Love at First Night (Frank and Judith)

Chapter 22

After Frank hung up the phone, he paced back and forth in the office. After a long while, he hurried back to the safe beside the desk, entered the password, and opened the safe. He quickly took out a stack of photos. When he removed the photos on the top, he saw the photo of him holding the six-year-old Jodie.

Jodie’s small hands were around his neck. Judith had a mole in the same place on her hand. Frank swallowed. His heart raced out of excitement. Was that possible? Could Judy be Jodie? The girl who he had been looking for for more than ten years? With the photo in his hand, Frank fell to the ground and frowned. He always had a feeling that Jodie had returned. He stared at the little girl in the photo with his deep eyes without blinking. He was totally immersed in the photo. The little girl in the photo smiled brightly, her big eyes as bright as stars, clear and charming! Judith returned to the office, tightly holding the phone in her hand. However, she did not dial any number.

She stared at the screen. To be honest, she didn’t want the three kids to return to Mayfield.

Their father was most likely in this city.

That night, she ran away and did not know who the kids’ father was. She blinked a few times before she slowly unlocked her phone screen. She dialed her mother’s number. On the other side of the line, a loving voice quickly sounded. “Judy.” Judith smiled happily. “Mom, what are you doing?” “I’m watching TV with Emily and Lucas.”

Judith thought for a while and said, “Mom, I’m transferred back to the headquarters. Shall we move to Mayfield?” On the other side of the line, there was a long silence! Judith knew that her mother did not want to return to Mayfield. Judith could feel that her mother seemed to have lived a painful life in Mayfield! Seven years ago, Judith was also in pain. When she was walking by the river, she saved a middle aged woman who was going to commit suicide. The woman was very beautiful, and her temperament was graceful! But she wanted to commit suicide! Judith persuaded the woman for a long

time and told the woman what happened to herself. Unexpectedly, the two of them got along well at first sight. They were both alone. The woman was determined to take Judith as her daughter. After that, Judith had been calling the woman “mother” for seven years.

Moreover, in these seven years, Judith’s mother took good care of their family of four!

Judith loved this woman more than her biological mother. Judith knew that she was making things difficult for her mother. Just as she was about to speak, a loving voice came from the other side of the line. “Judy, I will listen to you. You could prepare everything for the kids first. Before the kids start school, I will bring them over. “As for Eric, maybe you can talk to Alissa. Maybe he would have a better career in Mayfield.” Judith said excitedly, “Mom, thank you! Our lives will get better and better. These years, I have also saved some money. When I don’t have to work, I will go to see if there is a suitable house. Then, our family of five will live together, and we will live happily every day!” “Judy, I’m the one who should say ‘thank you’. You’ve been by my side all the time.” The voice on the other side of the line was full of love and concern. Judith had a lump in her throat and welled up. She gently blinked her big eyes and took a deep breath before saying, “Mom, we are family. Don’t say things like that again. After I buy a house, I will pick you up. We will never be separated anymore.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
