Love at First Night (Frank and Judith)

Chapter 25

Edwin opened the door for Judith gentlemanly. So Judith thanked him and got in the car. Edwin started the car and waited for Frank. Frank’s voice on the phone was relatively loud. He seemed to be very angry. After a while, he hung up the phone in rage and got in with the car door being fiercely pulled open. Seeing Judith in the car, Frank was a little stiff at first. He embarrassedly withdrew his gaze. Noticing the slight change in Frank’s expression, Edwin said nothing but got them on the road. Judith found it quite uneasy with Frank sitting aside.

It was said that Frank hated girls.

Some people even doubted whether he liked girls or boys. They said that it was very likely for him to be gay. When Judith was in the branch company, she often heard the staff gossiping about Frank. But they had sat in the same car today. And they were now even sitting side by side. Obviously, the rumors were not true. Judith was a little uncomfortable. Suddenly she saw a strawberry-flavored lollipop between their seats! She smiled and asked, “Mr. Taylor, can I have a lollipop?” Gazing at her deeply, Frank picked up a lollipop and unpacked it, and then handed it to Judith, His warm gesture made Judith smile. “Thank you, Mr. Taylor! I always feel that the strawberry, flavored lollipops are particularly sweet and have a taste of happiness.” Frank was shocked by her words! The sweet voice of a girl crossed his mind. “Frank, here you are. It’s a strawberry-flavored lollipop. Try it! It contains the taste of happiness.” He did not like sweets. At that time, his mother had left him. During that time, he was so dispirited that he did not want to do anything. To make him happy, Jodie always tried everything to cheer him up. She would even stuff the food into his mouth if he refused to eat. Frank took a deep breath and said in a slightly trembling voice, “Why do you feel strawberry flavored lollipops have a taste of happiness?” He had also asked Jodie this question back then,

Judith replied without thinking, “The sweet taste gives me pleasure!” Did people need a reason for like something? But she was also in puzzlement of the reason why she especially liked strawberry-flavored

lollipops! With the lollipop in her mouth, she softly rotated the stick with her slender fingers.

Her eyes were gentle and her red lips were as seducing as cherries. It was as if she was inviting him

“Frank, you’re so stupid. That’s because the sweet taste makes me feel good!” Their answers were so similar. Frank stared at her with his dark eyes. His fists clenched together in excitement. Edwin glanced at who was about to lose control of his emotions Frank in the rearview mirror. The setting sun shone on half of his handsome face, and the loneliness on it became more and more obvious. Edwin knew that Frank was very excited at the moment.

Edwin was afraid that the bigger hope Frank had, the more disappointed he would be. He wouldn’t take Judith as Jodie, would he? When Jodie had the accident, she was already over six years old and already had memories. There was only one possibility that she had not come back for so many years. She had died. They all understood it, but no one said it out. This was Frank’s spiritual ballast, the only hope to support him to stay alive. He wanted to find Jodie and bring his mother back to his side. This was also the reason why he worked so hard for money. Sensing Frank’s burning gaze, Judith felt somewhat uncomfortable, so she looked out of the window. Under the setting sun, the traffic was like a tide. It was rush hour, and the traffic was in a jam. To Judith, she suddenly felt that it might be much more comfortable walking than sitting in the same car with Frank.
