Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 29

A loud slap resounded loudly in the restaurant.

Maddison was so shocked by the slap that she almost couldn't register the pain. She held her hand to her stinging cheek. "Did you just slap me? How dare you slap me!"

"You insulted my child and me first. Why wouldn't I dare to slap you?"

A trace of anger appeared on Luz's face. If Maddison had only insulted her, she might have been able to ignore her since they were in public, but she should not have said that her son was a b*stard.

Previously, most of the patrons in the restaurant were enjoying their food and not taking notice of what was going on in their corner, but the loud slap attracted a lot of attention. Several people had looked up from their food to watch them. Maddison had covered her face with her hand, but the other cheek that was not covered was redder than the one that was slapped. She had lost all the elegance and reputation that she had fought so hard to build all these years.

"Luz, you'll pay for this."

Maddison couldn't stand another second of embarrassment here. She stomped her foot and exited the restaurant in a hurry.

After seeing them leave, Luz pulled Logan back to their table. She had suddenly lost all appetite for the food that she had been looking forward to. She should have checked the horoscope before coming out today. Meeting Maddison Nash had put a damper on her day.

Logan was watching her intently. He was going to retaliate for the b*stard comment as well, but he was limited in height, so he didn't carry out his plans. He wasn't very bothered about it, though, but he drew the line at insulting his mother.

However, it wasn't all in vain. At least he now knew for certain that he was Henry Maynard's son.

When he thought of that cold and angry face, there was more dissatisfaction in his eyes. That guy was not gentle at all, nor was he cute. At most, he had some money, but he also heard that his mother was rich before he was born. Why had she married him, of all people?

Compared to him, Uncle Declan was much better.

"Forget this. Didn't you want fried chicken and ice cream? I'll take you to the fast-food restaurant."

Opposite him, Luz threw down her fork. She had lost her appetite after speaking to Maddison.

"Yes! Mommy, you're the best!"

The mention of ice cream was enough to make Logan forget about who would make a better father. He grabbed Luz's arm and dragged her out of the restaurant.

The two of them left the restaurant happily. Behind them, a camera clicked several times, recording the scene that had just happened.

"Henry, are you still angry with me? I know I was wrong, can you forgive me?"

At the movie set, Emily was calling Henry and begging for his forgiveness pitifully. She knew that if she didn't admit to her wrongdoing about the perfume, she would be replaced soon.

As long as she could keep having Henry Maynard as her sponsor, she was willing to stoop to any level.

"I'm busy today. Find your own way home."

At the other end of the phone, Henry hung up without giving Emily another chance to apologize.

"What should we do? Henry is really angry."

She looked down at the phone in her hand that was still showing the ended call. She knew very well that Henry did not love her, but he had never treated her so coldly. That was how she was able to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, but it seemed that he was really angry this time.

"Emily, do you want me to send you back?"

Her assistant asked, seeing that she was in a bad mood.
