Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 33

"MR is no longer the previous MR after Henry."

Declan's tone was a little complicated. MR had not only been revived by Henry's participation, it had the potential to go down a vastly different route.

When she heard him suddenly mention Henry's name, she pursed her lips and said, "Declan, I can't be away for too long. If this is all for now, I should get back to work."

If Henry found out that she had skipped work, he might cause trouble for her.

"Okay, go ahead. I just came by to check on you."

Declan smiled and waved as he climbed into the blue SUV and left.

Henry watched the car leave and pursed his lips when he saw Luz still lingering at the entrance, also watching Declan leaving as if she was reluctant for him to leave. Luz had learnt some tricks on romance over the last seven years, it seemed.

Very good!

The news was all over the place. When Luz got off work, the lobby was already crowded with reporters, like leopards waiting for their prey to come out. All of their eyes were shining.

She stood in front of the window and looked down, then quickly averted her gaze. "Linda, thank you for reminding me of the reporters downstairs."

If it weren't for Linda's reminder, she would have been caught unawares by those predatory reporters who wouldn't have given her a chance to speak.

"Don't thank me. We're all colleagues."

Luz smiled and nodded at Linda as she left with a gesture. At present, she could only wait for a while. Maybe those reporters would get bored and leave if she didn't appear soon.

She turned to look at the office next to him, but she still couldn't see anything. Henry had always left on time. He must have been gone by now.

"No, his Maybach is still here."

She remembered the luxury car that she had seen just now. She returned her gaze to the blinds. Was Henry still in his office?

The great Henry Maynard of North City couldn't possibly be afraid of the media.

Then why didn't he leave?

"Is it because of me?"

Luz pinched her own face without hesitation. She was an adult now, she shouldn't have such unrealistic expectations, not with Henry Maynard.

She used to think that he cared anout her, but the result was... bitter.

She looked down at the time on her wristwatch. She still had to pick up Logan from school. It wouldn't do to leave him waiting on his first day of school. She frowned as she looked at the reporters on the ground floor again. They didn't seem to want to leave anytime soon. She scowled at them for a while, then made up her mind.

She straightened her clothes and called Declan.

"Declan, can you do me a favour and pick up Logan from school? I have something urgent to attend to at work."

If she told Declan that the reporters had blocked the door and she could not get out, she would definitely come to pick her up first. If that happened, it would cause more scandal. Since she had decided to lay low, she should keep to that plan.

"Don't worry, I'll go pick up Logan and take him to dinner. I'll send him back to your villa after he's finished. I'll keep him safe."

On the other end of the phone, Declan's voice was gentle and intoxicating. Hearing this, she immediately felt a little ashamed. She could not accept Declan's feelings, but she still kept looking to him when she needed help. She could not help but despise herself, but other than Mia and Declan, she had no other friends in this country. Mia always worked late at the law firm, so she had no other choice.

"Thank you, Declan."
