Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 27

The next morning, she brought Logan along with her to pay their electric bill before going to enrol him in school.

"Mommy, can't you let me have my freedom for a few more days?" Logan whined from the back seat of the car.

In his opinion, he should have more time to get used to life here before starting school. He heard that school here was very demanding, so it's only right that he spent more time getting used to it.

"I would, but I can't bring you to work with me every day."

She was just a secretary. She would be fired if she brought her child to work every day. What's more, she didn't want her son to have more contact with Henry, lest he realizes Logan's true identity.

"I can stay at home and work on my ninja moves."

He held up his arms in the posture of a ninja move. Luz laughed. "Are you a turtle?"

"..."

"Mommy, ninjas and ninja turtles are different things, okay?" Logan protested, pouting. Ninjas were formidable, unlike turtles. Why was it so hard to communicate with his mother?

"Alright, stay still. This is a good school, I went there when I was your age."

Luz pinched his cheeks and said wistfully. No matter how much suffering she endured later in her life, she was still thankful that she had a chance to have a happy childhood with loving parents and a home full of warm memories.

"It's just primary school. Why are you so proud?"

"..."

Luz drove faster at her son's teasing words. She should not let him have so much freedom anymore, or she would be the one to suffer.

The car stopped in front of a small gate. She spoke briefly to the guard stationed there, and they let them in. "You can't drive in, though."

"Don't worry, I won't drive in."

Luz immediately smiled and nodded. She pulled her reluctant son out of the car and headed towards the principal's office.

The school had undergone many renovations over the years. She was very satisfied with the facilities and environment. She walked faster.

"Excuse me, are you Mr Duncan?" she asked politely after knocking on the door.

"Yes, I am. Are you that Boone someone who called earlier for enrolment?"

"Luz Boone."

His father used to say that the two things he was most proud of in his life were his daughter and giving such a memorable name to his daughter. To this man, though, her name had been reduced to Boone someone.

"Did you bring the child?"

The principal pushed his glasses up and looked at the little fellow from head to toe.

"Yes, his name is Logan Boone." She pushed her son forwards and was about to introduce him further when the principal interrupted her. "He has his mother's surname?"

"Yes, he does."

Luz could only nod. She was still pregnant when she left Henry. How could she let her child use the surname of the Maynard family?

The principal raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what was going on. "Go ahead and handle the enrollment process. He can go to the first-grade class starting tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr Duncan."

The enrollment procedures were not as complicated as she thought. After filling in two forms and paying the tuition fees, she led the little fellow to meet his teacher. They arranged for him to start classes tomorrow, then they left the school and got into a taxi.
