A Trust-fund Baby novel Chapter 29

Just after Judson laughed, he was suddenly stunned. Did he just laugh? Did he laugh sincerely? He hadn't smiled like that in over a year, had him?

Judson thought of this and stood dazedly in the sun for a long, long time...

"How are you doing now, Diana? Or have you started a new relationship? I wish you happiness…" Judson looked in the direction of N City and muttered to himself...

...

When he returned to the office in the afternoon, Katy gave him a brand new shirt. There were dozens of shirts like this in his cloakroom.

Katy respectfully asked him, "Mr. Ray, are you going to throw this shirt away?"

Judson was stunned and recalled that cute little girl as he then said, "Keep it. And don't wash it… "

Judson, who had changed his clothes, sat down in his seat again without saying a word and dealt with the various documents.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, he received a WeChat message from Jessica, "Uncle, I've been feeling guilty this afternoon about hurting your arm. Let me treat you to dinner tonight, okay?"

Judson read the message and was tempted not to say yes. But the girl said that she was guilty. And it seemed a little inappropriate if he refused.

“Ouch… ” Judson rubbed his head with a headache and sighed deeply.

Only after thinking for a while did he reply, "Well, I've just come to SKY City not long ago. Are there any delicacies in SKY City?"

Jessica replied, "Dunked dumplings, vegetable rice, bone soup, spicy hot pot, and fried dumplings… Which one do you want?"

Judson thought and replied, "Then, little dunked dumplings… "

At seven o'clock in the evening, in a small restaurant not far from the company, Jessica was enjoying one little dunked dumplings at one time, which tasted so hot that she exhaled all the time. Judson, who was also lured by her appetite, ate a few and found that the dumplings did taste good.

Jessica said to Judson as she enjoyed the food, "Hey, by the way, Uncle, let me tell you. The president of our company finally came to SKY City today, who is legendarily super handsome, super cold, better looking than the stars on TV… "

"Er… " Judson touched his nose, and thought, “I am the newly arrived president of Jessica's company. Am I that handsome?”

Judson felt very strange as he asked, "You've said he's a legend. So you have never seen Him. Maybe he's not as handsome as I am …"

Jessica gave Judson a serious look and nodded. Then she proceeded to lower her head and stuffed a dunked dumpling on her plate into her mouth...

Judson was stunned, "No, what do you mean? Why did you look at me and then nod your head? What are you trying to say?"

Jessica swallowed the dumped dumpling in her mouth and said, "I mean, Uncle, you are also very handsome. And I feel that you are better than that president of my company… "

Judson was confused, "Why do you say that… "

Jessica smiled and said, "Because you are nice. And your smile is also very nice. As for our president, it is said that he is fierce and hostile. He directly dismissed five executives whose annual salary is several million dollars each. Even the Vice President failed to plead to him… He is quite domineering… "

"Er… " Well, Judson didn’t say anything. He lowered his head and stuffed a dunked dumpling into his mouth, feeling this dunked dumpling tasted so delicious...

It was just no matter how delicious the food was, he stopped eating after eating three of them and gave the rest of the dunked dumplings on his plate to Jessica.

Jessica looked at Judson and asked, "Uncle, didn't you say it was delicious? Why aren't you eating them?"

Judson smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to eat anything. I simply don't want to… "

After staring at Judson for a while, Jessica suddenly got up, brought over a few bottles of beer from the bar, and handed one to Judson as she said, "Uncle, you have fallen out of love, haven’t you? You're in a state which is similar to that one when people are in a breakup... Being alone and thinking about your worry and not wanting to eat any of the delicious food… "

Judson was stunned, wondering whether he had been seen through. In that case, he simply nodded his head, poured himself a glass of beer, and then drank it directly in one gulp.

Then he nodded his head and smiled bitterly, "Heh, it's not exactly a break-up. It seems like she hasn't accepted me the whole time. It was my wishful thinking… "

Jessica was silent. Although she was careless, she was not stupid. So she poured herself a cup of beer as well and drank it down in one gulp, "Uncle, my roommate told me that it would be better to find someone to talk about it after a breakup. You can talk to me… "

Judson nodded and drank three or four glasses of beer directly before shaking his head and said, "There's nothing to say. She and I were high school classmates. She helped me a lot in high school and I fell in love with her. Last year, her father died. Fearing that she would be sad, I went to the city where she was to accompany her. After having accompanied her for a year, in the end, I found that she treated me as a stranger. Hehe... This is not considered to be a relationship… "

Jessica said surprised, “Your experience is similar to mine. I had a crush on a boy before the national entrance exam three years ago. Despite my family’s objections, I was enrolled in college here. It turned out the boy I liked fell in love with another girl. I found him, asking him why he had gone back on his words after we had agreed to go to college together? He laughed and told me he was joking with me at the time… "

Judson looked at the silly girl in front of him who had been smiling all along. But at this moment, her smile was filled with sadness. Judson opened his mouth and didn’t say anything...

Jessica laughed to herself and said, "Uncle, do you think I'm an idiot? Or am I too ugly? I don't know how to put on makeup… "

Judson was stunned at her words, because Jessica was not ugly by any means. Her face was fair and her body figure was curvy. She was considered to be a beauty with long legs with fair skin. As long as she dressed up a little, she would be a proper beauty.

Judson was silent: "Losing you is his loss. He will regret it later… "

...

For people like them, once they loved someone, it would be hard for them to love another person again. And they might never love somebody else again in their lives...

Judson picked up the wine glass and started drinking beer again. After revealing the saddest thing in his heart to Jessica, Judson drank more and more beer, making the cans of beer in front of Judson fewer and fewer.

After he drank too much, he couldn't help but think about Diana Shaw and burst out in tears...

...

At the same time, in the downstairs of a small hotel in Y City, with a black dress and black high-heeled shoes, Diana Shaw, also drank wine one after another...

"Judson Ray, where are you? Can I meet you again in this life…”

As Diana drank, a line of tears fell involuntarily…

...
