Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 28

Luz was surprised that her son had said such deep words.

"That's deep."

"Of course, I know what I'm talking about." Logan's glumness melted off his face as he raised his head proudly.

"Really? Then I'm all ears." Luz put down her fork and waited for him to explain further. 

"It's just that if I pretend I don't see all these delicious food in front of me and refuse to eat them, it's waste, just like it's a waste that you didn't agree to marry Uncle Declan. You're going to regret this one day."

"..."

His explanation made her speechless. She did not expect him to be so hung up that she did not agree to Declan's proposal yesterday.

"I've already told you, this is an adult matter that you won't understand. Do you think marriage is that easy?"

"Maybe I don't understand, but I have eyes. I can see who is really good to you. Uncle Declan didn't even mind that you have an extra burden in the form of me. Is that not sincere enough for you?"

If it was possible, he would not want a stepfather, but if he really had to have one, Uncle Declan was the best choice.

As a filial son, he certainly did not want his mommy to be lonely for the rest of her life. If a good man appeared, he would be willing to accept a stepfather.

"Who says you're a burden? You're mommy's sweetheart."

Hearing that Logan had described himself as a burden, Luz immediately corrected him. Logan would never be a burden to her, even if she never married again for the rest of her life.

"Fine, I won't say that anymore."

Knowing that it would only make her sad if he continued, Logan immediately picked up his fork and poked at the plate in front of him.

It didn't look as delicious as fried chicken, but the overall presentation was not bad. The smell was quite tantalizing.

A smile appeared on Luz's face as Logan finally began eating his food. Just as she was about to call the waiter over to order some ice cream as a reward for him, she spotted a lady walking in through the door. She widened her eyes in surprise and lowered her head hurriedly, trying to pretend that she didn't see her, but it was too late. The lady had already spotted her.

When Madison Nash walked over to her favourite seat by the window, she saw Luz already sitting there. Her surprise quickly morphed into disdain. The negative emotions lost her some elegance.

"Mrs Maynard, table for one today?"

The manager of the restaurant immediately greeted her with a smile. Even though Maddison was just a mistress and now a widow, she was still part of the Maynard family. It would not do to offend her.

Maddison was stunned for a while and then nodded with a smile. "Yes, I'm alone."

"Please take your usual seat here."

Since they had already locked eyes, Luz decided that there was no point in avoiding her. If this were seven years ago, she would have stood up and greeted her, but right now, there was no need for that.

Maddison followed the manager and stopped at the table where she was.

"Mrs Maynard?"

"Go ahead. I met an acquaintance I haven't seen for many years," Maddison said, with an air of arrogance.
