No one would have thought the young man before him would whip out his phone and snap a picture of Frieda while she was playing by the fish pond.
“What are you doing? Why did you take a picture of her?”
Rufus was a little furious and requested the man to delete the photo.
But the man explained with a smile, “Look at how happy she is. That’s why I can’t help but take a picture of her. You don’t find that many old and loving couples nowadays anymore.”
Rufus was rendered speechless.
Whatever. I’m done talking to him.
In the end, Rufus ignored him completely. Once Frieda was done feeding the fish, he took her and headed to the playground to look for the children and Sabrina.
Two hours later, after a jolly good time at the park, they left and made their way home.
But no one would have thought that they would be hit by a car from behind on their way back home.
Bam!
Rufus, who was sitting at the back with the children, threw his arms around the children and protected their bodies from the force of the crash.
The impact of the collision sent Sabrina slamming her chest against the steering wheel.
For a long time, her mind was blank, and her ears buzzed.
Who the heck is the reckless driver?
She cursed under her breath.
Her muddled brain slowly became clearheaded. After a while, she struggled to get up from her seat and was about to open the door to see what was going on.
And suddenly, she realized that the back door of her car was wide open.
“What happened? Why is the back door open?”
“What?”
At that moment, Rufus was beginning to recollect himself. When he heard Sabrina’s question, he turned and looked at the back door.
Strange. The car door is really open.
What was even scarier was that he realized Frieda, who had been sitting near the door was missing. Her seat was empty.
Oh gosh! Where is she?
His face turned pale. He quickly climbed out of the car and came to the front seat before asking, “Where’s Frieda? Where did she go?”
“Huh?” Sabrina was gape-mouthed, and for several seconds she was at a complete loss.
Oh no, where is she?
At that moment, a shiver ran down Sabrina’s spine.
