Judith seemed to just realize it and said with a smile, âMr. Taylor, I almost forgot. I donât work on Saturday.â Frank also smiled. âMe too. So weâre all free on the weekend. Then letâs meet on Saturday evening!â Judith could not find a reason to refuse. It was not easy for her son to help her find an excuse, but luck didnât help her. After all, it was Saturday. âAlright then.â She could only nod in resignation. At this time, Gary had already come over in his car. âFrank, Ms. White, Lucas, get in the car!â Frank took the suitcase from Judith and walked to the car.
Judith thought that Frank was different from what she heard. At least, he was very nice to her. If Judith knew the reason and knew of Frankâs cruel means, she would never have imagined that Frank would be so gentle. Maybe only Judith could see Frank being like this.
They got into the car. Frank did not sit in the front but sat behind with Judith and her son. Through the rearview mirror, Gary glanced at Frank, who was smiling from ear to ear. Gary was shocked. Frank seemed to have been reborn. Gary thought to himself, âJudith is really charming.
Others could see mountains, see the sea, and see everything in the world, but Frank was different. He could only see her. When he was drunk, he would crazily call out Judyâs name. He looked so painful.
Sometimes, he would be haunted by nightmares, and he seemed to have returned to that night and to the world without Jodie. I couldnât even wake him up. Only when the nightmare ended could he wake up.
Every time he woke up, he was very painful and tired, and he blamed himself.
Judith, you must be Jodie! In this way, Frank could live. Because Jodie is the malediction in Frankâs heart. Everything in the world can be obtained with effort. But when he is hopeless, no one can wake him up.â
âWhere are we going to eat?â Seeing that they did not speak, Gary felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, so he spoke up. Frank said expressionlessly, âDrive Judy and Lucas back first. Lucas is tired.â âNot going to eat?â Garyâs voice was a little out of control because he was about to starve to death.
When he went on a business trip with Frank, he was always not full and could not sleep well. âIâm sorry, Mr. Powell. After we go downtown, weâll take a taxi back. You guys go and eat first.â Judith heard the tone of Gary and she said apologetically. Frank glanced at Gary and a sharp look flashed across his eyes as he thought sullenly, âWhat was Gary doing?â The chill coming from the top of his head startled Gary. He smiled and said, âMs. White, you must be joking. Iâm just surprised that we donât go to eat together. I will drive you and your son home. Besides, I am not hungry.â Gary said against his heart. He was starving! Besides, if he wanted Judith and her son to get off halfway, Frank would have to peel him.
âThank you!â Judith knew that he was hungry. From his tone, she knew that he was very unhappy. But there was no other way. She had already gotten into his car. What she said just now was just to be polite. It would be troublesome if she got off and took a taxi back. Lucas glanced at his mother. In fact, he was not tired. He deliberately said that because he knew his mother did not want to go.
