The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 101

Half an hour later, Judson was sitting on the couch, looking all grumpy. "Nancy, I'm mad! Why didn't you call me when you were in danger?"

Nancy looked at Judson, whose expression was a complex mix of anger and hurt, as if he had suffered the greatest injustice.

Nancy chuckled, more amused than angry. "I wanted to call you, but my phone was in the car. Besides, you have the nerve to be mad at me?"

Seeing Nancy's expression, Judson had a sinking feeling. His voice turned more pitiful, "I was just worried about you!"

Nancy's smile was dripping with sarcasm. "Funny, because I'm pretty mad at you too. How did you and Lenard end up at Baldrick's company first thing this morning?"

Judson was speechless. Of course, Nancy was still hung up on what happened earlier. Her face darkened slightly as she continued, "Judson, haven't I told you not to go out alone? What did you promise me?" Judson hung his head, saying, "Nancy, I wasn't trying to disobey. Lenard thought I was lonely, so he took me out."

Nancy laughed, exasperated. "Lenard, the guy you had that fight with, wouldn't just take you out for no reason. What did you give him?"

Nancy knew Lenard well enough to see through Judson's antics.

Judson blinked innocently. "If I tell you, will you stop being mad?"
