since you are so strong and energetic, why don’t you do some farm work for my father while you're still here? My father has been lying in bed for a few days and there is plenty of work to do.”

Allen was intrigued by her suggestion, “I’d love to. I’ve never done any farm work before. Let’s go and have some fun.”

He found a hoe in the courtyard and they left for the fields.

Joey knew that it was a just novelty for Allen. But she decided to go along with it because they had nothing better to do right now.

When they passed a corn field, there came a sound of repressed panting of a man and a woman from it.

Joey immediately blushed. It was daytime, who was bold enough to have sex in the cornfields?

Allen was interested, “Let's find out.”

He quietly walked towards the source of the sound with Joey.

Joey was so embarrassed by his great curiosity that she hurriedly lowered her voice, “Allen, no, how could we do that? It's so inappropriate.”

As she spoke, two crazily intertwining bodies vaguely came into their sight. Allen and Joey were shocked when they saw the lovers’ faces.

Joey was sad and confused. She and Allen had just seen Nelson and Mrs. Quigley having an affair in the cornfield yesterday afternoon. How could such a young man have died all of a sudden?

He was only twenty-three years old.

Joey immediately left home to ask for more details from other villagers. It turned out that it was more serious and complicated than she had thought, because Mrs. Quigley had died with Nelson.

They had both died, for love.

This morning, Nelson confessed his love affair with Mrs. Quigley to his mother Aunt Nancy, and decided to marry her. Aunt Nancy was shocked to hear it.

Mrs. Quigley was a pretty young woman, but she was a widow who had married someone from the same village before. Aunt Nancy certainly wouldn’t allow it.

However, Nelson had made up his mind to marry his lover. He threatened to elope with Mrs. Quigley when he found that his mother was against it.

Aunt Nancy had climbed up the mountain behind her house in a fit of anger and tried to persuade her son out of the idea with her death.

Nelson had always been a filial son. Intimidated, he had knelt down before Aunt Nancy and caved in with tears.

However, when Aunt Nancy had been about to descend from the mountaintop after a victory, she suddenly slipped and fell down. Nelson quickly caught her and stopped her from rolling down the mountain. But he was uncontrollably knocked out of the mountain because of inertia.
