Love at First Night (Frank and Judith)

Chapter 42

The next day was Saturday, and Judith planned to get up at nine o’clock. She would then have breakfast and go on looking for a suitable place. Yet Judith forgot to turn off the alarm clock and thus woke up at eight. Judith had to get up. After washing up, she changed into a set of sportswear and was going to jog for an hour in the morning. Judith wouldn’t get fat even if she ate a lot. But once she got time, she would still go jogging. In her spare time, Judith would get trained in combat sports as well, to strengthen her body. Judith was healthier than she had been seven years ago. When Judith was in Kimshire, on the weekend, she would take her three kids to do morning exercise along with her mother. Those were the good old days that Judith would never forget. When Judith was going downstairs, her phone rang.

Judith saw the caller ID. She smiled happily at once. Answering the phone, Judith said, “Mom!” “Judy, I thought you would sleep late on weekends.” Judith couldn’t help but chuckle. She complained a little, “I was going to sleep late, but I forgot to turn off the alarm clock. So, now I’m going out jogging.” “It’s good to exercise more. You have to take good care of yourself since you are in Mayfield alone! Don’t worry about Lucas and Emily. They’re doing well! Alissa took Eric again today for some special event. You don’t need to worry about them. You can take your time looking for a place. I still have some savings. If you don’t have enough money for a good location, I can back you up.” When Judith heard this, she was moved. “Mom, how can I let you pay? I’ve got some savings and shares over the years. I should be able to buy a place for five.” “What are you talking about? You are my baby girl. I will always back you up. Judy, listen to me. People don’t spend much money at my age. You may use my money if you need it. You have to find a place near the school. It will be easier to pick up the kids from school.” Judith could tell that her mother was unhappy. She smiled and said, “Mom, if I don’t have enough money, I’ll let you know.” “That’s my girl. Take care of yourself. When you find a place, I’ll take the three kiddos back.” Her mom’s loving voice always warmed Judith’s heart. The two chatted for a bit more before hanging up. Judith smiled brightly. Anyone could tell her happiness from her face. Judith ran along the river behind the community. There were very few cars on this road and many people were jogging in the morning.

Judith had been living in Mayfield for more than ten years. Though she had been away for seven years, she was still familiar with the city. She kept jogging forward with a faint smile. In the crowds, her elegant figure stood out. Frank also had the habit of jogging in the morning. His villa was not far from the company, and he would also jog in the morning on weekends.

To his surprise, Frank met Judith. When Frank recalled that Judith had left without saying goodbye yesterday, his eyes turned cold. Frank tried to ignore Judith, but as he got closer to her, he couldn’t help but stop in front of Judith. Judith saw Frank. Having recalled what happened yesterday, Judith’s heart beat faster. She looked up at Frank nervously. Frank’s face was still as cold as ever. He stared at Judith coldly. Judith was used to Adam’s gentleness and friendliness. She was very unaccustomed to Frank, who was as cold as an iceberg. Frank stared at her coldly, making her feel as if she had committed a heinous crime.

Frank did not speak. The atmosphere became very awkward. Judith could not stand the embarrassment. She smiled and said, “Mr. Taylor, are you jogging as well?”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
