Chapter 228 He turned her down


    Philip, who was apparently aroused, suddenly grabbed her hand and stopped her.


    He looked at her affectionately, “Are you sure you want to do this?”


    Joey bit her lips and nodded with determined eyes, “Yes.”


    “Why?” He asked.


    “Because…” Joey had wanted to return his love. But she suddenly realized it would only be an insult to


    him if she told the truth.


    However, Philip knew the answer, even if she didn’t say it. He rolled over and pushed her away. He sat


    up and smiled sadly, “You want to repay me, right?”


    “I…” She was speechless.


    He stood up and smoothed his robe with his back turned on her in bed, “It’s gettingte. Go back to


    your room.”


    “Philip…” She stared at his back and suddenly felt very ashamed. She had swallowed her pride and


    offered herself to him, but only to be turned down so embarrassingly. She was terribly ashamed of


    herself.


    However, when she bit her lips in shame, rushed to the door and put her hand on the doorknob, Philip


    suddenly said behind her, “I’ve been good to you because I love you, but my love doesn’t require such


    an act in return. If you fall in love with me one day, I will want you even if you don’te to me, do you


    understand?”


    For him, the prerequisite of sex was love. If Joey didn’t love him, but decided to have sex with him to


    repay his kindness, neither of them would be happy.


    Joey was very touched. She slowly turned and said in a choked voice, “Thank you!”


    She would be eternally grateful for his kindness, love and generosity.


    He was a real gentleman.


    At this moment, she realized that her love was the only thing that Philip wanted in return, not her body.


    But…she had lost the ability to love a man four years ago…


    The next day, she quitted all her work and went to the airport to book two tickets for their return


    tomorrow. Then she went to Zelda’s private psychological clinic.


    Zelda wasn’t her therapist’s real name. It was just her English name. She was a very good psychiatrist,


    but more importantly, she was the adopted daughter of Philip’s South Korean mother.


    Zelda was a very beautiful young woman. She looked graceful yet indifferent.


    She slightly raised her head when Joey showed up, “He called me yesterday and asked me to give you


    a test. Take a seat. I’m starting the test now. Remember, you must tell me the truth in your heart so that


    I can make an urate judgment.”


    “Ok, I won’t hide anything from you.”


    Joey nodded and then took a series of tests.


    Half an hourter, Zelda concluded that Joey had indeed made aplete recovery.


    Joey thanked Zelda and was about to leave when Zelda suddenly asked, “Will you fall in love with


    him?”


    Of course, she was referring to Philip.


    She wondered whether Joey would fall in love with Philip, because she had witnessed everything going


    on between Joey and Philip in the past four years.


    Joey froze. She slowly turned around and looked at Zelda’s eyes. She sighed after a while and shook


    her head, “I don’t know.”


    She truly didn’t know the answer.


    She had thought about letting go of the past and trying her best to fall in love with Philip in the past four


    years, but…despite her deep gratitude, something was missing between them. Perhaps there was no


    chemistry between them.


    Zelda stared at her with bright eyes, as if she had read Joey’s mind, “I see. It’s a pity that he doesn’t


    get it.”


    Philip didn’t know why Joey’s love was always out of reach the same way he was unaware that Zelda’s


    love was always within reach.


    Joey saw Zelda’s sadness, and she couldn’t help asking, “You like him, don’t you?”


    It was a woman’s intuition. She had suspected that Zelda hadn’t treated Philip as her brother since the


    moment he introduced Zelda to her as a psychologist.


    Zelda didn’t shy away from her question. She nodded boldly and admitted it, “I do like him. I’ve loved


    him from the moment I saw him when I was adopted by his mother. Unfortunately, he’s only taken me


    as his younger sister. He loves you.”

    Joey didn’t know what to say. Under such circumstances, she could neither encourage her to fight for it


    nor persuade her to give up on Philip. She suddenly felt that she shouldn’t have asked such a foolish


    question.
